PROVINCE OF CHURCH
TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY
William Happ in Address to
Ministers Shows Part
They Can Play.

Crime and poverty as they are
known In the world today are unnec-
essary. Unchristian and undermining
civilization and with ii the church,
declared William A. Happ in an ad-
dress before the Ministerial associa-
ton Monday at the Y. Nj. c. A. Mr..
Happ spoke on the subject of "The
Church and Charity The church
must step In and save the day he con-
tended and must bear the burden If
any institution should.
To meet the situation Mr.. Happ
stated that the church must impress
on the minds OF men that the respon-
sibility for poverty and crime rests
not on its victims, but on those who
profit by its existence. The speaker
held that environment was the chief
underlying cause Of poverty and
crime. To alleviate conditions the
church must Inform itself on the
underlying cause for these conditions
of environment and be able to lay
its fingers on the culprits." he said.
The trouble apparently according
to Mr.. Happ is that 1.-THE dominating
factor In the life OF the church is bus
mess, not spirituality"
Continuing in this vein he said:
Churches are guaged by their church
buildings. by their paid choirs. by
their names. and not by the things
which they do to advance the cause
OF human justice and happiness"
In concluding his talk TO the min
listers Happ said:
IF the word charity stands for a
mood or a habit OF mind. you. as the
representatives OF the church have IL
in your power to so guide the mind of
the christian world that our civiliza-
ton will be a credit TO christianity
and not a shame. The world not only
asks but demands that the church
help TO solve this problem
