THE ATLANTA CiEOKGIAN AND NEWS.
CHIEF END OF EVERY MAI
!lfS’ DESTINY J
W0RSHP.SAYS0R.0UB0SE
In nn eloquent explanation of tho
object* of "Go-to-Ohurch" Day, the
Rev H M. Du Bose, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, Monday
urged io-oj>eration by all to make
next Sunday the greatest flay In th<
history of Atlanta churches.
Dr. Du Bose, In a statement writ
ten for The Georgian, said
"Why a 'Go-to-Church' Day? Be
cause It emphasizes an Idea funda
mental in human happiness and
stresses & principle indispensable to
the soundness and perpetuity of so
ciety.
“But to fully answer this question
we must go back and ask and answer
another and deeper question: Why
go to church at all? What is the ob
ject of - hurchgolng in general"
“The first and truest answer is that
tlie highest end of man is to wor
ship God, and the visible altars of
the organized church are the places
where that worship can be offered in
< omellness and where it will have the
most certain and enduring effect
upon the fellowships of men
Worship Is Duty.
“It is not only the chief end of
♦ very man to worship God, but it is
the destiny of nations to do so. Moses
declared to Pharaoh that the object
of the liberation of the Israelites was
that they might go into the wilder
ness to worship God.
“As nations and peoples advance
into the higher stages of their devel
opment, the duty, as the need, of
worship is augmented. The highest
note In literature Is the note of wor
ship. It is only truth to say that the
constant and confident fact In written
history Is also that of worship.
“This note and this fact are pro
phetic. The German poet put the whole
philosophy and theology of these into
-trophe of his ‘Hymn to the Eter
nal :'
Spurs us. O, God;
We will acknowledge Thee!'
“Another object of churchgoing is
to enlarge and conserve the Individ
ual life. The element of reverence
and the life-impelling respect for law
which are now so much needed in the
lawmakers and citizenry of our na
tion can only be had as the result of
close and sympathetic contact with
holy things.
Food for Character.
“Character Is derived from partic
ipation in those duties which are rec
ognized as coming from the divine.
That the object of churchgolng is to
minister to and sanctify the whole
body of society Is a proposition
worthy the study of both statesman
ship and faith.
“The church not only stands for tho
greatest truths ever promulgated to
Our coals will please you.

CARROLL & HUNTER.
man, hut It lives to make these ef
fective in the world's life and thought.
Hut great as Is this task tfet the
church, it is one which can not re*
a< complished tntough any form of
force or compulsion. It is one which
has to do only with the freely volun
teered powers of men’s minds, and
the captivity to which they willingly
lend their ears and hearts
“This is the broad platform and
philosophy of our ‘Go-to-Ghurch’ Day,
a spontaneous idea which has been
taken up by practically all the pas
tors of tlds city, Sunday next, De
cember 14, being settled upon as the
day for making that interesting test.
"On that day it is hoped to see the
sittings In all our churches filled to
overflowing.
Pastors Pushing Project.
“To accomplish this end, the pas
tors have appointed, or will to-day
appoint, committees whose work will
be to set every possible influence In
motion to bring to church on next
Sunday a larger part of Atlanta's
population than has ever before been
so assembled.
“This will not only emphasize the
great Idea already discussed, hut will
help to form a churchgolng habit
which the promoters believe is des
tined to tell on the lives and pros
perity of Atlanta’s churches for years
to come,
“The services next Hunday will, by
resolution already adopted, take the
line of emphasizing the work and
principles of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement, a movement
which Is Itself of and by the churches.
“Special programs of music will
also be arranged, ami the whole spir
it of the day’s efforts will be to
show the value of the church to the
world." ,

In Dsy 4 Goods Trade
Marshall Field Ar Co., in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade, say:
“Propitious tendencies have deve’oped
in the dry goods trade during the Aral
week of the closing month of the year
Collections show a 7 per cent Increase
over those of the same period a year
ago.
“The preinventory sale during the
first three days of the week brought a
good attendance of buyers, which is re
markable considering 'he unfavorable
weather for retail selling, which had
continued practically unabated for the
past five weeks.
“Conservatism rules in regard to fu
ture business In most lines stocks are
well cleaned up throughout the country
and retailers are inc ined to keep them

Presidents of revolution-ridden Nica
ragua at the same time.

Committees Plan to Close Cam
paign in Sixteen Days—Labor
Unions Help Movement.
Rested and invigorated by their Tit
tle vacation Sunday and cheered by
the tremendous success of their first
week's labor for Oglethorpe Univer
sity, the various committees started
out briskly Monday morning to cut
down the $111,004 of the $250,000 fund
which remains to be raised.
Another encouraging piece of news
| received Monday morning was thaf
the Atlanta Typographical Union had
led the way for the other labor unions
in the city by subscribing $100 to the
fund, in addition to substantial
amounts already given by individual
members. This official evidence of
friendship and good will was ex
tremely gratifying to the Oglethorpe
leaders.
The rush of subscriptions in the
first week of the campaign has en
couraged the workers to believe firm
ly that every dollar of the $250,000
will be subscribed by Christmas Eve,
whereas it was at first thought the
fund could not be completed before
the first of the coming year.
“The way It looks this morning,”
said the Rev. Thorn well Jacobs, “At
lanta is ~oing to find in Its Christmas
stocking one of the finest Christmas
gifts her people have yet bestowed
on her. Th<> campaign Is progressing
beyond all predictions.”
The nooday luncheons at the Pied
mont Hotel will continue throughout
the week, w^h the long table grad
ually growing longer as the workers
gather more and more consistently.
There 1» a lot of real interest and
good humor at those luncheon meet
ings. and a friendly rivalry as to
which committee will excel
