Dr. Strange Preaches
Sermon at St.
Paul's.
Strong
IS EQUIVALENT TO GAMBLING
Habit Widely Indulged in Among
Women Is Condemned by
the Rector.
Rev. Dr. Robert Strange preached a
sermon at St. Paul's Sunday morning in
v/hich ho dwelt In strong and positive
terma upon tho evils of gambling, under
which head ho classified the widely In?
dulged habit amona women, of playing
cards for prizes, largo or smnll. Tho
utterances of tho distinguished 4-octor
upon thl3 point wero very clear-cut. He
said In part:
"1 havo nothing to say against play?
ing cards for tho pleasuro and tho recrea?
tion of the game. It Is an Innocent
pleasure and a profitable recreation. But
when we play cards for money, tor
property or for any other artlclo of
value, wo are gambling, and wo are
then sinning against God and man. YOu
can draw tho line botween playing cards
and gambling with cards; but you can?
not distinguish In principle between play?
ing cards for money and playing cards
for prizes, calling one gambling and tho
other Innocent pleasure.
"How can .v6u distinguish in principle
between playing cards for five dollars or
ten dollars or a hundred dollars and play?
ing cards for a vase, a picture or a horse?
But it Is such a little sin, you say. Sin
Is sin, whether little or large, and no
Christian woman ought to commit de
l.toerately a little sin. But It Is so
narrow and puritanic to preach about
such little things as playing cards for
nj*lZ63
If avoiding sin Is narrow, we must be
brave enough to be narrow, It is not
puritanic; it Is Christ-like to stop at sin,
however small.
"My chief reason for being so firmly
opposed to ChrlsUan women's playing
cards for prizes 13 because It Is a lower?
ing of standards, when they ought to be
at their very highest. It Is allowing the
gambling spirit to creep into our homes
and to taint the pure, sweet air that Is
our most elevating tonic. ? it Is taking the
blu6h off the honesty and the refinement
of our mothers and sisters. It is stripping
them of the. Influence, which is such a
strong breakwater against the tempta?
tions which so bear on us men. We look
at them as our examples In those high,
pure, true things, which are the crown
of our Christian civlllzaUon; and, when
they lower their standard, we men stum?
ble and tall.
"I tell you, Christian wives, mothers and
sisters, when you gamble at home, sur?
rounded by soft rugs, Unted walls and
charming pictures, sipping fragrant tea
from delicate china, what can you say
with affect to your husbands, sons and
brothers, gambling in the club, In the
saloons or In those deeper dens of Iniquity
which Infest our city? '
"I appeal to j'ou Southern women tor
the purity and the refinement, for the
h'gh ideas and high soul, which haB ever
been our proud boost for our Southern
women. Oh! noblesse oblige! I appeal to
you mothers, sisters, 7 wives, for your
sons, brothers,'* husband*'--whose hearts
aro open only to you- for sweet counsol
and high Influence- Oh! stand up'for the
home, the citadel of our Anglo-Saxon
civilization! I appeal to you Christian
women," by the name you confessed In
confirmuUon. by tho cross marked on
your forehead in baptism. Oh! be willing
to stop and suffer, be willing to face
surer and strong, If so be, ye are true to
yourself, loving'to your fellows, loyal to
your God."

lay-out. Ov.ar and over again ho was
asked about tho proposed Virginia bulld
and and the greatest solicitude was ex?
pressed by the Mlssourlans and others
as to the success of tho effort being
mad* In Virginia to reproduce the homo
of Jefferson on the grounds. After he
had seen the array of handsome and cred?
itable Stato buildings up, or going up, on
the "plateau of States." the Governor
had his State, pride thoroughly aroused
on the subject, and said such would be
his mortification If Virginia does not
have a building, and that the represen?
tation of Montlcello, that ha feels like
saying at all hazards, let it be done.
