BISHOP CONDEMNS CHURCH
SALES
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
HAMILTON, This Day. "I thoroughly disapprove these sales of work which are such a feature of church life," said Bishop Cherrington, on opening a sale on behalf of the Cathedral Ladies' Guild this morning. He said they were robbing the poor by competing with people who found it difficult to make a. living selling baby clothes, needlework, etc. Tho sales whether with ' raffles or not, were' wrong in principle. Church people should give directly, and not spend on sales. However, he paid a tributo to the work of the Ladies' Guild on seeking to raise funds not to pay off a debt, but to improve the cathedral,-and wished tho sale every success.
