"e h} in A fl The speciffe character of gambling then is the stakin of money on a gmue of hazard, or ot hazard and skill com- bined. in the hope of making gain. There are many forms in which it is practiced but the most common are the lottery and betting. 1n the train of gambling come a whole group of vi- ces. that seldom are far severed from it, Money easily made in easily spent and a ao-called code of honor enjoins that both winner and loser ehull treat the company to drink. In this way drink- ing habits are usually "ssoeiated with almost every form of gambling. Then in most of the games there are. ways of winning other than playing fair, so that expertness in cheating is exit-our- aged. and thus there is produced it crookeduess of character. and it way of using one's Wits that is not honorable, This habit of ciookedness teadily leads to quarreling and there are strifes and blows and Somet'mes even shedding of blood. All these and other vices tol- low in the trail but the original and essential mark of gambling is the stalr ing of money in the hope of gain. What then is gambling ? In general It may be said to be gaming fonmoney yet all gaming for money is not strict- ly speaking, gambling. Races are run und teats of skill accomplished for the incentive of apnze, which cannot be classed as gambling. although in cases where the prizes are nmde up of the money paid for entering on Ihe contest it approaches that form of gambling where the money is pooled and the possession of it determined by the race or game. In any case if the prizes are made so large as to induce a class of people to enter on the gain: a as a pro- tessional meunbof making gum. the re- sults will be scarcely less injurious than where money is lost or won by definite gambling. " may indeed be questioned, Whether games are ever' on a real, healthy footing, where more encouragement is needed than the tio. ral wreath for which the youth of un- cient Greece used so umnfully to con- tend. What then leads to gambling! There are two muster passions at whose door the charge of the sin of gambling may be laid. The first is the passion for gain -the lean wolf of Avarice which Dante says "has “wished many lands." You see this this on every side. It is evident in speculations in land and grain. in stocks and hands. Home of these ttntnsactions may he curzied on m ways that are honoralrle, but many of them would more properly be class, ed as gambling. So long as this kind of speculation is popular so long will the passion he fed that leads up to the gambling table. _ _ _ - Theother pussmn that leads to gamh- ling is the mad cravmhg for excite- ment. Chambers in his lncyclopoedia analysis thus passion in the following judicious sentence ; "In general it (gambling) is resorted to as a refuge a- gainst the depressing sensations of languorand vacancy, which the want of active exeutmn Causes in those who have. no inner. life." There in a word is the root of gambling. '1 he vacant mind demands excitement to prnduce which at every step the stimulant has to be increased. l‘hus as the game pulls there has to he added the lash in the form of a money stake. This in tum has to be increased in amount till reckless of everything, a man will stake his all. aye his very life and.honor, to gratify the excitement of the moment. If these are the master passions which feed the voracious gambling habit. the question comes. in how far are they stimulated by the practice of playing cards, pool, billiards or other game or practice with which the gambling habit IS connected? lt is evident that skill in any of these does not, directly pro- duce gambling, but the question is in how far do they feed the ptssion for gain or the passion for excitement which leads to gambling lt' Cham- bers is right in saying that gambling Is resorted to as a. relief from the scum- tion of languor inthuse who have no inner life it follows that any game that absorbs the interest, and takes up any large part ot the time which is given to teed the inner life will leave a. hungering which it has nothing to satisfy. Jr is this constant stimulating of the passion for excitement. without. stirring the inner life that seems the greatest danger at all this class of games to which 1 have refelred. Whether gambling is increasing " rapidly as many assert or not, there is no question of its being very preva- lent. It has secured a. footing in almost every circle of human interest. For long it has possessed the turf, and it threatens in like manner to degrade every form of sport. it has invaded the Civic and political domain so that the prospectsm a presidential election. or the fate of a government is rated by the odds that are staked on the issue. It " even walking its way into social life. and its presence is marked in the forms of common speech. Under these circumsancesl ask for space in your columns, briefly to discuss " What is Rambling, what leads up to it and how it play be. checked. " It will he asked in how farthis dang- " is obviated by substituting for curds or billiards such games its Nationts,Lost Heir. Flinch, Logomachie, or any of myriad forum of amusement that the ingenuity of dealers has devised. H. as many claim. that some at least. ot these arethe old g-une of cards in a new dress. then whatever danger' lurks in the game played by spades and clubs will still he found in the same game though arrayed in more modern apparel l even if, as others claim, there is an essential difference between the assion stiired b these and that o/tuf,',",".,'),' h cards anilothers of " like order, it s%'rfi1'1lh",' be held that the mental food which these can supply will go far to awaken the mind or soul within. Bo long as that is the case if much time is devoted to the best of them. the result will be much the same as in the absorption of the mind in the much condemned cards If a temporary excitement is produced Without any stirring of the deeper life the tendency will ever be to keep up this superficial excitement by ever in. creased stimulation. lThus for the kid ,',t'i',? games will come the craving for 9 sin spades and clubs, and from these again the weary spirit Will turn to the same old excitement in the form of gambling only to tind that all such excitement instead ot being bread for man is but husk: for the swine. The ill is deeper rooted than can be cured by a mere change in the form of the some. Be REV. Bur. 1rarutrwamsos, Gambling. Oar Furniture Sale is still on.
