COWPER POEM STTRS
REFORMED SYNOD
Verses Proposed for New
Hymnal Attacked as Reflect
ing Suicidal Intent
AsBUR Y PARK. n. j., June 1

AoDIIN I<AINfN' A. J'' JuiAS -
Whether Cowpers suicidal intent is re-
Hected in one Of his poems embodied in a
proposed new hymnal of the Reformed
Church and is not strictly orthodox was
debated at this mornings session of the
General Synod motion to close debate
by accepting the report of Prof. f. P. John
son. Of the New Brunswick Theological
Seminary chairman of the compilation COM
mittee, was lost and the discussion is be-
ing continued this afternoon.
DR. Goode, of the German Reformed
Synod, representing a committee from that
body which collaborated in preparing the
hymnal defended the Cowper poem by
saying that the hymns were selected to
meet all phases OF human experience and II
the authors morbid relapse really were re-
lected in the hymn many persons might
find solace therein.
The Rev. Charles S. MacFarland, general
secretary of the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, told the
synod the council had learned that army
chaplains were being selected by politics,
and as a result the council had taken over
the making of appointments. He said the
council last year had warning that the
churches must be prepared for a tremen-
dous work of reconstruction after the war.
The Rev. Arthur F. Matson, of New York,
spoke on Religion the Bulwark of the
Nation"
on recommendation of a commission OF
past presidents, the synod amended its rules
of order so that after this year the retiring
president will preside through the opening
session and appoint the standing commit
tees for the ensuing year. In accordance
with past precedent, Prof j. Preston Searle,
of New Brunswick, was seated Immediately
upon his election to the presidency yester-
day afternoon.

they sell like hot cakes" when the money
gets out to those who have never been able
to own one before.
The story Is different in Canada Many
classes of men have been making more
money than they ever made before the war
started. Now, Canada is a next door neigh
Dor to the United States and has borrowed
many of the traits of Uncle Sans nephews
The hunger for automobiles is keen in Can
ada, just as 1t Is right here in Philadelphia
The result is a great increase in the sale
Of lower priced automobiles. These have
gone to farmers expert mechanics and all
other classes that have cashed in strong on
the war.
The price of foodstufrs in England had
been increased half again as much as IN
the United States and Canada. but from
January to May of this year the price OF
twenty-five chief food articles in the United
states has shown a rise equaling the rise
Of the previous two and half years.
There has been decided shortage of
labor in both England and Canada women
have been substituted for men in England,
and have offered much relief. and unrest in
labor circles has given much trouble. Food
regulation was finally resorted to in Eng
land, with the result that conditions have
been greatly improved.
As a whole. the study Of England and
Canada has put a brighter aspect on our
own condition in the war. The bank had
asked itself, will business continue as
Gsual?" and found the following answer:
1T is we think, fairly indicated by the
experience of Great Britain that the exi-
gences of war force a certain readjustment
in industry. Enlistments, labor and food
shortage made 1t necessary to draw a sharp
dividing line between essential and non
essential industries But natural condi-
tions there are harder to cope with. There
is nothing in the experience of England
which would indicate that there will be any
serious readjustment in most lines of busi-
ness in the United States because of our
position as a belligerent."
