"Noeoay. someeody. Eyepboay. "

At the union service Sunday evening,
Rev. Samuel Knowles took as his subject,
ssNobody, Somebody, Every body A per-
son must either be notoriously bad OF
notoriously good in order 10 gain recog-
milton in the world. Let man do some
thing very bad or something great and
the result is the same-tney are immedi-
ately brought TO public notice.
Referring TO the recent notoriety given
in many WAYS 70 Mrs. Mary Rogers. he
said that while she was living in a little
town in the southwestern part OF our state,
unknown outside IT'S limits, she was, most
certainly, a nobody" when she killed
her hus band, she became, in the eyes of
the law. a s.some body" and, judging from
the notice given her by the press, she is
now ''every body He had heard Scrip
ture quoted to prove that capital punish
ment was wrong. but he said that quoted
was not AZ all IN line with the question
raised and that Gen. go settled that
question forever beyond all doubt. Peo-
Die when telling what terrible thing II
would be for Mrs. Rogers TO be hanged
seldom mention what a heartiess. premed-
itated, fendish thing she did. The excuse

People will succeed in making themselves
strong In spite OF unfavorable environ
ment II they wish and only weaklIngs are
kept down by il. He thought Gov. Bell

sherlfs who sent their petitions they
might resign their offices II they did not
wish 10 perform their duty.
He then showed the other side OF the
picture, giving as an example the woman
who touched the hem OF Christ's garment,
rising Immediately from position OF OBJ
seurity to that OF the most important per-
son in the multitude which thronged
about him and by her faith was made
whole from her sickness.
In closing he said that religion was for
the individual, not for the mass. No
one need expect TO sneak his way into
Heaven in a crowd there would be no
way OF entering except as an individual.
