Rome Fastors Heartily Indorse
Plan—Record Attendance in
Atlanta Now Assured.
Further fvidenw of th<» hold that
the plitn of a "Go-ttf-Oh'un h Day” if
taking upon the ministry of Georgia
In contained in a dispatch received
Friday from Rome. The message re
lates that two of the leading pastors
of the city have indorsed the move
ment and that the other churches will
take up the project and have a "Go-
to-Church Day” In Rome December
14, the an me dale that it is to be
observed . n Atlanta
Dr. G. O. Sydnor, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, and the Rev
W. W. Walker of the First Baptist
Church, are the men who first gave
their emphatic approval to the plan
Thev said they were in favor of a
State-wide “Go to-Churrh Day” to
he observed annually, and that th^.v
believed its Institution was a com
paratively simple and practicable
matter.
The movement ha* been under con
sideration In Rome for several weeks
and if is no Id that there is every rea
son to believe that it will have the
same pronounced success that it
promised in Atlanta.
Dr. Sydnor Enthusiastic.
•*The idea," said Dr Sydnor to a
Georgian correspondent, "is an excel

who have grown lax In their attend
ance at church out for one Sunday, 7
am sure we will be able to show mod
of the the error of their way. I
heartily indorse the ‘Go-to-Church’
idea.
"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 ever\ minister
of the Gospel. It would be a wonder
ful thing if all of the ministers,
hacked and encouraged by nil of the
newspapers - big and little—of the
State, should concert their energies
on getting out a record attendance
for Georria and thus set a m.?rk for
