Essay on Gambling.

The following appears in ' Passing Notes' in Satnrday'a Otago Daily * limes s— Mr J F M Fraser's essay oa 1 Gambling/ read before the Presbytia-* i rian Synod, promises to become the text book of the subject. Do yoa want to know how to lay the odds, how to back a horse straight out, how to make a book so skilfully that yoa malt land a certain amount whatever horse wins:—do you desire this wisdom J Then consult the Synod reports To the same authority you may resort with confidence for instruction in the intricacies of Calcutta sweeps, ia the difference between Calcutta sweeps and ordinary sweeps, and also in that refinement of turf gambling known &• backing the doable event, where yoa stand to 'pull off the doable.' In short, of all that a beginner can want to know about betting—whether with a bookie, or in sweeps, or at the lawful to taliaator on the coarse, or with law defying * human totes' in their offices, at street corners, by letter, by telephone—there is nothing that he may not ascertain by reference to the proceedings of Synod. As for the reverend fathers and brethren them* selves, I am ready to make a sporting offer of two to one that some of them, after listening to Mr Fraser's lucid exposition, would have come out better from an examination in laying odds than from onto on the Westminster Confession, Mr .Eraser's object, as he explained, is highly moral. He would" limit all betting tv the totalisator and increase the tax from l_r per cent to 2^» To tbis the Synod, as the manner t of synods is, made answer to the effect that it wonld haze the whole hog or none, Either no reform at all, or reform it altogether, Things would therefore appear to stand much ai they stood before, —with this exception, that the young gamester's vade roecum will henceforth be tbe Proceedings of Synod, 1902.

The Sinful Brother

It was at a certain eh arch meeting and the good bishop was calling for reports, He had a rather stern, sharp manner, which sometimes jarred a little on the nerves of the more timid. By and by he came to Brother 8,, a lay delegate, " Brother B, what is the spiritual condition of your church 1?" demanded the bishop briskly, " I consider it good," said the brother. ♦» What makes you think it is good !" went on the bishop. " Well, the people are religious, That's what makes me think so," •• What do you call religious ? Bo they have family prayer V " Some of them do and seme do not." "Do yon mean to say that a man may be a Ghrist'an and not hold family prayer?" " Yea Bir: I think so." "Do you hold family prayer V* ,eYes sir," returned the brother quietly, " And yet you think a man may be a Christian and not hold family prayer," " I have a brother who is a better man than lam who does not hold family prayer." " What makes you think that he ii a better man than you are ?" " Everybody says so, and I know he is." " Why does nofe you^ brother, iff be is such a good man, hold family prayer ?" thundered the bishop, "He has no family," meekly answer ed the brother.— Harper's Magazine,

MR ERNEST aTcLEMKNT, of the Taili, who is in the employ of the Hutb County Council, relates his most rera*rkahle case as follows:—"To Pro prietor Piantekoa. Sir,—l feel it my duty both to you and also suffering humaniby to make known the benefit 1 have derived from the use of Piantekoa. I have been under treatment fer years for my kidneys, liver and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a floating kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions for treatment, and in fact I have lodine and other bhiugs in bhe house now thab was supplied bo paint my back. In addlbion to the complaint mentioned I used to suffer ab times most excruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Bepide the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medicines In the effort to get relief. I can honestly say thau Flantekoa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any further information will be gladly furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Piantekoa Ointmenb has proved a wonderful friend to me. Aboub six years ago after playing In a football match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. Daring those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yeb connb the number of ointments and the like thab I tried to relieve this berrible complaint. When I used to perspire at my work, the smarting, itching and yeb burning irritation would nearly drive me crazy. I have mm> Planteko^ Ointment . with result. I have nob the slightest trace of the complaint left, and my skin la as clear as thab of a little child. While in a very heated condition I pub on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if thab had anything to do with starting my complaint, bub a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at thab time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs and hands were free. Suffice to say thab whatever way ib csme Piantekoa has cured it completely. It will be seen by my letter thab I have had my share of suffering, and really bhe condition I have been in life was nob worth living.
