FIGHT/
N7COft
Justice is often shown as a woman
blindfolded, balancing scales precariously
from one hand. She looks bewildered and
fairly helpless.
This much-bruised lady absorbed
another buffet recently when the
Canadian Council of Churches aimed a
brief opposing legislation of lotteries at
her current guardian, Justice Minister
John Turner..
Architects of the brief should refresh
their memories of the Gospel according to
Saint John (8 — 7) where Jesus said to the
scribes and Pharisees who, brought,topim„,
a :woman taken in ;adultery .'.'Fie
,,without sin among you, let „
stone at her."
Perhaps the air breathed by
spokesmen for the Canadian Council of
Churches is pure and clean. Perhaps their
moral responsibilities are clearly defined.
Not so fortunate are ministers serving
Small congregations who are obliged to
bolster inadequate collections, sponsoring
bingos and raffles to finance their good
works.
Constituents of the Canadian Council
Of Churches are: Anglican, Baptist
Federation, Churches of Christ
• (Disciples), Greek Orthodox, Lutheran,
Presbyterian, Reformed Church in
America (Ontario), Salvation Army,
Society of Friends, and United Church.
Together, these churches represent
more than 10,000,000 members, half the
.population of Canada. It is an awesome
responsibility, particularly when the
weight• of numbers may be used for
political pressure.
In its brief, the council declares: "We
contend that gambling and, therefore,
lotteries are indefensible as they leave to
chance that which should be decided
upon sound moral, economic and social
principles. . . . Money badly needed for
food, shelter and clothing is diverted to
unprofitable ends. Gambling is an evil
which creates other evils and hurts the
poor more than the rich, thereby
undermining the structures of society."
These statements are morally correct,
but impractical when applied to small
ministries, the foundation bricks of all
churches in the council
If lotteries were legalized, it is possible
that church-sponsored bingos and other
games of chance would suffer from
professional competition.
It would be an insult to the
intelligence of council leaders to suggest
that they are unaware of this danger.
And it would be an embarrassment to
local ministers and their congregations if
the threat of competition was a motive
for the brief.

' Arthur Cantelon and wife,
third line, Morris, were visiting
friends in Clinton last week.
Those who have had business
at the station when the 'late
trains are arriving have often
experienced much inconvenience
owing to the poor way in which
the platform is lighted and it is
time the company introduced
something more in keeping with
a place that does the business
this station does. At Wingham
the company have introduced
the electric light much to the
convenience of the public and
we think they should do the
same here,
