Dr. Mutclimor, secretary‘ of ev- angelism and social service. urged the Church to do something about developing an enjoyment of leis- ure "in a healtlrv, wholesome manner."

"Worship is the crux of the whole matter,“ he said. “The freedom of worship is the soilrce and sup- port of freedom of speech, press and asembly."

Dr. Mutchmor repeated the Arch-bishop of York's contention that. Sunday was no ionizer ii holy ‘da_v. hilt a holiday. | “The cry is: ‘Let's have our fling,‘ and people mean lo have it seven days a wcek."

"Motoring, skiing, golfing, ten- nis -— none of these things are harmful. but. when they take prim- acy 0\'Cl' religion they become subversive to the highest interest of mun." he said.

Earlier today the Council refus- ed to establish a new order of ministry; which would include both men and women lay worker-s in the Church.
