was before Justice Shoemaker Saturday
night on peculiar charge and furnished $500
bail for trial. 1t seems that Annie Micko.
damus girl of about the same age, and heI
STEADY company" had photograph taken
Annie Reppi, it is alleged, procured proof
of the picture by false representations and
used it in making disparagng references to
the Mickodamus girl The charge made was
obtaining picture by fraud and false pre-
tense. The defendant waived hearing, but
stated that the young man who sat for the
photograph with Miss Mickodamus requested
her, the defendant, to go and get the proof
and that no remarks only those which are
commonly and quite properly made were
passed upon the picture. Last night Miss
Roppis' father appeared before Justice Shoe
maker and stated that while his daughter,
Annie, was getting water at hydrant two
shots were fired at Her. As the father could
give no facts upon which Il suit could be
based the matter was dropped

AN ABLE SERMON.
Large Attendance at tho First Baptist
Church LAST Evening.

church LAST Evening
The First Baptist church corner of Oak
and West streets was filled to its capacity
last highland three new members were taken
in, making an increase Of seventeen during
the revival season of the past month. Rev.
d. |. Evans, the pastor, preached an eloquent
sermon on "A Great Man In Great Need "
The text was taken from II Kings, V:
l0-l5. The sermon was opened with
brief reference Geographically TO Naa-
man, Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Sy-
rian armies, and nearest to th' person
Of the King. He was great man with his
matter and held in high esteem because bv
him the Lord gave deliveranrc unto Syria
from some other power which had oppressed
it, Not that either Naaman or his master
acknowledged this. hut the inspired author
would thus teach the Jews and MS how
all the events of all nations are under
the supreme control and direction Of God.
There seems to have been everything in
Mammals position aud surroundings to make
/ him happy, but under his armour and his
courtly robe there was % white spot the
fatal sign Of an incurablc disease He was "a
leper and not a slave in the whole realm Of
Syria would have been found willing to
change places with him. So our leprosy of
sin is more to he dreaded than all we pride
ourselves upon is to be coveted and admired.
Naaman went to Sanearia in search of cure.
He and the King and all the people Of Syria
were idoaters, except one-the maid who
waited ON Naaman's wife. She was a slave,
but she eventually proved the reality of her
own faith and strength of her religious
principles. Seeing the grievous condition of
her master and knowing the power of love
of the God whom she served to remove dis
ease, she urged upon her mistress the posi-
bility of cure Finally Naaman made the
journey, accompanied by a grand rctnuc.
and with a handsome present, and
appeared before the Court of
Samaria. The King of Israel ac-
cepted the letter written by Naamau 5
King, but knowing the folly of attempting
such thing as the cure of leper, treated
it ratheras in insult. The great but wretchcd
Naaman might have returned disappointed
had not the Lord, by his prophet Elisha,
made known his power and mercy. LET
there is prophet in Israel" said Elisha.
Naaman came with his chariot and horse and
stood at the house of Elisha and was cured.
In the cure of Naaman we see how gradu-
ally God reveals himself TO those that seek
him. There are golden opportunities that
come to everyone of us when we can wisely
and rightly speak of the grace aud power of
Jesus Christ the Redeemeraud living Friend
of sinners.
