Churchgoer Declares Conduct
of Singers Spoils Effective
ness of Sermons.
>
< hoir members trifling during the
sermon of the pastor of a prominent
, Atlanta Methodist church caused a
traveling man and worshipper in the
church to declare in a letter to The
, Georgian that they were guilty of noth
ing loss than disrespect to the minister.
. And in the communication the visitor.
_ who .signs his nam-' “The Stranger
Within the Gates.” declares that the
incident spoiled the solemnity of the
service.
Prominent churcngoers, when seen,
i were divided in their opinion as to the
j general behavior of ••hoirs in Atlanta.
Here is the letter to The Georgian:
Editor The Georgian:
It was my good fortune to spend
last Sunday in your beautiful,
prosperous city. It is a "revela
tion” to a Northern man to visit
Atlanta, the “Chicago of the South
( land.” Ido not believe there is
another city in the co|#itry of its
. size that can show the same num
ber of autos. Prosperity is appar
-1 ent on every hand, and every
Northern man will rejoice at At
lanta’s prosperity.
On the evening of last Sunday I
■ attended service in one of your
great Methodist churches. The
pastor was cultured, eloquent,
1 earnest. But I was pained to see
1 the disrespect of the members of
the choir. At the close of prelimi
nary- sen-ices to the sermon two of
the singers left the choir. The or
-1 ganist and two members of the
quartet remained.
Just at a point when the pastor
was striving hard to press home
’ great truths to his congregation,
1 one of the quartet (a woman), who
■ had been holding a lively- whispered
conversation with the organist,
also a woman, threw a. handker
chief over her face and rushed out
of the choir loft to enjoy her laugh.
The organist then turned her at
tention to the only remaining mem
ber of the choir, a gentleman, who
plainly did not enjoy- her attentions,
and kept up her whispering and
smiling, even through the prayer
following the sermon.
It was painful—truly it was. I
was surprised to see It in the South,
where, I have always been told,
that the very highest refinement
prevails. It certainly negatives the
splendid efforts of the earnest, cul
tured pastor of that great church.

MOTOR INVENTED BY
ATLANTAN IS ONE OF
SIGHTS OF THE SHOW |
That the Georgia School of Tech
nology is forcing itself on the attention
of the automobile world by the work es
its graduates ts shown by the local au
tomobile show, t ine automobile shown,
the Corbitt, is the product of the de
signs of an Atlantan and a Tech stu
dent. And one motor, the Ragan, which
has attracted most intense Interest. was
designed and patented by an Atlantan
and a Tech man—Ralph Ragan.
The Ragan motor is shown at tile left
of the main entrance to the Audito
rium-Armory and has Had had a crowd
in front of It every minute that the
show' is open.
The Ragan motor is a two-cycle mo
tor, in contradistinction iw the ordinary
automobile motor, whieh is four cycle.
The motor shown at th'e Auditoiium
develops 60 horsepower and weighs 2".">
pounds. An ordinary four-cycle mot >i

1.000 pounds.

is taken care of In auxiliary cylinders.
From these auxiliaries it is passed on
into the working cylinders and when it

And the wonderful thing about a
girls’ basket ball game is that she ha
all the accuracy, sometimes more, than
the man in throwing goals. The basket
ball is thrown always with tile peculiar
overhand motion that always distin

man’s. Roys have to learn to throw all
over again when the} take up baske:

On this account, while the girls could
never compete with a male team, on
account of the roughness, the}- are nev
