II. II! fl The Noted Washington Divine's Sunday Discourse. ' An Eloquent Dissertation on the Sta of GamblingAn Insidious Vice "Which . " ambers Ita Victim oy the Thou sands May be Saved by Grace oi God. Text: "Woe unto them that sin, as It were with a cart rope." Isaiah t., 18. There are some Iniquities that only nibble at the heart. After a lifetime of their work the man still stands upright, respected and . honored. These vermin have not strength onoujrh to j?naw through a man's character. But there are other tran&gre&sioa that lift themselves up to gigantic proportions and seize hold of a man and bind him with thongs forever. There are some Iniquities that have such great emphasis of evil that he who commits them may be said to sin as with a cart rope. I suppose you know how they make a great rope. The stuff out of which It is fashioned is nothing but tow which you pull apart without any exertion of your fingers. ThU 1? spun Into threads, any of which you could easily snap, but a groat many of these threads are Ihter wound then you have a rope strong enough to bind an ox or hold a ship In a tern pest. I speak to you of the sin of gambling. A fart rope In strength is that sin, and yet I wish more especially to draw your atten tion to the small threads of influence out of which that mighty iniquity is twisted. This crime Is on the advance, so that It is well not only that fathers and brothers and sons be Interested In such a discussion, but that wives and mothers and sisters and daughters look out lest their present home be HacrifWd or their Intended home be blasted. No man, no woman, can stand aloof from such a subject as this and say, "It-lias no practical bearing upon my life," for there may bo la a short time in your history an experience in which you will llnd that the discussion involved three worlds earth, heaven, hell. There are Kumbifng establishments bythe thousands. 'There are about 5500 professional gamb lers. Out of all the gambling establish incntshow many of them do you suppose profess to be honest? Ten these ten pro fessing to he honest because they are merely the antechamber to those that are acknowl- eilgid fraudulent. There are first-class es tablishments. You step a little way out of Uroadway, New York. You go up the mar ble stairs. You ring the bell. The liveried bervant introduees you. The walls are lav- cinder tinted. The mantels are of Vermont marble The pictures are "Jephthah's daughter" and bore's "Dante" and Virgil's "Fro'jsenl Ttegio.n of Hell," a most appro priate selection, this last, for the place. There H the roulette, table, the finest, cost liest, most exquisite piece of furniturei in the United States. There is the banquet ing room., where, free of charge to jthe guests, you may find the plate and viands and wines nod eignrs sumptuous beyond parallel. --Th"nyou come to the second lass gambling establishment. To it iyou nre Introduced by a card through sime "roper in.'' Haying dntored, you must - either 'gamble or light. Handed cards, dice ' loaded with' quicksilver, joor drinks mixed with more poor drinks will soon help you to get rid of all your money to a tune iu nliort meter with staceato passages. You wan Fed to see. ! You saw. The low villains ofjhat. plaeo 'Watch yoa as you come in. Does not the panther, squat in the grass, know a calf when she sees it? Wrangle not ; for your rights in that place, or your body will be thrown bloody Into the street or dead Into the -river. You go along a little-farther and find the policy establishment.' In that place you bet on ii umbers'. netting on two numbers Is called a "saddle;" betting ou three num bers is called a "gig;" betting on four numbers i-i called a "horse," and there are t housands of our young men leaping into that "saddle" and mounting that "gig" and behind that "horse" riding to perdi tion. There is always one kind of sign on the door, "Exchange," a most 'appropriate -title for the door, for, there iu that room a man exchanges health, peace and heaven for loss of health, loss of home, loss of fam ily, loss or immortal soul. Exchange sure snough and infinite enough. , Now you acknowledge that is a cart rone of evil biit you want to know what are the nniii.Il threads out or whicn it is made. There is in many a disposition, to -hazard.-.They feel a delight in walking nef a precipice because of the sense of danger. There are people who go upon Jungfrau, not for the largeness of the pros pect, but for the feeling that they have of thinking; "What would happen if I should fall off?" . --There are persons who havo their blood filliped and accelerated by skating very near an nirhole. There are men who find a positive delight in driving within two inches of the edge of a bridge. It is this disposition to hazard that finds development in gaming practices. Here are 500. I may stake them. If I stake them, I may lose them, but I may win 5000. Whichever way it turns I have the excitement. Shuffle the cads. Lost! Heart thumps. Head dizzy. At It again just. - to gratify this desire for hazard. Then, there are others who go into this Pin through sheer desire for gain. It is' es pecially so with professional gamblers, i Xhey always keep cool. They never drink ; enough to unbalance their judgment. They do not fceo the dice so much as they see the ! dollar beyond the dice, and for that they j watch as the spider in the web, looking as if dead until the fly passes. Thousands of ; young men in the hope of.gain go into j these practices. They say: "Well, my sal ii ry is not enough to allow this luxary. I ; don't get enough from mv store, office or shop. I I ought to have finer ' apartments. I ought to have better w ines. I ought to have more, richly flavored cigars. I ought j to be able to entertain my friends more ex i pensively. I won t stand this any longer, i i can with one brilliant stroko make a for i tune. Now, here goes, principle or no j principle, heaven or hell. Who cares?" I When a young man makes up his mind to ; Jive beyond his income, satan has bought i him out and out, and it is only a question : of time when the goods are to be delivered. ; The thing is done. You may plant in the 3 way all the batteries of truth and right--i eousness; but man Is bound to go on. When u man makes $1000 a year and spends ; $1200, when a young man makes $1500 and spends 1700, all the harpies of darkness j ry out, "Ha! ha! we have him!" And ! they have. How to sret tho extra $500 or the extra $2000 is the question. He savs: "Hero is my friend who started out the other day with but little money, and In one i night, so great was his luck, he rolled up hundreds and thousands of dollars. If he got it, why not 1? It is such dull work, this adding up of long lines of figures in ; t he-counting house, this pulling down of a j hundred yards of goods and selling a rem nant, this always waiting upon somebody else when I could put $100 on the ace and pick up 1000." ; This sin works very insidiously. Other ins sound the drum, and flaunt the flag j and gather their recruits with wild huzza,' but this marches its procession of pale vic tims in dead of night, in silence, and wheu they drop into the grave there is not so much sound as the click of dice. Oh. how iimuviiuvegne aowa under it: .Look at meu who were once highly 'pros- pereu. xrvr-fcior lureueau 13 lie tea py a .'; tongue of flamethftt.wiU never go out. Iu hheir souls are plungod-the beaks which -will never be lifted. Swing op?n.the door of that man's heart and vou. see a c3rr ,f ad ders wriggling their "indescribable hofTr' until you turn away and hide your face and i ask Cod to help you to forget it. The most of this evil is uuadvertised. The community does not hear of it. Men de- i frnude.l in gambling i establishments are not fools enough to tell of it iOnee in awhile, however, there is an exposure, as when' in Boston the police swooned upon a gaming establishment and found m it the representatives of all classe t citizens, from the first merchants on State street to the low Ann street gambler; as when Bullock, the cashier of the Central fiaiiroad of Oeorgia, was found to have stolen eiOS.000 for the purpose of carrying on gambling' practices, as when a young man in one of the savings banks of Brook lyn many years ago was found to have TlJli0t c"ironBamto? practices; . i . . : r 1 i . i - . ; .... ., ... o,u .-uuuecieu Wn Wall street insurance company vru fmmd t t,.' lpany wus found to have stolen 10s.000 to car. to eary on his gaming prac- nt-es. uut mat is -,.nti.-.nii . GenrfJiy tho money leaks silentlv from -rue merchant's till into the gamester's wal let. I believe that one of the; main pipes leading to this sewer of iniquity is the ex citement of business life. Is it not a sig nificant fact that the majority of the day gambling houses in New York are in prox imity to Wall street? Men go into the ex citement of stock gambling, and from that I they plunge Into the gambling houses, as, when men are intoxicated, they go Into a liquor saloon to get more drink. The agi tation that is witnessed in the stock market when th ehair announced the word "Northwestern," or "Fort Wayne," or "Bock 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 "carrying stock," and a"breakf from eighty to seventy, and the excitement of rushing around in curbstone brokerage, and the sudden cries of "Buyer three!" Buyer ten!" Take em!" "How many?" and the. making or losing of 10,000 by one opera tion, unfits 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 i furnished Inside, 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 merchant. He went into a gaming house on Park place. Before morning he had lost all his money save SI, and he moved around about with that dollar in his hand and After awhile, cautfbt still, more m powerfully under the infernal infatuation, he came up and put down the dollar and cried out until they heard him through the saloon, "One thousand! miles from home, and my last dollar on the gaming table." Many years ago for sermonic purposes and in company with the chief of police of New York I visited one of the most brilliant gambling houses in that city. It was night, and as we came up lit front all seemed dark. The blinds were down, the door was guarded, but after a whispering of the officer with the guard at the door we were admitted into the hall, and thence into the parlors, around one table finding eight or ten men in midlife, well dressed all the work going on In silence,; save the noise of the rattling "chips" on the gaming table in one parlor and the revolving ball of the roulette table in the other parlor. Some of these men, wo were toldj had served terms in prison, some were shipwrecked bankers and brokers and money dealers, and some were going their first rounds of vice but all intent uron the table, as large or small fortunes moved up and down before them. Oh, there was something awfully solemn in the silence the intense gaze, the jsup pressed emotions of the players. No one looked up. ' They all had money in the rapids, and I have no doubt some saw, as' they sat Jjiere, horses and car riages and - houses and lands, and homo and family rushing down into the vortex. A man's lire would not have been worth a farthing in that pres ence had he not been accompanied by the police if he had been supposed to be on. a Christian errand of observation. Some of these men went by private key, some went in by careful introduction, some were taken in by the patrons of the establish ment. The officer -of the law told me, "None gets in here except by police man date or by some letter of a patron." "While we were there a young man came in, put his money down on the roulette table and lost; put more money down on the roulette table and lost; put more money down on the roulette table and lost; then feeling in his pockets for more money, finding none, in severe silence he turned his back upon the scene and passed out. ) While we stood there men lost their property and lost their souls. Oh, merciless place! Not once in all the history of that gaming house has there been one word of sympathy uttered Tor the losers at the game Sir Horace Walpole said that a man dropped dead in one of the clubhouses of London. His body was i carried into the rdubhouso,: and the members of the club began immediately to bet as to whether he was dead or alive, and when it was pro posed to test the matter by bleeding him, it was only hindered bythe suggestion that it would be unfair to some of the players. In these gaming houses of our cities men have their property wrung away from them, and then they go out, some of them to drown t'leir grief in strong drink, some to ply the counterfeiter's pen, and so restore their fortunes, some resort to the suicide's revolver, but all going down, and that work proceeds day by day and night by night. '.'That cart-rope," says .some young man, 'has never been wound around my soul." But have not some threads of that cart rope been twisted? - I arraign before God the gift-enterprises of our cities, which luave a tendency to make this a .nation ol gamblers. What ever you get, young -man, in such a place .thnt. without erivlne n. im-oimi ouloa. lent, is a robbery of your own soul and a robbery of the community. Yet how we are appalled to see men who have failed in other enterprises go into gift concerts, where the chief attraction is not music, but the prizes distributed among the au dience, or to sell books, where the chief attraction is not the book, but the package that goes with the book. Tobacco dealers advertise that on a curtain day they will put money Into their papers, so that the purchaser of this tobacco in Cin cinnati or New York may unexpect edly come upon a magnificent gratuity. Boys hawking through the ears packages containing nobody knows j what, until you open them and find they contain nothing. Christian men with pictures on their wall gotten ill a lottery, and the brain of community- taxed to a And out some new way of getting things without paying for them. Oh,young men, these are threads that make the cart rope, and when a young man con sents to these practices he is being bound hand and foot by a habit which has already destroyed "a gjeat multitude that no man can number." ' f : Sometimes these gift enterprises are car-' ried! on in the name of charity, and some of you remember at the close of our civil war how many gift enterprises were 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 care for the orphans and widowsf Why, they would have allowed them td freeze to death upon their steps. I have ho faith in a charity which for the sake of relieving present suffering opens a gaping jaw that ha3 swallowed down so much of the virtue and good principle of the community. Young man, have nothing to do with these things. They only sharpen your appetite for games of chance. Do one of two things be honest or die. , I have accomplished my object if I put you on 'the lookout. It is a great deal easier to fall than it is to get up again. The trouble is that when men begin to go astray from the path of duty they are apt to say: "There's no use of my trying to get. back. I've sacrificed my respectability, I can't return." And they go on until they are utterly destroyed. I tell you, my friends', that God 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 i3 it? More salary? Higher social position? No, no. I will tell you the great want of every man if he has not already obtained it. It is the grate of God. Are there any 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 vou fail, and you turn around and dash against the other wall until there is blood on the grates and blood on your soul. You I will never get out in this way. There is only one 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 the key that Christ wears at His girdle. If you will allow him to put that key to the lock, the bolt will shoot back, and .the door will swing open, and you will be a free man in Christ Jesus. Oh, prodigal, what a busi ness this is for you, feeding swine, when your father stands in the front door, strain ing his eyesight to catch the first glimpse oryoiT return, and e calf is as fat as it will be, afid the harps of heaven are all strung, and thVIeetree..- ' .
