Rev. Orville Hamilton, of Des Moines,
visited over Sunday with relatives and
friends in this city and on Sunday
morning occupied the pulpit at the
Christian church. His sermon was a
revelation to his Leon friends as it
seems but few years since he was a
little boy and one would hardly have
picked him out as material for a minis
ter. Yet such is the case. He has been
a student at Drake University for
several years and on Sundays has been
near that city. He has pleasant and
powerful voice and has developed into
one of the best young ministers in the
his many friends in this county.
There will be the regular services at
the Presbyterian church next Sabbath
morning and evening. In the morning
the sermon will be on the subject "The
Baptism Of the Holy Ghost" In the
evening the pastor will discuss the
question :Who is Running Leon?" On
former occasion, when one Of the pas
tors discussed municipal affairs, the
Mayor called him to an account few
days later for saying things about him
which he would not say to him. In this
instance His Honor has but to be present
! to learn what is to be said. The pastor
of this church thinks the time has gone
by when silence was virtue. The time
has come when some one should speak
and he proposes to do it.
