But they» didn’t get very far before an unsavory character who looked like the “after” photo in a Methodist temperance display, and who smelled suspiciously like sterno canned heat, attempted to persuade them to patronize his par ticular gambling booth. The boys walked away from him, but he fol lowed them, despite the fact that I: asked him to leave them alone. I fi nally had to “tell him off” in the lan guage that I never use except when ■l’m preaching a revival in the moun tains. “Rut this isn’t gambling,” be said. “We always give the kids some little prize.” Now I know from some of the excuses people give me for. missing church and Sunday School ] that oreachers are supposed to be lieve just about anything that’s told them, but I’m not so naive as to be taken in by such a flimsy rationaliza jtion as that. Anyone who knows any thing at all about the methods of the professional gambler will recognize at once that these prizes are only a "conie-on” to encourage the kids to l continue until they become hopelessly addicted to the gambling habit.
