you the secret language of this
deck. This Is as I told you the
Devil's Bttjlo Do you know thit
when you open a pack of card the
flret card you see i the Joker"
Here It Is. and you sec It has the
picture of two fools on It. The deck
was first made by a court foot to
entertain a crazy king. That Is the
reason there Is a king and queen
In the deck. Thete Is another card
In the dt-ck called the Jack thi 1j
just a short name for Jaekaas. The
reason there arc no more than ten
spots on any curd la that there arc
only tan commandment In Cod'c
Bible and the Devil's bible has
caused men to break them every
one.
You will notice that there arc
only two colors red and black.
Blaok Is the color of death and
mourning. .N'ow look at the suite.
Here Is clubs Now the elub It the
Instrument of the highjacker. This
club is in black signifying death
O how many poor mothers and Ut-
ile innocent children have been
clubbed out of every hope and am-
bition of life by this dirty deck.
Here is the spade That Is also In
black It Is the tool of the grave
digger. With it have been buried
the last hope of many a. life. Ovor
the gambling table many a moth-
er's son has lost his life and gone
to an untimely grave.
"With this upade haa been burled
all that was near and dear to nvtny
.i heart Here Is also thc diamond.
That represents wealth. O. the for-
t'liies that have been squandered
over this instrument of the devil
r.'ot only fortunes but the vary
bread haa been taken front tho
mouths of tittle children and llttt?
bodies) have gone shivering in the
cokl because daddy hod lea rued
cards. Lastly we have hero the
heart It Is red Why a heart and
why red? It la a bleeding heart.
Blood hni boon spllted as a vast
army of men have died at the
mouth of a smoking revolver across
the gambling table with these very
cards In hla hands.
"Another and greatost army of
wives and mothers nnd little chil-
dren have bled their Uvea away
with a broken heart over the dam-
nable deck of cards. 'Can a man
carry fire In his bottom and his
clothes not be burned? Can one go
on hot coals and his feet not bo
burned?' you can't temper with tho
Devil's bible nnd not be hurt.
Following the message a number
came forward to unite with the
church on profession of faith and
by letter Others came to rededi-
cate their lives to the I-ord and HH
service.
