AGAINST THE BOOKMAKER.
AUCKLAND, 4th July. The Auckland Ministers' Association, at a meeting to-day, received a letter signed by a large number of business firms, drawing attention to the recent references by Mr. Justice Chapman to the gambling evil, and particularly to the legalised bookmaker. The letter suggested that on Sunday next, or such other day as may be convenient, special services on gambling be preached in all the churches, and that petitions be placed in the churches for signature requesting Parliament to revise the recent legislation in the interests of public morality. The request of the letter was approved, and a committee was appointed to give effect to it.
