DEVIL SHOOTING TARGET

USA, 1910–1920

Cast iron, gold

19 × 15 × 9 cm

Ping! Bam! Clang! Such are the ear-piercing sounds that used to excite thrill seekers at target-shooting galleries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Commonly seen at early midways, carnivals, saloons and other places where people sought amusement, shooting galleries invited all comers, young and old, to step up, take aim and hopefully hit the target and win a prize. Each target was a sturdy, painted cast-iron form, usually replicating an animal or human figure.

The very rare cast iron Devil shooting gallery target presented here is attributed to H. C. Evans & Company of Chicago, Illinois. It retains its wonderful vibrant red in-use painted surface.

"Behold therefore the goodness, and sharpness of God: toward them which have fallen, sharpness: but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: or else thou shalt also be cut off."

“He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”

Pr 29

{From a conversation on:

"Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Mt 15}

The Pharisees held many plants which needed to be rooted up, but Christ said they sat in Moses' seat, which was certainly planted by the Father - and Paul, who gave up the heresies, remained a Pharisee, thus half or more of the Greek Scriptures were written by a Pharisee: another plant certainly planted by the Father.

In fact, Christ's words were: "all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not." Mt 23 (Obviously not referring to the traditions of the elders which they taught, but whatever they said from the seat of Moses.)

So one could say from this that the main fault of the Pharisees was in not following the Phariseeism that they taught, but following other traditions instead of Pharisaical keeping of God's Law, which they above all people should have followed.
