known ymca secretary the english say draughts the canadian checkers the game of checkers is one of the best illustrations of the game of life that we are all playing note the parrallels t am not a world beater but i like to play a game of checkers i am not a plaster saint but i enjoy christian life and service the secret of success in checkers is give one and take two in entering the christian life ones receives much more than one gives up but the giving up comes first i one can say of checkers as of few games it is above board and on the square so should we be both indi vidually and nationally it is n good game for cold weather there is so much moving and jumping in it warmth in the christian life is increased by activity in service politically it is socialistic socialists appreciate it because it frequently gives common men an opportunity to jump over kings i verily believe in democracy in both church and state consider this and hnth made us kings and priests unto sgod rev 1 and 4 it is a game of science and skill and for this reason it is very seldom one hears of any gambling in connection with it a good set of brains is essential to success in playing it it develops the power of concentration of ones mentality tills one tiling i do because of this it affords rest and refreshment by way of change to the weary brains of business and professional men while engaged in the game all troublesare necessarily forgotten thou shall keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee in the game of checkers there is a certain etiquette to be observed every courtesy should e shvwrn your opponent play the touch move clapping checkers together tapping feet on floor or bantering 1 positively had form in the came of life courtesy and good manners mark the good player he may be poor but he is a gentleman the great guide book elves instructions re the treatnifeutof other players in lifes guie whatsoever ye would th3t men should do unto you do yren so to them it is said that there are sixtytwo different openings in the game ofj checkers with hundreds of varia tions and a good player should know a letst onethird of that num- j ber but he must know one game thoroughly in the game of life there is much to know and learn bit the educated man will know one thing thorough ly also something about a great many other things study to show thyself approved unto cod the checker game is open to the world any man can play black white red or yellow nationality is no barrier in the game of life rain falls upon the just as well as the unjust god is not a respector of persons whosoever will may come in the game of checkers as in the game of life all men are making for the king row i have been en gaged ii personal eyengelism among men for a quaiter of a century and i have never met a man to my know ledge who did not expect to get to heaven at the end of the game of life but i have met many that were making some very bad moves in the game of checkers as in the tame of life a bad move early in the ran handicaps the player right through to the finish and frequently means ultimate loss i have met many young men who apparently did not reaze this and while sowing heir wild oats still were expect ing sometime later to turn over a nw leaf and finally get into the king row failing to realize the un deniable and important truth that the bird with the broken pinion never soared so high again we would not place limits to the extent or power of gods grace but we would say to the players of checkers and of lifes game take no chances play carefully and avoid all possible mistakes the spirit or sacrifice enters into the checker game as in the game of life it frequently is necessary for a player to give away a man or men in order to secure stronger position selfishness manifested in an endea vor to save ones men regardless of position means utter ruin in the game of life the same is true it is necessary to sacrifice here for position hereafter the selfish game in life is not a winner but a sure loss the spirit of sacrifice is the spirit of the cross and the only spirit that will be recognized at the pearly gates there is a guide book to the game of checkers and a guide book to the game of life it is not necessary for the players of either game to groupe their way along in the darkness learning by bitter experience study the book learn the rules take heed to danger signals and thus avoid dis aster there are many independent players who scout the idea of play by the book but all are forced to admit that other things being equal the book player has the advantage and in the same of checkers as well as in the game of life the man who goes closest by the teachings of the book olays lie best game an old friend of mine mr thomas curtis one ct canadas greatest checker players once taught me how- to number the blocks on the checker board so that i might know at any step of the game whether i had the move on my opponent or whether he iiad tile move on me as well as how- to secure it and hold it u most valu able secret in successful checker play ing reminding us of the rayer of the psalmist lord teach us to num ber our days that we may apply out- hearts unto wisdom many times to the casual onlooker the player without the move seems to be playing just as good a game as the player with the move the same number of men the positions much the same but in the last analysis the man witli the move wins then from the beaten cheoker player who dis regarded this secret the doleful wail is often heard ah if i only had another move but he had not and lost the game his was like an other wail the harvest is past the summer is ended and we are not saved in the game of life the player who holds the winning move is undoubt edly the christian man he may not look different to the nonchris tian iiiau his position in life may be no better to outward appearance there may be no difference recogniz able but at the end of the game the christian man enters the king row a winner and his advantage is appar ent to all do not ibe discouraged checker players because you made a mistake but try and make up for it by closer attention to the game and the guide book in the game of life the blessed man is not the man who never sinned but he whose trans gression is forgiven whose sin is covered many a game of checkers is lost because of carelessness through over confidence and conceit a man up early in the game does not necess- arilyinean final victory play steady the game is not lost until it is won in playing a winning game of life humility sincerity and faithfulness are essential qualities every man i hat enters the king row is crowned and can go in and out with greatly increased power and in the game of life we are re minded of the words of st paul henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the lord the righteous judge shall give mo at that day and not to me only but unto all them also that love his appearing player its your move play the game have your boys and girls learn to lay checkers ns it develops the mind by making them thiiik w h shaws hess stock
