;,Mt the enthusiasm of the
st^rs v.as great, and that all ac

every member op tjie mils ..f their |
churches.
Some of the ministers did not wait ]
for the formal indorsement of tiioj
Evangelical Ministers Association j
which was given last Monday at its,
monthly meeting, but slatted to work I
ut once.' os soon ms* the -plan was I
launched, to arouse interest among!
the members of their congaeg.t lion. (
Some did In personal I at the
tvNo services last Sunday and in the.
Sunday » nools. Other snipplemcnt-
ed this by writing personal letters to
everyone of the membership roll of
the church. Now the task of geting
the invitation before practically evert
family in the city will devolve large
ly upon the special committees to be
appointed Sunday by the various pas
tors.
An accurate count of »he attend
ance will be made at both the morn
ing and evening services by persons
appointed by the pastor of the church.
These figures will be given to the
pastor, and lie will enter them upon
a return postal card, which will have
been furnisned him. and mail it im
mediately after the last service. This
will permit a compilation to be made
early Monday forenoon.
All Church to Count.
None of the chun hes will be omit
ted in the count. Those that have
other assembling days than Sunday
will be counted on that day, as they
should be included in the totals of
Atlanta’s church attendance.
Some little rivalry has developed
among the colored churches as to
which will have out the largest at
tendance. Several of'the larger negro
churches ta'ke considerable pride in
their long membership rolls, and
there will be a determined effort on
the part of each of these to surpass
all the others. The negro pastors are
co-operating heartily in the move
ment, and have instructed their con
gregations to turn out in full force.

At 10 o’clock Wednesday morning
there was an exhibition by the Mary
Raoul Kindergarten with Miss Mabel
Lovelace in charge, while the Cornelia
Moore Cay Nursery Kindergarten,
with Miss Parks in charge, gives an
exhibition in the afternoon.
Great interV t was taken Tuesdaj
in the display of the • work of the

deaf children receive their training.

After the exhibition the children
were accorded the privilege of the

' Wooten, of the Carnegie Library, ar-
J ranged for the exhibit.
The Georgia Children’s Home So
ciety exhibit, which illustrates the
manner in which the orphans or de
pendent children should be cared for,
is attracting unusual attention. Th£
work of ’this society has. increased
greatly during the last year.
An address at< 5 o’clock Tuesday by
Dr. C. C. Howard on the diseases of
children and containing instructions
relative to the proper care of them
was listened to by an attentive audi
ence. It was followed by a moving
picture, “The Price of Human Life/'
which demonstrated the work, of the
Anti-Tuberculosis Association.
“The Real and Right Way to Wash

for “Fire Engine.”
Down on Whitehall street is.a win.
(low Ailed with toys and dolls, and
the hundreds of other things em
blematic of Christmas, that fill the
hearts of hoys and giris with joy.
Some of the toys and dolls are me
chanical and are in motion, and all
through the day juvenile Atlanta—
and adult Atlanta, too—clusters be
fore the window.
A woman and a little boy scarcely
6 years old stopped in front of the
window Wednesday morning. The
woman was clothed plainly. She had
no furs about her neck; she made
shift to protect herself from tile chill
air by buttoning her worn jacket
close to her throat. Her ungloved
hands had never felt the warm fur Qf
a muff. ,
The child, in a thin red Buster
Brown suit, shivered. His shoes were
overrun at the heels, and they'were
so large they flapped curiously as he
walked. He wore no gloves, and he
kept his little hands warm by thrust
ing them into the front of his jacket.
Others There. Well Clad.
The mother and her child stopped
in front of the window. I-ittle girls
and boys enveloped in furs stood
there, excitedly telling their mothers,
warmly and stylishly clad, just what
they wanted old Santa Claus to bring
them—and the mothers smilingly
promised “to speak to Santa about
it.”
The poor little boy with,the worn
shoes and the thin elothes gazed at
Ihe toys with every line of his little
faye reflecting joy He watched with
fascinated eyes the mad whirlings of
a red and green mdHianical fire en
gine and a long, red engine and train
of cars. ,
His mother watched, too. and the
sadness in her eyes deepened. She
gripped ihe little hand tighter.
The little boy raised his shining
eyes. .
"Mama, can I have a fin* engine for
Christmas?”
She stroked the little head.
•|—i—I’m afraid not, dea
A Living Appe a b
“Won’t Santa Claus bring it to me.
mama, if you ask him to?”
. "I hope so, honey: but I don t
know,” the mother salfl. chokingly
The little boy began to cry, softly
•I never did see Santa Claus,
mama.” he sobbed; "1 never had any
thing to play wit'll. I want a fire en
gine.”
And then they went away, tne
mother holding the little boy close, as
though .she feared that he, Ido, would
be taken from he>- as all the joy and
happiness of childhood had been taken
from him. The child sobbed, and the
mother winked hard to keep back the
tears
And all he wants is a little red and
green fire engine. It’ll cost maybe a
quarter, maybe a half dollar
And he can’t have it!
Have you ever stopped to think. Mr
Atlanta Man, that there are hun
dreds of such children in Atlanta—
hundreds who want nothing but a
(heap little red and green fire en
gine” And can’t have it. because all
the money the father makes must go
for the bare necessities of iife?
It’s Up to You.
And after you begin to think about
it. after you get the thought of these
poor little children in your mind —
what kind of a Christmas is YOURS
going to be if you don’t do something
foe. them—something to bring the
ligh* to their eyes and joy to their
souls?
Watch your own children play
around the house to-night—and then
ask yourself how you’d feel if you
had to tell THEM that Santa Claus
wasn't coming this year.
Of course, you don’t HAVE to hell,
the poor little childish. You CAN
keep your dollar or your five dollars
and buy yourself a new necktie or a
new shirt: but *
Which had you rather have?
A new shirt or the knowledge (hat
you had saved a little heart from the
greatest of childish sorrows, and the
knowledge that a grateful mother is
including you in her prayers to the
Almighty ?
It ifc up to YOU to make a choice.
And Dolls to Be Dressed.
If YOU value a shirt or a necktie
more than you value that warm feel
ing. tiiat indescribable exhilaration of
soul that follows a good deed—then
keep your money and spend it as you
sec fit. ,
But if YOU had rather bring peace
and happiness to a home; if YOU bad
rather awake Christmas morning
kno\Ung that through YOU some lit
tle boy or girl is romping and shout
ing in the acme of earthly happiness
—then write out a check or put some
money in an envelope and mail it to
the Christmas Editor of The Ameri
can and Georgian
It will be applied to the Empty
Stocking Fund—and the little boys
will get their fire engines and the lit
tle girls will get their dolls.
And don’t forget —Mrs. Atlanta and
Miss Atlanta—there are scores of
Christmas dolls to be dressed. Call
at The Georgian office, 20 East Ala
bama street, and get one—or a half
dozen.
