GAMBLING.
■.Per Press Association Christchurch, last night. A largo anti-gambling meeting was held in Cathedral Square on Saturday night. Bishop Julius proposed : “ That this meeting is of tho opinion that the' totalisator is productive of much evil, and has led to a largo inorease in gambling, and should therefore be abolished.” He said they were faced at the outset with the fact that gambling is a rooted instinot in human nature, and was not necessarily evil. There were good forms as well as bad forms of Some forms were almost necessary and helped human life, whilst others -were very noxious and harmful. He had mot tbe'slightest idea of suppressing gam'•bling, because it was neither possible nor meoess'ary. The resolution was carried and •iorwarded to the Premier.
