- Notes
- "This Bulletin reflects the opinion of the Council as to the urgency of facing the matter of gambling today. Gambling is increasing. The public mind, the Church mind, should be made alert to the dangers. The problem of public sweepstakes and lotteries on a large scale which is before the Federal Parliament is an indication of the special interests which have been urging this step and a reflection of the loose, widespread opinion in Canada which, not having thought much about it, desires another form of excitement. ... We have so written, and so arranged this Bulletin, as to offer easy analysis for, and outlines of, sermons or addresses. With its numerous paragraph headings it should be helpful for Study Group purposes by the A.Y.P.A., Men's Clubs and others. In Part II several items and opinions are given for use as illustrations and two or three comprehensive summaries follow." -- Editorial Note.
- "Never before in the history of the Council has the library been made use of by clergy and the Church leaders to such an extent as in the past eight months. In the fields of welfare and Christian sociology we have added a hundred volumes of the newest and best publications. It is right up to date !" -- The Council's Lending Library, p. 15.
