GREAT FORCE BY DR. DOOLAN

salvation for the lost with great

Leonard w. Doolan, of Hopkins
vile, who is holding revival ser
vices at the First Baptist church
His argument for acceptance o
the Savior is absolutely unans
werable. He makes the divine
plan for redemption of a SHINE
and a lost world, SO plain anC
easy that even the veriest child
may understand. Truly he is ;
man of God, ordained to bring
great good and much happiness
through his remarkable power
with the spoken word.
DIR. Doolan is doubly welcom-
ed to Richmond. He is being
greeted with warmth and wei
come by many who knew him as
a college boy at old Central Uni
verSity. knowing him as a rarely
endowed student and scholar, few
have been surprised to find him
the talented exponent of the re
ligion of his Master that he is
daily proving himself.
Many have wondered about his
church home at Hopkinsville.
That it is. one of the largest and
most enthusiastically working
congregations in a town Of its
size anywhere in the country is
not to be wondered at with such
a leader. The Hopkinsville New
Era had mention of it and its
work a few issues ago, that may
be read with interest here, now
that DIR. Doolan has been among
us, and has so impressed his di-
vinely inspired personality upon
us all. The Daily New Era
said:
Yesterday was high day in
Zion here, especially among the
Baptist brotherhood. Services at
the First Baptist church were
thronged at all hours. The pas
tor remarked on the coincidence
that the total attendance in the!
Bible School was exactly the
number for the date of the year
of his birthday. But both he
and Superintendent Ware told
our reporter that they would not
be satisfied until the attendance
equalled the number which we're
baptised on one day (July 5,18/8)
i'll the Telugu Mission field-that
is 2,222.
Even as it is, however, this
School leads all Bible Schools i'll
this state in numbers, dit
would seem, also in efficiency It
long ago outStripped the LeXing
ton and Maysville schools, tho
the latter held the palm for years. !
Both the enrolment and attend
ance here have doubled i'll the last
year and there has beenmorethan
four times as many accessionS TO
the church membership as the!
church ever had in any one year
before.
When asked the reason for
such exceptionally splendid sue
cess, Mr.. Ware stated that there
were really several reasons and
he scarcely knew which to put
first. The superb cooperation of /
all teachers and officers was I'm
doubtedly large factor, as
when everybody works and no
body shirks" success is always
sure. This spirit is further ex-
planned, he said. by the fact that
practically all of the Il teachers
and officers hold diplomas as
Kings Teachers" in the South
ern Baptist teacher-tra1ning
course. Moreover, the church
has now properly provided for its
school by its great 10th century
workship and worship-place in.
which each of the six depart /
ments of the school has its own
assembly room and class rooms
SO that the highest efficiency is
for the first time possible. In fact,
SO attractive and delightful are
the quarters for all departments
of the church work Sunday
School, Young People of all ages
Missionary Circles for both wo-
men and men, and Prayer Meet
ing and Social purposes, that al
ready even this superb plant i, /
almost taxed to take care of the
Masters work.
At this point the pastor came
up and in answer to our report i
er's questions stated that, as al
great Sunday School and church
always stand or fall together, sol
the church life as whole is alsol
now at a high tide of prosperity !
Referring to the fact mentioned
by Supt. Ware that there haveI
