Nowhere in the chronicles of man is
there to be found the record of a more
loathsome and deadly disease. 1t has
had its home in the Orient for thous-
ands OF years and medical science is as
helpless now TO check its ravages as it
was in the days of Galen.
Bad as physical leprosy is it is not to
be compared with moral leprosy. which
damns the soul to everlasting perdition,
unless God stretches out his hand and
heals it. Moral leprosy will rot and
disintegrate the soul as surely as ply
steal leprosy does the bone snscled mu
and tissues of the body. We may in
dulge in it for awhile but it surely and
irresitably undermines and destroys all
OF the qualities which give US kinship
with God.
Tom Marshal, one of the most
brilliant and distinguished iurists that
Kentucky ever produced, died 8
drunkard and was buried in an obscure
grave by few loyal friends who stood
by him from the days of his prosperity.
He got into the clutches of the
demon, drink, and by sort of evolu-
tionery process become so sunken in
infamy that he found it impossible to
e1tricate himself from the depth into
which he Rad fallen.
According to the Mosaic law lepers
had to cry out "Unclesn unclesn % to
all whom they met. Nothing could have
been more humilisting to them than to
have given utterance to this cry, for it
meant ostracism and segregation from
all that was near and dear to them
How much more humiliating would it
be il men ard women afflicted with
moral leprcsy were compelled TO cry
."Unclesn unclean uneleanr' by the
statutes of the present day, yet leprosy
of the mind and pssssons is thousand
times worse than the physical leprosy
OF the Far East.

Ninety-two per cent OF the relief given

Rev. Sunday paid a splendid tribute
10 Dali DeWee-e for reclAiming the
barren mesa upon which Lincoln Park
now stands. blossqming as the rose.
He said that such man was worth
more to the world than all Of the sa-
, Icons and grog shops in existence. The
reference was suggested by an srtielc
Mr.. Deweese had written for the Mes
senger on the saloon question.
The saloon is responsible for 20 per
cent of the idiocy, 50 per cent of the
crime and 50 per cent of the pauperism
OF the country The saloons of the
country must have . oo1.o boys to
drink over their bars or they would be
compelled to go out OF business for
lack of raw material.
One woman said, ''oh well am not
interested In the saloon question for
all my boys are girls" But some day
the neighbor' boys will get those girls
for their wives and when she has four

tree she will have rough house.
The principle Of the government Ii
censing the liquor traffic is wrong. The
Federal revenues should be derived
from the lu1uries OF the rich instead
OF levying upon the Drawn and muscle

purely medicinal purposes would last n

In the course OF his address Rev.
Sunday made some very interesting
comparisons, using the cost of the sa-
loon as the basis for his deductions.
Nile said that the total contribution by
the United States last year to the
world = supply OF gold was s7S,ooo,ooo,

instrumentality God was working, to
dip seven times in the river Jordan for
the cure of his leprosy. He said the
remedy was too simple, and that the
waters of Damascus were cleaner and
better than those of the Jordan. At
last, however, he obeyed and was
cured. Christians object to Gods way
OF doing things. it is not complex
enough for them. The remission of
sin by Gods grace is not understood
They want it done in a mysterious way
and are not satisfied with the Divine
manner of doing things.
Nasman could not comprehend why
Elisha would not accept presents of
gold and silver for the cure he had
wrought through Gods agency. Rev.
Sunday characterized Gehazi, the ser
want of Elisha, who ran after Naaman
and told him that his master had
changed his mind shout accepting a
present, as the first CRATER. For his
sin in asking Nssmsn to pay for the
cure which God had hsd bestowed the

the influence of John Mitchell. presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers As
sociHtion of America, a resolution has
been adopted which bars drinking men

At this juncture OF the proceedin Ks
Rev. sunday was asked by someone in
the audience il prohibition prohibited,
an interrogatory which he said Was in
spired by the National Liquor Dealers
Association. OF course, asserted Rev.
Sunday, prohibition does not prohibit,
otherwise all that would be necessary
to extirpate the evils which afIiict
mankind would be to enact laws
against them. The law only makes it
possible to reduce crime to a minimum
by imposing penalty for its violation
The second part of the sermon was
based On the text, land he was a
leper," recorded in the second chapter
Of II Kings. 1t was the story of the
life of Naaman, captain of the hosts OF
Benhadad, king of Syria. The begin
ing Of the discourse was characterized
by piece of word painting such as we
have rarely had the pleasure of listen
ing to. 1t WAS a description of Naa-
man, the commander in-chief Of the
armies Of King Benhadad, riding
