Discusses Men and Religion
Forward Movement in Nash
ville, This Week.
J. K. Orr. who with J. W. Patterson
and J. P. Jackson composed a commit
tee from the workers of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement In Atlan
ta to visit Nashville spd gain pointers
for the work In this city at the eight-
which has Just been
conducted In Nsihvllle, has returned
highly Impressed with the work, and
enthusiastic over the prospects of a
similar campaign In Atlanta. .
"This city Is considered the key to
the South by the trained national
workers of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, whom we met In
Nashville," said Mr. Orr. "and they be
lieve that If the reault* we hope for are
achieved here n great good will result
from the movement In every section
of the South."
Messrs. Orr, Patterson and Jhckson
spent the last three days of the great
campaign In Nashville. There they
wore In close contact with the na
tional worker* of the movement as
well as with the Nashville men. Tho
three gentlemen ore preparing a formal
report, which will be made to the re
cently named committee of 100 of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
at an early date. In this report they
wilt express their Impressions of the
rampalgn In Nashville and offer their
suggestions for the. work In Atlanta.
It’s Not a Revival.
The flret thing that t noticed shout
the campaign," Mr. Orr said,’ "I* that
It Is not a revival as we understand the
word. There was nothing of the usual,
preaching ' In the nature of ‘Join the
church now, for tomorrow you may be
eternally damned.' instead It was a
simple appeal to the men and boys to
live a straight, clean life, for which
they should reap their reward In this
world as well as In the next. That waa
one of the features stroi
the. happiness to result
thru a proper life.
"In another way. I am certain that a
great work was accomplished In Nash
ville thru the campaign. It brought
the churches closer together. It was eo
absolutely non-sectarian that It ap-
-pealed to members of the congregations
and to the ministers as well.
While an appeal was made to men
and boya to Join the church. It waa the
church, any church, not partlcularly
the Methodist church, the Presbyterian
or any other denomination. This work
for-religion, not for denominations, was
really effective.
The Work With the Boys.
Work of tha national leaders was
divided, the men going In teams and
handling the phases of the general work
upon which they hare specialised.
Great attention was attracted by the
work with boy*, and there the leaders
of the movement went direct to the
school* and talk with the pupUs
there. Meetings were held tn boys'
clubs end every effort was made to get
the youth of the city to attend the gen
eral meeting. The speaker* 'got next'
to the boys with direct appeals, and
tremendous enthusiasm resulted.
■The work In the shops was another
great' feature of the campaign aa a
whole. The national workers held
many meetlnga In the shops, but thtlr
mary object was to secure men as
ders. who were working there daily,
and thle they did. The employers gave
their enthusiastic co-operation because
they readily realised that the higher
the tpyo of a man's mind and Ideals,
tha better hla work will be.”
The committee of the Men and Relig
ion Forward Movement which visited
Aasnriiir Wa* composed only of mem
bers of the executive committee of the
Atlanta workers. Other members of
this executive committee Ore John J.
