SURPRISE PACKETS AND GAMBLING.
SHARP CRITICISM OF Y.W.C.A
AUCKLAND, June 28.
Commenting -on the raising of money by surprise. packets for the Young Women's Christian Association Building Fund, the Rev. A. M. Murray said in an address on art unions last night: “Thousand's no doubt have been drawn into the vortex of this gambling stream for the first time and who can say where many of them will end. The Y.W.G.A. might just as well receive a dividend from the totalisator as receive money from an art union.. Unless the Directors of the Y.W.C.A'. repudiate all money raised in this way then they have dragged the institution into 'the mire and held themselves up to the censure of every right-thinking Christian and have left an unenviable example for unborn generations to follow. If the Directors accept money received illegally then they have quietly bowed God out. of their institution, for God, believe me, will be no party to such a thing.’’
