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.” Double Tragedy in High Circles at Sofia Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
