* Athens as a Religious Center |
By REV. STANLEY R. GRUBB
v Pastor, First Christian Church. ’
- It has been said that the city of Athens grew pp
about the University of Georgia, and that this fact
has greatly influenced the character of her citizon.
ship. It may also be truthfully stated that Athens
grew up abouvt her churches, From the best infor
mation which the writer has been able to secure it
is certain that some of the older congregations in
our midst date their history from the foundutious}
of the city. Those who were prominent in the
educational beginmings were the organizers amdl
leaders of the older churches. The great educators
of the early days were great churchmen. So from
the very first the churches have exercised an im
portant and far.reaching influence on our commu
nity life.
~ The presence of the student body and the active i
participation of some of the educators in the work
of the churches has demanded the best leadership
which the various religious bodies have been able
to secure. It is doubtful if any city in the South-
Jand the size of Athens has had more able leader
shop in its churches than has been and is found
here. .
The religious bodies found in most Southern
eities have one or more congregations in this com
munity. The Southern Baptists and the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, are the two most numer
ous groups in our midst. The former has four con
gregations and the latter three within the city
fimits. The First Methodist church with its 1,400
eommunicants has the largest membership of any
congregation in the town. The Baptists have two
congregations with about 1,000 members each.
Both of these bodies maintain in addtiion to their
regular ministers, student pastors, who give their
t!me to the large student groups connected with
these brotherhoods. The presiding elder of the
Athens District of the M. E. church also resides
in our midst and is always interested In the relig.
sous work of the city. |
" Throughout the werld, where English is spoken,
there is no city of auny size where you will not find
an edifice, usually solid and often imposing where
a company of responsible citizens worship their
fii'e&tor‘ week by week according to the Presbyte.
fia manner. These people in Athens stand third
fi:mfint of number, and have two well organized
'_Wflons whose mlnis?ers have had long terms
»gm::e with them. ~
By many people the Protestant Episcopal
fik!iwh. with a liturgy that stands second only to
‘the King James version of the Bible in their minds,
s looked upon as the most dignified of all com
‘iimngons. This brotherhood is represented in this
city by Emmanuel congregation, which is one of
the older churches in the community,
Among the congregations that have grown up in
Jater years is the Christian church, the beginning
of which dates back only to the year 1887. This
body of believers here as elsewhere throughout the
_country has made a steady and sure growth until
today they are fourth among the religious bodies
of the city in membership.
- St. Joseph’s church, at the corner of Pulaski
and Prince avenue, is the place of worship for
those who prefer the Catholic faith. There is a
_resident priest who conducts the usual services of
ikh people.
. Athens has always numbered among its most
_substantiai citizens a large group of Jewish peo
‘ple. The synagogue is always open at the regular
times on the days when they have their worship.
. The colored people of the eity have a large
number of congregations and some of their leaders
are untiring in their efforts to serve their people.
~ In connection with each of the local congrega
. tlons may be found those organizations through
i ‘wwhich these chyrches seek to carry on their wor’:.
.~ The women’s societies do much missionary and
"~ Dbenevolent work. At the present time with the
~ financial stress that is upon us these groups are
e glving of their time and talent for the relieving of
ERncedy in a most commendable way. They have
ggßys done such work but now that the demand
l*ffigreaf they are measuring uyp to it in a fine
I?lrit. No group of churches anywhere has more
faithful servants of the Master than are to be
¢ found in th> ladies’ auxiliaries of our Athens'
~ churches.
._, Young people’s organizations—Christian Endea
| _¥or Societies, Epworth Leagues, and Baptist Young
= People’s Unions, give opportunity to the rising
i generation for the expression of their religious
%;%%fleflons and activities. These groups find every
«ahmourlgsment from the adult members of the
- churches. J
figm Bible schools of the city are well ‘organ
and graded. Capable and consecrated officers
#%Mem direct the work teaching the Word of
wto all who attend these schools. There are

A DEPLORABLE AND APPEALING
CONDITION
In the northwestérn section of this city
there is & group of families whose bread
winners or providers are out of emp_l_qy-
7iment. A-major portion of these families
\are in actual need for the necessities of
-|life. The condition under which they are
' living . was no making of theirs; it came
'labuut from providential causes over which
ithey had no control. Similar conditions
Jexist throughout the nation and in many
|sections, the condition is more serious than
'here, but the local condition is of such a
nature as to arouse and appeal to the
charitably inclined citizens of this com
munity.
{ Tt is true that aid has been disbursed
among these people, but not sufficiently
to relieve all from suffering. The churches
icivic and charitable organizations have
lcontributed liberally, but there is need for
addition= aid in the way of food supplies.
These unfortunate people are not itiner
fants nor are they objects of charity, but
lthey represent the great mass of indus
|trial workers who earn 2 living wage when
employed. They have been out of employ
ment for months: they have sought em
ployment in other fields in order to earn
& livelihood without becoming dependent{
‘upon others or upon organizations of 'a
charitable nature. All these people ask
for is work of some kind—work that will
‘nable them to feed and clothe their fam
ilies. Many of these people, men, women
and children are daily walking the streets,
}visiting the homes of citizens, stores and
other places of business and industry
seeking employment in order that they
may support themselves and their fami
lies. They are not asking for alms, but
they are willing to accept any kind of
honest employment in order to earh a suf
ficiency with which to keep body and soul
together. : : i i
It has been suggested that the City of
Athens; the County of Clarké and the citi
zens join in a movement to raise funds for
purchasing food for these people to be
distributed thrcugh scme suitable organi
zation in order that thouse deserving help
may be relieved. Not as a bread line or
soup house, but as a business organiza
tion. It should not be established as a
charitable enterprise, but as a business
conducted systematically, but without
profit. In some cases, these people might
be able to purchase a portion of their food.
In such instances, cost price should be
given.
The condition is one that deserves im
mediate action on the part of our people;
it is worthy and should meet with liberal
contributions. Those who are blessed with
the bounties of life will be rewarded for
their help in relieving the unusual condi
tions which, have caused the most trying
times in the lives of those who have been
unable to secure work for provding food
and clothing for their families.
The emergency is here—shall we
falter?
HELPING TO BUILD ATHENS
In a recent advertisement of the Geor
gia Power Company, appearing in this
newspaper, it was stated that Z 44 people
were employed by that company in Ath
ens, and the amount paid to these people
in wages and salaries amounted to $330,-
538.45. lln the state, this company em
ployes over 4,000 people, and with their
families a total of over 12,000, receiving
for their services $7,381,636.16.
. The Georgia Power Company is ore of
the largest property owners and tax pay
ers in Athens. Those connected with this
company here are numbered amcng the
most progressive citizens of the commun
lity, at all times taking a live interest in all
Imovements for the weltare and advance
‘ment of Athens.
’ Their slogan of “A Citizen Wherever
We Serve” has been lived up to in every
particular here. “It is Great to be a
Georgian”, and it is beneficial to Athens
to have this company located here.
| FOR BETTER DIPLOMATS
| The federal government has taken a
%long step forward by putting into effect
the provisions of the recently-enacted
]Moses-Linthicum bill, providing for a new
regime in the foreign service of the State
| Department.
. Under this regime, young men of mod
|est means can enter the foreign service
iwith the knowledge that their lack of
(private funds will not hamper them. Reg
iular salary increases are provided for ef
!,ficient workers, and living allowances will
‘make it possible for the young diplomats
to do the necessary amount of entertain
ing in fereign capitals without drawing
on their own funds. ,
Heretofore it has been hard for a man
to make & good career in the foreign serv
ice unless he had means of his own. This
lnew system should do a great deal to in
crease the quality of the nation’s repre
‘sentation abroad.

A general survey of Athens’ inlerest
is being made by the Chamber of Com
‘merce, and a plan looking forward to the
development and advancement of com
mercial and industrial enterprises is now
being worked out.

keep the wheels of progress turning.

| A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING
o' —NOT MUCH OF ANYHTING
{ BY HUGH ROWE
The fire chiefs of the South
eastern states will be the
guests of Athens this week.
Chief Lester and members of
the various committees for the
entertainment of the visitors
have arranged a most interest
« ing program.
These men come from several
wtates prepared to exchange much
information of value on the con
trol and prevention of fires. In
fact, these conventions are of ed
ucational value and are more of
the charatcer of schools than of
the convention type. Papers will
be read and round table discus
sionz held on ‘opics relating to
tire contrel. The sessions will last
for two days with every hour oc
cupied with a program of con
structive information.
Athens has been indeed for
tunate in fire control. No large
conflagrations have occurrced
in this eity in the last decade,
due in a great measure te the
efficiency of the department.
Chief Lester and his associates
are particulraly proud of the
splendid record of the Athens de
partment. These men are experi
enced and interested in their work
and co-operative in every move
ment for the improvement of the
service. The department is thor
oughly equipped with the latest
fire prevention machines which
adds much to reducing losses in
this city.
Mother: “Now behave your
self. What would your teach:
er say if you behaved like that
in scheol?”
Son: “Che would say: ‘Behave
yourselfl! Remember, you are not
at home now'.”
Hnudreds of students to the
University of Georgia Summer
School arrive today and to
merrow registration will begin
with classes opening Tuesday.
The prospects for an increased
attendsnce is most encouraging,
Entries have been received from
practically every county ‘in the
state, in fact there are less than a
dozen counties that are not repre
sented in this school. Dr. J. S.
Stwart, director, has worked faith
fully and energetically to build
this school to the rankine institu
tion of the South, in which ambi
tion he has succeeded most admi
rably.
It won’t be long now before
the football fans will be pa
rading down to Sanford field
for inspection of the prospects
so: a team for the coming sea
son. -
The *“aptown” coaches have all
the dope on things and are accom
modating to furnish information
as frlly and as colorful as desired
by fans, who are not informed.
However,, Coach Harry Diehre
knows his “stuff,” and &hen the
time arrives for praciice to com
mence, he will be there with the
goods. Prospects are bright for a
pennant winning seam, and a most
suecessful season.

What it takes to make a good

Wilkinson. “As this figtre can be

each of us, if concernea about
