Films to be Shown
in Advertising Campaign.
Atlanta, Sept. 14.—The “Know
Georgia” motion picture films,
prepared as part of the education
campaign of the Advertise Geor
gia Enterprise,' were started on
their tour of the state this week
and will be shown within the
next two months in nearly every
motion picture theater in Geor
gia. The series consists of ten
reels, divided into one-reel fea
tures, and the pictures will be j
shown as an addition to the regu
lar programs in the theaters.
The pictures, it is believed,
will prove of unusual interest to
Georgia folks, and give them a
new realization of what Georgia
has to offer to the prospective
home-seeker. Every part of the
state is shown in these pictures,
from the ports on the sea-coast
to the mountains in the North,
with examples of modern agri-;
cultural progress, scenes of his
torical interest and other fea
tures.
The films are being supplied
the picture theaters by the Ad
vertise Georgia Enterprise, which
is now engaged in raising a
a $300,000 fund for advertising
the state’s advantages in the
great national periodicals and
bringing home-seekers to invest
in Georgia lands. Governor
Dorsey began this week a tour of
the state which will cover every
section and will speak on the ad
vertising plan in thirteen cities
and towns.
Card of Thanks.
Mcßae, Ga., Sept. 15th, 1920.
To the People of the Oconee Cir
cuit:
I am profoundly grateful for
your expression of confidence.
All over the Circuit I met with
cordiality and hospitality, and,
since the race is over, I wish to
publicly thank you for same and
to also especially thank my many
friends without whom I could not
have been nominated for their
loyal support. Os course some of
the campaign canards hurt me,
yet I avoided criticism of my es
teemed opponents. Now, as the
smoke clears away let us forget
the heat of battle and all pull
together with one accord for a
healthier sentiment for law and
order. Sincerely yours,
Eschol Graham.

The Upper Room or
The Supper Room?
(The following article from the
Christian Index was recently
sent The Monitor by a reader,
with request for publication. It
contains food for thought.)
The early church prayed in the
“LfppeV Room;” the twentieth
century church cooks in the
“Supper Room.”
Today the Supper Room has
taken the place of the Upper
Room! Play has taken the place
of Prayer, arid Feasting the place
of Fasting. There are more full
stomachs in the church than
there are bended knees and
broken hearts. There is more
fire in the range in the kitchen
than there is in the church pul
pit.. When you build afire in the
church kitchen, it often, if not
altogether, puts out the fire in
the pulpit. Ice cream chills the
fervor of spiritual life.
The early Christians were not
cooking in the Supper Room the
day the Holy Ghost came, hut
they were praying in the Upper
Room! They were not waiting
lon tables; they were waiting on
I God. They were not waiting for
I the fire from the stove, but for
| the fire from above.
They were detained by the
command of God, and not enter- i
• tained by the cunning of men. j
They were all filled with the Holy i
Ghost, not stuffed with st.ew or j
j roast.
O, 1 would like the cooku.gj
| squad put out, and the praying
i band put in. Less ham and sham j
and more Heaven. Less pie and j
| more piety. Less use for the i
cook hook and more use for tin-'
Old Book. Put out the fire in the |
, church kitchen and build it on ;
the aitar.
More love and more life. Few- j
1 er dinners and get after sinners.
Let us have a church full of j
waiters on God, a church full of!
servers, serving God and waiting
for HiS Son from Heaven.

of the World. )
