LIBERAL VIEWS
MAY Be REMEDY
ATLANTA DISTURBED BY LACK
CT CHURCH ATTENDANCE
AND SUNDAY SPORTS.

Atlanta, Aug. 2j.-By a majority of
several thousand, more people sought
outdoor recreation and various
anusements than went to church in
Atlanta yesterday.
The same condition is more or less
true every Sunday. and the proper
ticn. especially among young people,
who prefer an auto ride, a stroll in
the woods, a free concert. an outing
in the park or a day of golf at thb
country club, instead of attending re-
ligious service is said to be steadily
growing.
Some observers consider that these
facts indicate that Atlanta is becom-
ing more Goddess, while others urge
the advantage of healthy out door
recreation on the seventh day for the
masses who have to spend six days
~ office, store or factory.
/ 1t hat been suggested that If tia
churches would take a more liberal
view of innocent Sunday recreations,
| that more young people would ar
range their Sundays so as to include
at least one attendance on church
service. AS it is. many folks feel
that II they play golf or go on motor
ing picnics on Sunday the church
frowns upon them and does not want
them. On this question of the proper
attitude Of the churches too, there is
considerable division of sentiment.
The one thing all are agreed on Is
the fact that the coming generation
is looking more and more on Sunday
as a day of recreation rather than a
day of prayer and worship.
