the project and that every minister
should see that his own church was

said. Il am anxious to see how great
the benefits will be. | am confident
that the results can not be other than
beneficial. The Georgian may count
on the glad o-operation Of every
Presbyterian church in the eity."
The Rev. S. r. Belk, pastor of the
Park Street Methodist Church, Just
back from the conference in Elber-
ton, gave the plan his enthusiastic
commentator.
TT appears feasible and very COM
mendable," he said. Il think 1t is the
thing to do. 1t should be a striking
example of power of the churches in
AT 'anta."
That Atlanta is far from being the
church going city 1t is reputed to be
was the declaration Tuesday Of the
Rev. A. A. Little, of the Westminster
Presbyterian Church, who coupled 1t
with the opinion that the plan of The
Georgian for a Cote Church Day"
In Atlanta is a most admirable means
of awakening the people of the city
and getting them in the habit of at

THE attendance at some of the

the figures would be startling. At

while he was not acquainted with
