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.

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.’ KODAK FILMS Finished in eight hours. Write The qiege "Co-Op, ,T 119 Peachtree street.
