Gambling.
L •' Gambling," says the Rev Charles ; Strong, of Melbourne, " begets a ( frivolous, restless spirit, spoils a man for sober work, and temps him to I become a mere blood-ucker— a parasite, living by other people's mistakes, : misfortunes, and bad luck, not by ' his own honest, productive labour, i or outlay of capitalised labour. It " leads the young, and even the old, into temptation • temptation to b stake their honestly-earned, and t perhaps hard-earned, money on the cast of the dice j. to rob their families, t to rob their masters ; temptation i often to frequent low society."
