I am rather weary. My voice is hoarse—I will have to whisper to you. “First, you realize the people who come in to see us here are desperate, some of them tempo- rarily insane. They are either thinking of taking their lives at any moment or they have already made an unsuccessful attempt to do so. There are no set rules about how to handle them. The main thing is that we deal with them the minute they come in— you've got to take them as they come — no appointments. We may get through with a case in 20 ‘minutes—one consultation I had took 4 hours. “Besides the 1,026 patients (we call them that because they are really sick) who visited us last year we carried on a large correspondence with despondent people all over the country. And our two field workers visited homes and hospitals in this city and neighboring states. “The would-be suicide tends to seek help from outside his circle of friends and relatives. Generally the first thing a pa- tient asks is: ‘Must I give my name and address?’ Not being a welfare organization we don’t have to take that data. Our work is mainly spiritual, you know. Suicide is a crime against man and a sin against God. We believe people will not take life if they have faith in God. These are ter- rible times we are living in and people lose their faith—that is the trouble. We must work to bring back that faith, “We begin right back where the patient is—if it’s a case of deep- seated fear we trace back and try to find the cause. In cases where there is real physical need we try to help out with money until a welfare agency takes over. 5 3 “This is the work I want to do. I am needed and I will stay with it forever. At the end of a day of consultation I am simply limp. Often on the way home I stop in at a newsreel theatre to see one of those little travel pictures. When it is over that is enough. I feel better, I'm relaxed. No, I simply do not bother or wor_}"y about what happens to our patients after they leave our office. The results of my work belong to God, not to me. 1 do my best and I know God will do the rest.” A w~MARY_MORRIS, AP Feature Service Photographer WHO SHE IS LONE B. BONNELL, a mid- dle-aged, gray-haired wo- man, is councilor at the Na- tional Save-A-Life League, New York. Day after day in a low, soothing voice she dis- suades people from committing suicide. She studied for the for- eign mission field, but after finishing her training she real- ized her health would not stand the climate in India. So she stayed in. New York to do church work in the poor sec- tions. In 1929 she joined the staff of the League, which had been founded in 1906 by a min- ister, Dr. Harry M. Warren. Dr. Warren still works for the League, handles all correspon- dence. League surveys reveal about 20,000 persons in the United States commit suicide every year and 40,000 unsuc- eessfully attempt it. More than three times as many men as women ¢ommit suicide and more than three times as many divorced persons as married.
