8tat strof4 to the low Annatrtet gambler;
as whea Bulkx-k, the cashier of tha Control
Railroad ot Georgia, WM found to havo
toleu 108,000 for the purpose ot carrying
on gambling practice, as when young
man In ono of the savings banks of Brook
lyn many years ago was found to havo
stolen 940,000 to carry on gaming practice;
as when a man connected with a Wall street
Insurance company was found to have
stolen 108,000 to carry on hi gaming prao
ticea. But that U exceptional.
Generally the money leaks silently from
tho merchant' till into the gamester's wal
let. I believe that one ot the main pipes
leading to this aewer of Iniquity ia the ex
citement of business life. Is it not sig
nificant fact that the majority of the day
gambling houses in New York aro in prox
imity to Wall street? Men go into the ex
citement ot stock gambling, and from that
they plunge into the gambling houses, as,
when men are intoxicated, they go into
liquor saloon to get more drink. The agi
tation that Is witnessed in the stock market
when the chair announced tha word
"Northwestern," or "Fort Wayne," or
"Rock Island," or "New York Central,"
and the rat, tat, tat, of the auctioneer's
hammer, and the excitement of making
"corners," and getting up "pools," and
"carry Ing stock," and a"break" from eighty
to seventy, and the excitement ot rushing
nround in curbstone brokerage, and the
sudden cries of "Huyer three!" Buyer
ten!" Take em!" "How many?" and the
making or losing of (10.000 by one opera
tion, uullts a man to go home, and so he
goes up the flight of stairs, amid business
offices, to the darkly curtained, wooden
shuttered room, gayly furnished Insido,
and takes his place at the roulette or the
faro table. But I cannot tell all the pro
cess by which men get Into this evil. A
man went to New York. He was a Western
merouunt. He went Into a gaming
houso on Park place. Bofore morning he
hnd lost all his money save $1. and he
moved around about with that dollar In his
hand, and after awhile, caught stiii moro
Iiowerfully under the internal infatuation,
io came up aud put down the dollar nnd
cried out until they heard him through the
saloon, "One thousand miles from home,
und my Inst dollar on tho gaming table."
Mnny years ago for sormoulc purposes
and in compnny with the chief of police of
New York I visited ono of the most brilliant
gambling houses in thnt city. It was
night, and as wo came up In front all
seemed dark. The blinds were down, the
door was guarded, but after a whispering
of the officer with the guard at tho door we
were admitted into the hull, nnd thence into
the parlors, around ono table finding night
or ton men In mldlifo, well dressed all the
work going on In silence, save the noise of
tho rattling "chips" on tho gaming table
In one parlor nnd the revolving bull of the
roulotte table In tho other parlor. Home of
these mon, we were told, had served terms
In prison, some were shipwrecked bankers
and brokers and money dealers, nnd some
were going their llrst "rounds of vice but
nil Intent uton the table, as largo or small
fortunes moved up nnd down before them.
Oh, there was something awfully solemn iu
tho silence the intonsu gaze, the sup
pressed emotions of the players. No ono
looked up. They all had money in the
rapids, nnd I Inive uo doubt some saw,
ns they sat there, horses and car
riages, and houses nnd lands,
nnd homo nud family rusliing
down Into the vortex. A man's life would
not have been worth a farthing In that pres
ence hud lie not been accompanied by the
police if ho had been supposed to bo on a
Christian errand of observation. Homo of
theso men went by private key, some wont
in by careful Introduction, somo wero
taki u in by the patrons of tho establish
ment. The ofllcer of tho law told mo,
"None gets iu here except by police man
date or by some letter of a patron." While
we wore there a young man came in, put
his monny down on the roulotte table nnd
lost; put more money down on tho roulette
table and lost; put more money down on
the roulotte table and lost; then feeling in
his pockets for more money. Mailing none,
in severe silence ho turned his back upon
the soono nnd passed out. While we stood
there men lost their propertynnd lost their
souls. Oh, mcrclloss place! Not once In
all the history ot that gaming house lias
thoro been one word of sympathy uttered
for tho losers at tho game.
Sometimes these gift enterprises nre car
ried ou in the namo of charity, nnd some of
you remember at the close of our olvll war
how many gift enterprises wero on foot,
the proceeds to go to the orphans and
widows of the soldiers and sailors. What
did the men who had charge of those gift
enterprises enro for the orphans and
widows? Why, they would have allowed
them to freeze to death upon their steps.
I have no faith in a charity which for the
sake of relieving prosout suffering opens a
gaping jaw that lias swallowed down so
much of tho virtue and good principle ot
the community. Young man, have nothing
to do with theso things. They only sharpen
your nppotite for games of cliance. Do one
of two things bo honest or die,
I hnvo accomplished my object If I put
you on tho lookout. It is a grunt deal
easier to fall thnu it is to get up again.
The trouble Is that wheu men begin to go
nstrny from the path of duty they are apt
to say: "There's no use of my trying to got
back. I've sacrificed my respectability, I
can't return." And tliey go ou until they
are utterly destroyed. I toll you, my
friends, that (iod this moment, by His
Holy Spirit, can change your entire nature
so that you will be a different man In a
minute. Your great want what is itV
More salary? Higher social position? No,
no. I will toll you the great want of every
man if lie bus not already obtained it.
It is tho grace of God. Are thcro uuy who
have fallen victims to the sin that I have
been reprehending.' You are In a prison.
You rush against the wall of this prison
and try to get out and you fall, and you
turn nround and dnsh against the other
wall until there Is blood on the grates aud
blood on your soul. You will never get
out in this way. Thoro Is only ono way of
getting out. There Is a key that can un
lock that prison house. It is the key of
the house of David. It is tho key that
Christ wears nt Ills girdle. If you will
allow him to put that key to tho lock, th"
bolt will shoot back, and the door will
swing opon, nud yon will bo u froo man in
Christ Jesus. Oh, prodigal, what u busi
ness this Is for you, feeding swine, when
your father stands iu the front door, strain
ing his eyesight to catch the llrst glimpse
of your return, nnd the eait Is ns fat as it
will be, and the harps of heaven aro all
strung, and the feet free.
There are converted gamblers In heaven.
The light of eternity Unshod upon the green
baize ol 'their billiard saloon. In tho laver
of God's forgiveness they washed olTnll
their sins. They quit trying for earthly
stakes. They-triod for heuven nud won it.
There stretches a hand from heaven toward
the bond of the worst offender. It Is a
hand, not clinched as it to smite, but
outspread ns if to drop R beuediutlon.
Other sens have a shore and may bo
fathomed, but the son of God's love
eternity lias no plummet to strike the
bottom, nnd immensity no ironbound
shore to confine It. Its tides aro lifted
by the heart of Infinite compassion. Its
waves nre the hosnnnns ot the redeemed.
The argosies that sail on It drop anchor
at last amid the thundering salvo ot eter
nal victory. But nlns for that man who
sits down to the final game ot lite nnd puts
his Immortal soul on the ace, while tho
angelsotUod keep the tally board, and af
ter kings nnd queens, and knaves, aud
spados aro "shu filed" and "cut," and the
game Is ended, hovering and impending
worlds discover that he bus lost It, tho faro

Losspa Text: "Working and Waiting for
Christ." I Theas. 9-18; v., I--,
Ooldeo Tcxtt John xlv 3 - Com
mentary by Rov. Dr. D. M. Stearns.
0. "But aa touching brotherly love, yu
need not that I write unto you, for ye vour
iel ves are taught of Ood to love one another."
The epistle is addressed to the church ol
tha Theasaloniaus In God the Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ, those who, having
heard tha gospel, received the word and
turned from their idols unto God, to serve
the living and true Ood and to wait for His
Hon from heaven, even Jesus who delivered
them from the wrath to come (chapter 1., 1,
6, 6, 9, 101. He exhorts them to walk
worthy of Ood, who has called them to His
kingdom and glory, and to seek in all
things to please God and not man (chapter
II. . 6; iv., 1).
10. "And Indeed ye do it toward all tha
brethen which are in all Macedonia. But
wo beseech you, brethren, that ye Increase
more and more." There Is always room
tor increase in love nnd In all the fruit ot
tho (Spirit, for we can never manifest the
fruit as fully as Christ did, and yet He is
our only example. He is ever seeking much
more fruit, for no branch is bearing all that
it might.
11. "And that ye study to be quiet, and
to do your own business, and to work with
your own hands as we commanded you."
In a later epistle he said thnt if any would
not work neither should they eat (II Tliess.
III. , 10). The word here translated "study"
(philotlmeomal) is used only three times.
The othor two plnccs nre Bom. xv., 20; II
Cor. v., 9. The late Dr. A. J. Gordon loved
to call attention to the truth thnt the word
Ignitlcs "to be ambitious," or to us one's
utmost endeavor to accomplish a thing, and
that in these three passages we have a law
ful threofold ambition for every believer
viz., to mind one's own business, be well
pleasing to Ood, and preach the gospel
If here Christ has not yet been named.
12. "That ye may walk honestly to
ward them that aro without, and tlint yo
may have lack of nothing." Wenre to pro
vide things honest in tho sight ot nil mon
(Kom. xii., 17), but we should take special
pains to be in every sense upright before
unbeliovors. They will not read tho lllblo,
but they will anil do rend people, nnd they
ought to bo able to rend something ot the
Bible in tho life of every Christian. One
has said that a Christian ought to be a large
prlut, clear typo Bible that any one can
read easily. Wuch upright people caiwot
lack any good (l's. lxxxiv., 11).
UI. "But I would not huvo you to he Igno
rant, brethren, oonccrning them which are
asleep, that yo sorrow not even ns others
which have no hope." While teaching thein
how to livo on tho earth as Christians
the fact was ever before them that some
wero pnsslng away. Death was doing his
eruol work. And what about those who
dli( In the Lord? While Itov. xlv., 13, has
special reference to those who in tho days
of the manifestation ot satan's greatest
power will rather die than deny Christ, yet
it Is always true, "Blessed are the dead who
die In the Lord." There is the gain, aud
the very far better (I'lill. I., 21. 83).
14. "For if we believe that Jesus died nnd
rose ngain. even so them also which sleep
In Jesus will God bring with Him." To die
Is gain, nnd to bo with Christ is far better.
Hut that is not the whole ot !t, for after tho
resurrection ot tho righteous all tho saints
nre coming back with Him when he comes
to judgo the Nations, save Israel aud begin
His reign on enrth.
15. "For this wo say nnto you by the
word of the Lord that we which nre alive
nud remain unto the coming of the Lord
shall not prevent them which are asleep."
The li. V. says In thu last clause ot this
verse, "Shall in nowise proeedo them that
aro fallen nslcop." ltotherham says that
wo shnll "In nowise get before" them
which are fallen nslcop. It would seem that
the Christians thought that their friends
who had died had iost somewhat by not bo.
Ing allowed to remain until tha Lord should
oome, but tho assertion here Is very em
phatic that those who are alive ou the
earth when Christ shall come shall have
no advantage over those who havo died iu
Christ, nnd who have been some time no
tent from tho body and present with the
Lord.
18. "For tho Lord Himself shnll descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the nrchangel and with the trump ot
God, nnd the (lead iu Christ shnll rise first."
As nt the first coming of Christ, In humilia
tion, to sutler nnd die nud rlso from tho
iload, there wero mauy ovents covering
many years, at least thirtv-three, so at His
second coming to reign there will bo mnny
events covorlug many years. Tho coming
with Him of verso 14 aud chapter III., l;j,
and llov. xlx., ll-Ki, is the last stage of His
second coming nud must be preceded by
tho events of verses 10, 17. Ho cannot
bring us with Him until lie gets us all with
III in.
17. "Then wo which aro alive nnd re
main shall bo cnught up together with
them in tho clouds to meet tho Lord iu the
nir, and so shnll we ever be with the Lord."
I like to fancy this ns actually occurring,
nud often sny to tuy congregations, "Let
us now imagine it taking place." The
Lord Himself, not an angel, nor the Holy
Hpirlt, but this same Jesus (Acts I., 11),
ehnll leave the right hand of thu Father
and descend to the nlr. I.lko a mighty
magnet lie will attract to Himself all the
members of His body. The dead in Christ
shall rlso. They who have been wth Him
nbseut from tho body shall rcinhabit their
bodies risen from the grave and made llko
unto His glorious body.
1H. " Whorofore comfort one another with
theso words." I think there Is no other
verse just llko this in tho Ilib!o. In Isa.
xl., I, 2, tho prophet Is told to comfort
Jerusalem nnd Israel, nnd It is in connec
tion with the coming of tho Lord. II Cor.
I., 8, 4, the God of ull comfort comforts us
that we may comfort others with our com
fort, whatever It Is. But hero are the very
words with which wo nro to comfort those
who nre bereavod. Wo nro not to say, llko
David, I shall go to them, but they cunnot
como to me. On tho contrary, we nro to
think of the possibility of their buin with
us iu their resurrection bodies any mo
ment, and we instantly changed und
caught away with them to meet nnd bo
forever with tho Lord (v., 1, 2). "But of
tho times und tho seasons, brethren, ye
have no need that I write unto you, for
yourselves know perfectly that the day ot
the Lord so oomoth as a thief in tha
night." Ho now passes to nnother topic,
or rather another phasu of our Lord's
second coming. Wa do not know of any
event that must necessarily intervene be
tween the present moment and the taking
away of tho church. But boforo the com
ing.ot Christ with His saints there must set
in more fully tho great apostasy, and ba
manifested the man of sin referred to In

Trains Guarded Against Tramps.
All through trains traveling ovor the

grocery for a club room tn the evening
and on atoruiy days bud just been dls
cussto a fox bunt, nbout -which one
of their number bod read aloud, wbon
the couvemaUoi: naturally took a rem
iniscent turn.
"Nothing cuter or more conning In
the world than a fox," said Goggs, by
way of introduction. "I remember one
night trhen I was a boy that we heard
a jrrwit tw.n among the dogs that were
chalTied op. It took us about half an
hour to got dressed and armed to sally
forth for the purpose of Investigating.
Not discovering anything, we loosened
the dogs, aud they darted off ou a
trail, yelping ns they went. We dldn'i
know whether It was man or varmint,
but rftor ;t long run the dogs brought
up at the hen house and tried to teat
It down. Well sir, nu old fox hod
deliberately showed himself to the
dogs, eo as to excite them, in tide that
run while we were getting ready foi
trouble and, circling round, was rob
bing the roost while the dogs were off
the promises."
"I wnlk.xl up one moonlight night,"
volunteered the muu on the wood box,
"nnd seen a fox under an apple tree
where n fnt pullet was roosting. 1
knew tho thfl-f couldn't climb, so I jusl
stood nt the wludow laughing. The
fox barkrd to wnke the chicken, ami
then lesau circling around the tree,
slow at flrst, but solutf faster ami
fnstt-r. Of course the terrltled pullet
followed hint with her eye nud got
so dizzy that she fell out of tho tree."
"I ee souu'th'.n' like thnt once," said
the lank liuHvitluiil ou a paint keg.
"only thnt the chicken I wn.s wntchlu'
wrunsf Its own neck, 'cause tho fos
was go In' so durned fast."

Steering a Steamship.
Oustav Koblie has an article entitled
"Steering Without a Compass" In tlw
Bt. Nicholas. Mr. Kobbc says:
The degree of "A. H." Is not com.
fined to college graduates. Aboard
ship It means "able-bodied" seaman.
Kvery nautical A. H. knows how to
"liox the compass" and how to atccr by
It; but you will be surprised to learn
thnt no good helmsman will steer by a
compass uulos all other tilings fall
him. Among those "other things" ure
the horizon, the wind, the wake of tho
ship, the stars the souivdlugs. und tho
line of ihe surf when running along
the ooatt. Aiul so the able-bodied sen
man, when a greenhorn takes bin trick
nt the wheel, hands over the helm to
him w;th this jajutloti: "Keen your
hend out of the brarmde!"
I am speaking of asiUing-vesscR
Steamers, especially those that travel
on regular routes, steer by eompn.s.
They "run their courses" from point to
point from light-house to light-house,
llght-sh'.p, day-mark, buoy, bell or fog
whistle. In thick weather they know,
taking wind and tide Into considera
tion, how long they should btatwl on
each course, nud try never to pass the

Ever tinea spinning waa a type ot woman,
ly industry, from ax to aye It baa been
expected that beautiful apparel should
riot he women. To keep dainty belongings
in good order it to necessary to have them
f.ronorly laundered. This to especially true
n the laundering ot pretty summer gowns,
which is now quite a tine art. To do the
work properly, Ull a tub two-thirds full of
warm water, dissolve the fourth ot a cake
ot Ivory Boap i which will not fade the most
delioate colors), add it to the water; wash
the articles through It, rinse llrst in clear
and then in blue water; wring, dip in thin
starch, shake out and hang on the line In
the shade. When dry, sprinkle and iron,
(towns thus laundered will retain their
freshness the entire season.

Curious Dinner at Jericho.
An American traveling In Jerusalem
describes un Interesting dtnuer he ate
recently at a hotel In Jericho. "We sat
ou the porch of the hotel nt Jericho,"
he wrote, "ufter a dinner nt which wa
were served with butter from Norway,
cheese from Switzerland, marmalade
from London, wine from Jerusalem di
luted with water from the well of Ell
sha, raisins from Itiunoth Ollead, oran
ges from Jericho (iu no renpeet Inferior
to those from Jaffa or the Indian river,
Florida), smoking Turkish tobuceo,
which, like the Turkish empire, la In
ferior to its rcpututlou, nnd a cup of
coffee from the corner grocery of Jo-dcho."
Detecting locbergi.
One way In which the crew of an
ocean steamer detect tlie fact that they
ir nearlns tlie neighborhood of Ice
bcrirs Is by observing the notion of the
tirom'llor. The water surrounding the
vicinity of Icebergs Is much colder than
oulinary fur n considerable distance
around, and when the vessel ent'TS
water of such a reduced temperature
the propeller runs faster. When this
notion Is perceptibly Increased without
the steam power being augmentixl,
word Is sent up fram thocngl!io room
to the ollieer ou tho bridge, and a c'wse
lookout is kept.
