SUNDAY SCHOOLS
SET J.. 6. RECORD
Friendly Rivalry Between At
Ianta Bodies Results in New
Attendance Marks.

Atlanta is Witnessing a Sunday school
battle which has begun TO attract the
attention of the entire country. This
city shelters each Sabbath day two Of
the largest. if not THE largest. Sun
day school classes in the entire coun-
try. This distinction has been brought
about entirely through the efforts of
the members of the Sunday schools of
the Second Baptist and the First Chris
tian churches.
Three weeks ago the Christians came
to the Baptists with the gauge Of bat
tie in the form of def that within
thirteen weeks they could outstrip the
Baptists in the number of new sunday
school members secured and at the end
Of that time have the largest Sunday
school congregation Of any similar
body in the United States-not barring
any denominations. The def was at
once challenged by the Baptists. y
plan of combat was mapped out. \
system OF points was arranged. The
Baptiets. already the stronger as to
Sunday school attendance, were handi

The contestants fixed up a schedule
about as follows: New members

Then the merry war was on. The
first Sunday the Christians showed a
distinct gain over their Baptist rivals.
the second Sunday the Baptists turned
out a more even showing. Last Sun
day the Baptists reported 142 new
members, while the Christians gloated
over t59 new faces.
The Baptists reported 100 persons
present at the Sunday school session.
The Christians proudly pointed to the
attendance record of 9I1.
What next Sunday will bring forth
! is problematical. Both sides are comb
| ing the highways and the byways for
members. Children who have never
seen the inside of any Sunday school
room are being bundled up Sunday
morning and taken to the services. Men
and women. boys and girls, matrons
and fathers are all taking part in the
early morning services-something they
never did before in the course of their
