PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.
THE GAMBLING EVIL At the Presbyterian Assembly at Auckland, it was resolved that tli'e Assembly deplore that horse racing should absorb so much of the country's aUention in so serious a crisis in the Empire's affairs; it regretted that the authorities in Parliament and out of it so far from discouraging it were, in the opinion of the Presbytery, seemingly encouraging it. and every form of gambling, especially raffling, by legislation and by support of their presence at race meetings.
The Rev R. Inglis strongly condemned gambling, which he said was associated with the Auckland Patriotic Carnival. The Presbyterian Assembly, on Thursday, passed a resolution with great enthusiasm expressing loyalty to the King, and stating that it was more firmly than ever persuaded that the cause of Britain and her Allies was the cause of righteousness, freedom, and the Kingdom of Cod, and deprecating all thought of the cessation of hostilities till the evil power of German militarism lias been despoiled by the invader fully restored.
