[First Presidency Letter] Games of chance-gambling-- These instructions state clearly the ruling of the Church on all forms of gambling including raffles, offering prizes to winners in guessing contests, etc. The instructions are given here that it would be better to let Relief Society quilts, for example, rot on the shelves rather than dispose of them by games of chance including raffling. The good intention or the good purpose or cause does not justify questionable means of raising Church revenue. Good ends do not justify questionable means.
