That “Go to hureh Day” certainly would result in n great movement that 1 would continue indefinitely was indi-j rated plainly in the text of the reso- j lutlon. “The standing commit tees.“ said Dr. Weathers, explaining the motion, “are to be charged w ith the duty of urging their church members to be regular J In attendance, and especially with! seeking out persons out of the church , and the stranger within the gates of i pledged t the community. ‘Go to Ghurch Day’ | jj av in bound to be the beginning of a big wave of regular church attendance in Atlanta.” Not a Dissenting Vote. And. as another minister put it: • We want to demonstrate that the churches of Atlanta are incapable of seating the people of Atlanta when they are roused to attend the ser vices in God’s house. That in itself will be a wonderful revelation to make to the people of this city- and it will give us all something to think about, and a definite object to work | for.” There was net a dissenting voice in the meeting Rather, the question was who should offer the most prac- ! tical suggestions for the spread of | the announcement of "Go-to-Church I Day,” and the best plan for continu ing its influence. Before the session convened, W. I P.

Original Name Retained. *1' H»re were plenty of brisk talks w hile t he motion wos being formulat ed. To a, •—•'as iort that "rally” be substituted for “Go t«» Church Day,” Dr. DuBose supported the original term, ns being of n wider significance. “The tei m ‘rally.’ ” he asserted, “seems to convey the idea of a gath ering of church members and church goers an Assembling of the congre gation. What we want is to get peo ple Into our churches on that day who haven’t been t.. church In a year —In ten years .who never have been to church at all I believe a perma nent habit of church-going will re sult in a gnat many individual in stances b\ a big outpouring to the churches of Atlanta on that day." And that was the sense <>f the meet ing the plan to assemble In At- By the courtesy and interest of the Rev. W. <\ Schaeffer, Jr., president ; of the association, the matter of “Go- * to-Churoh Day” was given an early place on the program, the ministers taking It up as the first business of the meeting. Mr. Schaeffer spoke briefly in favor of the movement, and then Introduced ft representative of The Georgian, who assured the meet ing that that newspaper was seeking no credit for the idea, which simply put forth ns a suggestion which the ministers of Atlanta had seen fit to take up with ft remarkable unanimity of favor. That showed very plainly in the manner In which the meeting took occasion to Indorse the movement and to adopt the resolution set forth previously. With the Indorsement of the Evan gelical Ministers’ Association, it may he taken for granted that the Atlan ta churches and ministers stand of Atlantans to all the church the city," was the way Dr. DuBose put It. And the meeting assented, with ac clamation. From many pulpits of Atlanta the "Go-to-Church Day” plan received commendatory notice Sunday. Pas tors urged their congregations to be come imbued with the spirit of the movement; to be at church on the day set and to see that other mem bers who may not have been regular in their attendance nre there also. Some of the ministers discussed the movement at length, going into the advantages of regular church at tendance and referring to the go-to- church 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 First Methodist Church. Dr. DuBose, ’.he pastor, said: “It is significant of a happier drift in public thought and conscience that. a spontaneous movement should lo .k toward a revival of churchgoing after the 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 w.-rthy the indorsement and supnorl of every broad-minded person. Such an effort, if pushed to success, will go a long way toward starting many In the settled habit of churchgoing, and 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 ..f Christianity.’' Large congregntions attended this w r.s church both morning and evening. “Splendid.” Says Dr. Jones. Before a large congregation at Grace Methodist Church Dr. Charles O. Jones, entering upon his third yeir as pastor, gave enthusiastic indorse ment to the “Go-to-Church Day.” He said: “It Is a splendid idea, and should 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 m? the same time there will be more! folks than seats. Rut it will be n fine sight to see people in the aisl ■- children on tl 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 j have entered readily into the plans j for a record das* In the point of i church attendance. It is safe to say that all of the | negro churches will be packed to the A plea for complete faith in God was the theme of Dr. Johnson's ser mon. “There may be fearful hearts here in old Trinity as to the future, but there are few.” he said. “The only- question to ask yourself is, ‘Has God put it into your hearts to carry* this work to a blessed end?’ That's all 1 a.sk of this congregation; just to put the question to your soul. I chal lenge you to give all of your faith to God, and He w ill work out our prob lems.*' Attendance Is Large. Despite the bad weather the huge auditorium of Trinity was filled at the morning service. At the conclu- doors on" Decrmber 14.'for many of | slon »''veral hundred persons remain these churches actually are making tetter 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 bv 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 ore 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 will surpass that of any other city of At lanta's size. If the experience of other cities is realized here, the in terest will be maintained for months following the “Go-to-Church Day.” ed to shake hands with the new pas tor. A large crowd heard a powerful ser mon by the Rev. Hugh K. Walker at the First Presbyterian Church Sun day morning on “For Our Citizenship Is in Heaven.” “We have, as has no other nation, a mass of humanity pouring in upon us each year and our task must be to see that the spirit that guides these coming citizens is truly i ’hris- tian. and in this the task that faces j America is greater than that of any Chamberlii i=Johnsoii=DuI lose Co.

An appeal for the dissatisfied part of the congregation of every church to rid itself of its dissatisfied feeling and Join In the wbrk of making the church great was made by the Rev. A. R. Holderby, the noted pastor of the Moore Memorial Church. Sunday morning. ' “Christian Unity” was his subject, and that there was not this spirit in even one particular church was his declaration. "The fact that a pastor has people in his own congregation who are op nosed to him and trpuld like to see him resign is no sign of itself that the pastor is not the right man for the place." he said. “Christ was the most popular being who ever came to earth and He was persecuted, criticised and slain. All persons who call themselves Christians are not of one heart, for there are some who will not partake of holy communion because of the presence of others. This is not only foolish, but an insult to Christ, w ho sat at tlie .sacramen tal table with Judas Iscariot, whom He knew- to be a devil. The devil comes to every sacramental table, and is present at every church ser vice.” Rev. Mr. Shuler in Stirring Talk. The congregation at the East Side Tabernacle was startled Sunday night when the pastor, the Rev. Al len C. Shuler, made the statement that many preachers and churches are getting away from the old teach ings and loaning toward the doctrine <<f Tom Paine, which so profoundly shocked humanity a century ago. “Sin and salvation, heaven and hell, blessing and banishment, are no longer popular themes for preach- er«.” lie declared. ‘‘On the contrary th -re are men. not a few. but many, all over the country, standing In pul pits as ministers of Christ, preach ing tlie very doctrine with w hich Tom Paine horrified Christendom a cen tury ago. And of the number who have not thus fallen away from the truth, only a small majority are speaking forth to the world the truth without apology. The greatest need of Protestant Christianity to-day is a baptism from above and a eonse. oration of the eternal truths of the cress and tlie blood." As several of the committees had hardly entered Into their work when the first report was made, the re sponse was regarded as highly satis factory and as promising generous subscriptions during the remainder cf the campaign. The committee chairmen will meet every day at the Piedmont and re port their progress. Each subcom mittee has been allotted a certain dis trict and given the names of sub scribers to the original fund for the rebuilding of Oglethorpe.
