TRIUMPHANT TOUR
OF MANY BOOSTERS
INTEREST IS
INCREASING
Revival at Cumberland Pres.
byterian Church Being
Largely Attended.

The revival at the Cumberland
Presbyterian church continues to grow
in interest from time to time. We'd
nesday night Rev. Courtner spoke to
a much larger audience than on Tues
day night. The singing was very
much improved.
Notwithstanding the various attrac-
tons in the city Thursday night, the
attendance was the largest since the
beginning of the revival.
DR.. Courtner's subject for the
evening was "The World and the
Church., He used as a scripture
lesson Kings 10 1-13, taking the visit
of the queen of Sheba to Solomon as
the basis Of his subject. Comparing
the queen to the world and Solomon
to the church. He spoke at length OF
the queens visit from a geographical
and a financial standpoint. He spoke
of some of the hardships the queen
underwent in reaching Solomon that
she might ask him many hard ques-
tons.
DR.. Courtner is a very earnest
speaker and seemingly has at his COM
mand at all times such passages OF
Scripture as will confirm his state
ments, quoting them from memory
and always telling his congregation
where the passage quoted may b,
! found. .....
! His subject for last night wa
Heartfelt Religion" or is it possible
to know for a certainty that you are
truly regenerated?
So far Dr. COurtner has made no
propositions for membership and his
remarks have been confined more
especially TO the church.

ing built up for the surrounding
country.
