Although its status as a novel is dubious (pages 106-121 do contain "A Love Story" which is a religious anti-gambling tale), this book was Listed in Whiteman's "A Century of Fiction by American Negroes 1853-1952." A query on the jacket asks "Shall We Become a Nation of Petty Gamblers?" The author presents an anti-gambling argument, based in part on biblical sources and including a prayer at the end of each chapter. Chapter XIX is titled "How to Break the Lottery Habit."
