A CRUSADE, ied by t» c evaiij,'«bc*l churches is . ow being carr ed on Hgdingt so-called gambdngiu CHURCH connection with RAFFLES. church demonstra tions, Every year a parliamentary return i«* published showing the number of permits granted by the Oolonin.l Secretary to churches of the various denominations for " art unions." No doubt the practice has been flagrantly abused in the past, and things havß been done at church bazaar* calculated to bring great scandal on religion, but that is hardly a reason (says the Otago Daily Times) for hysterical shrieking against aU art unions. The art union is a recognised method of disposing of objects of art, Drawing by lot is no am, because it is sanctioned in the Bible, and recognised in a number of temporal affairs. A jury, which may be called upon to exercise the high prerogative of decid* ing upon a fellow being's life, is drawn by lot. Many a prosperous farmer is indebted to the ballot box for his happy and comfortable home, and why not for tbe pictures that adorn its walls ? Let us not be pharisaical. It is quite possible to conduct an art union in consistence with perfect innocence. The objects themselves must not be outrageously over-valued, although a little latitude maybe allowed in this direction, and the method of drawing must be decent and decorous. What is not decent and decorous is to see towards the close of a bazaar—-what nearly everyone has seen—the enfran chised maidens, crinihus involutis, dart ing hither and thither, endeavouring to induce all and sundry to take shares in raffles in which the pn'ze is a trum pery toy, the instrument a vulgar dice box, and the prevailing feature a willingness to cheat hugely, since it is »U " for the benefit of the cburch.' Between this method and the sober and orderly disposition of a number of gen uine works of art which have been patiently and 1 vingly produced by friends there is an ocean. The former is usually meretricious all through, for the so called przes are frequently eked out by purchase of cheap toys to be disposed of for as many shillings as they originally cost pence. Pecunia non olet they say —the money does not smel!—but it is tainted ail the same, and assuredly brings evil when gained liy such means. Art union?, in a word, are harmless or harmful in exact proportion to their nature. Mr Hawkins, S.M. has reported on the operation of prohibition in Cutha. He sa.ya there is a PROHIBITION sense of i> justice IN CLUTIIA. and of irritation atising out of the fact that what is 'awful and expedient elsewhere in the colony should be declared the reverse in this district. The minority feel that I hey are victims of an arbitrary law. Of 80 informa tions laid 40 were withdrawn, 1G dis missed, while there were 23 c evic tions. The fines amounted to £651. It is impossible to say that the sale has been stopped, or that any final blow has been given (o the trade. The report continues :— v Liquor is to be found generally, and is offered to visitors in houses where before 1893 no liquor was kept. The repressive measures and the penal enforcement of them have led to an open defiance of the law, and to a disregard of truth in the Magistrate's Court, the evils of which the commission 'cannot suffi ciently dwell on and deplore.' " There is hardly a case which has come before the S.M. in which defendant has pleaded not guilty in which, in the stipendiary magistrate's opinion, there has not been lying in the witness box. In some cases it is most deliberate. The S.M. snys that the prohibitionists, while attempting to cast out one devil, are bringing in several others far worse than that one. The condition of the present state of affairs is most unen durable—an evil of a character most mischievous to the morality of the distiict. Holloway's Pills.—Teachings of Ex perience.—The united testimony of thou sands, extending over more than forty years, most strongly recommend these Pills as the beat purifiers, the mildest aperients, and the t surest restoratives. They never prove de | lusive, or give merely temporary relief, bub attack all ailments of the [stomach, lungs, heart, head, and bowels in the only safe and legitimate way, by elcmsing the blood, and so eradicating those impurities which are the source and constituent of almost every disease. Their medical efficacy is wonder ful in renovating enfeebled constitution?. Their action embrace? all that is desirable in a household medicine. They remove every noxious and effete matter; and thus the strength is nurtured and the energies stimu ated. \pi/y&/?y a/Met/m/fefions* ||_jf /ns/sf- on nsv/ng. m emmmmmm ms\ - \MBfsrepi/re<sM'whksmi\ \ experience can 6in. lamesfsafe/Mi/sfra/asm.\ Oblo by all grocers a Mr James Perdue, an old soldier residing at Monroe, Mich., was severely afflicted with rheumatism bub received prompt relief from pain by using Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
