BINGO TONIGHT, IMMACULATE CONCEPTION. . . . BINGO SATURDAY-HOLY NAME. . . . BINGO TOMORROW, SACRED HEARTS OF JESUS & MARY. . . . Scandalous and shocking to many a U. S. moralist has been the spread, under the auspices of churches of Christ, of Bingo, the gambling game in which participants pay 5? or more, stand to win from $1 up by placing counters upon a numbered board, the numbers being drawn, called, and five in a row on the board winning the game.

Almost abruptly terminating his sermon, the oldster fixed his gaze upon a tall, younger man sitting at a table in the centre aisle. "My son!" said he, "my father used to say to me again and again, 'No man has ever been blessed throughout life as I have been...
...Furnace, Cleansing Fire. Finally they beheld a 14-scene pageant, "March of the Monarchs," made up like the graduation service by Sister Aimee, in which accordion, saxophone and bell music was interspersed with appearances of Pharaoh, Herod, Attila, Napoleon, Edward VIII, Darwin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Uncle Sam and Jesus Christ, the latter arriving before the massed cast in a turbulent burst of sound and color to demonstrate His superiority to the other rulers and to inform the audience that He would return again...
