Delivered by Him Lnst; Night Beforo
a Lnrgo Congregation in the Elm
Fnrk Church It Is tho Flist hi
n Series That is Sure to Attract
Wldo Attention Manner in Which
the Reverend Speaker Handled His
Subject Last Night.
"That Hoy" Is tho subject of it series
of sermons Row C. M. Ginin, 1) D.,
proposes to deliver In Elm Park church.
The first one wns listened to by a
large congregation last evening. It
wns an Intensely Interesting; us well
as nn Intensely prnctlcnl sermon nnd
it is a pity that husbands could not
have heard the address nnd have been
moved by the solemn warnltig It con
tained. His topic last night wns "Who Shall
Have Him?" from the text "And tho
streets of the city shall be futl of
bo)s" (Each, vlll: 5). After describing
the conditions of desolation that gae
basis for tho prophecy, he spoke with
intense earnestness regarding the per
ils that surround yie boys of this
town, llrsL referring to nn incident
where a foreigner, laden with a heavy
pack, had been assaulted by a crowd
of boys in tho suburbs and had been
obliged to seek refuge in a street car.
In part, Dr. Giffln bald:
CITY STREETS UNSAFE.
"The streets of a city should be safe
for everybody every hour of the day
or night, but our city streets are and
have nlw.as been places of Immenbe
temptation to tho boy. It Is tho busi
ness of the city to so pave its roads
that they may afford no menace to the
traveler. .... is under obligations to
keep the sidewalks In repair, to close
the mantraps so that the pedestrian
may pass in safety, and for any neg
ligence on those matters It is respon
sible by law for the damages sus
tained. "It is also the positive duty of the
city authotltles to see that no solicita
tion to sin and destruction threaten
the youth, that no posters disgust and
degrace and to lead them in the dlt ac
tion of lasclvlousness and hell, But
as the stieets are It will not be a long
time before the devil will get that boy
If he remain In them. You ask what
are you going to do with him, and if
you shall allow him to tear the nerves
of the household out by the loots In his
determination to get out.
"If it is a question between sufferint?
from his noise and lmpottunity or suf
fering from having him tuliied body
and soul, there ought not to be any
hesitation. The boy should be allowed
to Indulge in a reasonable amount of
bolsterousnet,s. It is his play time, but
at this petlod Is largely determined
hia moral characteristics for all time.
Don't crush him Into stupidity, he has
a right to roar and howl. Pin down the
Moor with more nulls, tack the plaster
fast. Take up the carpets If they ute
too good to be worn out, but let him
hap a happy time at home.
"Theie aie those who say 'Let him
get out and learn the strength of sin.
The ancients believed in the toughen
ing process that killed off the feeble,
but that is not modern civilization. It
is not tho tight way to send forth tho.se
unable to htand the stress, it Is not
Christian to push out or peiuade the
youth to go into ell. The Lord's.
pra)er, 'lend us not into temptation,' Is
the true Idea. The poclal, moral, ph) s
lcal h)glenle is such that for every
fifteen minutes after ten o'clock at
night spent on tln street the hazard
to the boy's molality and honor is
multiplied in geometric pioportlon.
THE CURFKW.
"I am not sure but 1 am an advo
cate for the curfew ordinance in Scran
ton. In Minnesota, where the 9 o'clock
bell summons those under 15 to go
homo or to jail, the advantages have
been emphatic. It is a sad confession
on our civilization when we are in
competent to prevent our stieets fioin
being as pestilential as a pest house.
"Patents who have not s-Mength or
sense enough to protect their boys
from the stieets should be made to pay
the fine and go to Jail To ha e munic
ipal ordinances take the place of
home discipline Is to lllustiate our
moral deteiloiatlon: but take the boy
any way olf the stieets, save him from
the emissaries, of destiuctlon The re
forming agents after he has been
spoiled are not ery successful Statis
tics prop that In no large mensuie
are the boys leclalmed A gieat au
thority bus said 'The House of Cor
ree tlon is the road to Hell.'
"Judge Andtcws. the eminent lurist
of New York, fujs It is the portal to
the infernal, nnd that the reform
school Is a kindeigatten of cilme. A
president of a great college sns that
of 6,000 boys In nemly eveiy Instance
their whole career was detei mined
while studentr.
"Perhaps you never looked Into n sa
loon to see who was going In, oi at
the nnuiement hall, vvheie, If the nn
few bell should ling. It would send
most of the patmns hutrylng home.
Tho condition Is n bad In Scranton
as in larger cities. In the lnst twenty
four bouts In the United States 200 wn
young mm hao stood at the bar and
have diunk of tho cup of destruction.
ANTHONY COMSTOCK'S WORK.
"The ugents of lust are after thp
boys on the boards of the fences nnd
of the theateis. The news stands,
whero pictures of naked women are
flaunted. Obscene hooks aie sold at

protest the skepticism of the day cries
'You Interfete with petsonal liberty
and destiov the freedom of the nieis.'
Anthony Comstock will )et be ct owned

LETTERS TROM THE PEOPLE.
Under this heading short lottcrs of In
terest will bo published when accompa
nied, for publication, by the writer's
name. Tho Tribune will not be held re
upouslble for opinions hero expressed.
Cards in the Home.
Editor of Tho Tribune:
Sir: Tho question of pla)lng cards for
amusement in the homo lias bten ells
cussed for several )tars. No apparent
results or benefits have been derived
from thoso discussions until the lest few'
)cars. Formerly people regatded curd
plu)lng ns a necessity. Father and moth
ers would argue that their sons nnd
daughters must bo kept at home evenings
In some way, and It may be truthfully
said thnt they found no Indoor amuse
mint that would attract the young peo
ple Ilka a social game of cards. In Its
attiactlveness lies tho great danger.
Many yong men have lc.uned in their
homes to lovo a game which hns after
wards caused their ruin Theie are many
young men who arc strong enough to
withstand temptations associated with
catd playing but one never knows who
It Is tli.it may be ushered Into a ganitilei'ii
life while spending his evenings about
the card table at his own homo or at tho
homo of a friend. There Is a pecull ir
fascination about tho game. The more
one plays tho more one wants to plav
Once under its deiidly Influence It is hatd
to bieak away until too late, man) times,
to save one's manhood and character
Mr. Editor, permit mo to state u tew
reasons why I believe thnt card piaing
even for amusement Is dangerous I will
not speak so much fiom the standpoint
of an olllcer In the Volunteer movem nt
as from the standpoint of a pelsunul e
peilence which Is tho best school for proof
of God's word when It says., "Be not de
ceived God Is not mocked for wliatsoevera
man soweth that shall he also reap " And
from that reaping from tho results of tint
sowing I say that card pla)lng Is a dan
gerous and dcstrtictlvo amusement. The
Rev. Sam Jones has truthfullv said, "So.v
cards and reap gamblers." Now for soma
reasons why card pla)lug Is wrong-
I'll st It Is not the UBt game of cards
thatmnkesthe gambler, but the llrst ganu
ot cards ho plays. Tho most iiivuteritu
gambler who la dead to all moi.il consid
erations and human feeling", whoc
swindling operations are cairled em upon
a gigantic scale commenced his cureer
bv pla)lng . social game of eaids with
his frlonds, then a game for u small
amount of monuv JtiRt to give Internet to
thei gimp, lie perhaps laughed ut the.
Idea that h should ever play except e.c
cislon.illv for amusement, or to gratify
his associate No man le'aches the low
est depths of 'Vice at .1 jingle step. Ills
progress Is gradual step by step he de
scends; one restraint after another m re
moved: ono moral pilnclple after an
other Is shatteied Tho process ot hard
ening the henrt and blighting tho sensi
bilities goes on from diy to day Con
science Is gradually hushed until the
mind, bereft of any iitue lot to all
honor nnd humanlt) partakes of the na
ture of a. fiend
Second The scilous effects of gambling
are sure to follow fiom "mall beginnings
because the Inherent vital principle f
the system la itself wrong. Gambling is
bisedlipon the unjust principle of taking
tho property of unothei without an equiv
alent being rendered. It starts openly
with this design. It does not pietcnd to
give a Just lemunerntlou for what Is re
celved. "It In lrtually reibber) " 'llio
fact that each part) acts voluntaiilv does
not take away the injustice of the prin
ciple any mors than the crime of a duel
list Is lessened becauso ho goes voluntar.
II) Into the field.
Third I scarcely know of a. vice that
makes so complete a wieck of man's
moral nature, that teirs away so clfcc
tiMlly the restraints of Irtue honoi and
leliglon It disturbs the relations of ihei
principles of riht ana justice to tho peaco
and welfare or the communlt), and wcro
tho examples universally followed, nil
honorable deallrgs would be at nn end.
Mutual confidence would be broken up
and the bonds of society would be soveiea.
I ourth Grmbllng Is Illegal No man
ever gambles but 13 a criminal to tho law
of God anil to the law of the lnnd.
"Poison Is poison, no matter out of what
kind of a cup It Is diunk, and gambling
is gambling whether It be In the home of
vvinlth and cultuie, social club or In tho
saloon.
There aro miny ninre masons for en
deavoring to dlscourige eard pla)lng, but
ll Is useless to enunieiate them here. It
ought onl) to be necc-sniv to call the at
tention of fathers and mothen to a few
of the dangcis that sutrouiid tho cud
table whether It be In the homo or In the
gumbler's den. With these facts staring
