The matronly willow admitted yesterday that she had been fond of Gentry, bought him three automobiles, took him on trips, spent several thousand dollars on him, and lived ns man and wife from 1927 to 1931. These relations ceased when he proposed degeneracies, she said, but Gentry remained, demanding more and more of her money and her property under threats of death, and commencing an inhuman program of torture and degeneration to get it.

DEPAUW CHAPEL

President Oxnam was in charge of DePauw chapel Tuesday morning and talked on the subject, "The Heroism of Jesus.” He said: "Recently, I re-read Emerson’s essay on Heroism. It is a masterful consideration of a virtue too seldom possessed. He tells us that the, hero is one who takes both 'reputation and life in Ins hand, and with perfect urbanity, dares the gibbet and the mob by the absolute truth of his speech and the rectitude of his behaviour’. 'Heroism,' he says, 'is an obedience to a secret impulse of an individual's character. it is scornful of being scorned’. Genuine heroism is persistent. 'Greatness once and forever has done with opinion’. "It is profitable to study this trait as it manifests itself in Jesus. Jesus scorned being scorned. Jesus is invited to take dinner in the home of a prominent man. During the course of the meal, a street-woman enters the house. She has brought an alabaster box of ointment. She kneels at the feet of Jesus and annolnts his feet with (he ointment. The host is aghast*. Jesus knew full well that any word to this woman would be misunderstood. But he scorned being scorned. He had proclaimed a doctrine, the doctrine of a loving father who would forgive the sincere sinner. This truth was worth more than his personal reputation. He speaks to the woman. ‘Thy sins are

forgiven thee’,

"It is written in the'record, 'The spirit driveth Him’. He was obedient to 'a secret impulse’. 'My father worketh hitherto, and I work’ he said. He believed he had found answer to the age-old question, 'In what does abundant life lie?’ For him the answer was not in terms of things. ’A man's life does not consist i n the abundance of the things which he possesses.’ Rather, life lies in faith, in truth, in goodness, in beauty, in service. He coupled with the inner impulse a persistency that is essential to the realization of idealism. Driven from iris home town, misunderstood by his brothers and sisters some of whom thought him mad, disappointed bv the lack of understanding manifest in his little band of followers, nevertheless he carried on. Persistent! Pre-eminently persistent! "As Servant of All, He lived in a greatness that was done with opinion, | a greatness that dared the gallows. I The disciples begged him to refrain I from going to Jerusalem. Scorning scorn, persistent, driven by an allcompelling inner urge. Ho ‘set His fare toward Jerusalem’ and dared the gibbet and the mob 'by the absolute tmth of his speech and the rectitude

of his behaviour’.
