LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS
EVANGELIST'S FIRST SERMON
Dr. John Vines Captures Large Audi
ence In Flo to Church Membership
Made Tuesday Evening.
Using Peter's dellvorance from
prison as basis for his first sermon,
at the. Baptist revival Tuesday eve
ning, Dr. JoTin P. Vinos, of Roanoke,
Va made great plea for an active
church membership.
The church or Christian who Is pit
ted in warfare against Iniquity is cor
tain to be persecuted, said the evan
gelist Persecution brings one to his
kneos and prayer brings power, he
emphasised In a sermon studded with
Interesting Illustrations. His plea was
for active warfare against aln such as
Poter wsged but he warned that such
activity was certain to bring persecu'
tlon Just aa Herod heapod upon the
disciple. He then recalled the prayer
meeting of Christian's at Mary's home
pleading for tho dlsclplo's delivennce
and the miraculous striking oft of bis
bonds and breaking down or Iron gates
which released the prisoner.
Evangelist Vines is one of tho most
Interesting speakers heard here in re
vival services for a long time and his
sermons are so plain and so clinched
with Interesting Illustrations that his
hearen carry his thought away with
them.
Dr. Vines' subject for Wednesday
evening will be "Open Your Eyes."

REGISTRATION GN
TUESDAY SHOWS A
L0SS OF 1207
Only 1C2 Voters Are Registered at
Regular Registration Women
Show Practically No
Interest.
Both the Republican and the Demo-,
cratic parties showed heavy losses In
the general registration held Tuesday
in the city of Maysvllle. The total
registration shows a loss of 1207 from
the first day's regular registration in
1921.
This loss is explained by the regis
tration officers b the general lack of
interest and In tho failure of the
women voters to list themselves as
they did In 1921. In that year there
was iruch to create interest and to
brins i ut the vote. The approach of a
county election caused the leaders ot
both parties to have their complete or
ganization working and every voter
was ui jed to come out but this year
neither party had its organization
working.
