Mr. Martin announced today that, In

statement from her to the effect that at
the time she took poison and adminis
tered soma of It to her two children, both

Tho Rev. "Dllly" A. Sunday may bo the
"farmer" when It comes to planting the
religious seed, but it Is Homer W. Rode
heaver who docs tho preliminary tilling.
Thero aro no two ways about Hint. Nd
more potent Instruments to harrow tho
ground of an unrcgencrato audience's
emotions wero over user to greater effect
than the Blldo trombnnn and tho dramatic,
vibrant volco which this redoubtable
"muslo mastqr" la bringing to bear upon
tha multitudes of Plillmlclphlnns nnd out
Blilvrs who day after day fill tho taber
nacle. From the top ot his carefully brushed
black vclour hat to tho tip of his black
"patent leathers." little "Rodoy" Is an
expert In humanity. He has reduced the
psychology of crowds to a practical work
ing basis, and by some subtlo intuition he
senses what 20,000 people want wluit they
need to liavo put Into them nnd ho gives
It to them.
He knows precisely -when an old hymn
wltl "Kot across," Just ns he knows when
his listeners need something navel to
wake them up a familiar anthem glveh
a different twist, n new song they have
never heard before. Ho suits tho music
to tho mood of tho majority, nnd boforo
he Is half finished with them ho has tho
pulses of the sinner, tha skeptic nnd tho
God-fearing alike pounding with the ex
pcctatlon of what Is to come. They are
mnrlortettcs In his hands. Only ho works
tne trombone instead or pulling strings.
"To get tho people to conccntrato on the
platform, to mako the thousands out thero
forget tho million cares of. a busy day
and busy world Is part ot my' Job" Tie
will tell you, and when you note tho long
(iwceplng curl of his eye-lashes and the
mellow noto In his rich barytono voice,
tho "mash letters" which he Is said to
rccelvo over to often In his morning mall
ore not difficult of explanation.
"It Isn't hard to tell after the first
few barn have beenaung Just what your
audience ncds. Monte It Isn't a song
at all, perhaps It lawk story a that they
want. And then I tellhem.-ono. Some
times humorous and sometimes pa
thetic, .sometimes it's an old song with
an extraordinary or on original twist
that will prepare them for the Gospel
messages that are to come. There is
no telling Just what until you got up on
tho platform and sound them. Then It's
easy."
He knows people. And he ought to,
for In the course of k his 30 odd years
thero Isn't much that ho hasn't done.
Born on a farm near Union Furnace,
Ohio, llttlo "Rody" started life as a son
of the soil. When his father decided to
move to the mountains of Tennessee, the
exigencies of tin situation demanded
that he look around for something else.
He entered the coal mines and later
forsook these for the sawmill. It was
while he was busily engaged an a sawyer
that he thought it would be a pretty fine
thing to become a lawyer, and so he
worked in the mill and studied law In
a night class.
"I didn't like that business of study
ing and sawing at one and the same
time," he said humorously, "and so I
put all my savings Into what I took to
be valuable timber lands. The yield from
this was to pay my law expenses, but
unfortunately the timber lands were not
all that I had dreamed them to bo. and
so I found myself without anything.
"I abandoned law and became a trav

when tho Hpntilsh-Amcrtcnn War broke
