Gambling with cards or dice or stocks is all one thing. It's getting money without giving an equivalent for it.
Henry Ward BeecherHe that does not know how wisely to meddle with public affairs in preaching the gospel, does not know how to preach the gospel.
Henry Ward BeecherThere is a dew in one flower and not in another, because one opens in cup and takes it in, while the other closes itself, and the drops run off. God rains His goodness and mercy as widespread as the dew, and if we lack them, it is because we will not open our hearts to receive them.
