It is a well-known fact to hun

to furnish information of ihe spread
of illegal houses on the ground that
he was not a "vice squad” or an of

that .Mr. Adair give his information

“Colonel Paxon." said the Chief,

rality. and nobody like- to have their
Children read such stuff as has been
printed In these bulletins from time
to time.
“Some of the language used has
been unfit for transmission through
the mails and decidedly unfit for
reading irt the home. Many of the
bulletins have been of such a charac
ter that no one possibly could be ben
efited. notably the one that told of the
young woman at Martha’s Home dy
ing from a disease she contracted
from an inmate of the place.
“That bulletin did no one good and
It certainly did the young woman’s
memory irreparable injury. The pub
lication of the bulletins in their pres
ent form should not continue, unless
they are confined to a discussion of
tin* things for which the movement
was originally organized.”
George W. Parrot Among Critics.
George W Parrot, president of the
Piedmont Hotel Company and a resi
dent of Atlanta for more than 50
years, also indorsed the criticisms
made against the movement by Colo
nel Paxon and Mr Adair.
“I am with Mr Adair and Colonel
Paxon In this.thing," he said "I arn
glad they have taken the stand they
have. The bulletins have been doing
Atlanta much more harm than good
and It Is time they were stopped.”
R. B Blackburn, well-known at
torney and member of the State Leg
islature, Indorsed the plan df L. J.
Daniel to call a mass meeting to pro
test against the continuation of the
bulletins and the propaganda of the
Men and Religion Movement!
"Such a meeting, conservatively
conducted," said Mr. Blackburn,
"would undoubtedly result in a lot of
good. In that It would bring out the
sentiment of the entire city concern
ing these bulletins and their effect or
Atlanta. T would certainly be willing
to attend and take part in such a
meeting, and believe it would be the
best thing that could be done al this
time.
"The continual agitation of im
moral subjects and the constant ad
vertising that Atlanta reeks with
wickedness and vice is doing the city
great harm all over the country, and
should bo stopped. The entire agita
tion of the Men and Religion Move
ment has been detrimental to the
city, and 1 do not think the recent
vice crusade which the movemen*
started and carried through had any
appreciable effect on the morals of
the people. Intelligent y^nien have
recognized through all trie ages that
man is imbued of both good and bad
passions, and the only way to handle
these passions is to control them, for
as long as men arc human you can
not eradicate them.
Given City Black Eye.
“The Men and Religion Movement
should begin soon to realize that w f a
t:re all human beings, and teach
things that can he accomplished by
human teings, not tilings that onjy
angels could hope to accomplish.
“These bulletins, and their contin
ual agitation of a matter that can
not be prevented, have given Atlanta
a black eye all over the country. Peo
ple are prevented from coining here
to live because they get the impres
sion that the city reeks with vice,
when as h matter of fact is is prob
ably the cleanest city of its size in
the country. The language of some
of the bulletins has been unspeak
able. and the most vicious thing that
was ever done in Atlanta was the
publication of tile fact that a young
woman, the matron of the Martha's
Home, had died of a disease contract
ed through kissing one of the Inmates
of the place. That certainly accom
pllshed no good, and its publication
was a disgrace to the Men and Re
ligion Forward Movement.
"I heartily approve of everything
that Colonel Paxon and Mr. Adair
have said, and am with them in their
fight."
Move tor Mass Meeting.
Agitation for a mass meeting of ihe
citizen.** of Atlanta to protest against
the present propaganda of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement was
given new impetus Tuesday when L.
.1. Daniel, president of the Daniel
Bros. Company, and a leader in mu
nicipal affairs, enthusiastically In
dorsed tin* plan.
Mr. Daniel declared that such a
meeting of protest had become al
most a municipal necessity, if Atlanta
is to continue on the upward pafli of
progress, unretarded by a nation-wide
reputation for wickedness and vice
with which he declared the bulletins
are branding the city throughout the
I'nited States. He ^declared that ho
would attend the meeting, and. if nec
essary. make a speech against the
bulletins, and expressed his willing
ness to be one of an> number of men
to call the gathering, at vtfhich all
citizens, on both sides, would he ;it
liberty to express their views. B. J.
Kisoman, secretary of the Kisemm
Bros. Company, declared Tuesday that
he favored the idea of a meeting, and
that he would attend.
"The agitation against the bulle
tins has reached such an acute stage.”
declared Mr. Daniel, "that a meeting
of protest appears to be almost a ne
cessity W hile 1 do not care to take
the responsibility of calling the meet
ing alone, 1 will be willing to sign i
call withnhree or four other reputable

-Movement Plan* Meetmg
The Men and Religion Forward j
Movement leaders. It was learned on |
Tuesday, have engaged the Grand i
I Opera House for the second Sunday
j In January, and a mass meeting ha-
j been called to which all the citizens I
of Atlanta have been invited. Al- I
though if Is generally understood that |
j Ihe meeting was arranged before the
controversy over the bulletins and tin-
work of the movement developed, it is
( probable that the row will result in
changes In the contemplated pro

New Bulletin Issued.
Following its usual custom. the
Men and Religion executive commit
tee issued another bulletin Tuesday
and significantly enough entitled it
thus; "The night is far spent. The
darkness is passing away and the
true light already shineth,” a text
taken from John.
The bulletin makes no direct refet-
ence to the recent/at tacks that have
stirred the entire city. It flings in
direct defiance at foes of the bulle
tins by referring in no uncertain
terms to “children blinded—asylums
crowded—«Jails overflowing as the re
sult of vice and alcohol."
The only part of the bulletin that
seems like « direct reply to the va
rlous criticisms reads- as follows
"Christ has shown the way to bloc k |
•rtain , -.ii #
light of Ht« love—the light of know)
edge And throughout the w^rld light
in His name is being brought to bear
upon the evilsi that blight and mar
the lives of men and the children of
men Christ has said, ‘You shall know
the truth and the truth shall set you
free.' "
The bulletin continues with an at
tack on the liquor evil and an appeal
to the “social clubs” to curb the Jiq-
uor evil. It declares that any sale
whatever of liquor is a violation of
the law, and declares that “Judge's on
the bench, Jurors in the box. gentie-
men in their clubs have no option. ’
"l am not opposed to the. Men and
Religion Forward Iovement as it was
originally conceived and outlined in
Atlanta." said Mr. Daniel, talking of a
public meeting. “The work for which
It was organized was work of a con
structive nature and had my hearty
approval and aid. But It has wan
dered from the paths into which its
feet were placed, and has undertaken
to run the city and be u censor of the
conduct of the entire citizenship.
Says City Has Been Harmed.
"It has done incalculable harm to
Atlanta all over the country, and mer
chant?! feel the effect it has had on
their business. Duriifg the recent
holidays, although most of the local
merchants, including myself, had the
best season of their history, the ab-
sence of one class of trade was ap
palling That class was the young
men of neighboring towns who usual
ly come to Atlanta to purchase th. ir
holiday goods—there were very few of
them here this year.
"The damage done to Atlanta out
side of the city and Georgia by the
bulletins is tremendous. Many peo
ple have decided not to send their
boys and girls to Atlanta schools oe-
eause they have read the bulletins and
obtained the impression that Atlanta
simply reeks with wickedness. Tho
city has a reputation for being wick; d
that extends from one coast to the
other, and it is due to the constant
agitation of immoral subjects in these
bulletins of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement.”
Ma*6 Meeting Likely.
Mr. Danjel’s suggestion that a
meeting he called to protest against
the bulletins has met with the ap
proval of many of the men who are
supporting Colonel Paxon and Mr.
Adair. The latter said he would be
willing to attend and take part in
such a meeting, and Colonel Paxon
declared that such a gathering seemed
the logical outcome of the agitation.
Others declared themselves in favor
of the meeting, and U is freely pre
dicted that the suggestion of Mr.
Daniel that the meeting be called by
half a dozen responsible business men
will bear fruit within a few days.
Although more than a score of busi
ness men. including Robert F. Mad
dox, of the American National Bank;
Ivan K. Allen, chairman of the At
lanta Convention^ureau and the man
who put the Oglethorpe prjbject
through, and John E. Murphy, vice
president of the Trust Company of
Georgia, have enlisted with Colonel
Paxon and Mr. Adair in their fight
on the bulletins and the present prop
aganda of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, statements made hy
various members of the Executive
Committee Tuesday indicated that
they are in full accord with the pol
icy outlined exclusively in The Geor
gian Monday by John j. Eagan, chair
man of the movement, of ignoring all
eriteisms directed against the com
mittee and continuing Its work along
the same lines as heretofore.
Those meml who consented to
make public statements regarding
their attitude in the controversy
warmly indorsed the bulletins as writ
ten by Marion Jackson, and declared
that they have done and are doing in
finitely more good than harm. Ry
Harry Etheridge, one of the members,
Mr. Jackson was called a “genius."
"He and John Eagan are the great
est moral force that Atlanta has ever
had." declared Etheridge.
Jackson Has Silence Policy.
Marion Jackson declared Tuesday
morning that no statement of any
kind would hereafter be issued by his
committee, and that the policy of the
movement leaders would be to take
no notice of the criticism. While he
refused to be quoted. Mr. Jackson
reiterated the statement he made to
The Georgian Monday that the work
of the movement would continue as
though nothing had happened. A bul
letin will appear in Tuesday’s Geor
gian. but Mr. Jackson declined to
state what subject it will discuss.
in indorsing the bulletins that al- I
ready have appeared and approving!
the language in which they were
clothed, members of the executive
committee stated that the work would
go on and bulletins appear regularly
despite the criticisms and attacks by
Mr. Adair. Colonel Paxon and oth
ers
“1 will engage in no controversy,”
declared J W. Patterson, one of the
members, "but l will say this much—I

peared, and which seem to have start

not conceive why they should do it.
unless it is that they are afraid the
agitation will eventually result in a
strict enforcement of the prohibition
laws.”
Dr O. B. Wilmer. prominent Epis
copalian minister and member of the
committee, declared that l.e had noth
ing to say for publication.
W. W. Orr, of the George Muse
Clothing Company, who also is a
member df the committee, likewise
declined to malte any public state
ment.
J. K. Orr, of the J. K. Orr Shoe
Company, also indorsed th bulletins
and declared ihe work should con
tinue.
Lauds Vice Crusade.
Attorney Harry Etheridge, a mem
ber of the committee, declared that
he approved of every bulletin that
h^s been published, with the excep
tion of one that appeared during
Mayoi Woodward’s last campaign,
which, he declared, was worded in a
manner calculated to do Mr. Wood
ward more good than harm
Colonel Frederic J. Paxon declared
Tuesday that he is more than ever
convinced that the majority of the
people of Atlanta are disgusted with
the bulletins that have been appear
ing recently signed by the Executive
Committee of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement. d declared
that since his interview criticising
them appoarop exclusively in Sun
day’'- American he has received more
than ”00 messag s of congratulation
on the stand he has taken.
“Monday more than twenty wom
en, some of them among the most in
fluential in Atla.ita. called me up and
expressed their approval of my ac
tion in taking a stand against the
disgusting bulletins issued by the
movement," Colonel Paxon said. “Ore
of them told me she had found it
necessary to have the newspaper *n
which they were appearing discon
tinued because her 12-year-old daugh
ter had formed the habit of reading
them and of asking questions that
could hardly be answered.”
Colonel Paxon showed a Georgian
reporter a stack of letters a foot high
that had come in during the day, ail
from people indorsing his stand. On
his desk were half a dozen telephone
calls that had come in during a few
minutes’ absence from his office.
Mr. Paxon and Mr. Adair both said
Tuesday that they had received hun- J
d recta of telephone calls from people '
praising them for th<ir criticisms and '
asMiring th**m of their support, wofh l
r* < «*ived a call from A. XV. Elliott, »u- i
perintendent of the Southern fescue*
M. s!on, who declared that he waV (
heartily in accord with their views,,
especially with those, of Mr. Adair. .
who declared that the vice crusade
had scattered the social evil instead i
of exterminating it. Mr. Elliott, Mr.
Adair declared, told him that he had
not even gone far enough in his state
ments.
Dan E. Allen, chairman of the
Convention Bureau, and one of the
city's most influential leaders in civic
affairs declared that the Men and Re- j
ligion Forward Movement is trying to
cover too much territory, and de
plored it« attempt to regulate ihe
liquor business of Atlanta. He also
declared- that some of the language |
used In many of the bulletins should
never have been printed.
Robert F. Maddox, vice president of
the American National Bank and one
of the city’s leading men, declared
that the Men and Religion Forward
Movement has wandered greatly from
the original ain: of the movement as
it was explained when the movement
was inaugurated in Atlanta.
"The movement as first organized."
said Mr. Maddox, “was Intended to
develop interest in settlement work. I
associated charities work, nublic hos-
pita 1 work and similar things, a? I
understood it, and' I do not believe
the movement in Atlanta is following
the plans outlined at that time.
“I doubt the wisdom of what the
movement is doing, and J do not be
lieve they ar^ accomplishing the re
sults at which they are striving. On
the otner hand. I think some of the
bulletins have injured the good repu
tation Atlanta has always enjoyed.”
The criticisms direoted against the
bulletins by Colonel Paxon were
heartily indorsed by Charles Winship,
president of the Continental Cotton
Gin Company.
.Mr. Paxon has the right idea,’
said Mr. Winship, “and I indorse
every word he ways. The bulletins
are read by young people who do not
understand them, and the resultan.1
discussions lower the tone of social
intercourse and are decidedly harm
ful."
B. J. Eiseman’s Views.
B, J. Eiseman, secreta**v of the
Elseman Brothers’ Company and one
of the business men wh£ have at
tended the informal conferences held
recently, at which the question of
agitating a protest against the Men
and Religion Movement and its bul
letins was discussed, declared Tues
day that he agreed with Colonel Pax
on and Mr. Adair that the bulletins
and the propaganda of the movement
are harmful, both to the city and to
its inhabitants.
"T most certainly approve of Colo
nel Paxon’*? and Mr. Adair’s criti
cisms," said Mr. Eiseman, “and agree
with them that something should be
done to halt the publication of the
bulletins. They have worked great
damage to the city in the outside
world, and It is only logical to sup
pose that they have hurt business,
inasmuch as business is the life of
any city. -They have created the im
pression in the minds of people
throughout the country that Atlanta
is a hot-bed of wickedness ahd vice.
“Many people have failed to come
to Atlanta who would have come here
and brought their business here and
made their homes here had it not
been for these bulletins.

MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN No. 91
The Night Is Far Spent
"The darkness is pass
ing away and the true
light already shineth.”
1 John ii:8
"God said—Let there be light: and there was light.’’
Jesus said—
“The light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light.”
They crucified Christ.
But John, who with Mary Magdalene saw the risen Lord—John before he died
wrote—
“The darkness is passing away—the true light already shineth.”
To-morrow, before the break of day, when the coming sun is only crimsoning the
eastern sky with its rays, go forth and cry—
“0 night, remain! Dawn not, 0 day!”
But, when the day has come, cease crying against the sun and know that God rules.
MEN HAVE PRAYED “THY KINGDOM COME.” They have asked wisdom of
God. Yea, they have asked it not alone with moving lips, but with beating hearts and
tireless brain.
To-day, man can map the course of star, planet and sun—He knows the exact
point in space where Halley’s comet goes hurtling on its way—We may not hope to see
its flame again. But our children’s children will know the minute and the hour, long
after we have fallen asleep, that the comet’s mystic blaze will be seen again sweeping
across the horizon of our world.
' Man, too, has mapped the course of certain sins.
Made in the image of God, man knows with unerring accuracy how the image of
God in man is marred and defiled by the track of sin.
Men see children blinded—asylums crowded—jails overflowing as the result of vice
and alcohol.
They see the innocent suffering and dying because of the sins of men.
They know. And then they behold the cross of Christ—They hear Him saying—
“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”
Christ has shown the way to block the path of certain sins—Light—the Light of
His love—the Light of knowledge. And throughout the world light in His name is
being brought to bear upon the evils that blight and mar the lives of men and the chil
dren of men.
Christ has said:—
“You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”
For freedom God’s children fight. i
Atlanta is only a small part of the battlefield.
But here, look—
CHRISTMAS 1912 was the first that beheld every public brothel closed in Atlanta.
They are still closed: none will open them.
And many, many cities as a result have driven Protected Vice from their midst.
Throughout the world the alliance between police departments and criminals is being
broken.
CHRISTMAS 1913 locker clubs and bars in Atlanta were closed for the day.
Mayor Woodward rightly said:—“We should close them on the birthday of our
Savior. ’ ’
All agreed—Drunkenness on that day is out of place.
Yesterday, in a distant State, fifty-seven little children were buried: they were
crushed in a panic: it is said a man with alcohol-laden breath, coming from a saloon,
shouted fire in a crowded hall. Doubtless, he thought it fun, before he saw the frightful
results of his folly.
None desired such a thing Christmas Day in Atlanta.
Men were unwilling on Jhat day of days to have a part in sending drunken men
home to innocent women and children.
Thank God for the results!
A local paper says:— 1 ' A perceptible decrease in the violence, debauchery and blood
shed that once was associated with the holidays.”
Mayor Woodward said:—“We should close them on the birthday of our Lord.”
In His name we ask that they be closed every day—that our laws be obeyed. Our
safety depends upon respect for law.
Georgia’s Legislature,® seeing the monstrous evils of the liquor trade, has forbid
den it.
Judges on the bench, jurors in the box, gentlemen in their clubs have no option—
the law applies to all.
The sale of an intoxicant in a club, Whether it be purely a social organization or
one organized simply to cloak the blind tiger, is a violation of the law of our State.
WE APPEAL TO THE MEMBERS of those clubs which are organized purely for
social purposes and for the city’s good—you love Atlanta and your State—you, too,
are trying to obey God’s law of love.
You have no wish to furnish an excuse or an example to men who are committing
crime for gain.
We ask that you do it not—that you see that the law in your club is obeyed.
We beg the men who are committing crime for money to desist J
The end is certain. —
You will pay the penalty.
Most respectfully we ask our Mayor—the Police Department—and our representa
tives in Council—We most respectfully petition the State and County officials to see
that the laws of,our State are enforced in every place, every day as well as on the
birthday of our Lord.
Followers of Christ are averse to law-breaking and oath-breaking every day as well
as Christmas.
Men are seeing the FUTILITY OF A RELIGION LIMITED TO CHRISTMAS OR
TO FIFTY-TWO SUNDAYS IN THE YEAR—it causes cartoons such as one recently
published in a magazine devoted to attacking the Church and building up Socialism
a group of women and working girls are standing before the door of a great church
building—one says to another with a sneer:—
That s right, girls the cross on Sundays, the double cross on week days.”
Poison distilled and brewed by the ‘deadly inconsistencies of our lives.
The cross of Christ—its light is driving slowly but surely greed and treachery from
our midst. ■*
Men who think rejoice—
Everywhere they see the signs of the dawning day.
THE NIGHT OF THE DOUBLE CROSS IS FAR SPENT.
“The darkness is passing away and the true light already shineth.”

AND RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT
