for supplying Georgia with one
of the flneat State collections In
America.
And here's another and very *pe-
ial feature of the expedition:
Hardy Ulm, executive secretary to
tiie Governor and known in his news
paper days as “Slippery lTim," is go-
ing to delve into the hugglsh myn-
t^riea of the big swamp to the extent
of three days, anyway.
Mr. rim is not exactly “strong" on
the bugs, but be is keen on advon-
•ure, and the reverberant echoes of a
large hear, slain by Mr. Worsham on
a former excursion, have raised Mr.
I’lm's sporting blood to several de
grees above the fewer mark
“We will join the expedition on
Thursday morning at Fargo, Ga..’’
said Mr Worsham. "And the excur
sion will start at once from that
point, which is right on the edge of
the big swamp. We will have to walk
and wade about twenty miles, to be
gin with, and that is no work for
mollycoddles, 1 can tell you. Last
time I was in the great realm of ihe
Trembling Earth*—that's what the
Indian name means it took us two
hours to struggle along three-quar
ters of one mile ”
Mr. Worsham added that the expe
dition was one of the preliminary re
searches In advance i f the^big meet
ing in Atlanta December 29 to Janu
ary 3. when delegates to the conven
tion of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science will
gather here. The association has .i
membership of nearly 10,000, and
there Is sure to be a large attendant e
at the meeting here
in their churches when they fall to
take advantage of the space the
newspapers offer.
"’Go-to-Church Day’ was a splen
did idea, i am frank to say that it
increased the attendance at my
morning service probably by 300 over
what it naturally would have been on
a rainy, disagreeable day like it was.
“•It was the largest morning at
tendance at St. Mark Methodist in
three years. I don’t think that mis
states it in the least. The church is
comparatively new, and we do not
often fill the building. Yesterdas
morning practically every' seat was
taken, xiuu it not been for the weath
er. I would have had to hold an over
flow meeting downstairs, and, in fact,
I had begun to make preparations for
it, ns it was, when I saw the crowds
pouring in.
Filled to Seating Capacity.
"We had 800 there—all we could
seat. With a bright, pleasant day it
would have .been 1.000. We held a
short service ag tin in the afternoon,
but none at night."
"Even a week ago we had an in-
cre ised attendance,” said the Rev. C.
W. Daniel, of the First Baptist
Church, in making his report.. “I as
cribe this to the interest in chuich
attendance that had been awakened
by the campaign of The Georgian in
behalf of ‘Go-to-Church Day.’
“We had by accurate count 815 at
our morning service yesterday. Our
normal attendance is 700 on a pleas
ant day. I am certain we could not
have taken care of the crowds yes
terday had the sun been shining.
“My people and myself are very
much pleased with the outcome.
There is no doubt that it is a good
thing and that it is a movement that
should be encouraged and continued
from^year to year. I hope that its ef-
to-Church Day’ should be made an
annual affair. Greater interest will
be taken in It from year to year and
its benefits will become more, lasting.
1 look upon It as great and permanent
stimulus to church attendance.”
Adventists Start Week of Prayer.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church
had the distinction of being the first
of all Atlanta's churches to make a
report of attendance. The Adventists,
however, had a day’s handicap on the
other denominations as they hold
their weekly meetings on Saturday.
Because of this advantage they were
able to mail in their postal card re
port Saturday evening.
A feature of the services was a
special call to prayer and a deeper
consecration. N. V. Willess, the pas
tor, announced that “Go-to-Church
Day” would he the beginning of a
week of prayer. Meetings will be
held every evening this week at the
church, No. 507 East Fair street, the
services beginning at 7:45 o’clock.
Every seat was filled at the Cen
tral Baptist Chuch. of which Dr.
Caleb A. Ridley Is pastor. Tn order
to accommodate the crowds it was
necessary to’place chairs in the aisles.
Dr. Ridley spoke on “The Saints’ Se
cret of Happiness.”

Dear iSir: I am one of hundreds in Atlanta who wish to
aid Vhe Empty Stocking Fund your paper lias so generously
started
Like hundreds of others 1 have been deterred from sub
scribing because my income, is so limited that I can not be
among those Icadyrsrwho have already, assured a happy t ule-
tide for scores of little Atlantans.
Hut I lmve a scheme. It is not original. Neither was the
idea of airships born in the brain oTAVillmr Wright, nor did
Marconi perfect, the wireless until many men had died dis
appointed in an endeavor to do what the Italian genius ac
complished.
I lore s t he scheme :
1 want to organize a "Good Follows Flub” to boost
the Empty Stocking Fund.
The name tolls the class of men I want to appeal to. I’ll
he 'explicit. I want to call on that class of wage earners—
good wage earners who live in furnished apartments or
hoarding houses, who have no Atlanta home ties, hut who
would love to have some part in the joy of an Atlanta home
though no public credit will be given them.
I am appealing to the class of men who spend anywhere
from $1 to !(;') a day in beer saloons and locker clubs.
I do not believe that they are doing any wrong when they
do so. They have to find the congeniality in those places that
the person with home ties find at home.
Hut I want every one of these “good fellows’ to lay off
the Stuff a dollar’s worth and send that dollar to the Empty
Stocking Fund.
They will not miss the dollar, hut Christmas Day when
the deserving children of Atlanta find that Santa Claus has
not forgotten them, the men who have made this little self-
denial will feel a thrill that was never inspired by Christmas
eggnog.
Here’s inv dollar.
Now lets all he GOOD FELLOWS.
A GOOD FELLOW.

The Rev. William Russell Owen, of
the Capitol Avenue Baptist Church,
sal 1 that he had a better attendance
than he ordinarily would have had on
a rainy day. “The idea is a good
one." he said. “It gets people out
that don’t go to church often and
some that have not been inside
church doors before for months, or
maybe years.
Urges Regular Observance.
“With all of the ministers of the
city co-operating It can be made an
institution in the future. ‘Go-to-
Church Day’ should be observed an
nually in Atlanta and in the entire
State of Georgia, for that matter.”
The Rev. B. F. Fraser, of St. Paul’s
Methodist Church, said:
“After witnessing what it accom
plished for the churches of Atlanta
yesterday, when the day was wet and
stormy, I want to Indorse. ‘Go-to-
Church Day,’ World without end.
“We had a tine congregation—
more than 1,000 in the morning—and
it would have been much larger had
the day been pleasant and had our
people taken hold of it from the be
ginning. i was away in Florida when
The Georgian advanced the sugges
tion. and as a consequence there was
no real work done by St. Paul’s
Methodist In the way of stimulating
interest and issuing personal Invita
tions until I reached Atlanta only a
few days ago.
"The ministers of Atlanta, I am
sure, are profoundly grateful for the
idea. It is a capital one and should
work out with even greater success

get a more adequate conception of
what it really means to them.
