“MORE MEN for RELIGION” “MORE RELIGION for MEN”
Glorious Climax of the Remarkable Eight-Day Campaign in Atlanta —Fred B. Smith and Biederwolf Break Hearts at
Mammoth Men f s Meeting—New Tone Given to “Religion For Men.”

FRED B. SMITH,
Organizer.
Just think of signs like this in the street cars:
“More Religion for Men—
More Men for Religion’’
Eight-Day Campaign
Feb. 25-Mar. 3.
Why not? We advertise everything else.
That’s what the people of Atlanta have been
reading right along with other “ads” during
these notable, stirring days.
Leading up to this eight-day convention
which was a veritable training camp for men as
practical workers for Christ “every day and
Sunday, too.” the executive committee, com
posed of stalwart Christian business men and
ministers, had met at 1 o’clock at Case Durand
for several weeks —met right in the heart of

their business demands day after day, as the
situation required—to plan for the great cam
paign that has just closed on the mountain
height with God.
The chairman of the committee has been John
J. Egan, a young business man, whose very life
of modest mastery over money and men make
him a moral and spiritual tonic to. the real
higher life of Atlanta. Side by side with Egan
has stood Marion Jackson, president of the
Young Men’s Christian Association, a promi
nent young lawyer who thinks more of his
client who needs no defence than of all his secu
lar business combined. Working with these
persistent, insistent, consistent leaders has been
Secretary Jackson of the Y. M. C. A., backed
by several dozen vigorous, unselfish business
men, every one of whom should he mentioned
and crowned. Beginniny February 25th, with
a stirring address to over 3,000 men at Brough
ton’s Tabernacle, on “The Square Deal,” by
Dr. Charles Stelzle, of New York, and closing
last Sunday with two mammoth mass meetings
for men —one at The Grand, addressed by Fred
B. Smith, the stalwart organizer of the “Men
and Religion Forward Movement” —the other
at the Tabernacle, addressed by W. E. Bieder
wolf, one of the sanest and most successful
evangelists in America, doubtless more men
heard the gospel and were blessed by it than
any Sunday afternoon ever witnessed in At
lanta before. While the masculine side of re
ligion was emphasized still hearts of strong men
were reached — positively broken and trans
formed by the power of God’s truth.
Atlanta will never be the same again!
One Woman—3,ooo Men.
From the beginning of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement, social service has been
stressed, and it has come increasingly to the
fore in all the campaigns. The addresses of
Charles Stelzle and Raymond Robbins have at
tracted especial attention. Now, at the Chris
tian Conservation Congress in New York, April
19-24, the practical problems which confront
the country and the churches will be handled
fearlessly by those who can speak with au
thority.
In order to challenge the attention of the
men of the nation with the man’s side of the so
cial evil, Miss Jane Addams, of Chicago, will
present this subject. Miss Addams has the
unique distinction of being the only woman
speaker at the Congress, and the only woman
admitted to its sessions.
Taft, Bryce and Bryan to Speak.
President Taft, Ambassador Bryce, and Edi
tor J. A. Macdonald, of Toronto, will speak
together on International Night at the Chris
tian Conservation Congress of the Men and Re
ligion Forward Movement, New York City,
