Speakers at Rousing Meeting at
Capitol Pay Tribute to
Young Georgia.
A thousand stalwart young farm
ers of Georgia gathered at 10 o’cIock
Thursday morning in the hall of Lie
House of Representatives in the State
Capitol and heard from high officials
just what their efforts on Georgia's
red old hills meant to them, and ,o
the Empire State, and to the South, j
and to the nation.
Not only the thousand corn club
boys were there.
There also were the 40 girls from I
the canning clubs of Georgia—and
they heard something, too—something i
that made them blush and smile at
the praise, and especially at the not
too well-veiled promises that they
would make the best sort of help
meets to—well, to the ambitious
planters of the Young Georgia.

And then there was a great crowd
of onlookers, to cheer the proceedings,
and the award of prizes and diplomas,
and, in fact, t- keep things moving at
a lively pace until nearly noon.

It is estimated that close to 1,000

it is in Atlanta. The indications «• r-j
that the movement started in Atlanta
will be State-wide by another year,
and that all of the churches through
out Georgia will join in what wili
prove probable the most striking dem
onstration ever made by any band or
organization of churches in America.
The plan has met with instant ac
ceptance from the ministers, it sup
plied just the stimulus which it had
been impossible to obtain in any oth
er manner. Every church had held
rally days when the ministers were
able to ’■■tick the building to the door-»,
but the idea of a concerted rally, when
every church in the city would r»e
packed it th*- same time, when every
minister would be exalted by the sea
of faces before him and when more
voices than ever oefore simultaneous
ly would be raised in song and pray*.\
never had occurred to many of tim
ministers, much less been regarded
as a possibility.

for Just such a situation. Every min
ister was to use his utmost endeavot
to g< I out every pet-on on his mem

December 14—even to those who had
not been inside the church doors f r
weeks and months. An actual show
ing of th - strength of the churches
was to he made. This immediately
struck the minds of all religious work
ers as an admirable plan, and they
fell in with the project heartily and
lent their assistance to make it a suc
cess.

Dispatches from there Thursday say
that the day will be observed Decem

isters of the place have taken hold of
the work and have aroused the whole
town to an active Interest. Tile
movement also !)ns the indorsement of
a large number of business men and
other members of t Ijpe laity.
Each of the Atlanta churches will
have committees to see that the ef
fects of "Go-to-Uhurch Day" shall In-

invited to attend on all of the sue

Atlanta pastors that the same shall be

steps to perpetuate its observance an.
