FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. Strong Preaching of the Old Theolo gy by Rev. L. A. Cooper-In terest Increasing. The meetings in progress at the Baptist church this city have steadily increased in interest since the initial meeting Monday night, when the Rev. L. A. Cooper, of Johnston, who is conducting the services presented the subject of the "Need of Revival" tak ing as his text the prophet's prayer "0 Lord. Revive Thy Work." Ser vices are held each morning at eleven o'clock. continuing just one hour. and in the evening at eight thirty o'c!ock. Each service is pre ceded by fifteen minutes of prayer, in the small rooms in the rear of the church. Mr. Cooper is an attractive preach er, attractive by his personality, by his sympathetic voice, and most of all by his simple and sincere earnest ness of purpose, manifested in every word and tone. His addresses ap peal to the reason and to the best emotions. His theology is the old theology that declares the Bible to be the very word of God, and from its declarations there is no appeal. With the preacher 'Thus saith the Lord- settles all controversy, and he backs up every statement that he makes with that word. His manner is gentle and loving, and he seeks to win not by denunciation but by love's entreaty. He does not talk much of "sins" but much of "sin," and the need of forgiveness. His morning addresses are to Christians, holding up before them the ideal life that they should live and showing them the way into it. The meeting will last for several days. There will be three services Sunday. ii o'clock and at 8.30 special services at 4.30 for men. Don't fail to Consult Dr. Crimm about your eyes. To Preach at Zion. Rev. L. WV.
