Church Attendance Means Much to Each Person
Church-Going is not a thing of any fine Sunday but is valuable for
every Sunday.
Every argument for church going is an argument for going to
church Sunday after Sunday.
, Every Sunday has some special message for the special need of ev
ery individual.
Sunday is a day of rest from worldly troubles and perplexities and
church service should be esteemed a privilege by those who have labored.
Church-going is a mutual affair—you need the church and the
church needs you the community needs church activities.
Church-going is a commercial necessity; that community is most
prosperous and best to live in, whose citizenship is a church going con
stituency, and whose ideas of Sunday observance are churchward.
Church-going brings physical rest and spiritual refreshment, and
no one can meet his personal need by absenting himself from church.
Church-going is beneficial mentally, morally and spiritually, vou
get, the uplift of ideas, and stimulation of thought.
To be open-minded means to be able to accept for the most part
what is proffered and to apply the teachings of the word to your per
sonal needs.
I will praise thee, 0 Lord, among' the people: I will sing unto Thee among the
Nations. For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the clouds.”

Why Not Invite “Billy” Sunday to
Augusta ? World Famous Evangelist
Just a Few Years Ago He Was a Baseball Star—Was Con
verted and Began His Ministerial Career at Once Has
Been Charged With Low Sensationalism, But Today Every
one is After His Services. *
Rllly ’ Sunday Is perhaps the most
noted evangelist in the world today.
Just a few years ago he was a base
ball star. He was converted and be
gan his ministerial career at once. Th t
energy, nerve, and brains he had used
on the diamond, he took ovej* into the
evangelistic field, and in a short time
he iiad become prominent as a preach
er. With tlie passing of time he has
not shrunk, hut is today |n such de
mand that all engagements must be
made two years ahead. His reputa
tion as an evanlegist Is world wide.
Suspicious.
!■ or years the more conservative of
preachers and laymen have looked
with suspicion of the methods of Mr.
Sunday. He has been charged with
low sensationalism; he has been railed
a mountebank ;he has been accused
of plaglrism, the charge being that
he took, verbatim, the famous oration
of Robert Ingersoll at Gettysburg and
wove it into a sermon. Rut over all

and has had such genuine success that
one cannot resist the impression that
he is ordained of Heaven for the work
in which he is engaged.
After Sunday,
Pastors of many of the great cities
are now after Sunday. New York is
planning a campaign under his lead
ership two years hence. The meetings
under Sunday’s auspices were instru
mental in cleaning up the city and
placing the churches on the city’s
map. Dr. Maitland Alexander, pastor
of the hirst Presbyterian chuTch of
Pittsburg, declares that the city was
chastened and reformed by Sunday’s
preaching. Among some of the tan
gible results, not to count the large
number added to the membership of
the churches, are a Bible class of
wealthy men who had formerly had a
poker club; the reduction of the
miners’ drink hill, formerly very
heavy; the organization of a religious
department with an ordained minister
in charge, by the Cambria Steel Com
pany, said to he one of the largest in
the city.
Results.
These and other notable results
Vtould indicate that the preaching of
Sunday reaches all classes, and that
nis meetings are a blessing to any peo
ple.
If th pastors of this city wish him,
it would not be too early to take lip
the matter at once and arrange for
his coming in 1916. That would seem
far ahead for some of us, no doubt,
but it would give the pastors a goal
W u rk *°* ** would enable the
churches to prepare for the united
campaign. It would give them a
chance to work in double harness and
learn each other. It would afford am
ple time to advertise the meetings,
and if needed, build an auditorium of
ample seating capacity.

Every Sunday finds the pastors of our churches ready with a mes
sage from which you can extract good.
If the pastor does not preach to you individually vou can still get
individual good out of what he has to say.
Eevery pulpit message has good in it—some Sundavs the good is
more than others but every Sunday there is good there for you.
Songs and sermons build the individual for a week of content.
Each man and woman needs church association, needs church influ
ence, and church activity.
Tomorrow the church bells will ring at the usual hour, the mes'
sage will be given, the people who respond will get the benefit of their
mental and spiritual quickness—Will you be one of those to get a bene
fit?
Any church will welcome you—any church offers you something
worth while.
Baptist Young People
to Meet in Sandersville
The Baptist young people of Georgia
will meet in their annual convention at
Sandersville this week. The first meet
ing will be held Tuesday in the First
Baptist church of the convention city.
Dr. John E. White, the pastor of the
Second Baptist church, Atlanta, will
make the annual address. L. P. Lea
veil. of Mississippi, will teach B. Y.
P. U. Manual. Mr. is the lead
er among the young people of the Bap
tist denomination in his state, and his
coming to Gecfrgia is greatly appreciated
by scores of church workers among the
young Baptists. Frank H. Leavell, sec
retary of the B. Y. P. U.'s of Georgia
will be present, and take a leading part
in the convention. The “Win One Quar
teite” of Atlanta will sing. Rev. A. D.
Woodle, pastor of the Sandersville Bap
tist church, will be the host of the con
vention, and has assured all of ample
accommodation.
Each union may have five delegates. If
you have not sent in the names of your
representatives do so at once. Mrs. S.
M. Hitchcock is chairman of the enter
tainment committee. The Baptist church
es of Augusta will send good representa
tions.
Junior Congregation Be
Organized; 2nd Baptist
A Junior Congregation will be or
ganized at the Second Baptist Church.
As in most Sunday Schools, a large
number of the children do not remain
for the preaching service. The pastor
and a number of laymen feel that the
children should have some opportun
ity to attend preaching without the
necessity of sitting through the ex
tended service. To meet the condition
a Junior Congregation will be organ
ized today.
The children are dismissed from the
Sunday School at 11 a. m. It is pro
posed to begin a service for the chil
dren at once. In this meeting the
little fellows will have the right of
way. They will fill the choir and
lead in the singing. They will take
part in reading, etc. The service will
close within twenty minutes, and the
children will be dismissed for their
homes.
It is thought that this service will
meet with the approval of the parents
and the children, and success seems as
sured. All Sunday School pupils un
der sixteen are urged to remain for the
service today.
Dr. W. Dillard to Close
Series of Sermons Today
Rev. Walter Dillard, pastor of St.
James church, who has been preaching
a series of very Interesting sermons on:
'•The General Rules of the Methodist
Church." will close the series today at

people have manifested an unusual in
terest In the services, and Dr. Dillard Is
much gratified. The congregation* have
been very good, though the weather hit*
been exceedingly bot for this season. The
mexnbera of St James are delighted
with their pastor, and the series of ser
mons has been gladly received. The re
cent meeting of the official hoard is said
to have been the best In the history of
th* church.
At the 11 a m service. Dr. Dillard will
preach on: "The Duty of Attending
t'pon the Ordinances of the Church."
The public will find a cordial welcome

church, took the little folks on a delight
ful outing Tuesday afternoon. The party
left the church at 2:30 p. m., and spent
the afternoon under the pines at the
residence of Mr. John Seigler. The oc
casion was one of much pleasure to the
children and ladies who made up the
company. There were different amuse
ments for the children, such as games
and w’ading. and story-telling. A de
lightful lunch was served, and all had a
good time. Mrs. Cates was dec ared a

long remembered by all.
Adelphian Baraca Class
to Have Splendid Meet
The Adephian Baraca class (Sibley
Presbyterian church) is making special
preparations for a splendid meeting on
Sunday morning at 10 o’clock. The
meeting last Sunday was a marked suc
cess and It is hoped that the service this
time will surpass the former meeting.
One of the special features of the meet
ing today will be several selections by

Change Has Come Upon
London Season Recently
London.—A change has come upon the
London season of recent years. It has.
indeed, almost, ceased ot exist as we
knew it a genration ago.
It is the automobile more than any
thing else which has killed it. The
growth of the automobile habit .has been
accompanied by a revival of the passion
for pastimes which take people into the
open air.
The fashionable flaneur and flaneuse
who are quite features of a Victorian
London season have disappeared. The
West End clubs are now almost en
tirely deserted of members during the
week-ends In the traditional season. Only
on Saturday a well-known picture gal
lery closed for the first time at 1 o’clock
instead of remaining open till the even
ing. The reason is because so many
more of the society people now motor
down on Fridays or Saturdays to their
favorite links in the country.
But if the London season is not the
same thing as it was, it still exercises
a potent attraction to the new-comer.
While North American invasion is per
haps not so conspicuously notable this
year, the South Americans are filling the
gap nobly. Some of the most hospita
ble hostesses of the present season hail
from the continent to the south of the
Panama Canal.
NOT ONLY ETIQUETTE, BUT COM
MON SENSE.
Court etiquette requires even suf
fragettes to keep their faces to the
king w'hen taking their leave. Ordi
nary prudence requires the king to
keep his face toward the suffragettes
every minute they are in the same
room.
