8 A
Pastors in Dozens of Georgia Pulpits
to Urge Great Outpouring of People
on Deceember I4---Special Services
to Attract Populace.
With virtually every minister In
Atlanta working to bring out the larg
est congregation In the history of his
church December 14—"Go-toChurch
Day”—promise* to be the greatest re
ligious celebration seen here In many
years.
At the same time the rest of the
State Is In a keen rivalry with the
city, and reports from many twons
Indicate that Georgia next Sunday
will see the largest church attendance
In Its history.
Many pastors will discuss the sub
ject from their pulpits to-day and
give It their hearty Indorsement. They
will ask their parishioners to persuade
one or two—or a half dozen—of their
non-ohurch-going friends to attend
the services next Sunday and enjoy
the special programs, of which music
will be a feature, that will offered
that day.
The enthusiasm throughout the
State Is keen, and growing daily.
A “Golden Idea.”
The Com.-r News, In Its last Issue,
after quoting from the editorial in
The Georgian that started the whole
movement, says:
"The idea Is a golden one. Why not
have a similar day In Comer? The
Atlanta churches have decided on the
second Sunday In J December, which
would he* a most excellent time for
Comer. On the second Sunday thdre
will be preaching at both the Presby
terian and the Methodist hurch,
therefore there Is no excuse for stay
ing at home. The hallowed Influence
of the church has been a force In the
making of our town, as well as tho
civilization of our nation."
Four of the leading pastors at Home
are heartily and actively In favor
of a "Go-to-Church Day."
First, Dr. G. G. Hynder. pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, and
Dr. W. L. Walker, of the First Bap
tist Church, took up the idea, which
was promptly espoused by Dr. C. La
mar McGtnty. of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist ('hurch, and Dr. Charles R.
Lee. pastor of the South Broad Street
Baptist church.
“The idea is wonderfully fine," said
Dr. MoGinty, "and I shall do all in
my power to make It a success in my
church.”
Chance to Reach Hearts.
“A movement that would bring out
nil the people, even for one day, would
l»e a tremendous opportunity for us
ministers.” said Dr. Lee. “It would
give us a grand chance to reach
hearts otherwlst Inaccessible, and
there Is no estimating the good that
might he acomplishad.”
At Gainesville it is the opinion of
the ministers that "Go-toChurch Day"
is destined to be one of the greatest
church movements ever launched in
that city.
Tlu* Rev. E. F GrlfTlth, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, said:
“It is a movement that should In
terest people all over the State, an i
result in inestimable good I Indorse
It most heartily, and shall announce
It from my pulpit Sunday, and do all
in my power to make It a success
here. The Georgian Is due a groat
de:il of credit for the suggestion
and this should not he the last "Go
to-*'hurch Day." either."
“This movement is all right," as
serted the Rev. .1 R. Hampton, pas
tor of the First Baptist Church. “It
Is a capital idea, and ought to have
been started sooner. It will stir the
people up and get them In line."
Big Event in Gainesville.
The Rev. T. R. Kendall, of the First
Methodist Church, said:
“The movement is a most com
mendable one. and It has my most
hearty indorsement.”
All the Gainesville ministers, in
fact, and a growing number of lay
men are actively engaged in an ef
fort tc» make “Go-to-Church Day" an
event long to be remembered.
Reports from Jackson are to tho ef
fect that the movement has taken a
most definite and enthusiastic form
in thai city.
Dr. Robert VanDeventer. of the
Baptist Church, and the Rev. James
Bradlev, of the Presbyterian Church,
hav. given the matter their devoted
attention, and are lending all their
efforts to sweep the town next Sun-
das in the direction of the churchei.
Both the ministers have made
warm statements of the day and al
It should mean to Jackson, and
among the prominent laymen who
have volunteered to work for its suc
cess are Joseph Jolly, clerk of the
County Commissioners and a well-
known church and Sunday sc ho o'
worker: F. S. Etheridge, superintend
ent of the Baptist Sunday school an A
a prominent banker; S. O. Ham.
treasurer of the Jackson Baptist
*'hurch; C, S. Maddox, County School
Superintendent, and R P. Sasne'.t
cashier of the Jackson National Bank
end a prominent Sunday school and
church worker.
The Big Topic in Weit Point.
Equally absorbing Interest was
aroused in West Point by the move
ment suggested by The Georgian and
accorded such fine support In Atlanta
The Rev. Graham Forrester, pastor
of the First Baptist church, com
mended the movement in the most
unqualified terms
“It is certain to awaken a deep
interest in church attendance," he
said, “and it is bound to be an in
spiration to the ministers and to the
regular congregations, awakening
th‘*m to the fact that an equally large j
proportion of the people are not reg
ular ( hurch attendants. It will dem- j
onstrate to those people that church
services are good things to attend. ’ I
“I am deeply impressed with the !
effort being made In Atlanta to get
all the people out to church on a cer- ,
tain day.” said Rev. L. M. Omer. pas- j
tor of the First Christian Church. (
“And 1 am even more gratified that j
this movement is to be extended over j
the w'hole State. West Point. I know,
is going to do its share to make De
cember 14 a day long to be remem
ber* ’ thr* ; - bout the State, and 1
am ./n i o with the other West Point
ministers to get the whole city to
attend church on that day."
Rev. R. B. Morrow, past./r of the
First Presbyterian Church, added his
testimony:
To Attract Neglecting Ones.
“This concerted effort is the beat
things that could have happened to
stimulate i tan I In going to church,
not only in the matter of loyalty
among the regular members of
church congregation, but also, and
especially, to attract to the House of
God those persons in the community
who have been neglecting this most
important duty. The Georgian de
serves great credit for Inaugurating
this grand work.'
"We hope to show all the non-
churchgoers of our community that
church is a very good place to at
tend at least once a week.” said a
prominent minister, "and this spe
cial day is a most admirable way of
getting at that important portion of
