BAFFLES AND ART UNIONS
CONDEMNED BY MINISTERS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Oamaru, August 2. At a meeting of the Oamaru Ministers 1 Association held to-day the following resolution was carried unanimously:— "This association of 'the _ ministers of Oamaru, while rejoicing in the great generosity that has been called forth from tho people of the district by tho appeal for aid for our wounded soldiers, and while viewing with 'the greatest satisfaction the spirit of sacrifice that has been evident among all classes, deplores the fact that by means of raffles and art unions the gambling element lias entered so. largely into'the methods of raising money. ' This 'association _ feels that a great danger is being put in the way of the young people of the community, and trusts that tho good sense and Christian sentiment,of the public will in future discountenance such means and will show increasing favour to that spontaneous liberality and selfdenial that are more in keeping with the great sacrifice our troops are making 011 the field of battle."
