f t ministerial committee on Go-

p ,: . ry chugth in Atlanta on De
eper ^hnounced Wednesday
I ,j lgt fl r’-angenients for the occasion
rtarl ’ <?en further perfected by the au-
! jVjpr.y.vior. of the appointment of a
! committee by every: pastor to look
| • ;■ attendance in hie particular
; iur and tn s^e that every member

on the day which will make a record
for the city of Atlanta.
Here is just one instance of the
way Go*to-( ’hurch Day is being taken
up .......
Editor Georgian:
The first Sunday in January is
the beginning of our new fiscal
year, ar.d we had decided to have
our annual “round-up” on that
date, but your “Go-to-Church”
Sunday has caught on with us,
and I have decided to have our
church rally on December 14 in
stead
Tt Is our plan to make that day
the biggest and best in our his
tory. not only because we desire
to re-enlist all of our members at
that time for the work of the new
year, but because we want to
show cur appreciation of The
Georgian’s efforts to get the
church-going habit on in Atlanta.
I: is a great conception, and a
task worthy of your splendid or
ganization. If the churches of At
lanta ould enlist the co-opera
tion >f the press in the unique
w;,v you have taken hold of this
particular movement in a cam
paign for a “Go-to-Church-
Everv-flunday,” it would prove
the greatest piece of constructive
work ever contributed to the suc
cess of our city.
! ommend The Georgian for
■preciation of the great value
un going and for its prac-
ind valuable .contribution to
that end.
Respectfully,
JULIEN S. RODGERS.
Pastor East Atlanta Baptist
Chufch.
7 i general program of the two
be- was left largely to the choos-
r.p df 'he individual pastor. In many
• • ’lurches the text will be
from the twenty-seventh verse
of 'he first chapter of James, al-
gh this also is left at the option
of the minister. This text originally
was suggested by Bishop C. K. Nel
son and is: "Pure religion and un-
deflled before our God and Father is
this: To visit the widows and fath
erless in their affliction and to keep
himself unspotted from .the world.”
Laymen to Spe*k.
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 the greatest possible
success.
Another meeting of the committee
will 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-
pottod that the enthusiasm of the
ministers was great, and that all ac
tively Mere Joining in to bring out
every member on the rolls of their
churches.
Begin Work at Once.
Some of the ministers did not waif
for the formal indorsement of the
Evangelical Ministers' Association,
which was given last Monday at its
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 oi
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 the attend
ance will he 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 tolbe 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
ine 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 ih full force.

vel at, and colorings. A rich, red rose on a field of dark blue, a winding, swirling spray of
