INTERNATIONAL “GO
- TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
DAY” ON NOVEMBER 4
& —_—
States Have Agreed to Hold Event
o In Fall And All Have
Big Rally Day.
Sunday, November 4th, is “Inter
national Go-To-Sunday School Day”,
and will be observed in the United
State of the Union and the Privinces
in Canada. It is an interdenomina
tional movement which started sev
eral years ago and became so popu
lar that' the International Sunday
School Association corresponded with
the Sunday School leaders in the va
rious States with the result that it
was decided to make it an Interna
tional movement.
“Go-To-Sunday School Day” has
been observed in Georgia for the
past three years in February, but as
Georgia y-zmts to be a part of the In
{ernational movement, the day will
hereafter be observed’ the first Sun
day in November. Another reason
for making the change is that better
weather can be expected in Novem
ber than in February. |
The principal aim of the day is te
have a record breaking attendance in
the Sunday Schools of all denomina
tions in America, and to try to make
the lessons and sessions unusually
attractive by having a special pro
gram, with the view of creating more
interest in the Sunday Schools and
securing a larger regular attend
ance. Large posters to be put up in
the Sunday Schoel advertising the
day, and the International program
will be furnished free on request by
the Georgia Sunday School Associa
tion, 1519 Huart Building, Atlanta.
SUNDAY SCHOOL EXHIBIT AT
THE SOUTHEASTERN FAIR.
One of the most attractive exhibits
at the Southeastern Fair, Atlanta,
October 13-20th, will be the Sunday
School Exhibit. Last year the Su"-l
day School exhibit, which was the
first exhibit of its kind in Georgia,
proved such a success that plans have
been made for another exhibit this
year.
The Southeasterm Fair Association
has made the Sunday School exhibit
a part of the Fair and has donated
space for the exhibit and has also of
fered first and second cash premiums
for the best original material sent
from the varisus Sunday Schools ef
the State.
The premiums are offered only fm-’
original material, such as Gradle Rell |
Charts, paper folding and tearing,
color work, workbooks, medeling, il
lustrated seng er story, map work,
invitation cards and stationery, cal
endars, honor rolls, soavenirs of spe
cial days and many other things. The
material for the exhibit should be
sent to Mr. D. W. Sims, Superin
tendent, care Southeasterm Fagir As
sociation, Atlantg, Ga., and should
be received not ‘ate»r than Qctober
Bth.
All Sunday School workers ef all
derominations of the State are in
vited to send material for the exhi
bit. The material will be arranged
by the Georgia Sunday School As
sociation, and they will also have one
of the State workers en hand at the
exhibit to explain the materizl to
these who visit the beoth. .

THIS OLD STORY IS STILL TRUE TODAY
Most everybody knows Mr. J. N. Squires and will be interest
ed in this old rhymne that he recited when a boy. He made the
“speech” on regular speaking day at the Wagner Academy in
Franklin, Tenm, in 1857. While studying the piece he acci
dentally tore the paper on which it was written right down the
middle, but his mother, who was mending some clothes for his
{ather, repaired the damage in a unique way. She broke off
her thread and sewed the paper right down the middle with the
cotton thread in it is still there today after sixty years. All
the writing is still plain and easily Tead but the paper is yellow
with age and the edges are frayed.
Mr. Squires will be 75 years of age in February. He has
pever worked at anything since leaving home other than on the
N. C. and St. L. Railroad where he served as engineer for forty
four years. He was retired with a pension after this long ser
vice. \
The moral of this rhymn is very true today—as there are
many things still “made to sell”, and are good for nothing else.
¢ A fellow in a market town, /
Most musically cried up and down,
And offered twelve‘ for eighteen pence;
Which certainly seemed wonderous cheap,
and for the money quite a heap,
As every man would buy, wi{ cash and sense.
A countey bumpkin the great offer heard;
Poor’Hodge, who suffered by a broad black beard,
That seemed a shoe brush stuck beneath his nose;
With cheerfulness, the eighteen pence he paid,
And proudly to himslf, in whispers, said:
“This rascal stole the razors I suppose.
No matter if the fellow be a knave,
Provided that the razors shave;
It certainly will be a monstrous prize.”
So home the clown, with his good fortune went —«
Smiling—in heart and soul content—
And quickly soaped himself, to ears and eyes.
Being well lathered from dish or tub,
Hodge now began, with grinning pain, to grub;
Just like a hedger' cutting fuzze.
"Twas a vile razor!—the rest he try’d—
All were imposters! ‘“Ah"”, lodge sighel,
“I wish my eighteen pence wcre in my purse!”
In vain te chase his beard, and bring the graces,
He cut, and dug, and winced, and stamp’d, and swore,
Brought blood, and danc’d, blashphemed, and made wry
faces;
And cursed each razor body o'cr, o'er;
His muzzle, formed opposition stuff:
Firm as a Foxite, would not lose its ruff,
Se kept it—laughing at the steel and suds.
. Hodge in a passion, stretched his angry jaws,
Vowing the direst vengeance, with clenrch’d claws,
On the vile cheat, that sold the goods—
“‘Razors; /‘(a fould confound:d dog)— -
Net fit to scrape a hog.”
Hodge sought the fellow—found him, and began
‘“Perhaps, Master razor rogue, to yeu it's fun,
That people flay themselves cut of their lives!
You rascal! for an hour have I been grubbing,
Giving my screundrel whiskers here a scrubbing,
With razors, just like oyster Lnives.
Sirrah! I tell you, yeu're a knave,
To ery razors that can’t shove!”
Friend (quoth the razer man) I'ma not a lnava:
As for the razers you have lought,
Upoen my soul I mever thought,
That they would shave.
“Not think they’d shave”—quoth Hedes with wond'ring
eyes, :
And veoice not much unlike an Indian yell;
“What were they made for then? vou dog!” he cries:
“Made?” quoth the fellow, with a smile—‘‘to sell.”
