Former Atlanta Pastor Takes Lead
in New York in Assisting
Young Couples.
WORK PROVES SUCCESSFUL!
Vestry. Turned Over to Flock for
Evening Meetings, Is Called
“Spooning Parlor.”
How a former Atlanta clergyman
has token a national lead in progress
ive thought concerning matrimony is
the story that mngazines and metro
politan newspapers are telling to-day.
He Is the Rev. John Gunn, formerly
pastor of the Central Baptist Church
of Atlanta, later of Macon, then su
perintendent of the Georgia Industrial
School for Boy*, and now a clergyman
in New York.
He has—
Made of his church n soelal center,
"where worthy young men and women
can may meet and find each other
out."
Announced that he will Introduce
young men of good character and
honesty of purpose to the young wom
en who, like them, are lonely for com
panionship.
Given over the vestry of his church
on Wednesday evenings to the young
people Vho are thus brought together,
that they, as he said, "may lay the
happy foundations for the deep and
joyous friendship between man and
woman from which the best marriage
springs* naturally." Tn New York this
institution has become known as the
"spooning parlor.”
Marriage Great Business.
All this Mr. Gunn has done in de
veloping his expressed policy that
marriage is the greatest business of
life
”And I want to further meeting,
friendship, love and marriage," h**
said, "and to have the church en
courage and aid the one great busi
ness of life—happy, sane, successful
marriage.
"The church should concern itself
primarily with the spirit, and next
with everything that affects human
life. And happv marriage b* the solu
tion of our gr< at sex problem. But
what I am thinking of now is to in
troduce the young people-—-to give
them a desirable list of acquaintance*
from whom they may choose friends
who may bring the spirit of com
radeship into their lives anil banish
loneliness. Then 1 want to give them
a place to meet—a place where, in re
fined surroundings, the best in the
friendship between boy nnd girl and
man and woman may bo brought ou*.
And the chanee« are that many happy
marrtnges will result.”
Mr. Gunn is not altogether a senti
mentalist. it seems. Here is what hi*
said about his practical view of the
question:
"Eventually we are going to get
things right. Wrong things can not
be perpetuated. The present awaken
ing of interest In eugenics, dealing
with cause rather than effectu, i» a
hopeful sign.
"None too soon we are beginning to
apply scientific methods to tin* most
vital and delicate problems of life
Love, courtship nnd marriage have
too long bef n regarded as merely sen
timental and accidental matters. I
would not do away with sentiment,
but sentiment must not phut l tv * ves
against the light of science Romance
and science need to become intimate
companions. Cupid must fnmlliariz*
himself with the facts of science.
Institution Is Success.
"We need a r* vival of the old Ideals
of love, courtship, marriage, home and
children In the light of n modern
science.
“I am not a theorist T have seen
much of the practical side of life, and
1 realize that this Is a material age ir,
which we are living. That my plan
to bring honorable n >ung nun and
equally sincere vour.g women to
gether that matrimony nviv perhaps
result is practical or ‘workable.’ so to
gprnk. I am convinced."
Already success lias attended the
progressive institution which tips
Georgia clergyman has established
At least. It has attracted widespread
attention And he has said that it is
prod in‘ing material results.
"Brief though the time has been
since the fact of my plan becam*
public,” he said, "and although its
features have become known to but n
few as yet, comparatively speaking
still it might surprise the public to
know the number of young men.
bright, keen, well-educated young
fellows, many of them holding busi
ness positions of more or less respon
sibility, who have come to me in con
fidence and expressed their desire to
meet sincere, capable, young women
of high principles in whom they might
find wives.
"In my opinion, the most important
question of our present-day civiliza
tion is that of sex. Sex is the spring
of life. If the race fails in the sex
relation, it will fail in every other re
lation.
Thinks It Pastor’s Duty.
"Why, then, should not a minister
of the Gospel, whose mission it is
to help bis fellow man, make even a
better citizen of him in a Christian-
like wav, and bring increased happi
ness to good men and women?
"Can there b** any reasonable ob-
toctl »n thereto? If there is, where
is it?"
Mrs. Gunn, who is known to many
Atfantans. is an enthusiastic second to
her husband’s efforts. Their home at
No. 232 West Eleventh street, the
newspaper and magazine articles say.
Is "a real home .” Mrs. Gunn talked
of the difference between the asso
ciation which their plan provides and
the only other association left for
many boys and girls -that of the
parks and the public pleasure resorts.
"Two things occurred to me at
once." the interview quotes her as
saying. "That a iris need a ‘big s s-
ter’ to explain to them that the man
who makes love is not always in love,
and that if girls must express affec
tion. how much better it is for them
to have a sanctioned place to grow
into their love stories under proper
chaperonage. So my husband’s the
ory, in which 1 heartily agree."

Churchman, Whom Officers
Say Was Intoxicated.
PENSACOLA, Aug. 2. —The Rev.
Mr. Doyle, one of the best known and
most popular pastors in this city, is
in the Pensacola Sanitarium, where
he is said to be in a serious condi
tion, suffering from mental aber
ration, following his arrest in a gam
bling raid in the Pastime Club, of
this city, on Sunday morning, July
20. The story of the raid caused a
sensation when it became known
that Father Doyle was among those
arrested by the deputies who unex
pectedly walked into the club shortly
before daylight and took about forty
men in custody charged with gam
bling.
None, or at least few, of the friends
of the pastor had seen him since the
affair and it was generally supposed
he had left the city. It has just been
learned that he is In the sanitarium
and that he has, apparently, lost hi^
mind.
It is also claimed by the deputies
who raided the club that the pastor
was Intoxicated at the time the
raid was made.
Although the story has not been
printed in either of the local news
papers, it has spread throughout the
Law Enforcement Leaders Will
Await Decision of Supreme
Tribunal in Test Case.
MACON, Aug. 2.—It has been de
cided by the Law Enforcement
League to await the action of the
Supreme Court before proceeding fur
ther with injunction cases against the
saloons and social clubs of Macon.
Judge Mathews has granted a per
manent Injunction against Ed Cas
sidy, who was proved to have sold
hundreds of bottles of whisky at his
saloon. Cassidy made no denial of
the fact. The court held that the
internal revenue tax license Is prima
facie evidence of guilt as a blind ti
ger, and that a blind tiger is a pub
lic nuisance, subject to abatement
upon petition of citizens.
The Law Enforcement League has
evidence of whisky sales against 34
saloons, and it wag originally contem
plated to apply for injunctions against
all of them. However, a decision of
the Supreme Court will determine the
future course of the league.
The saloon men are greatly agitat
ed over the outcome of Cassidy’s case,
and several of them openly sjtate their
purpose of retiring from the business.
Their association has raised a fund
of several thousand dollars with
which to fight the cases.
The charges of contempt against
four of the saloon men for selling liq
uor after being enjoined were post
poned until next week.

Dissension Is Cleared.
CARTERSVII.T.IC. Aus. 2.—The Sam
Jones Tabernacle meeting, an annual

Friends Work for Contestants,
Too, and a Big List Can Be
Gained With Slight Effort.
"I have used Georgian want ads for
five years or more and they always
have brought me prompt results,” said
a Whitehall street woman Saturday
to one of the want ad contestants. "In
that time I have needed a new cook
at least a dozen times: I have had
rooms to rent, have desired to sell or
exchange certain pieces of furniture,
have wanted to lease a more desirable
home. And in every case the want ad
ha>* brought me replies promptly and
I have secured what I wanted. I am
glad to give you three lines to-day,
asking for a» house girl.”
That’s the kind of reception our
contestants are getting. There Is
hardly Anybody in Atlanta who has
not a want a Georgian or American
want ad would supply.
But It Is not all house-to-house
work. Contestants can have their
friends help them by sending ads di
rect to the office and voting for thell
favorite contestants. Thousands of
votes can be secured without effort on
th* contestants’ part If they will
merely let their friends know they
arc in the contest and want the votes.
It is an excellent opportunity for
stenographers, bookkeeners, uptown
workers of any kind wl/ are in touch
with business folk. Real estate men
and other business firms use thou
sands of Georgian classified ads and
their votes for you will run up into
big figures if you’ll enlist their aid.
The contest is just ripe for others
to enter with a good chance of win
ning. The want ad man is anxious to
explain the system and give you every
detail if you’ll call and see him Mon
day.
“MY COUNTRY COUSIN,”
OFFERING AT BONITA, IS
REAL LAUGH PROVOKER
"My Country Cousin,” the offer
ing at the Bonita next week, is one
of the funniest comedies seen here,
and it is in the hands of capable
players. In fact, it is a scream
from start to finish. It is worth
the price of admission to see the
beauty chorus and their dancing.
They can sing, too.
The Bonita plays to perhaps the
largest crowds of any little play
house in the South, because the
shows are good. See for yourself.
Original of Stanslaw’s “American
Girl” Is Literally Captured at
Marriage License Window.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The old
adage, "Faint heart never won fair
lady,’’ was never more forcibly illus
trated than in the announcement that
Miss Hannah Arline Berlinger, one
of the most famous artists’ models, is
to wed Ronald .1, .YlcKinnon f mu
nicipal contractor, in October, the
exact date not yet being set.
The circumstances leading up to the
engagement read like a page from
one of the day's “best sellers,” the
only essential difference being that
they are facts, while the other is
fiction.
Mr. McKinnon was walking one
day in Brent ami’s studio, at Fifth
avenue and Twenty-eighth street,
with a friend, when he saw a picture
of Miss Berlinger by I’enrhyn Stans-
law, the artist. He remarked to flis
friend that from then on the ambi
tion of his life would be to meet the.
original.
Repeatedly Views Picture.
The matter passed from his friend’s
mind, hut not so with Mc Kinnon. He
visited the gallery repeatedly to gaze
on the picture and finally confided
his attachment for the picture to a
second friend, and asked the latter
to visit the studio with him.
This tip. friend consented to do,
and on seeing the picture informed
McKinnon that he knew the young
lady well and would secure an intro
duction for him. The presentation
followed and immediately McKinnon
took his place in the young lady's
train of admirers.
On July 9 last. Miss Berlinger ac
companied Mr. McKinnon to the city
hall on a matter of business. While
there Mr. McKinnon suggested there
was no time like the present, and
proposed they gel their marriage li
cense then and there, thereby saving
the necessity of another trip. Miss
Berlinger consented and the license
was secured without any publicity
being given the fact. Several days
later alert newspaper men, scanning
the license docket, discovered the li
cense. and hence the story.
Original "American Girl.”
Miss Berlinger, who is 23, is con
sidered one of the most famous, if
not the most famous, models of the
day. She is the original of Stans-
Irtw's "American Girl” and is also
known as the “American Beauty."
She has posed for such noted artists
as Gharles Dana Gibson. Harrison
Fisher, and is responsible, in a great
measure, for the success of Clarence
F. Underwood. Mr. Stanslaw has
painted her picture, which he is to
enter in the International Beauty
Contest at Paris this fall, and has
great hopes of winning first prize.
Miss Berlinger is also the girl on the
Armour calendars.
