to this prevalent evil. Public opinion needs, to be educated and aroused. There is all too little conscience with reference to its baneful effect, !."', "Our laws are good, but they are evaded, and public opinion does not demand their, enforcement, and in this regard the public conscience is unsocial." :' y.

The Rev. I E. Murray, of the First Christian Church said in part: "The minister of the gospel is not an officer of the law. It is not his business to evidence of law violation and prosecute the offender. We have officials whose sworn duty it is to do that. , It is the duty of every christian to obey the law and to be an example of correct conduct. "The duty of the church is to teach the principles of religion. . The pulpit may help ' mould sentiment. Many people are Ignorant of the law. Many are Ignorant of the evils of gambling. A game of chance, a lottery or raffle are simply Innocent amusements. "Where is the wrong in playing a game of cards or throwing; dice for some thing of value? .What harm in a raffle or lottery? There can be nothing so terribly immoral in betting on an uncertain issue. Law Forbids Gambling. "The first fact, to note in this discussion is that the law forbids all of

these things and provides penalties for

their violation. One of the greatest dangers threatening our government

today is the growing disregard for

law. There is not much danger from Bolshevism, from the alien, but if the

GAMBLING CURSE

(Continued from Page One) outlawed by Louis XIV. because so many nobles were ruined by it. Race Condemns It. "The instinctive judgment of the wisest mliids in all ages has discerned in gambling a practice fraught with danger-to the individual, and possible ruin to . those involved, , henve it is condemned as unsocial. Herbert Spencer has said, 'Gambling is the meanest o vices.' On this subject Jie is both . eclenitflc and orthodox. What is meaner than dishonest -gain gotten in this way? "The gambling spirit is, at all times, a stupendous evil, and it is one of the blighting curses of modern life. The principle Involved is the same, wherever found, and gamblers are indentical, whether the wealthy gambler In the exchange, or the thoughtless young man throwing dice at a cigar counter, or the ragged urchin in the back alley flipping pennies, or the society woman In the parlor game. "There is no essential difference between winning $5 in a gambling den, or playing in the home for a prise bought with $5. But you say the difference is in the demoralizing surroundings. But the passion acquired by the one often leads to the other. Too often homes become training schools for gambling. "What is needed is an awakening

of the social conscience with reference

American people are disloyal the very foundations ; of our government are undermined. We need at this time a campaign of education in American ideals. ;.. , - "We would , do well to recall and heed the words of Lincoln in a public address delivered in 1837. Speaking of law violations be said: Let every

American, every lover of liberty, swear by the blood of the revolution never to violate in the least particular, the

laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. "Let every American remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father and to tear the charter of his own and his children's liberty.' Let revenence for the law be breathed by every . American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in the schools; let it be written in primers and spelling books and in almanacs; let is be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. In short, let it become " the political - religion of - the

nation: and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor,' the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions sacrifice unceasingly upon its altar-" ' H lanes' Views. Charles E. Hughes once said: "Everybody respects and obeys the laws he likes. The test of respect for law is where law is obeyed and ud-

Jheld in its majesty even though it

nurts. "Playing or betting at or upon any game or wager, selling lottery tickets

or shares in a lottery scheme or gift

enterprise, or sending money by mail

or otherwise to any lottery scheme, or

permitting a building to be used for such purpose are all unlawful and any

violating the law is subject to fine or

imprisonment.

"The law against raffling reads as follows: 'Whoever sets up or proposes any money, goods or chattels to be raffled for - shall, on conviction, be

fined not less , than ten dollars, nor

more than one hundred- dollars.' "There is also a penalty for advertis

ing a lottery or raffle. : Laws are en

acted for the protection of society. The demoralizing effect .? of gambling Is recognized.. Hence the law.

. The Rev. R. L. Semans of the First Methodist church, preaching on the text, "Thou shalt not steal," said in part: "This is a good text for the end of the year when we balance our books and ask how we got our money and

how we have used it. The creed of stewardship teaches, first, that all is the Lord's and men are trustees; second, that we must endeavor to give an adequate return in service for all that we receive; - third, that ; we' ac-

knowledge our stewardship by giving one tenth. "The spirit of stealing is the desire to get something; for nothing. Two forms of stealing that are common today are gambling and profiteering. A mania to get something for nothing has swept over the world, and we have not escaped. We are fast becom-
