At Auckland #the Rev. Jasper Oalder, on Sunday last, delivered a sermon In which he said that there should be a stronger sympathy between active church workers and. sporting men. Horse racing had come to stay and It would be better for the Church to accept that fact endeavour to make the sport a good, clear one than to display antagonism towards horse racing which would only alienate the, sympathy of a large body of perfectly reputable men connected with sport. The utterance was disapproved of by the Docesan Social Questions Commission. Commenting on this Mr Calder remarked as regards the gambling evil and racing,generally the voice of the Commission seems to show that they have taken ah entirely one sided view. I believe I have had enough experience of racing myself to give both sides of the question. Until one can do this, one is bound to find a difficulty in gaining the sympathy of the sporting man In one’s effort.”
