About twenty people came out
last Friday to hear Robert L.
Kemple, the lecturer. Mr.. KEN
pie certainly had a message for
everybody and the boys in particu
lar. He is a forceful, impassion-
ate speaker and reaches the heart
of his auditors. He spoke over

Of all. Those that were present
were highly pleased and expressed
themselves to the effect that they
could listen to the speaker all

is that such q small number Of
people we're present. People
right i'm town were conspicuously
absent and most Of them are now
are sorry they did not come.
