Georgia and has high hopes that the
observance will be State-wide In an
other year. A number of cities, in
*pito of the short time in which they
have had to prepare for a church
going campaign, have taken up the
project this year and will observe the
day with Atlanta.
The pi an has struck a popular
chord of approval with ministers and
laity and those at the head of the
movement are considering how best
all of Georgia may he included in the
observance next year and afterward.
Advice to Pastors.
'Plie pastors of the various churches
are asked to fill out the return postals
sent to them-and mail them imme
diately after the evening service. A
notation should be made of the total
attendance at the two services, to
gether with the normal or average
attendance, so that a fair idea of the
increase due to ‘‘Go-to-C'hurch Day”
may be obtained.
Because of change of residence and
pastorates, some of the return f^mtals
may not reach their proper destina
tion. In such cases the pastor should
place the figures on an ordinary pos
tal card and mail it Sunday night
after the evening service to the
Church Editor of The Georgian.
A compilation of the attendance
will be made the i ext Monday morn
ing and the result announced at once.

Pulpit Flattery Is
Secret of Success,
Says Dr. McConnell
Dr. Lincoln McConnell, pastor of j
j ihe Baj iist Tabernacle in Atlanta.!
gave away some of the secrets of his
j pulpit oratory while lie was* in De
troit, Mich., this week, one of his
j bits of advice, according to a Vlis-
: patch from Detroit, was that the
I j readier should flatter the women of
| his congregation by praising their
: beauty, and the men by making them
* hink they are thinkers.
‘A preacher can’t attract an uu-
c ierice of men unless he makes them
think they are thinkers; he can’t im
press an audience of women unless
he get* in a word in flattery of their
ibeuutj.” declared Dr. McConnell.
‘ Men don’t get down without first
thinking down,” he said in talking
about the psychology of sin. “Men
don't get up without first thinking up.
“If the preacher starts ms address
to women by affirming that the au
dience is the handsomest body of
women he ev< r talked i<». the home
liest woman in the audience will g<»
borne and say the preacher was look
ing straight at her when he said so."

A Certain Young
Man
worked liis way up to a good position and for some years had been
in receipt of a splendid salary. . ^
He had the confidence and respect of his employers. They diU
‘•ided to take him into the firm on condition that he make an in\
vestment of $1,500. It was a big opportunity for this young man
a chance of a lifetime.
Imagine his regret when he stood before his employers and
confessed that he had saved no money, but had spent his salary as
he received it—frittered it away.
Needless to say, he didn’t get the partnership.

Xo man or wnnjan who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forma uric
acid, which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only part
of the waste and poisons from the
blood; then you get nick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts. <>r if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts front
any reliable pharmacy and take a table-
j spoonful in a glass of water before
i breakfast for a few days, and your kid-
I neys w ill then act fine. This famous
i salts is-made from the acid of grapes-;
j and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
and lias been used for generations to
i flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
i them to activity, also to neutralize the
1 acids in urine so it no longer cuuses
l irritation, thus ending bladder disor-
I der:'*.
j Jad Salts is inexpensive ami can not
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
I lithia-water drink, which all regular
j meat eaters should take now and then to
I keep the kidneys clean and the blood
j pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
[complications.—Advt.
