Deck of Cards - Lance James[00:00:00]

During the North African campaign a bunch of soldier boys had[00:00:20]

Been on a long hike and they arrived in a little town called Casino The[00:00:24]

Next morning being Sunday several of the boys went to Church and after the Chaplain had read the prayer [00:00:31]

The text was taken up next Those of the boys who had a prayer book took[00:00:39]

Them out but this one boy had only a deck of cards and so he spread[00:00:44]

Them out The Sergeant saw the cards and said "Soldier put away those[00:00:51]

Cards " After the services the soldier was taken prisoner and[00:00:56]

Brought before the Provost Marshall [00:01:16]

The Marshall said "Sergeant why have you brought this man[00:01:19]

Here " "For playing cards in church Sir " "And what have you to say for[00:01:22]

Yourself son " "Much Sir " replied the soldier The Marshall said "I[00:01:27]

Hope so for if not I shall punish you more than any man was ever[00:01:33]

Punished " The soldier said "Sir I have been on the march for about six[00:01:37]

Days I have neither a Bible nor a prayer book but I hope to satisfy[00:01:46]

You Sir with the purity of my intentions " And with that the boy[00:01:51]

Started his story:[00:01:56]

"You see Sir when I look at the Ace  it reminds me that there[00:01:58]

Is but one God And the Deuce reminds me that the Bible is divided into[00:02:02]

Two parts the Old and the New Testaments When I see the Trey  I think[00:02:06]

Of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost And when I see the Four  I[00:02:12]

Think of the four Evangelists who preached the Gospel; there was Matthew [00:02:19]

Mark Luke and John And when I see the Five  it reminds me of the five[00:02:24]

Wise virgins who trimmed their lamps; there were ten of them: five were[00:02:30]

Wise and were saved five were foolish and were shut out When I see the[00:02:37]

Six  it reminds me that in six days God made this great heaven and[00:02:43]

Earth When I see the Seven  it reminds me that on the seventh day God[00:02:46]

Rested from His great work And when I see the Eight  I think of the[00:02:50]

Eight righteous persons God saved when He destroyed this earth; there was[00:02:57]

Noah his wife their sons and their wives And when I see the Nine  I[00:03:00]

Think of the lepers our Savior cleansed and nine out of the ten didn't[00:03:06]

Even thank Him When I see the Ten  I think of the Ten Commandments God[00:03:11]

Handed down to Moses on a table of stone When I see the King  it[00:03:16]

Reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven God Almighty And when I[00:03:22]

See the Queen  I think of the Blessed Virgin Mary [00:03:28]

And the Jack or Knave is the Devil [00:03:33]

When I count the number[00:03:36]

Of spots on a deck of cards I find 365 [00:03:37]

The number of days in a year [00:03:41]

There are 52 cards the number of weeks in a year [00:03:44]

There are 4 suits the[00:03:48]

Number of weeks in a month There are 12 picture cards the number of[00:03:49]

Months in a year There are 13 tricks the number of weeks in a quarter [00:03:53]

So you see Sir my pack of cards serves me as a Bible an Almanac and a[00:04:04]

Prayer Book "[00:04:09]

"And friends the story is true [00:04:14]

I know I was that soldier "[00:04:16]
