ART UNION FOR Y.W.C.A.
SEVERELY CONDEMNED
(Doited Press Association.)
AUCKLAND. This Day
Commenting on the raising of monevby surprise packets for the Young Women’s Christian Association building fund, Rev. A. M. Murray said in an address on art unions last night:— “Thousands no doubt have been drawn into the vortex of this gambling stream for tlie first time, and who can say where 'many of them will end? The YAV.C.A. might just as well receive a dividend from the totalisator as 'receive money from an art union. Unless the directors of the YAV.C.A. repudiate all money raised in this way then they have dragged the institution into the mire, and held themselves up to the censure of every right thinking Christian, and loft an unenviable example for unborn generations to follow. If the directors accept tlie money received illegally then they have quietly bowed God out of their institution, for God, believe me, will be no party to such a thing.”
