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 sL'-.q be glad to assist
in so far as we may be able to do so.”
The Rev. Henry M. Edmonds, pas-
*<r of South Highlands Presbyterian
r hureh, of Birmingham, Ala., writes
to say:
If it can be made a fact, our church
"id 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-
,r Oglethorpe University wifi be or
lot. While some people think that
Oglethorpe can never be resurrected,
"e believe Atlanta can and will prove
contrary,*’

Atlanta’s “Go-to-Church Day,” sot
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 ?ro
that the movement started in Atlanta
will he 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 io obtain in any oth
er manner. Every church had held
rally days when the ministers wore
able to ack the building to the doors,
but the idea of a concerted rally, when
every church in the city would tie
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 oefore simultaneous
ly would be raisen in song and prayer,
never had occurred to many of th«
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 endeavol
to get out every perron 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 th" strength of ihe churches
was to be made. This immediately
struck the minds of all religious work
ers ns an admirable plaijr 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 m.n-
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 add
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 be
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 ‘he
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 whDh
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 Stabe.
Atlanta pastors : 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

John Gribbel Buys Glenriddell EE
Relics to Deed to the Poet's =§
Native Land. ==
PHILADELPHIA,
Dec. 6. The
mystery of the famed Glenriddell i
manuscripts of the poet Robert I
Burns, which were sold secretly by th j
Athenaeum Library of Liverpool last!
summer, and for which a committee
of indignant Scots in both Scotland
and England lias since been searching. ;
was cleared up In an unexpected man- |
ner at the dinner of the St. Andrew’s j
Society at the Bellevue-StratforL ;
when it was announced that the man- i
uscripts were In this city.
John Gribbel, the present owner of ,
the priceless volumes, which com- j
prise the largest collection of Burns I
manuscripts in the world, in a brief !
address announced that he had bought j
the missing volumes and would re- 1
store them to Scotland, the land u' J
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 look the immense
gathering completely by surprise.
Not on the Regular Program.
Mr. Gribbel was not assigned to :■
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 Trorri
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 lie 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 Ellisland in Dum
friesshire. Here Burns made one of
the best friends he ever had, in Rid
dell qf Glenriddell, who was a man
of culture, education, and of local
position. Burns stayed at Ellisland
from 1788 to 1791. when lie gave up
farming and lived in Dumfries.
"Before leaving England be prepar
ed a manuscript volume containing
his selected poems, finished as her
wanted them known by posterity, also
another volume containing his manu
script letters, and presented them to
Riddell as a mark of esteem. Ridde ll
died In 1794, whereupon his widow
gave back to Burns these two vol
umes. Two years later Burns died.’
