mst one instance of the
.< 'hurch Day is being taken
up:
Editor Georgian:
The rst Sunday in January is
i ,;-p beginning of our new fiscal
vpar n r. . we had decided to have
I our annua I ‘round-up” on that
I date, but your "Go-to-Church”
£ n( j a x has caught on with us.
I an( j i have decided to have our
hurch rally on December 14 in
stead
It is our plan to make that day
I the- biggest and best in our his-
I ton not only because we desire
t n re-enlist all of our members at
,| Ut time for the work of the new
y' oar , h; t because we want to
| appreciation of The
Georgian’s efforts to get the
, -irch-going habit on in Atlanta.
It is a great conception, and a
I task worthy of your splendid or
ganization. If the churches of At-
1 lania ould enlist the co-opera-
I tion of the press in the unique
| , .y you have taken hold of this
- .-merit in a cam-
, g,. for a “Go-to-Church-
K , r\ -Sunday.” it would prove
greatest piece of constructive
work ever contributed to the suc
cess of our city.
f ommend The Georgian for
. ..predation of the great value
church-going and for its prac-
L and valuable contribution to
that end.
Respectfully,
.11 T LIEN S. RODGERS.
Pastor East Atlanta Baptist
t'hurch.
The general program of the two
se . ps was left largely to the choos;
ire-f the individual pastor. In many
ne churches the text will be
•.ikpn from the twenty-seventh verse
first chapter of James, al-
n g this also is left at the option
This text originally
\* >s suggested by Bishop C. K. Nel
son. and is: ‘‘Pure religion and un-
opfiled before our God and Father is
thiv T.i visit the widows and fath
erless in their affliction and to keep
himself unspotted from the w*»rhi '
Laymen to Speak.
The committee at its meeting rec
ommended that some prominent lay
man of each congregation be asked to
speak briefly at the morning service
on church attendance, the spirit of
the day or some, other appropriate
subject. The committee expressed it
self as desirous of the co-operation of
all the newspapers of the city, so as
to make the day Ihe greatest possible
success.
Another meeting of the committee
will be held .next .Monday when re
ports will he heard from some of the
church subcommittees and further
suggestions made to insure getting out
the maximum strength of the
churches. Dr. H. M. Du Bose, one of
the members of the committee, re
ported that the enthusiasm of the
ministers was great, and that all ac
tively were Joining in to bring out
every member on the rolls of their
churches.
Begin Work at Once.
Some of the ministers did not wa.t
for the formal indorsement of the
Evangelical Ministers* Association,
which was given last Monday at ils
monthly meeting, but started to work
at once, as soon as the plan was
launched, to arouse interest among
the members of their congregation.
Some did by personal appeal at the
two services last Sunday and in the
Sunday schools. Other supplement
ed this by writing personal letters to
everyone of the membership roll ot
the church. Now the task of getting
the Invitation before practically every
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 he will enter them upon
a return postal card, which will have
been furnished him, and mail it im
mediately after the last service. This
will permit a compilation to be made
early Monday forenoon.
All Churches to Count.
None of the churches 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 take 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 cbn-
gregations to turn out in full force.

Well, the Christmas Editor has a
real tr^at to announce to-day for
friends of the Empty Stocking Fund
and for those who should be friends.
The biggest, most dazzling, most
entertaining and highest priced (but
not to you) star matinee ever held
in Atlanta is going to be put on at
the Atlanta Theater Friday, Decem
ber 12, for the benefit of the young
sters whose belief in Santa Claus
needs your help to save it from being
badly shattered.
Now. jot the date down before you
forget it.
It's going to be the greatest the
atrical event in Atlanta’s history.
Stage stars known on two continents
will give—as stage folk always dc
when they hear the call of the needy
—of their time and talent to avert the
tragedy of the empty stocking.
Local Players, Too.
There will be men and women of
the "legitimate.” whose salaries are
not much lower than th*» President's;
stars of variety that have to pay an
income tax almost every week; and—
in addition—local talent that will open
vour eyes to the cleverness of some
of the folks you know.
The program's being made up now
Its details will he announced soon,
and—as one of the Empty Stocking
Fund kids might say—it sure is going
to he a whopper.
In the meantime:
dow filled with toys and dolls, and
the hundreds of other things em-
blematm of Christmas, that fill the
hearts of boys and girls with joy.
Some of the toys and dolls are me-
Tragedy in Window,
rhanieal 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 the chill
air bv buttoning her worn Jacket
close'to her throat. Her ungloved
hands had never felt the warm fur of
a muff. ,
'Hie 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. Little girls
and boys enveloped in furs stood
there, excitedly telling their mothers,
warmlv and stylishly clad, just what
they wanted old {Santa Chaus 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 clothes gazed at
the toys with every line of his little
face reflecting joy. He watched with
fascinated eyes the mad whirlings of
a red and green mechanical fire en
gine and a long, red engine and train
or <#trs.
HTs mother waicued, too, a«nti the
sadness in her eyes deepened. She
gripped the little hand tighter.
The little boy rtiised his shining
eyes.
“Mama, can I have a fire engine for
Christmas?”
She stroked the little head.
“I—I—I’m afraid not, dear."
A Living Appeal.
"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 said, chokingly.
The little hoy began to cry, softly
"I never did see Santa Claus,
mama,” he sobbed; "1 never had any
thing to play with. 1 want a fire en
gine.”
And then they went away, the
mother holding the little boy close, ns
though she feared that he, too, would
be taken from her 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
tea rs
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 hut a I
cheap little red and green fire en-j
gine? And can’t have it. because all i
the money the father makes must go
for the bare necessities of life?
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 d«» something j
for them something to brine
light to their eyes and joy to thel*
80UlS V
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 helj
the poor little children. 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 that
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 is up to YOU to make a choice.
And Dolls to Be Dressed.
If YOU value a shirt or a necktie |
more titan you value that warm feel
ing. that indescribable exhilaration of
soul that follows a good deed—then
keep your money and spend it as you
see fit.
But if YOU had rather bring peace
and happiness to a home; if YOU had
rather awake Christmas morning
knowing that through YOU some lit
tle boy or girl is romping and shout
ing in the acme of earthly happiness I
— then write out a check or put some |
money In an envelope and-mail it to
the Christmas Editor of Tire Ameri- j
an and Georgian.
It will be applied to the Empty j
Stocking Uund and the little beys I
will get their fire engines and the lit- j
tie girls will tit-1 their dolls.
