DISCUSSION OF SUICIDE.
Views of Rev. Fed H. Copp Expressed
to Congregation.

Rev. Zed II. Copp diseoursed las. evening
at Bethany Chapel on Suicide. Its Cause
and Its Curse" The speaker prefaced his
remarks by saying that the discussion of
the Subject was brought about by the sui
eide mania which is now sweeping over the
country.
Mr.. Copp asserted that 90 per cent Of
those who commit suicide insane. and
that they have no deliberate thought of
taking their lives. Among other things he
said
Worry brings on bad health. and worry
ia engendered by somebody's misdoings.
There many people who have troubles
and worry, and who labor under the I'M
preston that they tried everything to bring
about betterment in cir condition, hut
fail. and finally become fatal.sts and are
convinced that there is nothing left for
them but suicide.
What we need IS confidence and trust in
God Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved"

CHARITY WORKERS.
Rev. DR.. Van Schaick's Theme in
Series of Sermons.

eaching the second of a series of ser
mons upon The Charity Workers and the
Church. Rev. John Van Schack jr. in
the Church of Our Father yesterday spoke
upon the subject "Tke Need of the Char
tty Worker for the Church. A week ago
in the opening of the series he outlined
The Need of the Church for the Charity
Worker
with all the world before her said
the pastor, the charity worker also may
become narrow. Upon her district she con-
centrates. In her district she fights pow
erty. drunkenness, infidelity, shftiessress
and sin Of every kind. 1t sometimes seems
as If she were all alone; as II her efforts
We're insignificant and worthless; as II she
We're attempting to dip up the ocean with
a pail.
THE charity worker. therefore, needs the
church for vision. What she needs to see
is the relation her work bears to the prog
ress of humanity and the place II occupies
in the purposes of God
We see that there is no one thing that
will cure the social evil. We see that the
man with his one solution or his one pana
is apt to be crank. But we also see how
many forces are at work. 1t is not only the
charity organization society that is at
lacking poverty. 1t Is the temperance So
ciety. 1t is not only the temperance So
organization society.
Thus every social problem resolves It
self into several, and every apparently
isolated social worker has mighty allies
whom he may never
" The problem of crime said the mayor
of Boston, In our large cities, is ques-
ton of athletics Fairgrounds are an OFF,
set to penal Institutions Gymnastics re-
duce the expenditures for prisons.
In Washington, since the inauguration
of the public playground movement, the
truth OF this great proposition has been
strikngly illustrated.
I'm the lofty Mace there !s one great
thing that we ought to see. 1t is not only
the relation the workers bear to one an
other-it is the relation we all bear to God
In the old-fashioned sense of the word, the
charity worker needs theology. doctrine
of God and religion. the life Of God, in his
soul.
Theology bears a close relation to social
effort. Some theology paralyzes; other
theology inspires. Whatever they recite on
Sunday, the successful charity workers as
sumo on Monday the fundamentals Of all
the great churches.
I'm all real social movements there Is
creed. 1t is seldom stated 1t Is never
professed. 1t forms no part of
liturgy or service. But 1t is the creed oftenS
times unspoken, oftentimes unwritten, voiced
best at one time by Mazzini, the Italian
patriot, who said: am yours because be-
lieve in the unity of God; yours, because
believe in the unity Of mankind; yours,
because l believe in the educatibility OF the
whole human race and in a law of infinite
for ALL
1T is against the philosophy Of despair
that the modern church In all its branches
makes q stand.
