About this Item

122p. Original green cloth. dj. 20cm. Jacket lightly soiled and has some edge-wear (including a 3 cm. tear on rear panel). INSCRIBED by Bernard on front endpaper ("New Orleans Louisiana March 23, 1957 to A great American Cecil B. De Mills from Ruth Thompson Bernard"). Cecil B. De Mille bookplate on front pastedown. Although its status as a novel is dubious (pages 106-121 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." Bernard thanks Reverend G. W. McWaters in the Preface for ". helpful criticisms and aid in Bible references." We suspect that is Rev. G. W. Waters of New Orleans who was identified in the July 29, 1939 issue of The Pittsburgh Courier as having been elected as Superintendent of Missions by the recently-concluded Louisiana State Baptist Convention.
