"City's Biggest Sinner Is
Not A Criminal Says Ham
As More Tolerable for Odontites in Judgment Ihan
for Respectable Jews Who Fought Jesus So Belter
for Murderers Than for Seducers of ('liaructer
"The biggest ?Inner In Ellxa

to bring the work of the Christian H
Cows of thlscomraunttytnto dis
repute. and to muke hard the ef-^H
forts of your pastor? and tsirnest H
Christian workers to save- youi ?
city." Evangelist M. F. Ham told
his great congregation at the ?
Hani-Ramsay tabernacle Thins
day night.
"The reprobate, the harlot, the ?
friiiiinni tha ain^aton
the evangelist said, "are without I
Influence and their very lives are ?
[ * warning to others not to follow H
i in their footsteps, but the enemy H
of the kiugdooi who.la.really to bc|
reared Is the man of Influence and | I
power and education, who clothes ?

??The man who commits ^th*

ment. Jenua Hlmaelf tella us ?
that the greatest commandment ?
is 'Thou shalt love the Lord H
thy Cod with all thy heart and ?
with nil thy soul and with all thy
strength' and that the second ?
greatest la like unto It 'Thou shall ?
"The ten commandments are all
fragments of these two gn at com- H
mandments. In the two aro ?
summed up not only the whole
ten but all the law and the proph ?
ets. The greatest sin you can com- ?
I mlt is to deliberately turn your
i back on Jesus Christ and the ?
greatest sinner Is the man who Is
doing most to prevent others from H
accepting and surrendering their ?
lives to the Nararene. He Is the | I
man who Is doing most to seduce
souls and destroy character. If It I
were not for you reaaactable peo
ple who are lined up with the
Devil he would have no standing
(n this community; if it were not
for you moral people who are sup
| porting him he could catch noth-1
?ing In his net but crawfish.
"It Is not the man who breaks I
r*Ivank or roba ua of our poss*-*
rfinna who is most tobc. feartd. J.mL,
the man who undermines charac- I
ter. destroys the soul, and robs us
of Christ and hope. Tho greatest I
enemy of the home la not the In- |
cendlary who burna down the
house in which you live but the j I
neighbor who undermines the
Christian training of your chil
dren; not the brute who criminal
ly assaults a woman on the high- I
wmj. Mui the devil who seduces I
her in the parlor: not he who
kills the body but he who destroys j I
the soul. - ..
"Jesus pronounced woes in his | i
day on the cities of Dethsalda. j I
Chorazin and Capernaum, which
had heard his teachings and wit
nessed his mighty works, warning
them thst calamity would befall I
them In time and thst lo eternity I
It would be more tolerable for the
Kople of flodom than for them. I
cause had the mighty works ?
? been done In Nineveh or Tyre that I
Were done In the cities where I
Christ lived and taught the people I
would have repented In lack clotn I
fluid ?flh?. I
Tli In Ciencrmlon Oopmnnrd Al?n,
??Llkewlao the people of I
Africa anil China ?hall rise up

Airita aim
in the day of Judgment to
demn us for. If the gospel had
been preached In those lands nH It
has been In this country, thous- ,?
ands would have been saved I
Where one has been saved here.
There is no excuse for any sin in
this community. Not one of you |
can plead ignorance of the light
and it is those who aln against the
M greatest light who will be called
^Lipon to face the severest Judu
^?r?nt on the last great day. "
The evangelist turned aside In
Ibe course of his sermon to cata
logue the critics snd enemies of
his campaign. Ho cited the re- |
suits of his work In other cities |
and said thst he could bring a
multitude of witnesses to testify |,
that ss s result of hli meetings
bootleggers, bums snd desd beats
bsd been saved snd hypocrites In
the church hsd been regenersted
So that their lives had become
fruitful.
"If I were to go down to your |

tell Its officers how to do their j
banking or If I were tt> go Into the
executive office of a grest rsllrond
system and undertake to tell Its
?ffleers how to run their rsllrosd
they would know I wsa a fool.
And yet some of you who hsve
