EVANGELIST Tells
PEOPLE OF SIN
Another Big Congregation Hears
DR.. Doolan at Baptist Church
on Wednesday Night

The attendance at the revival a
the First Baptist church is in
creasing daily. The building wa.
filled to capacity on Wednesday
night and the interest was in
tense. Anyone who was present
could not fail to feel the enthusi-
Iasm of the great crowd.
The exercises began with song
service and prayer by DR.. Homer
W. Carpenter, pastor of the First
Christian church, after which
Mrs. T. D. Chenault and DR.. O
DIN Green sang a duet-"He Was
Nailed to the Cross" which gave
the congregation a foretaste OF
the wonderful message which Dr.
DoOlan later brought.
He gave ali analysis Of the word
Sin from the Bible standpoint,
showing that the so-called small
sin IS just as much in the sight
of God as the more heinous crime.
How God is a just God and, there
lore, Furnishes the sinner; how
all men are sinners, yes. every
one OF us, and vet how God, Won
derful to say, loves a sinner, but
hates sin; how He so loved sin
ners' that He gave His only Son
to die as a ransom in their stead.
1t is the only chance man ever
had or VIII have to master sin. to
attain eternal lifc-the only hope,
the only opportunity ever offered
whereby we must be saved
from death. the grave and a hope
less eternity.
DIR. Doolan held the attention OF
the great crowd to the last word,
and his great sermon will not fail
to bring the result SO ardently de
sired by every follower of the
Master who was present.
The services will continue at
2 80 i'll the afternoon and at / sc
in the evening. Until further no.
ticc. Everybody is cordially i'll
vited to attend.

Is YEARS in PEN
MADE HIM HOMESICK

Frankfort, Ky, April I'll
Humming a song of his own
composition and smiling from
ear to ear, George Rollins, negro,
paroled from the Frankfort Re
formatory in February, voluntar-
lily returned there today. A few
days ago Rollins made his report
to the State Board of Charities
and Corrections in verse, telling
now hard it was to keep straight
and how we'll he liked his new
position.
He was paroled on February e
1921, to work in a hotel in Beat
tyville, but the lure of the prison
walls was too strong for the ne
gro and he told his employer that
he was going; back to serve out
his original sentence of six year.
According to his own story, he
simply could not get along with
his boss and the proprietor of the
hotel threatened to return him.
Rollins told prison officials that
he decided to save his boss the
trouble of sending him back, SC
he returned himself.
The negro was sentenced from
Fayette county in 1917 for rob
berry. Prior to his parole he
worked on the grounds at the
Mansion and Gov. Morrow was
instrumental in securing his re-
lease. The negro has served
more than quarter OF a century
in the walled city" and prefers it
to the outside world.
