A Blow at Church Fairs.

The church fair got sorry DIow
at the hands of the Union county,
New Jersey, Grand Jury. The jury
urged that 1t is prevalent evil among
churches, clubs and other organlza-
tons to raise money by means which
the law had adjudged to be lottery,
especially at election times, Candi
dates are importuned to take chances
by not only officials Of organizations,
but by women and children. The
iurorssf felt that some of the persons
engage in the practice innocently,
while Others know it to be wrong, but
rely on the old excuse that charta-
bic end i A;ihes unlawful means. The
Jury says that one church in Elizabeth
has announced a fair at which $500
worth of stock is to be ratified. The
clergvmen and officers of the Assocla'
ton we're warned and their attention
called to the inconsistency OF any
crusade against race track gambling
if, under cloak of religion, they per
mitted an equally unlawful practlce'-
