mage Preaches on the Evil of Gambling
Text: “My heart shall not reproach me
po long as I live.”"—Job, xxvii., 6
It is very {important that your heart or
conscience shall not aceuse you. Your
happiness does not depend on anybody
else’s conscience or heart, but on your own.
God gave you a conscience, with the com-
mand that you should follow its behests,
and when you get into the other world that
conscience will be your judge. In other
words, God will not judge you, but you will
Judge yourself,
It is your conscience that
individual, which spiritually
Ana its approval is worth more than the
approval of all the world beside. You can-
not go far wrong if you always do what you
think is right. You may ask advice, but
you should decide for yourself what it
est to do, and then do it, wh
blame or praise, If every one wera to fol
low this rule we should have a large differ
ence of opinion among men, but avove it a
divine harmony of purp When
millennium cones we shall not ail think
alike, neither shall we allow any one to do
our thinking for us, but we shatl think for
ourselves until thinking changes to
viotion. Then we shall follow our convie
tions as we follow the flag of our country,
aud hold to them and be true to them, and
#80 win the smile of God.
Wnat you need most of all is to be your
best, truest and noblest sell. For that
end you came into the world, and unless
you accomplish that end your life will be
essentially a failure and the requirements
of the Almighty will stand neglected,
Men may call you heretical, but
men say of you is of no importance in
arison with what God will

ments of gambling may differ, but the

Whatever you expect to get from yoth
| neighbor without offering an equivalent in
| money, or time, or skill, Is either the pro-
yduet of theft or gaming. Lottery tickets
and lottery policies come into the same
category, Bazars for the founding of hos
pitals, schools and churches, conducted
on the raMing system, come under the
same denomination, Do not, therefore,
associate gambling necessarily with any
instrument, or game, or time or place, or
think the principle depends upon whether
you pay for a glass of wine or one hundred
shumes of raflrond stock. Whether you
patronize “auction pools,” "French mu-
tunls,” or “book-making,” whether you
employ faro or billiards, rondo and keno,
cards or bagatells, the very idea of the
thing is dishonest; for it professes to be-
stow upon you a good for which you give
