DRINK NO WORSE THAN
WORRY, SAYS PASTOR

NEW YORK, Aug SIT is no
more sinful TO drink yourself into
the gutter than TO worry yourself
into the grave. in the opinion of
the Rt. Rev Charles f. Woodcock.
Episcopal bishop of Kentucky. who
delivered an address here tonignI
at the cathedral of St John the Di-
vine.
People are getting life badly
mixed up" he said. They are
shortening their lives by 10 years
by senseless worry. Worry weakens
the heart and hardens the arteries.
People are carried away by the mis-
taken idea that one cannot live with
out worry.
Worry is an evil. II destroys
more than rum or vice. 1t is as sin
full as drinking or gambling. 1t is a
guilty, sinful, cOwardly thing. II
is always a personal weakness"
