Doctor Faces Trial For Death of Wife Movement Started in Atlanta Is likely to Become Georgia- Wide by Next Year. John Gribbel Buys G len riddel I! • Relics to Deed to the Poet's j; Native Land. Atlanta's "Go-to-Church Day," -» l for December 14. is attracting atten tion in many parts of the State an 1 | will be observed in several of the cities this year On tha same date that it is in Atlanta. The indications .>r-t 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 will prove probably the most striking dem onstration ever mode 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 bad held rally days when ti e i« misters \v<-iv able to ick the building to the door*, but the idea of a concerted rally, when every church in the city would oe packed at the sar.e time, when every minister would be exalted by the sea of faces before him and when more voices than ever before simultaneous ly would be raised in song and prayer, never had occurred to many of the ministers, much less been regarded as a possibility. Favor for Plan General. Tlie “Go-to-Church” plan provided fur Just such a situation. Every min ister was to use his utmost endeavu! to g* t out every perron on his mem bership roll to the *wo services or I December 14- even to those who had not been Inside the church doors f r weeks and months. An actual show ing of strength of the churches was to be made. This immediately struck the minds of all religious work ers as an admirable plan, and they fell in with the project heartily and li n their assistai • to make it*a sue. Fentral committee: W. T.

Dec. 6.—The mystery of the famed Glenriddill manuscripts of the poet Robert Burns, which were sold secretly by the Athenaeum Library of Liverpool last summer, and for which a committee of indignant Scots in both Scotland and England has since been searching, was cleared up in an unexpected man ner at the dinner of the St. Andrew's Society at the Bellevue-Stratfor 1, when it was announced that the man uscripts were in this city. John Gribbel, the present owner of tiie priceless volumes, which com prise the largest collection of Burns manuscripts in the worm, in a bri“f address announced that he had bought the missing volumes and would re store them to Scotland, the land >f tlie poet’s birth, and In his opinion the rightful owner to-day. When Mr. Gribbel. who was one of Hie guests at the dinner, made this announcement he took the immense gathering completely by surprise. Not on the Regular Program. Mr. Gribbel was not assigned to a toast on Hie program, but was called upon to give an account of the ro mance of some Burns manuscripts, upon which it was understood he could throw some light. “When Burn^ had received from Greech, the publisher in Edinburg, his share of the proceeds of the 1787 edi tion bf ids poems." said Mr. Gribbel, “you will recall that he gave his brother, Gilbert Burns, one-half of the 500 pounds received to pay the debts of the family and help Gilbert on with the farm at Mossgiel. and with the remainder Burns leased and furnished the farm Ell island in Dum friesshire. Here Burns made one of the best friends he ever had. in Rid dell of Glenriddell, who was a man of culture, education, and of local position. Burns stayed at Ellisland from 1788 to 1791. when he gave up farming and lived in Dumfries. “Before leaving England he prepar ed a manuscript volume containing his selected poems, finished as he wanted them known by posterity, also another volume containing hi> manu script letters, and presented them to Riddell as a mark of esteem. Riddell died in 1794, whereupon his widow gave back to Burns tnese two vol umes. Two vcui-s later Burns died." Educator and Pastor Praise Movement.
