DR. h0WLlN ATTRACTS
 LA fCECROWDS
Revival Services at First Baptist Church. Continue to Grow in Inter- est-Fine Sermon Preached Last Night by Evangelist.

The Law of Spiritual Gravitation or Seeking Our Own. was the theme of strong sermon. preached last night by Dr. ". D. Nowlin, of May ileid, Ky, who is conducting re- markedly successful revival al the First Baptist church in this city The congregation is increasing in numbers each night and the attendance last night was the largest recorded since the revival meetings began
 That everything seeks it's own is true in the natural commercial. so- clal, business and religious wOrld,' declared the speaker While men love company, yOu can only bring them together when they have some element in common. The law of gray 1tatlon attracts all bodies only in pro portion to the matter possessed The natural law of grayitation does not apply to spirit or mind; it applies simply to bodies possessing matter What do we learn from this as ao- piled to religion? That all those who have common religious interest and common religious experience. will naturally seek their own. Those who claim to love the Lord Jesus Christ and the services in his house and who fail 10 attend the services when they have the opportunity, and who do not contribute to it's support when they can, are evidently mistaken in them selves. 1t is not always the strongest motive that controls a man, but men are controlled by the motive that ap- peals most strongly to them. And be- ing let go they went to their own company"
 The services at the First Baptist church last eneying were preceded by an enjoyable song service, rendered by the church choir. All of the choirs in the city are invited to take part in this service nightly. Dr. Nowlin's subject this morning at 10 o'clock will be Christianity Extending helping hand. At night his theme will be Does Religion Pay?"
