THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
Rome Pastors Heartily Indorse
Plan—Record Attendance wi
Atlanta Now Assured.
rurther evidence of the hold that
* the plan of a "Go-to-Ohurrh Day" if*
taking upon the ministry of Georgia
1* contained In a dispatch received
Friday from Rome. The message re
lates that two of the leading pa»to;\s
of the city have Indorsed the move-
men: and that the other churches will
take op the project and have a "Go-
to-Church Day" in Rome December
It, the same date that It is to be
observed in Atlanta,
i Dr. G. ' < Sydnor, paator of the First
Presbyterian Church, and the Rev.
W. W, Walker, of the First Baptist
ChtiTrh, are the men who first gave
their emphatic approval to the plan.
They said they were in favor of a
State-wide "Go-to-Churrh Day" to
be observed annually, and that they
believed iis Institution was a com
paratively simple and practicable
matter.
The movement lias been under con
sideration in Rome for several weeks,
and It is said that there is every rea
son to believe that it will have the
same pronounced success that is
promised in Atlanta.
Dr. Sydnor Enthusiastic.
The idea," said Dr. Sydnor to a
Georgian correspondent, “is an excel-
’ent one. If we can get ail the people
who have grown lax in their attend
ance at church out for one Sunday, I
am sure we will be able to show most
of the the error of their way. f
heartily Indorse the Go-to-Chureh’
dea.
‘ It is my hope that next year every
church in Georgia will have a part In
this great movement. It is a plan
that should appeal to every minister
of the Gospel. It would be a wonder
ful thin* if all of the ministers,
backed and encouraged by all o' the
newspapers—big and little—of the
State, should roneert their energies
on getting out a record attendance
for Georgia and thus set a mark for

for.
I will do all I can to help the
movement along, and I am sum tho
other pastors in Rome will do the

Dr. Sydnor and Dr. Walker arc
pastors of tile lane*- i churches in
Rome, and their leadership in any
popular move that has for Its aim the
betterment of the churches is an as
surance of success.
Record Attendance Assured.
The ministers of Atlanta are con
tinuing their earnest efforts to get
out capacity attendances at every
j church In the city December 14. The
! movement has received the Indorae-
j luent of every denomination, and the
ministers are enthusiastic for tile
day’s success.
Interest is at high pitch among tile
: congregations as well as among the
pastors. While no comparison of <n-
I dividual churches will be made, the
I intention merely being to get out a
record attendance for the entire city,
o friendly rivalry has sprung tip
among some of the churches closely
matched in poin.t of membership, and
I each is striving to outdo the other.
Every pastor in the citv will call
attention to the day in his morning
and evening services next Sunday
and eommittees will be appointed in
many of the churches to see that
every person on the membership roll
personally is urged to be present at
the services on December 14.
Fight Planned to Name Lester and
Willingham to Succeed Mc-
Eachern and Anderson.
Mayor Woodward's denunciation
of tho reported swap of board places
by Police Commissioner .1. N. Mc-
Kachern and Maroellus M Anderson,
member of the Hoard of Education,
as peanut politics.’’ ha* brought forth
a formidable opposition to the plan.
A hard fight will be made to name
Fred Lester as McEachern'a successor
and an effort of equal force will be
made in behalf of W. B. Willingham
to succeed Anderson.
It :s report- 1 that the three rep
resentatives of the Seventh Ward In
the new Council, Alderman Jesse
Armistead. Couneilmen A. R. Colcord
and S. L. Dallas, will stand firmly by
Mr. Lester. Should Anderson be
elected to McE-achern’s unexpired
term by the old Council at the next
meeting friends of I .ester declare that
he will he elected for the full term
next March.
Anderson’s resignation Is expected
to reach Council at the next, meeting.
T T nder the law it must lie on the
table until the next regular meeting,
which will throw the naming of his
successor into the new Council. The
three Seventh Ward members, It Is
said, will insist on Willingham’s elec
tion.
The precedent in Council is to al
low the ward representatives to se
lect the board members unless there
is a division.
