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.

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.

Each of the Atlanta churches will have committees to see that the ef fects of "Go-to-Uhurch Day" shall In- lasting. and that the persons who at tend on December 14 are personally invited to attend on all of the sue ceeding Sunday* Plan Annual Observance.
