THE ATLANTA (iKOKUJAN AM) NEWS. CHIEF END OF E Rockefeller Victim In Alaska Fraud In an eioquent explanation of the objects of “Go-to-Church” Day, the Rev H. M. DuBoae, pastor of the First Methodist Church, Monday urged co-operation by all to make next Sunday the greatest day in the history' of Atlanta churches. Dr. DuBose, In a statement writ ten for The Georgian, said: "Why a ‘Go-to-Church’ Day'’ Re- cause It emphasizes an Idea funda mental in human happiness, and stresses a principle Indispensable to the soundness arid perpetuity of so ciety. /“But to fully ars'ver this quesMon we must go buck and ask and answei another and deeper quest loti: Why go to church at all? What is the ob ject of churchgoiriR in general? "The first and truest answer Is that the highest end of man is to wor ship QoS, and the visible altars of the organized church are the places where that worship can be offered In comeliness and where it Will have the most certain and enduring effect upon the fellowships of men. Worship Is Duty. *It Is not only tlie 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 strophe of his 'Hymn to the Eter nal : 'Spare us, < >, God: We will acknowledge Thee!’ “Another object of chiirchgoing is to enlarge and conserve the individ ual life.

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 churchgoing 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 stanch* lor the greatest truths ever promulgated to man, but It lives to make the*** af fective in the world's life and thought. But great as is this ta.sk set the church, it Is one which can not o< accomplished through any form of fore* or « (impulsion.

The biggest rebuff that the war riors of the votes for women have rnet in their nation-wide campaign came when they made their qpp*ul direct to the President in the White House. He told them that he could not, being the President of the United States, and at the same time leader of a political party which already had mode pledges to the people. He add ed that his hands w r erc full in co operating with Congress in the work of fulfilling these pledges. In addressing the delegation of 150 suffragists, President Wilson made It clear that Jie could not act as an in dividual. but only as a President, and that it would be extremely dangerous for him, In the language «,f the street, to "start something’’ He did not vouchsafe to the women yvhat hl- private conviction was regarding woman suffrage, but conveyed th*- impression that be was not unfav .r- abfly disposed toward it. He abso lutely rejected their request that he Indorse the project In any way at the present time. Dr. Shaw Spokeswoman. He declared that when Congress comes to him for his opinion on wom an suffrage he would give it, because he could not on his own initiative urge upon Congress woman suffrage legislation at the present time. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw was spokeswoman for the delegation. She asked the President for any one of three things: That he send a special message t<> Congress asking for leg islation enfranchising women by a constitutional amendment; that h e Include such a request in a goner 1 ! message to Congress, or that he in dorse the movement to create a suf frage committee in the Hoys*-. Dr. Shaw added that such a com mittee already had been created in the Senate. To these proposals Presi dent Wilson made a general reply. He declared that ax President ev ery act of his must be made within certain well-defined limitations. He said that as an individual he had no identity whatsoever. Suffragists Deeply Disappointed. As the leader of a party pledged to carry out certain legislation he had no right to obtrude his private views on Congress for any purpose what soever. He emphasized the fact that certain members of the Rules Com mittee of the House had asked him what he thought of the idea that a suffrage committee be created and that he replied that it might be wise to create such a committee. He instanced this by showing that on the only occasion when he hud been asked by Congress to reveal his views on any question relating to suffrage he had decidedly favored a favor and full fearing on the sub ject. The suffragists were deeply disap pointed over the President's attitude and did not conceal their chagrin as they left the White House.
