the names can’t be given out."

Leader Pleased With Results.
“That includes, of course, the big
sum subscribed in Atlanta before the
work opened," Mr. Jacobs said. “It’s
a wonderful showing. It would be
hard to equal it in any cause not of
the first importance."
.Mrs. F. C. Austell, one of Atlanta’s
oldest citizens, accompanied her sub
scription to the fund with the re
mark that she remembered the orig
inal Oglethorpe institution very well,
indeed, and that she was happy to be
able to subscribe to the fund to re
place the university.

Educator and Pastor
Praise Movement.
Dr. E. Lyman Hood, president of
the Atlanta Theological Seminary, has
indorsed the Oglethorpe University
movement In the following language.
“We of the Theological Seminary
shall welcome the coming of the uni
versity as contributing a distinct and
much-needed factor in the educational
equipment and opportunity ^f our city
and State and be glad to assist
In so far as we may be able to do so.”
The Rev. Henry M. Edmonds, pas
tor of South Highlands Presbyterian
Church, of Birmingham. Ala., writes
to say:
"If It can be made a fact, our church
will have done the thing to which we
are called—the turning of dreams Into
substance. It seems to me to rest
with Atlanta as to whether the great
er Oglethorpe University wifi be or
not. While some people think that
Oglethorpe '•an never be resurrected,
we believe Atlanta can and will prove
the contrary ”

Atlanta Will Raise
Fund.Says Mr,Allen
Chairman Ivan E. Allen, of the
Oglethorpe University campaign
committee, said to-day:
“What Atlanta did In 1904 she
can and will do to-day. She raised
$265,000 then; she is raising now
$2 50,000 with smaller committees
and in less time.
"Other Southern cities want a
chance to do what Atlanta Is do
ing. They could do it the more
easily If Atlanta should fall dowi.,
“Oglethorpe is going to be bull,
in Atlanta. Oglethorpe already has
a dollar for every dollar Atlanta
puts up.
“Less than 1,000 people have
subscribed to date; there are 199,-
000 more to see.”

THE ATLANTA UEUKUJAN AND NEWS.
Movement Started in Atlanta Is
Likely to Become Georgia-
Wide by Next Year.
Atlanta’s “Go-to-Church Day,” set
for December 14, is attracting atten
tion in many parts of the State and
will be observed in several of the
cities this year on the same date that
it is in Atlanta. The indications ?rc
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 probablv 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 tfe ministers wore
able to -ack the building to the door*,
but the idea of a concerted rally, when
every church In the city would ne
packed at the sar.e time, w’hen every
minister w’ould be exaJted by the sea
of faces before him and when more
voices than ever Defore simultaneous
ly would be ralsen in song and prayer,
ijever had occurred to many of the
ministers, much less been regarded
as a possibility.
Favor for Plan General.
The “Go-to-Church” plan provided
for Just such a situation. Every min
ister was to use his utmost endeavo!
to get out every person on his mem
bership roll to the ‘wo services or
December 14—even to those who had
not been inside the church doors f r
weeks and months. An actual show
ing of tb” strength of the churchei
was to be made. This immediately
struck the minds of all religious work
ers as an admlrablo plan, and they
fell in with the project heartily and
lent their assistance to make it a suc
cess.
Jackson, Ga., is the latest town in
the State to join in the movement.
Dispatches from there Thursday say
that the day will be observed Decem
ber 14 as it Is In Atlanta. The min
isters of the place have taken hold of
the work and have aroused the whole
town to an active Interest. The
movement also has the indorsement of
a large number of business men and
other members of the laity.
Each of the Atlanta churches will
have committees to see that the ef
fects of “Go-to-Church Day” shall lie
lasting, and that the persons who at
tend on December 14 are personally
invited to attend on all of the suc
ceeding Sundays
Plan Annual Observance.
In other cities where a movement
of this sort has been undertaken »h«
results have been of a permanent na
ture. It is the determination of th«>
Atlanta pastors that the same shall be
true here.
The ministerial committee whUh
has charge of the arrangements for
the day in all probability will take
steps to perpetuate Its observance an
nually and to spread It to every city
in the State.
Atlanta pastors l nday again will
urge their congregations to turn out in
full force at both services.
The negro churches are co-operat
ing and will add thousands to the to
tal attendance for the day.

GIVEN SCOTS
John Gribbel Buys Glenriddell |
Relics to Deed to the Poet’s
Native Land.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6 —The j
mystery of the famed Glenrldd.lt,
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,
wag cleared up in an unexpected man
ner at the dinner of the St. Andrew’s
Society at the Bellevue-Stratfor 1,
when it w’as announced that the man
uscripts were In this city.
John Gribbel, the present owner of
the priceless volumes, which com
prise the largest collection of Burns
manuscripts in the world, in a briof
address announced that he had bought
the missing volumes and would re
store them to Scotland, the land of
the poet's birth, and in his opinion
the rightful owner to-day.
When Mr. Gribbel, who was one of
the guests at the dinner, made this
announcement he took the immense
gathering completely by surprise.
Not on Regular Program.
Mr. Gribbel was not assigned to a
toast on the 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 Burns had received from
Greech, the publisher In Edinburg, his
share of the proceeds of the 1787 edi
tion of his 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 Mossglel, and
with the remainder Burns leased and
furnished the farm Ellisland in Dum
friesshire. Here Burns made one of
the best friends he ever had, In Rid
dell of Glenriddell, who w’as 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 his manu
script letters, and presented them to
Riddell as a mark of esteem. Riddell
died in 1794, whereupon his widow
gave back to Burns these two vol
umes. Two years later Burns died.”
