Here Is just one instance of the
way Go-to-Church Day is being taken
tip;
Rriftnr Georgian:
The first Sunday in .January is
a beginning of our new fiscal
and we had decided to have
n:;r annual "round-up” on triat
da-a. but your "Go-to-Church”
Sunday has caught on with us,
«nd I have decided to have our
church rally on December 14 in
stead.
It is our plan to make that day
•he Mggest and best in our his
tory- cot only because we desire
to re-enlist aJl of our members at
iat time for the work of the new
par. but because we want to
show our appreciation of The
;•> rgian’s efforts to get the
; ch-going habit on in Atlanta,
is a great conception, and a
a- worthy of your splendid or
ganization. If the churches of Af
ar a could enlist the co-opera-
on of the press in the unique
•'ay you have taken hold of this
particular movement in a. cam
paign for a “Go-to-Church-
Every-Sunday,” it would prove
•h« greatest piece of constructive
work r-vpr contributed to the sue-.
r-esB of our city. ^
commend The Georgian for

of church-going and for its prac-
ical and valuable contribution to
that end.
Respectfully,

The general program of the two
nenrtces was left largely to the choos
ing of the individual pastor. In many
f Hie churches the text will be
•aken from the twenty-seventh verse
the first chapter of James, al-
' igh this also is left at the option
of the minister. This text originally
was suggested bv Bishop C. K. Nel-
> n. and is: "Pure religion and un-
eflled before our God and Father is
; is To visit the widows and fath-
er'ess in their affliction and to keep
-imse f unspotted from the world.”
Laymen to Speak.
ThA committee at its meeting ree-
> r,mended that some prominent lay
man of each congregation be asked to
Jtaeak briefly at the morning service
>' hurch attendance, the spirit of
a day or some other appropriate
fjhject The committee expressed it-
►elf as desirous of the co-operation of
’he newspapers of the city, so as
make the day the greatest possible
vrill be held next Monday when re
ports will be 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 wait
for the formal indorsement of the
Evangelical Ministers’ Association,
which was given last Monday at its
monthly meeting, but stacted to work
at once, a.s 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 oi
the church. Now the task of getting
the invitation before practically ever.'
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 the 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
w ill permit a compilation to be made
early Monday forenoon.
All Churches to Count.
N'one of the churches will be omit
ted 1n 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 1n the move- ,
ment, and have instructed their con- !
gregations to turn out In full force.
