Leprosy and Pride in Naaman Cure by Elisha Sermon
A revival-era sermon turns the Naaman leprosy story into an allegory of humility and faith. Naaman’s pride blocks healing until he descends from his chariot and obeys Elisha’s Jordan bath, aided by a Hebrew captive girl’s counsel. The preacher warns against self conceit and urges washing in the spiritual “fountain” of pardon and grace.

Quacks and Cranks in Medical Critique
The piece contrasts medical quacks and cranks, noting quacks profit from false cures while cranks are well meaning but misguided.
