uphold tlie methods of the Men am 1

Though Dr. Ogden is the first At- j

tion of making the controversy the
subject of a sermon, it is understood
that half a dozen others will refer to
the agitation in their Sunday tlis- |
courses. All of these, it is known,
will defend the bulletins and the
methods of the Men and Religion
Movement and will plead for a ces
sation of the agitation against them
on the ground that the bulletins j
doing Atlanta a great deal of good in;
that they are shedding light In the
dark places and ore a part of i cam
paign of education that is intended to
benefit the city morally
It is expected that the .sermons of
Sunday will be followed by official In
dorsement of the Men and Religion
Movement when ".he Fvangeiical Min

The Rev. II Schaeffer, president of
the association, stated a week ago
that if the agitation attained suffi
cient proportions the organization
would take official cognizance of it.
and with half a hundred business men
backing up Colonel Paxon and Mr
Adair, action by the ministers is re
garded as certain.
“Men and Religion” to Meet.
It also is regarded as practically
certain that the agitation will be the
subject of considerable discussion at
tlie Monday meeting of the Men and
Religion Movement. Several of the
members brought up the subject of
thn controversy last Monday, but a
statement of what transpired was re
fused by the leaders of the move
ment.
Leaders in the opposition claim
that at least two of the members are
surprised that there are any reputa-
b> citizens of Atlanta against the
issuance; of ihe bulletins, and that
they are in favor of suspending their
publication until some less objection
able method of work can be arranged.
This, however, Is denied by the
members of the committee and by
the leaders of the movement, who de-
dare th.it the bulletins arc In full ac
cord with the ideas of all the mem
bers of the committee
Protests Continue.
Colonel Paxon declared Friday that
1 e still is receiving large numbers of
letters and messages from various
citizens of Atlanta who are congrat
ulating him on the stand he has
taken, and assuring him of their sup-
