The First Methodist Church Sun day School of Americus led the entire state in its increase in attendance on Go-To-Sunday School Day. The fact has attracted attention in other states, and a proof of this fact comes in a letter from Joseph Carthel, of Nashville, Tenn., general secretary cl the Tennessee organization of Sun day Schools. The letters of Mr. Carthel and T. M. Furlow, superintendent of the local Sunday school, are: “Mr. D. W. Sims, General Secretary of the Georgia Sunday School Associ ation, enclose me a sheet showing the reports from 50 Sunday schools for Georgia Go-To-Sunday School Day. In looking over it, I see that the First M. E. Sunday School of Americus had 501 in attendance in 1915 and 1077 in 1916. This is a remarkable increase and 1 am sure that you have some in teresting facts which can be used to advantage and to inspire the Sundae School workers. “I will appreciate it very much if you will write me what has come to your Sunday School from observing Go-To-Sunday School Day. I want the facts to use in my speeches in talking about Go-To-Sunday School Day. Yours fraternally, JOSEPH CARTHEL, General Secretary.” “I am in receit of yours of April 19th making inquiry as to the good results produced by our Georgia Go-to-Sunday School Day, April 15th, in the First Methodist Sunday school, Americus, Ga. “Your information as to our attend ance being 1,077 is correct, it being considerably more than double our at tendance the year previous. The in terest manifested in our Sunday School and the attendance have been wonderfully improved and we attribute it very largely to the work that was done in connection with Go-to-Sunday School Day. “The greatest results are in evi dence in our Adult Department. There are a gerat many in attendance now who have not been in Sunday School for years prior to Go-to-Sunday School Day. This is especially true among the business men. Never in the history of the Americus Sunday Schoc.l have there been so many grown folks iu the Sunday school as today. This i;i a great measure we think is due to the earnest and enthusiastic word done in preperation for Go-tto-Sunday School Day. “I firmly believe that a day set apart in which every Sunday school in the : state is to take part, in a determined, I yet Christian effort to get people out I te Sunday school, is a great movement I . | for the Sunday school work I believe that this movement is going to do more toward increasing interest in Sunday school work in Georgia than anything that has been started in recent years. “With very best wishes to you and your co-workers in the great work of advancing the Kingdom of God. I beg tc remain, Yours very truly, T. M. FURLOW.” MEMORIAL HAT TO BE OBSERVED IN GREAT TRIBUTES '.Continued from Page 1.) Julia Van Riper, Mrs. J. W.

FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRINGTIME THAU ATLANTA, Ga., April 22—One hun dred thousand Easter lilies were con sumed in Atlanta in observance of the official opening of spring, and Atlanta florists did not fail to “get theirs" when it came to prices.

Roses also brought tremendously high-toned prices around Easter time, as well as other flowers appropriate to I the season.
