There were plent> of brisk talks while the motion w being formulat ed. To ft tiggcstion that 'rally” )>#» substituted for "Go to Ghurch Day.” Dr. DuBose supported the original • term, ns being of a wider significance. "The term 'rally.'" he assorted, "seems to Convey tin* 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 to 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 great 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 flu* plan to assemble In At lanta's churches on a certain day all the people of Atlanta T int "Go-to-Ghurch Day" certainly would result in a great movement that would continue Indefinitely was indi cated plainly in the text of the reso lution. "The standing committees," said Dr. W eathers, explaining the motion, "are to be charged with the duty of urging their church members to be regular in attendance, and especially with seeking out persons out of the c hurch, and the stranger within th** gates of the community. ‘Go-to-Gburoh Day' is hound to be the beginning «.f n big wave of regular church attendance in Atlanta.” Not m Dissenting Vote And. as another minister put it ' We want to demonstrate that the churches of Atlanta are incapable of Keating the people of Atlanta when they are roused to attend the ser vices in God's house. That in Itself will he a wonderful revelation to make to the people of this city add it will give us all something to think about, and a definite object to work for." There was not a dissenting voice in the meeting Bather, the question was who should offer the most prac tical suggestions for the spread <»f t he announcement of "Go-to-<'hurch Day." and the best plan for continu ing its Influence. Before the session convened. W ]’ Bovejoy. presiding elder of the Methodist church. Atlanta District, announced his position. "I don't see very well how I could be otherwise than heartily in favor of any proper movement to get people to attend church, either one particu lar da\ or on all church days," Dr. I.ovejoy said. Stimulant for "Regulars." "That is a very plain question pie should go to church. I think it certain that those who are regular attendants will he stimulated by the ... ■ aslon, vs hilt thoit who art n.»t regular in their Attendance or who do not attend at all will be vastly impressed by their visit, and that their contract with the church on this occasion will he the forerunner of a continued attendance." By the courtesy and interest of the R* \. \V. G, Hchaeffer. Jr., president pf the association, the matter of "Go to Church Day" whm given an early place on the program, the ministers taking it up ns the first business of the meeting Mr. Schaeffer spok* briefly in favor of the movement, and then introduced n representative of The Georgian, who assured the meet ing that that newspaper was seeking no credit for the Idea, which was simply put forth as a suggestion which the ministers of Atlanta had seen fit to take up with a remarkable unanimity of favor. * That showed very plainly In the manner In which the meeting took or.-aslon to Indorse the movement and to adopt the resolution set forth prevf »usly.

Not '.nod after December G. hurehes of Dr. Du Bose with ac- gelical Ministers' Association, It may he taken for granted that the Atlan ta churches and ministers stand pledged to the Idea of "Oo-to-Ghur* b !

"The thing now is to get together, give the day a great objective mean ing. and work for a grand outpriAiring of Atlantans to all the | the city." was the way put It. And the meeting assente (tarnation. From many pulpits of Atlanta tr.o “Go-to-Ghurch Day" plan received commendatory notice Sunday.

Dr. DuBose Lauds Plan. I "Go-to-Ghurch Day" was strongly ! put forward Sunday at the First Methodist Church. Dr. DuBose, .he 1 pasror. 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.” "Splendid," Says Dr. Jones.
