Played Poker for the Church and the Seattle minister
A Methodist minister in Seattle sought donations for a new church by gambling with Billy Morgan, a casino owner. Morgan offered a high-stakes draw game, promising $100 in chips with $5 per win and $500 if the minister won. The minister won a grand total of $350 in cash and a $150 check, which Morgan presented, for pews in the Columbia Avenue Mission Church.
