A clergyman used the word damn " at the Chelmsford Diocesan Conference at Southend. **

The incident occurred during a discus- sion on a resolution expressing concern at the increase ia betting and gambling..[ The Rev. J.

"People, Mr. Glass continued, gam ble on all sorts of things, from the race- course to the pulpit, for I know of an instance where two men made a bet as to whether the vicar would preach from the Old, or the New Testameat. When they came to church I was preaching on Prayer Book revision. (Laughter.) They said I had won the het, but i never got it.".

AN OIL SHARE DET.

The Rev. E. Lees, of Brentwood, for- merly of Canning Town, asked what was the difference between a man who put something on a horse and another man who telephoned to his brother asking hini to put 500 on oil shares, with exactly the same ohjeet .

Another thing we have to rentein ber," he continued, is that all our church wardens and church officers are doing this thing.' (Cries of "No.")

"Well said Mr. Lees, "I am sorry f move in such degraded circles. For a large proportion of people I know are doing this thing in some form or another. I am utterly opposed to the idea that gambling is sin. It is a damn folly,

THE DISHOP'S REBUKE.

Here the, Big, of Chelmsford (in the chair) inped with the remark that he did not the expression was, one which ought n be employed.

Mr. Lets beg your pardon. I will say it is a folly. You cannot say it is a sin. People wing put a small,sum on a horse simply do it to get a little pleasure in life.

It is all very well for you who live! in niec parts of Essex to say that these people are vicious. Go and live in the buck streets of Canning Town, and you would be much faiter to them.

..

The Church should try to make life a bit more interesting for them. If I were in some parisbe, I know of I would bet because of the dullness of the Church and the dullness of Church life.

I would bet on the length of the sermon and the length of the church- workers' tougies in those parishes."

THE

UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA

RESIDENCE, FARMING, TRAYEL

The Union of South Africa is of interest to Europeans in the Far East If they are retirings on pension, there ara many pleasant South African towns in which to live. If they seek career, and have a moderate capital, there is scope in South Africa for planters and farmers. And for, those in need of a boliday, the country is famed as a travel and health resort.

•

The climate is equable. It is.. sunay but temperate, being neither so inclement in winter as that of Northern Europe, nor so enervating in summer as that of the East. It is a genial, wholesome climate in which Europeans thrive,

The rougher work in South Africa, is done by coloured labourers and domestics, Educational facilities are good, the young can now take their University degrees in South Africa. The larger towasare modernly equipped, and many of the smaller bijes are very congenial residentially, There are numerous resorts-moun- tain, river and marine, for an occa sional change. Sport is plentiful. The cost of living and income tax- ation compare favourably with those elsewhere.

In short the Union of South Africa is an uncommonly attractive country. Full particulars may be obtained from the Publicity Agent, Office of the High Commissioner for the Union" of South Africa. "Trafalgar Square, London, w.c.2. Specily requirements,
