EVIDENCES multiply that card playing in the home is a dangerous form of amusement. It creates a passionate fondness for gambling. The game in all its elements of exciting chance and in its cultivation of skill is exactly the same in the home that it is in the saloon or gambling den. The young man who can beat the home folks starts out with great confidence in himself as a card player. His ambition is to find other fields of conquest. In those other fields he finds an additional incentive in the stakes put up. He leaves home with all conscientious and moral opposition in his mind against the game thoroughly obliterated. Only a day or two ago there came to our notice the case of a lad, whose mother had taught him to play cards in their home. A little further along she allowed him to invite some of his associates into the home to join him in the game. By chance she came into the room or overheard them, and found to her amazement that they were backing their skill with money. Only then did she realize that she had taught her boy how to gamble, and had fed in him the passion which now she so much deplored.—Central Baptist.
