DIR. DUNBAR H. OGDEN
 TALKS ON INFLUENCE
Large Attendance at Revival Services Being Held at First Presby-
 terian Church

Great interest is being manifested in the revival at the First Presbyterian church. which began Sunday, and last night the attendance was very large. Dr. Dunbar H. Ogden. pastor of the Gen. tral Presbyterian church at Atlanta, preached his first sermon last night. He made visible impression on the con- gregation.
 At the noon service yesterday Dr. John s. Foster occupied the pulpit. There was very good attendance and many busi- ness men were to be seen In the audi ence. It is stressed by pr. Foster that these services at noon will last only 50 minutes, closing at 12:5o without fall. Dr. Foster said he was pleased at the interest shown by business men, and says the time limit will not be exceeded at any service.
 Dr, Ogden's subject last night was "In- fiuenee." He made four strong points. He said that infiuence was inevitable, and that 1t was both conscious and un- conscious; that people put forth delib- crate effort through the influence of someone, and that unepnsclous effort also was put forth through influence
 His second point was that there was two kinds of influence, either spiritually uplifting or spiritually depressing. He Illustrated this with a number of things that had come under his own observa- ton and from Biblical, stories,
 The third point brought out by the speaker was shadows, that being related to influence, He said that shadows were always deepest over things which were nearest to them, He made q strong plea for the home, urging sne putting forth of much personal spiritual effort among those with whom one comes in contact.
 The fourth point he drought out was that shadows depended upon two things Light and substance, He said that If a mans heart was right with God the shadow he shed in the light of God would be right, but that if his heart was net right with God he would east a shadow offensive to the sight of God
