IIEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1913.
3 A
WHOLE STATE
VflLRY FOR
Pastors in Dozens of Georgia Pulpits
to Urge Great Outpouring of People
on December 14-—Special Services
to Attract Populace.
With virtually ever>* minister in
Atlanta working to bring out the larg
est congregation in the history of his
church, December 14—“Go-to-Church
Day promises to be the greatest re
gions 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 towns
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
R ive it their hearty indorsement. They
w ask their parishioners to persuade
one or two—or a half dozen—of their
non-church-going friends to attend
•he services next Sunday and enjoy
the special programs, of which music
will be a feature, that will be offered
that day.
The enthusiasm throughout the
State is keen, and growing daily.
A “Golden Idea.”
The Comer 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 December, which
» would be a most excellent time for
J Corner. On the second Sunday there
• will be preaching at both the Presby-
j terian and the Methodist Church,
i therefore there is no excuse for stay-
J in* at home. The hallowed influence
> of the church has been a force in the
[ making of our town, as well as the
i> civilization of our nation.”
Four of the leading pastors at Rome
, ere heartily and actively in favor
] of a “Go-to-Church Day.”
} First, Dr. G G. Synder, pastor of
• the First Presbyterian Church, and
)S Dr. W. L. Walker, of the First Bap-
[j tist Church, took up the idea, which
1 was promptly espoused by Dr. C. La-
;! mar AfcGinty, of the Fifth Avenue
11 Baptist Church, and Dr. Charles R.
• Bee. pastor of the South Broad Street
|J Baptist Church.
"The idea Is wonderfully flne,” said
!! Dr-. AlcGinty, “and I shall do all in
my power to make ft a success In my
'* church.”
Chance to Reach Hearts.
' movement that would bring out
; ail the people, even for one day, would
be a tremendous opportunity for us
!j ministers,” said Dr. Bee. “It would
• give us a grand chance to reach
!; hearts otherwise inaccessible, and
.* there is no estimating the good that
!j might be acomplished.”
ii At Gainesville it is the opinion of
;; the ministers that “Go-to-Church Day”
is destined to be. one of the greatest
>’ church movements ever launched in
\\ that city.
The Rev. E. F. Griffith, pastor of
.' th« First Presbyterian Church, said:
It is a movement that should in-
; t^rest people all over the State, and
• result in inestimable good. I indorse
i; it most heartily, and shall announce
it from my pulpit Sunday, and do all
jj *n my power to make it a success
: * Here. The Georgian is due a great
:• deal of credit for the suggestion—
and this should not be the last ‘Go-
to-Church Day,’ either.”
This movement is all right,” as
serted the Rev, J. R. Hampton, pas
tor of the First Baptist Church. “It
ii 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 Rw. 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 to make "Go-to-Church Day” an
event long to be remembered.
• Reports from Jackson are to the ef
fect that the movement has taken a
most definite and enthusiastic form
In that city.
Dr. Robert VanDeventer, of the
Baptist Church, and the Rev. James
Bradley, of the Presbyterian Church,
have given the matter their devoted
attention, and are lending all their
efforts to sweep the town next Sun
day in the direction of the churches
Both the ministers have made
warm statements of the day and alv
it *bould 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 weil-
known church and Sunday schoot
worker: F t S. Etheridge, superintend
ent of the Baptist Sunday school and
a prominent banker; S. O. Ham,
treasurer of the Jackson Baptist
Church; C. S. Maddox, County School
Superintendent, and R P. Sasne.t
cashier of the Jackson National Bank
and a prominent Sunday school and
church worker.
The Big Topic in West Point.
Equally absorbing interest was
aroused in West Point by the move
ment suggested by The Georgian and
accorded such flne 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
them to the fact that an equally large
proportion of the people are, not reg
ular church attendants. It will dem
onstrate to those people that church
services are good things to attend. ’
“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
tor of the First Christian Church.
“And I am even more gratified that
this movement is to be extended over
the whole State. West Point, I know,
is going to do its share to make De
cember 14 a day long to be remem
bered throughout the State, and I
am joining with the other West Point
ministers to get the whole city to
attend church on that day.”
Rev. R. B. Morrow, paster of the
First Presbyterian Church, added his
testimony:
To Attract Neglecting Ones.
“This concerted effort is the best
thing that could have happened to
stimulate Interest in going to ohurch,
not only in the matter of loyalty
among the regular members of
church congregations, 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-
ohurchgoers 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
our population.”
Phonograph Sacred Concert
Featured in Church Service
Attractive services have been ar
ranged in the churches of Atlanta for
Sunday. One of the most novel fea
tures announced for weeks Is a grafo-
nola sacred concert to be conducted
Sunday night in the First Universailat
Church, No. 16 East Harris street.
The Rev. Fred A. Line, the pastor,
is one of the few ministers of the
country to introduce this modern in
vention into the regular church serv
ices. Its success will be watched
"ith interest.
Among the musical numbers that
will be rendered by the grafonola will
be the sextet from “Lucia,” “The
Holv City,” as sung by Walter Law
rence, boy soprano in All Saints

Go to Church
Once and See
What It Means
I F you go to church to-day,
GO AGAIN NEXT SUN
DAY.
If you don’t go to church
to-day, GO NEXT SUNDAY.
That is the day that has
been set aside I)y all denomi
nations as Georgia’s “Go-to-
Church Day.”
If you are not a regular
church-goer you should attend
services December 14, be
cause these services are in
tended to show YOU just what
church means.
If all the churches in a com
munity should close, there
would be financial depression,
moral degradation and an
archy.
You would not be willing to
live in that community and
bring up your family there.
So why live as if there were
no churches?
Try one next Sunday.
Sunday morning sermons for the
month:
December 1, "Who Is Jesus?” De
cember 14, “What Jesus Did;” De
cember 21, “What Jesus Does;” De
cember 28, “What Do You Think of
Jesus?”

on the following topics at the evening
services:
December 7. “The Sermon on the
Mount;” December 14, “Jesus in the
Midst:” December 21. “Jesus, the

Seeking the Lost.”
“What I Would Do If I Were the
Devil” is the subject that the Rev. A.
C. Shuler, of the East Side Taber
nacle, will have for his sermon at the
evening service.
Recorder Broyles to Talk.
Two outside speakers will have a
part In the services morning and

Of great interest in Baptist circles
will be the monthly meeting Sunday
afternoon of the Atlanta Baptist Sun

will convene at 3 o’clock in the South
Side Baptist Church, on Capitol ave
nue. In addition to reports to be
heard from various schools in the or
ganization. talks on Sunday school
lines will be made by J. E. Raley and
F. J. Fleming. President John M.
Green will preside, and as this* is the
last meeting of the association this
year it is desired that large repre
sentations from the various schools
attend.
Superintendents and teachers are
especially urged to be present, and
all parties interested In Sunday school
work are invited. There seems to be
a revival of interest in Sunday school
work throughout the city, resulting in
more enthusiasm and greater effort,
and as all schoojs are growing rapidly
in attendance Interest in the associa
tion meetings is likewise increasing.
