THE CROOK WHO COULDNT
(From Sword of fhe Lord)
A twenty-one-year-old resident
of Jack9boro, Texas, tried to hold
up a branch of the National Bank
of Detroit a short time ago. He
walked into the bank, handed a
teller, Mrs. Alma J. Hadley, a
note threatening her life unless
she gave him money. Since she
was counting twenty dollar bills,
she shoved a batch of them total
ig $1,000 through the window to
him.
However, as he started to pick
up the money, their eyes met
through the cage and the robber,
Thomas E. Davis, was smitten
with such conviction in his con
science that he threw his loot on
the floor, crying, “I can’t do it!
I can’t do it!’ He ran out of the
bank in despair only to be appre
hended by the police a couple of
blocks away. When they booked
him on a charge of attempted bank
robbery, he told authorities he
wanted the money to pay college
bills and take his wife on a trip
to his native Texas.
If it is possible for the con
demning eyes of a bank teller
to produce such anguish in the
soul of a transgressor, can you
visualize what it will be like when
lost sinners face, an angry God?
About the Lord Jesus Christ, Rev
elation 1:14 tells us His eyes are
“as a flame of fire.” It is beyond
a mere mortal’s power to imagine
' what the smiting of conscience
will be like when the lost look!
into those eyes like flames of
fire and are compelled to give an
account of their sin and their re
jection of Him as their personal
Savior. How much better, safer,
matter of sin taken care of now j
simpler and surer to have the i
matter of sin taken care of now
by a faith in Christ, rather than i
face Him at the judgment with j
the sins still to be settled.

Bingo Nears
Legal Status
In New York
By A Staff Correspondent of
The Christian Science Monitor
NEW YORK, UP) —Bingo has
cleared all but one barrier in its
slow but virtually certain move
toward becoming legal in this
city.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner on
August 7 put his name under the
New York City Council bill to
legalize bingo for religious and
benevolent purposes. The voters
will have their say on it in the
general election Nov. 4.
There is little doubt they will
ratify it. Last year, New Yorkers
voted 779,788 to 340,742 in favor
of an amendment to the state
Constitution which provided the
basis for local options on bingo.
As elsewhere, the principal
pressure for legalizing the game
comes from the Roman Catholic
Church and from some veterans
and fraternal organizations which
rely on bingo for fund raising.
Masons Spurn Bingo
By ho means do all fraternal
organizations use bingo. The New
York Grand Lodge of Masons, for
insane, has not endorsed the game
for use by its lodges.
Opposition to the game has faded
in the face of the strong popular
vote. Ultimate voter approval is
considered so certain tnat neither
proponents nor opponents of the
bill took the trouble to appear at
the public hearing the mayor
held before signing the bill.
The bill would permit bingo
games on Sundays after 6 p.m. It
would bar attendance by children j
under 18 years. Binco eames
would be subject to licensing by |
the city under the overall control j
and regulation of the State Lot- j
tery Control Commission.
The law and the regulatoryj
machinery, according to propon
ents of bingo, are expected to pre
vent many of the irregularities
and the racketeering that have
beset bingo.
