Louisville. Ky, president of the Ken

closed an address before the Presi

a stinging denunciation of "moral lep

"You fight these little animals, these
little plants, that cause disease, yet
there Is a big serpent, venomous, death
dealing, that is hugged and caressed
and treated by your daughters as
though It were the only thing In the
world, that Is more dangerous than all
of these.
"There Is a serpent, an animal, in

lives and send them into early graves.
I heard that great evangelist,' Gipsy
Smith, speak of them; 1 heard him
speak of moral lepers. I was proud
to hear him say he had no whisky
tainted blood in his veins. But I
yearned to hear him go one step far

"There Is but one disease mentioned
in the Scriptures as being handed down
from 'father to son. there Is bnt one
disease known to the medical profes

outnumber It by far. I would not
