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 Don’t Wait for Pimples to Go They'D Leave in a Hurry If You Use Stuart’s Calcium Wafers.
