More Than an Event.
Dr. White said:
"The contest just closing has prov 1
more than an event; it is a move
ment. Wc boll♦-•vo Atlanta can bo
made the banner Bible school city of
the world. Ami the really greatest
part of the movement Is that it is
bringing the children back into thi
church service. There has been an
alarming decrease In the churches
everywhere in attendance on the part
of children at church. In my church
the Sunday school and the church arc
practically one and the same thing.
••Th- 1 contest has stimulated other
Sunday schools of the city and it U
estimated that the attendance has in
three months Increased from about
10.000 to 18.009. All the churches have
felt the effects of th* rivalry that has
spurred us on to enlarge our Sunday
schools, and the results will continue
to be felt. And. think of it. if the
c mtcsi can be arranged with the
Methodist schools there will be 60
organisations of men and w omen and
boys and girls nils led in a campaign
to make this the greatest of Bible

Well, the pony contest is on!
Of course, you saw th'> second cou-
on. good for five votes in The Geor
gian yesterday. Another appears to
day, and there will be a coupon worth
five votes every day in The Georgian
i until the contest closes, while in ev
ery issue of The Sunday American
there will be a coupon worth fifteen
votes.
Begin at once to save them.
Get yoor friends to *ive them for

And remember they must be voted
within fifteen days; otherwise, they
! are valueless.
But while coupons from the daily
and Sunday issues are worth saving,
and will help you to win one of the
Shetland ponies, with harness and
cart all complete, the votes for new
subscriptions are really what will de
cide the winners.
A subscription to The Sunday
American only for one month gives
the contestant 100 votes, while a sub
scription to the dally arid Sunday for
one year gives 3,500 votes. Subscrip
tions for intermediate periods are
carefully graded in value.
