OF Church Sermon

"Naaman was man Of valor and

SO declared Evangelist o. f. Ham
ilton In his sermon last night In
the First Christian church. Using

'Leprosy."
"The word leprosy Is the only ade-
quate vehicle to convey to the human
mind to corruptive power OF sin," he
asserted. what leprosy is TO the
corrupting OF the physical body so
sin Is to the corrupting OF the soul.
Jesus came to this world for one
purpose only and that was to de-
stroy sin. He didn't come to teach
us science and mathematics. The
