The Henry County Weekly VOL. XL. MASTER CHARLES LOW HAS BROKEN ARM. Young Son of Mr M. C. Low Had Painful Accident Tuesday at Noon. Master Charles Low had the mis fortune to break his arm in an ac cident Tuesday at noon. He and a number of other small bovs were coming from school and were playfully pushing each other into the ditch as they passed Mr. Floyd Hand’s place.

To get a large attendance in every Sunday School by using the order of service in making it a special day.

To make the Sunday School session especially attractive so all who attend will be interested and get a world-wide vision of Sun-; day School work. ; 3. To give the people who care to do so an opportunitv to make I a contribution tnrrugh th 3 Sm - day School which they attend to the Georgia Sunday School Asso- j c ition. THE PLAN. 1. The Executive committee of the Georgia Sunday School Asso ciation, representing the various denominations of the State,several months ago agreed to inaugurate a a go-to-Sunday School day in Georgia; the time agreed upon is Feb. 14th. 2. A responsive service has been prepared which will take about ten minut< s and will be fur nished free on request to any Sunday School W'Wnry county in such qu mities as desired. Send your request to the Geor gia Sunday School Association, D. W. Sims Atlanta, Ga. 3. O i this day all true Geor gians who stand for Christian cit jizensliip- are urged to do their uttermost to get a large number of people not now attending Sun day School to be present. Let it not be possible for any one in Henry county to say no man carolh for mv onl. To the Superimendent and Teachers. 1. Each of you, after reading this, get the people in vour Sun day School to decide the number you want to have present on Feb- j ruarv 14th. Then get each class in the School to agree on how j many of this number they will get for their respective classes, J and let the teachers, as leaders of tiie classes, keep every memberin the classes busy visiting and invit ing people to come to Sunday School. 2. Appoint a committee on ad vertising. It would be helpful to have some small cards printed, advertising go-to-Sunday-Sch..ol day. Use the telephone, personal letters, and most of all visit, (keep visiting.) 3. Manage to have several sub stitute teachers. Some of the regular teachers might be absent and you cant afford to have the visitor to be without a teacher. 4. To impress the importance of the Home Department of the Henry County Sunday School association to be present oh this date. 5. Nothing is more important than for the teachers to have well prepared lessons, so a square meal of the word of God, well sea- 1 soned with pepper and common sense, can be served at the regu- . lar teaching hour. 6.
