Gaffney Ledger. Oct. 2-9-lS-83rd. Chicago, Oct., 18.—In this sermon the preacher scathingly exposes and denounces the national evil of gam bling, which has spread to all classes and conditions of men. He utters a wholesome and timely protest against those forms of the mania which are corrupting our social and business life. The text is Genesis ill, 11), “In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread.” Some years ago I was walking in beautiful Fairmount park, Philadel phia, with my father. He suddenly turned and said to me: “Frank, next week I am going to write a sermon upon the question ‘Is life worth living?’ I am going to show that the solution of that question is conditional. Wheth er life is or is not worth living de pends upon how you live it. If a man lives In this world with the idea that he is only to receive and not to give, if he is cursed with the enervating conviction that he must be carried around on a litter and if be does not want to be a worker, a laborer, a doer for mankind, then life is not worth living. The sooner that man is dead the better. But if a man goes through this world realizing the glorious op portunities of Christian usefulness and If he is willing to spend and be spent for others, then life is worth living. Then the longer we live ou earth the happier we shall be and the more we shall make others happy.” But, though at the Edenic expulsion the divine command was given, “By the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,” yet from time immemorial there have been thousands upon thou sands of men and women who have tried to shirk the obligations of labor which God has placed at every hearth stone. They have been seeking a means whereby through the opened door of the Roman temple erected to Fortuna, the goddess of chance, they could pos sess a fortune without working for It or without contributing anything to the world in return for it. They tvould be wreckers pure and simple. They would become vampires upon the social organism, sucking out the life’s blood of others, as the Australian bats fasten themselves upon the backs of the horses, cattle and sheep until they have drunk their fill, or as the European cuckoo lays her eggs in the nests of other birds, or like a parasitical plant, w’hich absorbs the nourishment of other plants. They would drink, yet never themselves become fountains of w r ater at whose sparkling springs oth ers might quench their parching thirst. Worshiper* of a Blind Goddess. In every age there have been thou sands upon thousands of devotees at Fortuna’s shrine. They are blind wor shipers of a blind goddess. The an cient Romans showed their wisdom in picturing her with eyes shut and large wings on her feet. She sees nothing of the sacrifices of her worshipers, and she cares nothing for the heartbreak of those who have given her their all. She cares not whose fortune she snatches away. When she gathers up the gold in her arms those wings on her feet can make her and her treas ured burden disappear as quickly as a roulette wheel can whirl, as quickly as a man’s deed for his house can change hands at the turning of a card, as quickly as a race horse can travel about the track of a derby. The god dess of chance can fly away so quickly that in an instant a man can be ruined for time and for eternity. My theme is defiant gambling. De fiant, yea! The gambler defies God and in utter recklessness stakes his fortune in this world and his hopes of the next. This accursed evil Is a vio lation of God’s laws as well as man’s. Defiant because when the winnings and losings of a gambler’s lifetime are balanced It will inevitably be found that the demon Fortuna has robbed her victim both of his soul and his pocket- book. The smile of this evil genius is more to be dreaded than her frown. The smile allures, but It hides the scowl which might warn the devotee of the rutblessness with which she in tends completely and eternally to de stroy him. The hangman’s suavities do not make the rope’s grip less fatal; neither did the politeness and deference with which the Parisian execunoner welcomed Louis XVI. to the guillotine blunt the keen edge of the descending knife. Gatnbllnv I* Robbery. Gambling is robbery. It takes wealth and gives nothing in return. It puts not one copper into the world’s treas ury. It plants no seed. It digs no gold from the mine. It grows no wool upon the sheep’s back. It builds no steam ship lines. It manufactures no goods, and it retails no finished products. It does nothing for national or social de velopment. It had no more to do with the marvelous development of the twentieth century than the vast riches of the piratical buccaneers of old had to do with creating the wealth of the four teenth and the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Its mission Is always ruin ous. Ever does it raise a black flag of death and never the white flag which should always be carried by the “he roes of peace.” Gambling cannot even lay claim to the indirect advantage* which a legiti mate business provide* for the com munity. Every legitimate business Is a benefit to mankind. When a man like old Commodore Vanderbilt started out to make a success In fills world not even his most Intimate friend* could charge him with being an inten tional philanthropist. Any one who had any financial dealings with old Cornelius always knew that he was looking out first and last for himself, and for himself alone. But when Cor nelius Vanderbilt in the legitimate role of railroad developer served himself he was also serving mankind. His rail roads gave employment lo thousands and tens of thousands of men and sup ported those men’s families. His iron roads developed whole regions in the west which would never have been opened by any other pioneer than the Cyclopean eye of the locomotive’s head light. When okl Cornelius Vanderbilt made millions of dollars for himself he also made millions for his employees and hundreds of millions for his coun try. But what increase of capital did the world receive when, in 1861, a man of the name of Garcia at the Homburg gambling resort won in one night 1,750,000 francs, or when, about the same time, in Wiesbaden two French men lost 3,000,000 francs, or when, a few years ago, Khalil Bey lost at the gaming table $2,000,000 which he had inherited from his father, or when the niece of Cardinal Mazarin won in a single sitting from the Duchess of Portsmouth $40,000 or Lady Castle- maiue of Charles II.’s court lost in one night over $125,000? Did all these transactions increase the world’s wealth by the value of one five cent loaf of broad? Did they help in one instance to feed the hungry or gP T e em ployment to the poor? Wall Street Evil*. When, under the evil manipulations of the Wall street gamblers, the rail road stock of a large corporation is “watered” and its price made to jump up and fall as the thermometer’s quick silver drops at the touch of the October frosts, and thousands upon thousands of small gamblers who have bought their railroad stock upon “margins” and not ns a true Investment are frozen out, does such Wall street gambling build one freight car or span one river with a new bridge or erect one new depot or upholster one Pullman sleep er? The Puritans used to call a pack of cards the “devil’s prayer book.” Did you ever hear of the “devil's prayer book” teaching the gamester how he could be a producer and not a de stroyer? No, my friends, no, no, no! Anything but that. The gambling habit never created one farthing for the welfare of any community. Thus, my brother, I congratulate you If you have never been a gambler or In league with gamblers. I congratu late you If you are one of those men unwilling to be a parasite, a vampire or absorbent of othermen’s Industries. I congratulate you, even though you may never have amassed the illegitimate fortune of a Baron Blanc, whose inter national gambling crimes have created a Monte Carlo or of a Benazet or a Devaux, who used to run the gambling casinos of a Spa, an Aix-la-Chapelle or a Baden-Baden before the German par liament in 1872 bade them begone, or the illegitimate fortunes of the evil owners of a Louisiana lottery, who. year after year flagrantly bribed a state legislature until at last the out raged Christian people of that com monwealth, with the aid of the United States postmaster general, rose in their might and destroyed this accursed and debauching infamy. Never have any dealings In any way with defiant gam bling. The gambling passion not only robs men of their fortunes, but demoralizes their minds. It unfits its victims for the common duties of ordinary life. It overstimulates the brain and the im agination until after awhile work- honest, hard, practical work—has for the gambler’s diseased mind the same kind of repulsion that a glass of rich dairy milk has for the Inflamed throat of a chronic drunkard or the sight of a clear, cool stream of water for the bloodshot eye of a mad dog whose tongue and mouth are covered with the white foam of fatal hydrophobia. A Volanlnry Slave. The healthful desire for work and the gambler’s passion do not nest in the same heart. They belong not to the same brood of children. They are nev er nourished by the same mother. When the young man fresh from a Christian home first hears the rattle of a dice box and is led into the sanctum sanctorum of the baccarat seance all his noblest sensibilities are intensely shocked. But as his astonished eyes see great piles of coin and greenbacks being passed across the table after awhile fascination drives away fear. Then the warnings and restraints of a rebuking conscience are shaken off with such questions as these: “What Is the use of my working hard every day of the week except Sunday and only re ceiving $6 or $10 on pay night when I might earn ten times that sum In a quiet game? What Is the use of carry ing bundles and being ordered about by the heads of the different business departments when by getting sure tips I can live a life of fun and excitement at the races? What is the use of my being a white slave when I can win my financial emancipation by a little intelligent Investment In lottery or pol icy? I might draw there a lucky prize and live on Easy street the rest of my life. Somebody must win every time. Why cannot I be that somebody?” So the gambler's cupidity begins to work. The young man’s brain becomes befud dled. He shirks his daily tasks. As a poor, diseased, mental incompetent who is striving to solve the impossible math ematical problem of perpetual motion he tries to work out a system of “bow to break the bank.” He studies “chance books.” He hunts up his guiding star or the star which shone brightest on the night upon which he was born Then at last, with all reasoning powers gone and blinded to all the duties o* ordinary life, the crazed enthusiast wll 1 haunt the gaming table as he one* gladly sought his study desk or th storeroom counter. Young men, I solemnly appeal to you. Some of you have already heard the sound of the clicking roulette wheel. Are you going to throw your life away at the altar of chance? Are you going to unfit yourselves for the duties of life by the gambler’s craze? I assure you that without bravely and faithfully fulfilling the ordinary daily tasks .\*ou will never succeed in any thing. The evil demon called Fortuna will beggar you and enslave you. If you frequent her shrine you will sac rifice your liberty as surely as did that free negro upon the Mississippi steam boat before the war. He first wagered his money and lost. Then at last he placed his “papers of freedom” upon the center of the table and gambled his black skin back into the Alabama cotton fields and into the Louisiana rice swamps. Why Piny I iiff Garda Are Tabooed. I charge upon this gambling mania a direct robbery of the Christian world in that by besoiling legitimate recreations with its foul touch it has made it impossible for decent men to enjoy certain healthful relaxations. It Is gradually stealing from us the priv ilege of enjoying outdoor sports and indoor games by identifying them with betting and speculation. Whenever the leprous hand of the gambler is placed upon a game that sport must be forever escheived by the good and the pure. On account of the gambler the Christian church has l>een compelled to send forth its edict of excommunica tion upon the deck of cards. It Is com pelled to declare that every one of the kings and queens and jacks of spades and diamonds and dubs and hearts is a knave because cards have become publicly recognized as the gambler’s tools, as the trowel is the mason’s tool All consecrated Christian people shouh look upon a pack of cards as did John Philip Quin, the reformed gambler when in public meeting he once said “And now, after all these years of ex perience and acquaintance with all the professional gamblers in this country. I can truly say the parlor card table is the kindergarten of the gambler’s hell.” On account of the gambler’s baneful touch the angel of wrath and denun elation, who stood with drawn sword at the Edenic paradise, Is standing to day at the entrance of every public race track saying to all good people, “Thou shall not enter here.” Talk to me about the development of the horse at the race track! Every man of any Intelligence knows that the race track today Is chiefly run for the benefit of the gamblers. Without the damning Influence of the bookmakers the race horse would not attract enough people today as a money investment to pay for his oats and his blankets. On ac count of the gambling evil even the bowling alley today, the public billiard table, the yachtsman’s white sail and college athletics are under condemna tion. In view of the immense amount of money which changes baftds at ev ery football game, it Is a .very grav* question whether it would not be better for the different college faculties to cast their influence against every sport which would take students away from the home campus. In reference to the evil influence of gambling upon outdoor sports and in door games Isaac Disraeli, the father of the great British premier, once wrote, “Gamester and cheat were sy nonymous terms in,the time of Shake speare and Johnson, and they have hardly lost much of their double sig nificance in the present day.” As soon as the gambler’s genius hovers over a game, that moment the sport is inev itably accursed. Deadly Foe of Trae Sport. Now, my friends, I protest against this all pervading gambling infamy. I protest because it is not respectable for me to go and participate in some of these outdoor sports which are essen tial for mental and physical relaxation. I protest against this gambling infamy degrading the football field and the baseball diamond because there Is noth ing wrong in such games in themselves, but only as the gambler’s evil genius has made them wrong. I protest, as Robert E. Spear, the Princeton ath lete, protested In his "Frank Talk About Gambling ind Betting.” “It is the contention,” he wrote, “that betting money is sportsmanlike. The very re verse is true. It is this that introduces professionalism into college sports. When men stake money they are will ing to do dishonorable things to shape the result so that they will win. The introduction of money is fatal. Bet ting is the deadly foe of true sport.” If you have any doubt about the truth of this sweeping statement you can easily verify it by going to some college town after any great athletic contest. The inebriety you will witness on its streets is disgusting. But there is another reason why I denounce defiant gambling. This evil mania leads its victims to squander other people’s money as well as their own. Now, I am not alluding to the poor, half crazed clerk who will steal from his employer In order to bet on the races. I am not alluding to the poor servant girl who opens her mis tress’ pocketbook In order to take out a fifty cent piece to squander It In a policy shop, or to the bank president who, as trustee of an estate, criminally sinks In wildcat speculations the mou ey Intrusted to his care. They an criminals, and they know It. But 1 am alluding to those who think they are wagering only that money which Is theirs by right. Pit of Htornal Woo. Young man, you say that you own your own money and have a right to do with it as yon will. No, you have not Where did you get that money? “Oh,” you say, “father left it to me in his will.” For what did he leave it to you? Did he not leave it as a truit? Did he not leave it to you in order that you with It could continue to spread abroad his Christian influence? Money is a representative word. Money translated into the ordinary language of life means work and blood aud sweat and exhausted energy. Mon ey! Why, that represents the woman scrubbing at the tub and the book keeper compiling his figures and the nurse pouring out the medicines and the carpenter building houses and the flowers for the sick and the gospel for the ignorant and the depraved. Do you mean to tell me, O man, that at the gambling table you Lave a right to squander your mother’s and fa- ! ther’s substance like that? And yet go into any one of the postgraduate | schools and colleges today and you will find young men at the gaming ta- i ble not more surely destroying them- i selves than squandering the money ! that was won by the self denying sac- j rifiees of parental lives. “But,” some one else says, “the mon- | ey I have is mine. Why? 1 did not in herit it or have it given to me. I made it. | Therefore I have a right to do with it as I please.” Oh, no, my brother, you 1 have not. That money which you j- made is not yours. It belongs to your children. When your little children came Into the world they brought to you certain moral obligations. You had no right to become a father unless you were ready to the best of your ability to look after your babies. That,! Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be bom afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or If, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Dr. Xott, I believe it was, who said. ‘A gambler’s heart after awhili* will become so dead to all love that if necessary he will be will ing to gamble upon his own mother’s coflin lid.” You say that is a mon strous statement. I say it is not. lie may nut do that, but the gambler will do worse. He will destroy his chil dren. It would be infinitely more hu mane for me to gamble upon my moth- : er’s coffin lid than to gamble away my children’s education and opportunities. The cold lips of my dead mother could not rebuke me, while the cracked, blls- : terlng tongue of the outraged and dis honored and disgraced child of a heart less gambler might curse my soul into the black pit of eternal woe A Rale With No Exception*. “But,” says some one again, “it Is i not certain that I should lose. If I win at the gambling table I am guilt less of the wrongs against parents and children that you are denouncing.” ! Well, my brother, with a gambling tendency you have no right to suppose any such case. All gamblers—shall I say all? Yes, practically all—ultimate ly lose every ceut they ever win at Fortuna’s altar. There are practically no exceptions to this rule. Fortuna’s temple was built for the goddess of chance, but in gambling there is no chance; the devotee practically loses all. If this statement is not true how can you account for the fact that every year the annual expenditures to run Monte Carlo are $5,000,000, and yet each year the shareholders of that evil resort divide nearly $3,000,000 profits? If this statement is not true how can you account for the fact that the Lou isiana lottery was able to expend mil lions upon millions of dollars every year for corruption and bribery and “public Improvements” and taxes and yet was able to make its owners mil lionaires many times over?

All “systems” which have ever been devised to break the “bank of chance” were failures, and they are always sure to be failures. In a Chinese temple I have seen the poor invalids before a hideous Idol of wood make a prayer to their "god of health” and then select at random an arrow out of a wampun, with a certain medicine marked upon It, and expect that that medicine would cure them of their disease. So I have seen poor dupes in Monte Carlo in the same foolish way trying to work out a “system” by which the god of chance would give to them unlimited wealth. As nil such “systems” are failures and will always be failures I would today give you a “system” which, If worked out, will bring a compeuteney and eter nal happiness, if not unlimited good. Tills Is my system: Never In your life try to possess a dollar unless you are ready to give an equivalent In labor and sweat and toll. Never spend a dollar unless you have first earned It and have it in your possession. Never run into debt. Never by speculation or by progressive euchre party or by “prizes” at church fair or by “raffle” countenance in any way the develop ment of the gambling spirit in others. Draw heavily from one bank only, and that the great bank of divine grace. Circulate In every way Its bank notes of kindness and forgiveness and sym pathy. Let your one great purpose be not “bow can I make others serve me,” but "bow can I serve others.” Let your faith, hope and peace be centered In Christ the Saviour of men and make him the Guide and King of your life. Bach a “system” as I have marked out Is a sure system. It Is Christ’s system It will never bankrupt you this side of the grave except of your sinful mean ness. And it Is sure to bring you per fect peace beyond the grave and give to you all the limitlesa wealth of the treasure city of Qod.
