Senator Kenney Ii in any wise Implicated
lprlp ate, il. moi. publicly, Incidentally
Pastor Walling scored the bank officials,
ard spoke OF ths report, which he said, he
had heard that ct least thirty more men
were to be indicted In the affair, and ne
said that II Teller Boggs was bribed to re-
,turn, tho only reason for him acting III the
present manner would be for him to assist
In yacating the seat of present United

In u prayer, prlor 70 his sermon, iastor
Walling invoked the divins blessing of
forgiveness upon those who have sinned
against the state and community. he
prayed that God would raise upright lead
ers for the state, and that all parts OF the
state now degraded lnny be cleansed.
He asked that God would have mercy up
on those who represent tho people IN the
legislative bodies of all kinds.
In opening his dircUurse the Rev. Mr..
Walling said. that while attending the
trials In the Federal Court certain things
had come TO him, and they were all group
Cd about the text us found in Numbers ",
%: "Be sure your sins will find you out."
He prefaced his sermon proper by eXplaln'
ing the conditions OF tho conversation by
Moses, rs the represen tative of God, 10 tho
lSraelites. who wanted certain land.
"rhere is certainly u class of people Who
think iiod enunciateu certain statements
simply to get persons into trouble said
the preacher, but 1t was demonstrated
before these words were uttered that tho
,stns Of persons would find them out There
~ universal rule, and IL applies that your

Bank. viii soon find you out"
rs it true, because Thomas S, Clark Is
guilty. that his children will have his
flniQuilies visited upon them?' the preacher
said, wis the Interpretation some people
place on the context, which shows distinct.
~ that whom children follow closely in tho
footsteps of their fathers, and make the
sins OF pale nts their own, does 1t apply
shat the in qutiei Of the father shall DO
visited upon them.
"There arc IL certain lot of people at
Dover, who, when they saw others who
had wealth. desired 1t also, continued tho
preacher. "lf you can get 1t honestly you
Will be all right in the eyes Of tho Lord,
but II dishoncs ly, DO sure your sins will
End you out. Clask knew be was = sinner
before he s',od in Court, indicted before a
jury, and thirk he know his sins would
lind him out"
The Rev Mr.. Walling told of convor-
sation. in which Clark was asked by q
witness: Are you going to put your
character in evidencep"
"No," Is the reply attributed to Clark.
III put my character in evidence they
would hang me before l could get out of
this room"
"The witnts' told it to me. said pastor
Wullins. CLARK know his sins would find
him out" The preacher thought Clark
should have received u little more than five
years Imprisonment, because, when he
knew he was guilty he fought to the end
to beproven innocent.
The minister said it was not for him to
say whether Senator kenncy is guilty or
not guilty, but it could be depcnued upo1
shat II he has -inned, sin will find out II
United States Senator, no doubt publicly
as well as privately. Ii Senator kenney
paid back money to the bank, Pastor Wall
ing thought that did not exempt him if he
took the money. The question was, did
he commit IA crime before that? IT. would
be Il travesty on Justice If Cooper or Clark,
who did not have money to pay back to
the bank. should 60 to prison, though a
United Stutes senato or, who had money to
pay over should not go to prison.
Let the district attorney 60 to tho
cesSpool down in Dover" SAID the pastor,
''and dIedge until he strikes the bottom of
the cesspool until every bit of rot, dirt and
Msi,e Is removed; and then If it be thirty
or more men who took the poor mans
money, they will DO treat ed US they should
be treated, and their sins will find them
out"
Pastor Walling said as Boggs looked at
the deposit slips and told his tale on thu
witness stand, he wondered if the men who
secut ed the money were making depoHi
for their sins in heaven. Every time you
do wrong, laid the preacher you make IL
deposit i'll heaven, and at last, when you
stand before God, your sins will find you
out There is a solution, and it is this;
'Fea God and keep His commandments"

Der of the local churches are holding tw,
