PROBLEMS OF The CHURCH
REV. DIR. SHUTTER DISCUSSES
NEEDS OF UNIYERSALIST CREED.

Rev. DR.. M. D. Shutter, of Minneapo-
lis, preached a sermon at the Universal
list Church of the Messiah yesterday
afternoon
DR.. Shutters sermon was on the pres
ent problems of UniversaliSm He spoke
briefly but strongly and concisely. He
insisted that Universalism is a positive
affirmation; not what many imagine 1t
to be. simply religion of negation. The
great problem before the Universalists
today is to apply their creed to the con-
dittons of the poor, the down-trodden,
those in the sweat shops, unwholesome
tenements. and all who are in misery
and in sin.
According to DR.. Shutter, the teach
have tended to develop strongly the in
dividua!ity of man. One of the prob
lens Of today is to unite those indi-
viduals in a compact working organiza
ton which the business experience Of
the last years of the past century have
shown to be an absolute necessity to
accomplish results.
DR.. Shutter then spoke of the Univer-
saltst creed He grouped this creed un-
der five heads. as follows The Universal
Fatherhood Of God. the Spiritual Au-
thority aud Leadership of His Son, Je
sus Christ, the Trustworthiness of the
Bible as Containing the Revela ton from
Gcd. the Certainty of Just Retribution
for Sin. the Final Harmony of ALI Souls
With God.
The church was well filled. the whole
congregation being present besides Wis
itors from Minneapolis.

SUICIDE IS TOO COMMON
REV. f. b. COWGILL TELLS HOW
TO CURE THE TENDENCY.

AT the First Methodist church last
evening Rev. F. B. Cowgirl gave an in
teresting discourse, his theme being
What is the Meaning of the Modern
Tendency to Suicide?' The lecture did
not lean to the sensational, but was
SIMPLY common sense argument to
show that the people of TODAY are so
much wrapped up in the affairs of state
and business that mind and body is
Slapped and relief is too often found in
recourse to suicide. sad DR.. Cowgirl:
IL suicide be crime it is not a crime
or such character that society OF today
has seen fit to resent CT to enact laws
to prevent. No refCrmer has deemed tie
subject sufficiently of importance to agi-
tate for that repugnance to suicide which
should at all times be prevalent. There
Is growing tendency to suicide. Why IS
this so" One Of the fundamental laws
Is the preservation Of life and it is found
everywhere, even among TIE plants and
lower animals The obstruction of one
life for the preservation of another Is
recognized and While we applaud the hero
VINO dies that another may live vet in
our very being is that inherent desire
to live and we sacrifice all in perpetual
ton of this fundamental law 1t is held
that no man takes his life unless border
ing upon insanity. This is hard to de-
termine. The influence of religion on the
tendency TO suicide Is evident. Religion
Is a preventive to self-destruction It's
teachings show that life is sacred and in
stills in us a respect for what God has
created for a purpose. When faith de-
cfines, suicides increase. No theory re-
garding the cause of suicide is permis-
sable without taking into consideration
the nervous and physical condition of
man. With the advances of civilization
these forces become more complex AMI
sensitive and in their irritation we pos
SHY find one thing that has a tendency
to self-destruction more than anything
else.
I'VE are In a highly civilized age and
the pace Is too fast. We think too much
of worldly pleasures and in their ac-
cumulatton we go the pace that kills.
There is a loss OF mental equilibrium as
result, and relief. the afflicted think,
Is to be found only in the grave. So
ciety today IS in q mad rush that allo TVS
no rest. The faculties are faded. Com
petition is intense. An msatiate desire
to get rich all at once. To keep up with
our neighbor. to distance him Is the de-
sire of all. The finish needs no portrayal,
it must come, and to many it means sui
eide
The elimination of this tendency, the
speaker said, could he brought about by
more self-sacrif7ce on the part of society.
If every man would stop In his rush
and aid n burdehed brother, the satisfac-
ton felt would be inestimable. More
sunshine In life and less of the worry
and plod. Pass it on to others and then
life will be worth living.

HAS A GOOD START NOW
ST. PHILIPS MISSION IS AT LAST
FREE FROM DEBT.

Dedicatory services were held at st.
Philips mission, Mackubin and Aurora,
yesterday afternoon. Rev. w. c. Pope,
of the Church of the Good Shepherd,
who will have temporary charge OF the
new church, off1ciated The church was
filed to the doors and many visitors Were
present, among them being Archdeacpn
w. G. McCready, OF Lexington, KY: Rev.
D. H Jones, rector Of the Church of the
Messiah, and F. o. Osborne. g.
The pastor referred to the early strug-
giles of the church, and told of how 1t
had grown from small beginnings. He
hoped that the splendid work of the con-
gregation would be continued, and he In
voked the aid of Divine Providence for
blessings in the future.
The history of the church, which was
the most interesting part of the days
programme was delivered by Clarence
Tfbbs 1t is, in part, as follows:
"Since the feast of st. Philip and st.
James, May I, "a (when the mission was
organized by the venerable Archdeacon
Appleby, with only three communicates
and three candidates for confirmation
many times have the faithful few gather
ed together disappointed and broken
hearted, almost persuaded to give up an
apparently hopeless struggle. But at
each crisis God, in His allwise Providence.
gave US the man or the means to over
come the impending obstacles. In June,
1897, when for the first time discord and
discomfort had crept into our ranks, the
gloom was dense and the discourage
ments almost overwhelming. 1t was at
this time that Rev Mr.. Officer was placed
over US. 1t was his first charge, but,
through his steadfast faith in earnest
prayer, he proved a power and strength,
and. though a believer in the highest
ideal of priesthood yet, with childlike
simplicity would he seek consultation
and advice of the Iowliest.
while there was no class presented for
confirmation, a great work was, never
theless, accomplished, and while he con-
sumed the whole three months in teach
ing US but one lesson, ''That God answers
prayer" how well we-learned it must be
cleaned from present results. At the end
of his summers labor with US. brotherly
love had been rekindled, all in debtedness
wiped out, and he left us reconciled with
his expression of willingness to return
when ordained if the bishop would grant
it.
REV. Lawrence Booth, then student
at Seabury, came to work with US. Mr.
Booth proved to be another of Mime
sofas most priestly sons. He took up
the lines laid down by his predecessor
and soon presented large class for on
firmation, and continued the good work
done by Mr.. Officer in the choir and Sun
day school Besides it was through Mr..
Booth that the Easter Offering of '9S was
made the foundation for building
fund"
Mr.. Tibbs then went on to show how
pastor had succeeded pastor and,
amongst other things, he said that the
first two years may be briefly summed up
by stating that men. women and children
were brought to baptism and confirma-
ton. The last year consisted of a long
struggle for funds and yesterday saw the
contamination Of the work of years.

Rev. s.. G. Smith. of the Peoples
church, preached his thirteenth ami

long connection with the church and said
he hoped his work In the service of the
Lord would meet with blessings as it had
in the past.
Amongst other things he spoke of the
time when the Peoples church held its
first services in the Grand opera house.
January 8, 1883. His text was: 1.-THE
Church Of the Living God. the
Pillar and Ground of tha Truth
He always recalled the time
with pleasure and was ever more thank
full for blessing that had been bestowed
upon the church. Now it had It's own
home and was entirely paid for. and
plain sailing was before the congrega-
ton.
His text for the sermon Of the evening
was taken from Luke xii, 20: Now.
