The Council of Churches discussed the question of gambling at its monthly meeting, and passed the following resolution: "This Council of Christian On arches of Dynedin, in view of the fact that a Gaming Act Amendment Bill, No. 2, is being brought bsfore Parliament, is convinced that every effort should be made by way ol leffislative enactment to restrict the gambling propensities of the community, and enters an emphatic protest against any proposal to increase the number of totalisator permits. It commends the Premier and the Minister of Internal Affairs for their endeavour to suppress the bookmaker, and urges that the .'aw against these men should be rigidly enforced. It appeals to all ministers, bible class leaders, members of Parliament, and the Press to use their' utmost influence to foster healthy public opinion regarding the gambling evil, which has, in every age, proved a pernicious practice, degrading to the individual, wasteful to society, and injurious to the well-being of the State."
