Mr. fielleck charged that the alarm
ing growth of suicide Is due first to a
lack of faith in God, then to tha nver-

to strong drink, disappointment In affections,-
gambling, the social',. vU and
fear of exposure. . ' 1 '
"There has ever been a tendency to
end life by committing aulclda" said
Mr. Selleck. "but never In the world's
history haa ther been a time when po
many auch deaths have been recorded as

heard by every one, ought to be raised
against this cowardly act Last week
