TIIK ATLANTA LbOKLLvN AND NEWS. 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.
