RACING AND GAMBLING.
PROTESTS BY THE CHtSRCH. By Telegraph—Tress Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Racing and gambling were a'gain discussed by the Council of Churches at" its meeting to-night, and the following resolutions were carried: "That the committee be requested to confer with the churches of each important centre with a view to the formation of Church Councils, and also with a view to concerted action by all Church Councils in the country on public questions." "That the Council of Churches protests against the proposal contained in a private Bill now before Parliament to substantially increase the number of totalisator permits in the Dominion. The Council urges on the Government the un-. wisdom of opening further avenues for extravagance and waste in view of the economic situation. The Council believes, oh moral grounds, that the proposal is retrograde, and that it will bo deeply resented in the country. The Council suggests that such grievously over-raced centres as Christchurch and Auckland could profitably supply permits to a considerable extent."
