WHOLE STATE
GETS BOOST
Rome Pastors Heartily Indorse
Plan—Record Attendance in
Atlanta Now Assured.
7
Further evidence of the hold that
the plan of a "Go-to-Ohurch I>ay” is
taking- upon the ministry of Georgia
5s contained in a dispatch received
^Friday from Rome. The message re
lates that two of the leading paators
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 same date that it is to be
observed in Atlanta.
Dr. G. <9. Sydnor, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, and the Rev.
\V. W. Walker, of the First Baptist
Church, are the men who first gave
their emphatic approval to the plan.
"They said they were in favor of a
State-wide "Oo-to-Churoh Day” to
be observed annually, and that they
believed its institution was a com
paratively simple and practicable
matter.
The movement has 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
lent one. If wo can get all 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. 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 every minister
of the Gospel. It would be a wonder
ful thing if all of the ministers,
backed and encouraged by all of the
newspapers—big and little—of the
State, should concert their energ.es
on getting out a record attendance
for GfOTvta and thus set a mark for
Tech Drama Club to
Play'The Magistrate’
"The Magistrate," one of the most
! i»opiilar and most interesting of Plns-
j ro's plays, will he presented by the
I Dramatic Flub of the Georgia School
of Technology at the Grand on the
night of December in
| This ie the play that won such
great success in Ixindon, and all over
Fngland for that matter, and was at
Daly's in New York for a long run.
Miss Carolyn Cobh, who is directing
the play, has selected an unusually
good cast.
Those who will take parts in the
play are John Dun woody, S A. Gayle,
Ben Hawkins. W. A. Troy, W. E.
Conklin, Albert Roberts. W. E. Dun-
woody, Joe Broadnax. M. H Wood-

church in the city December 14, The
movement has received the Indorse
ment of every denomination, and the
ministers arc enthusiastic for the

among some of the churehes closely
matched In point of membership, and
each is striving to outdo the other.

personally is urged to be present at

table until the next regular meeting,
