NTEREST IS When thf Evangelical Ministers’ \ssoolation of Atlanta met Monday I, Wesley Memorial Hall, the pro- „, OT i to Indorse "Go-to-Church Day" in( j to lend the aid of the association n filling to the doors every church In >te ity on December 14 was one of t njpf matters for consideration. \ unanimous vote In favor of the movement virtually was assured, as (l ,rv minister at the meeting who ad expressed an opinion had de arer! himself enthusiastically for tile The date, December 14, has been found acceptable to all of the min- siers, and, although "Go-to-Church Day" i» nearly two wee’ distant, most of them actively have set to work to arouse their congregations to the significance of tile movement and to the necessity of gettir.; out record- breaking attendances at both the seivlces on thuf day. Accurate Count To 3e Made. The plan proposes that each pastor Shall delegate several church mem-. oers to make an accurate count of all hose at the services, reporting to him as soon as the count Is made. A return postal card will be sent to .very minister in Atlanta, and on this re will make renort of the attendance »t each of the two services and mail . • a, once, so that an immediate com pilation may be made. FYom many pulpits of Atlanta toe Go-to-Church Day” plan received . ommendatory notice Sunday. Pas- ,.i- urged their congregations to be- unie imbued with the spirit of the movement; to be at church on the in set and to see that other mem bers who may not have been regular n iheir attendance are there also. Some of the ministers discussed e movement at length, going into t he advantages of regular church at- i enhance and referring to the go-to- hurch plan as a powerful stimulus of attendance and interest in religious work. Dr. DuBose Lauds Plan. Go-to-Church Day” was strongly put forward Sunday at the I’ irsi Methodist Church. Dr, DuBose, ine pastor, said: It is significant of a happier drirt .n public thought and conscience that t spontaneous movement should look toward a revival of churchgoing afrer :he manner of an earlier zeal and faithfulness. "The subject is worthy a profound and earnest inquiry, as the effort to deepen interest in churchgoing is worthy the indorsement and support of every broad-minded person. Such an effort, if pushed to success, will go a long way toward starting many In the settled' habit or chaychgoing. an 1 will give an instant and lasting im petus to the religious and ethical con cerns of our people, resulting in a purer public sentiment, a healthier social atmosphere and a more genu ine respect for the sanctity of the Sabbath and the other institutions of Christianity.” Large congregations attended th.s ■ liurch both morning and evening. “Splendid,” Says Dr. Jones. Before a large congregation at Grace Methodist Church Df. Charles O. Jones, entering upon his third year as pastor, gave enthusiastic indorse ment to the “Go-to-Church Day.” He said: “It is a splendid idea, and shou.d catch like fire on a Texas prairie. For everybody, saint and sinner, to go to church at the same hour, for the rich and poor to sit together !n the same pews, will suggest high thoughts, soften class relations and make men realize that there are more important things than commerce, and politics, and war with Mexico, such as neighborliness, unselfish service and obligations to God. "The only objection.” he added. * Is that if everybody shall go to church at the same time there will he more folks than seats. But it will be a fine sight to see people in the aisles, children on the altar steps and ‘stand ing room only’ occupied by reverent worshipers.” The Rev. A. M. Hughlett, of St. Mark Methodist Church, called at tention to the movement at both ser vices and made a plea for the hearty co-operation of the church members. In addition to this, the Rev. Mr. Hugh lett this week will send out a per sonal letter to every member on the church roll, making an Individual ap peal. Negroes Interested. The colored ministers of the city have entered readily into the plans for a record day in the point of 1 hurch attendance. It is safe to say that ail of the negro churches will be packed to the CASTOR l A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought doors on December 14. for many of these churches actually are making a better showing on percentage of church members present at the regu lar service than are the white churches. The reports that will be turned in by the colored churches will swell the totals by thousands. A number of the ministers in both the white and colored churches have devised the plan of increasing the in terest in the day by making consid erable notice of it during the Sunday school exercises, as well as in the. church services. An increased church attendance ordinarily works for a larger Sunday school and for this reason the Sun day school officers are heartily in fa vor of the movement. Indications are that an attendance will be brought out that will tax the capacity of every church In Atlanta and that a record will be set that wifi surpass that of any other city of At lanta’s size. If the experience of I other cities is realized here, the in terest will be maintained for months following the “Go-to-Church Day.” All Around The Town Little Facts and Fancies About Well-Known Atlantans.

Friends of Fred Houser, the secre tary of the Atlanta Convention Bu reau, are just finding out why he is so conspicuously silent whenever anybody begins talking about what happened on the last lap of the re cent industrial excursion staged by the Chamber of Commerce Industrial Bureau. He is loquacious to the nth degree on all subjects pertaining to the first heat of the excursion—until the said excursion got a/ far as the Atlanta Steel Works. From then on he Is as silent as the proverbial grave. And here is why: One of the ! greatest desires Houser lias ever had has been to see somebody nak- I ing nails, and he never had a op- i portunity before the industrial ex- | curslon took in the steel plant. So when the crowd detrained to inspect i the steel works. Houser hied himself i to the nail department, where he gloated so long and enthusiastically that he was still gloating when the train pulled out—without him. Though lie insists he didn’t, it is a i matter of common knowledge that he j walked a mile to catch a street car. Thomas E. Penland, the genial head bookkeeper of the T. R. Saw- tell Company, who lives at No. 7<> i Washington street, has two distinc tions these days that mark him as | radically different from the ordinary mortal. In the first place he's about the only man In Atlanta who had a Thanksgiving turkey and forgot to eat it—or' anything else. And then he’s the father of the bounc.ingest of bouncing baby boys. The second is the cause of the first. The little stranger arrived early Thanksgiving morning, and was promptly named Thomas E.. Jr.; and then Thomas E.. Sr., assumed that expression of beatific joy and price that always ! marks the new father as a man among men. He had a wonderful turkey—with mine eyes I saw it and know it to be so—and he had it all roasted and stuffed until it was a culinary triumph. But he was so busy admiring the new heir to his name and fortunes that he didn't eat a bite all day. To paraphrase: Father was so happy he was dan cing with Joy: All he could say was, “Gee! I’m glad it’s a boy!” W. H. Leahy, secretary of the In dustrial Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, Is getting his head filled with figures these days. He's pre paring a booklet on Atlanta's banks, and he says lie neer knew how much money there was In the wbrld until he got hold of some of the financial statements of ioca! banks. The book let will contain histories of all the banks in the city, together with fig ures showing their resources and ! growth. Billy Quarles, who is one of the ' high-class employees of the Fain A* ! Stamps Wholesale Grocery Company, never drinks a drop of anything stronger than coffee, and the other night when the firm’s employees had a banquet at the Piedmont, his pro- j hibitloniftic tendencies were paid i marked tribute. They gave him a i baby bottle full of milk, with lnstruc- t tions to go away off by himself and get “soused.” But AVilliam fooled them all. He’s got a young son out at his house who just dotes on milk, and few of his fellow employees knew anything about the youngster. So instead of being real devilish and getting on a “milk jag,'’ he took the bottle home and let “George do It.” THU, ATLiAJNTA UUAmUJAJN AjSIJ JNUiVVK. m CARNEGIE'S HAND IS ASGOOD AS EVERAT 79 NEPIESMIID City Officials, Business Men and Ministers Present—Exhibit to Run Util December 15.

Turner that likely will be carried to Council will be launched at a special meeting o fthe City Board of Electrical Control Monday by Aldlne Chambers, meeting of the City Board of Electrical Company. Chambers said Monday that Turner’s attitude toward the company was so discriminatory that he believed there was some important motive behind it and that he intended to try to de velop this motive before the city offi cials. “Turner is trying to put the Cotton States Electric Company out of busi ness.'’ said Chambers. “Since the Board of Electrical Control annulled his revocation of the company’s license he has resorted to every means of perse cution of the company he couid im agine •If that isn’t a crime against the principles of our government, I don t know how a man could commit one. Egg Famine Menaces Christmas Time ‘Nog’ THOMASVILLE, Dec. 1.—Those who think Christmas is not properly celebrated without the time-honored eggnog are uneasy lest there be no fresh eggs, because of an egg famine in this section. They can still get the “nog" part from neighboring States, where liquor laws are less stringent, but It looks now as if they may be obliged to go against custom and leave out the egg. Connoisseurs say eggnog is not good when made with shipped or storage eggs.
