ALL RECORDS BROKEN
Large Attendance fit Chris
tian Church Sunday Morn
ing Last.
Some three months ago,the Sun
day school of Christian church
placed a wooden clock on the
front of the church with figures
from 100 to 300 on it 's face •*
indicate weekly attendance. The
idea was to force the hands on
the dock to 1 lie 300 mark hy the
fourth Sunday in April.
Hy personal work, the writ in
of ess lys on “ffl’K CLOCK;" hy
other methods, a great intercsr
was soon noticahle in tin* Sun
day school attendance. Th old
and the young were determined
to move the hands gradually for
ward 'till the victory was won.
The general average of atten
dance for the past fourteen Sun
days has been two hundred and
four, hut the highfest mark reach
el was last. Sunday when flu
clock was to he taken down. In
der the personal supervision of

Fit st Christian Church,
Pastor Reeves and Supt. Mayne,
all forces rallied together last
week with the one aim in mind,
that being the reaching of the
‘.UK) mark before fh.e clock cane'
down. To the pleasure and sur
prise of all, the attendance on
the last day passed the desired
mark and went to four hundred
and one amid considerable inter
est and enthusiasm.
One of the features of the day,
was when tln> two oldest m-n
present. Dr. Lanier and Dr. Saul,
ders, two octogenariens, were
asked to stand while the young
est member of cradle roll, little
Miss Dorris llardigree, the three
months old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Poster llardegree was pre
sented to the Sunday school
These and the members of the
cradle roll present, were given
the Chautauqua salute.
Another factor worth men
tioning in this school is the at
tendance of sixteen officers and
teachers sim-e the first Sunday
in January. Only two have been
absent or late. One teacher was
absent one Sunday and one offi
cer was tardy.
An invitation was extended to
Messrs. R. (). Ross and J. W. Car
rington of the News force and
Mayor (\ M. Feguson. These gen
tlemen were on hand Sunday
morning, and in short addresses
expressed their delight at seeing
so great a Sunday school and the
interest manifested.
Tile idea has now gone the
rounds that five hundred shall
he the goal in the future and
but little interest is needed to
push tin* mark beyond that num
ber.
The News learns that there were
more than bOO attendants in the
city Sunday schools Sunday.
500 DELEGATES
Were J.n Attendance at the
Georgia Sunday School As
sociation at Elberton.
(By a Delegate)
A most enthusiastic meeting of
'
the Georgia Sunday School Conven
t.on was held in the First Metho
dist church at Elberton, April 22,
23rd and 24th.
Not less than To Eibertonians
m t the train Tuesday with car
riages and automobiles to escort the
delegates to the homes and hotels
to which they had been previously
assigned hy Col. Z. B. Rogers, who
met them in Atlanta and accompa
-1 nied them to Elberton.
The convention theme was “.Ser
vice.'’ With this idea in mind
-Service for Man, Church and God
was the motive Urged in every phase
of Sunday school work.
The music of the convention,
which is a most attractive feature,
was conducted hy Prof. E. 0. Ex
cell, of Chicago, Mrs. O. M. Pyron,
of Cartersville, and Mrs. 11. P.
Hunter, of Elberton.
Many prominent speakers in Sun
day school’work were on the pro
gram, among whom were \V. C.
Pierce, of Chicago, associate general
secretary of the International Asso
ciation of Sunday Schools; Joseph
Joseph Broughton, of Atlanta, Jno.
J. Eagan, Jno. I), Walker, Judge
T. E. Patterson, Mrs. James D.
Allen and Miss Flora Davis.
One of the most interesting ad
dresses was made by F. 1.. Mallory,
<>f Macon, on “Soul Winning in the
Sunday School.” A wave of ap
plause greeted the remark: '*l
would not allow a teacher in my
Sunday school who attends theatres,
plays cards or dances.”
More than five thousand dollars
was pledged the association for Sun
day school work the coming year
by Sunday schools and individuals.
Ware and Henry were the ban
ner counties in the state reaching
the standard of organization in the
past twelve months. This degree
of perfection was largely achieved
through the efforts of W. S. Booth,
chairman of the W are county con
vention, and J. T. Horton, chair
man of the Henry county forces.
Dr. Broughton, in speaking of
the marvelous growth of the con
vention stated that the lirst conven
tion he"attended fourteen years ago
opened with seven delegates, while
this, tht 1 BMo convention, opened
with nearly 400.
Due of the most thrilling features
of the convention, was the ten per
anee address by Willie D. Upshaw,
better known as “Georgia Cyclone’’.
The next convention meets at
Milledgeville, Ga.
Rev. J. A. Wood, assisted by
Kev. T. J. Morgan, is conducting a
tent meeting in the mill district,
and asks tlie co-operation of the
• hurches.

BAPTIST NEWS. I
First we want to congratulate our
brethren of the Christian church on
the great Bible school they had last
Sunday. Of course we are some
what envious of ‘heir numbers, hut
we believe that now the time has
come for them to follow suite with
us in grading and otherwise making
more efficient their school. Too we
are glad to hear that the Methodists
are contemplating similar progress
in their Bible school. Let such
continue until we have a thousand
at least in our schools each Sabbath.
In this connection we take pardon
aide pride in stating that on next
Sunday there will he presented to
our school the A-1 Award of our
Southern Baptist Convention’s Sun
day School Board which signifies
that relatively speaking ours is one
of the very best in all the South in
efficiency and accomplishment. We
an- wanting at least 200 present
next Sunday for that event. Then
at the 11 :30 hour the pastor desires
a full attendance of the deacons and
men of the church to consult con
cerning an all-important forward
movement, on which hangs largely
the church’s welfare.
Too, on that occasion will he pre
sented the advisability of organizing
a Young Woman’s Auxiliary.
Let us make it a great day.
Wesleyan Methodist.
Supt. W. E. Bray is very much
encouraged over the steady increase
in the Wesleyan Methodist Sunday
school. Taking in consideration
the small membership of this church
compared with the other churches
in the city no other school has a
larger attendance. However, the
officers are not satisfied with the re
sults, and they are putting forth
every effort to enroll many in that
part of town who are not members
of any Sunday school.
This is the greatest field we know
of in which to build up a school,
and where much work needs to be
done. The hour of the school is
JUk) and Supt. Bray asks tin* other
schools to co-operate with him and
help to make the afternoon hour full
of interest.
*
The school is putting forth efforts
to make rapid strides and will an
nounce the date of a rally soon.
Christian Chapel.
Rev. L. A. Winn, pastor of New
Christian Chapel, will deliver his
lecture “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”
to the men of his congregation at
the church next Sunday afternoon
at 15 o’clock.
This lecture was announced sev
eral weeks ago in the News, hut on
account of illness in Mr. Winn's
family, he was prevented from fill
ing the appointment. The meeting
will l>e for men only, and all inter
ested are invited.
