BISHOP CONDEMNS CHURCH SALES.
Hamilton, October 3
“I thoroughly disapprove these sales of wolrk which are such a feature of church life,” said Bishop Cherrington,. on opening a sale on behalf of the Cathedral Ladies’ guild i this morning. He said they v ere robbing the poor by competing with people who found it difficult to make a living selling baby clothes, needlework, etc. The sales, whether with raffles or not, were wrong in principle. Church people should give directly, and not on sales. However, He paid a tribute to the work of the Ladies’ Guild on seething to raise funds not to pay off a debt, but to improve the cathedral, and wished the sale every success.
