Resolved, That each pastor on that day appoint a standing com mittee. to be designated as the ‘‘churchgoing committee,” whose duty shall be to solicit from time to time the regular attendance <»f the members of that particular church, as well as those who are not members; also to seek out tlv strangers of the community, cor dially Inviting them to the house of God, and notifying the pastor that he may visit them Resolved. That the services of o ir several churches on “Go-to-Church Day” be made attractive by good, live spiritual singing and spiritually interesting sermo. s. Original Name Retained. There were plenty of brisk talks w h!!i> the motion M being formulat ed. To a suggestion that "rally” be substituted for "(Jo to Church Day,” Dr. DuBose supported the original term, as being of a wider significance. ‘‘The term ‘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 got peo ple into our churches on that day who haven’t been to church in a year —in ten years who never have been lo church at all I believe a perma nent habit, of church-going will re sult in a great many individual in stances by a big outpouring to the churches of Atlanta on that day.” And that was the sense of the meet ing the plan to assemble In At- ATTENDANCE lanta's churches on a certain day all the people of Atlanta Thai ”Go-to-t ’hurch Day” certainly would result In a gnat movement that would continue indefinitely was indi cated plainly in the text of the reso lution. * ^ “The standing committees," said Dr. Went hers, explaining the motion, "are to tie charged with the duty of urging their church members to be regular In attendance, and especially with seeking out persons out of the < hurch. and the stranger within the gates of the community. ‘Go-to-Uhurch Day’ Is hound to be the beginning of a big wave of regular church attendance in Atlanta."

There was not a dissenting voice in the meeting. Rather, the question was who should offer the most prac tical suggestions for the spread <»f the announcement of "Go-to-Uhurch Day." and the best plan for.continu ing its influence. Before the session convened. W. T\ Lovejoy. presiding elder of the Methodist Church. Atlanta District, announced hifc position “I don’t see very well how 1 could he otherwise than heartily in favor of any proper movement to get people to attend church, either one particu lar day or on all church days," Dr. Lovejoy said. Stimulant for “Regulars." "That is a very plain question people should go to church. I think it certain that those who are regular attendants will he stimulated by the occasion, while those who are not regular In their attendance or who do not attend at all will he vastly impressed by their visit, and that their contract with the church qn this occasion will be rhe forerunner of a continued attendance.” By the courtesy and interest of the Rev. \V. <\ Schaeffer, Jr.. president of the association, the matter of “Go- to-t’hurch Day” was given an early place on the program, the ministers taking it up as the tlrst business of the meeting Mr. Schaeffer spoke briefly in favor of the movement, and then Introduced a representative of The Georgian, who assured the meet ing that that newspaper was seeking no credit for tin* idea, which was simply put forth as a suggestion which tiie ministers of Atlanta had seen tit to take up with a remarkable unanimitv of favor. That showed very plainly In the manner in which the meeting took occasion to indorse the movement >uul to adopt the resolution set forth previously. j II I IN TALK Mrs. L. J.

Mayor James G. Woodward, with a few words expressive of his ap preciation of the purposes of the ex hibit. formally opened Atlanta’s Child Welfare and Health Show Monday noon in the building at No. 198 Peachtree street. Women prominent in society, in women’s club circles and in the im portant reform movements of the city were present in large numbers on the opening day. The object of the show, in, the words of one of the enthusiastic wo men, is to leach all of the women of Atlanta: How to make proper preparation tor the visit of Old Doctor Stork. How to care for the precious bur den that the Old Doc brings, through the early days of its career. How 10 feed and clothe the little person. How to bathe it—for they say there is more to bathing the child than simply dousing him in the water. How to Fight Disease. How to protect the child from dis eases. How to place about this young member of the community the prop er sanitary safeguards. How to insure its moral and physi cal development. Mayor Woodward looked at the various interesting exhibits and then said to the women: *”I appreciate the object of this show, pose. "The only chance you have for any legree of failure is that you may not get the people here who most need this sort of instruction. You must | make a strong appeal to the poor of the city, to those who know “little of the fundamentals of caring for the child's welfare. "I believe that the city should take a greater interest in Its children and should make provision for those who are crippled or defective, and whose parents are not able to care for them. "There’s another problem before us. It is the negro problem, and we must face it. We can not ignore them, for in great measure upon their health depends our own. They are packed together six or eight in a room, and these are tDo same negroes that care for our children and prepare our food.” One of the most interesting features of the show is an actual children’s clinic, where deformed and ailing chil dren arte a red for. Prominent phy sicians of Atlanta have volunteered to be at the show continuously, and parents may have the privilege with out cost of having the ailments of their children diagnosed there.

Miss Townsend’s testimony was a corroboration of that offered by Dr. Hurt earlier in the day. She told j of administering a morphine hypo dermic to the aged farmer several hours before his death, in accord ance with instructions of the attend ing physician She also trild of him •taking the cough medicine, which Dr. | Hurt had prescribed. j "The cough medicine was not giv en to the patient as a narcotic, but to stop a painful cough.’’ said Dr. Hurt. “It contained a slight amount of opium, which has the effect of pre venting the cough, but not enough to in any way effect the patient's state of health.” The physician attested to having ordered Miss Tovvnsenu, the attend ing nurse, to administer a hypodermic of morphine to the dying man to ease his pain, and also declared that cough Tlrops containing opium had been given him, and scouted the- the ory of deliberate poisoning. What was considered a slight vic tory for the widow was gained when Dr. Hurt denied that he had com mented to Dr. Edgar Everhart, the Atlanta chemist, on the peculiar ap pearance of Crawford's eyes before his death. Attorney J. S. James, for the heirs, in the cross-examination, attempted to show that the County Physician had noticed suspicious symptoms in the dying man’s eyes and had com mented upon them. Hypodermic Traces Seen. It was asserted that the pupils of Crawford’s eyes were contracted from an overdose of morphine. Reuben R. Arnold, attorney for Mrs. Crawford, in rebut ting this assertion, brought out from Dr. Hurt the denial of Dr. Everhart’s statement, and also the fact that a slight administration of morphine hypodermically had been given as well as the opium in the i cough medicine.

New York, who is said to have been engaged to wed Mrs. Crawford prior to her marriage, and who, it is charg ed, "retired that she might wed the wealthy farmer and marry him (Lumb) after she had caused the death of Crawford,” also were intro duced by Attorneys Arnold and Smith. In them Lumb told of his acquaint ance with Mrs. Lumb in St. Augus tine and Atlanta. He denied that he had ever been engaged to her or had entertained the idea of marriage. He stayed at a hotel operated by Mrs. Crawford (Mrs. Savage at that time) in St. Augustine, and stated that he had seen Mr. Crawford once. The latter was stopping at the hotel, and Lumb stated he was asked to assist in dressing him one day. as Crawford was quite weak. Interrogatories of E. G. Eick, a boarder at the hotel at the time Lumb was there, also denied that it had been understood that Lumb was engaged to Mrs. Crawford, or that he had ever heard any intiination of it. Eick was instrumental In assisting Mrs^ Crawford’s atorne^s in locating Lumb in New York. Lumb worked at a barber shop in Atlanta for four weeks shortly af*«r Crawford’s death, but returned to New York on account of becoming stranded here. He stat ed that he called upon Mrs. Crawford several times while here, but had heard from her but once since leaving Atlanta three years ago. Women to Meet to Plan Xmas Seal Sale Mrs. J. O.

"I married a handsome man and a well-appearing woman, the man well known to me, who was sure he knew what he was doing—apparently and the woman purporting to be a sister of Senator Luke Lea. I was in pood faith; Mr. Newman was in good faith; the only party in on the secret was the woman." "You see how it is,” Mr. DuBose added. "Now. what I hope to see in Georgia is something like the law of ('alifornia, which adds a sort of codi cil to the marriage license, requiring the minister to ask certain questions of the contract parties. These ques tions are of such delicacy that, un less required and authorized by law. a minister in most cases does not feel like asking them. If it w ere a matter of law, it would be different. The law of Georgia should require, first, the Ordinary, then the minister, to assure himself on certain points, an'’, what escaped the legal official then might not escape the offictalof God.’ Asks No Prying Queries. Dr. A. R. Holderby stated plainly that he did not ask any prying ques tions in performing . the ceremony; he trusted the State and its authority, he said. Dr. B. P. Robertson asserted that the laws of the State ought to be made to conform to the laws of God, and the meeting applauded the senti ment. "(Tentlemen. I say to you that every man, and every woman, desiring tc be married in the State of Georgia, should be required to furnish to the Ordinary a clean bill of health, be fore a license can be granted.” said Dr. L. O. Brucker amid applause. There was applause for that—and there was no dissenting argument.
