An Effective Method,

Co to- Church Day is a fine prop
osition. | wish it might be continued
every Sunday in the year. Every le-
Ultimate means possible ought to be
used to persuade the people to lis
ten to the word of God. I regard
this as about as effective a method
as could be devised"
The Rev. Charles T. A. Pise, rector
of st. Philips Cathedral, said that
while he was not acquainted with
the details OF the plan, he was pre-
pared to give it his warmest commen-
dalton as a general proposition.
Many things in our modern life
serve to take away our interest from
the church and church services" the
rector remarked. Anything which
will oounteract these influences GER
tainly must be for the best. We have
a number of special days already in
our church, but l am sure our clergy
will be glad to join with the ministry
of the city in making it a record day
for Atlanta.
Il wish every success for the move
ment. | am confident thai it will re-
suit in good for every church in the
city"
DR.. W. f. Hill, pastor of the West
End Presbyterian Church, promises
the cooperation of himself and his
congregation to make Go Church
Day the biggest day in the history Of
Atlanta churches.
Ever church and every pastor
will welcome the cooperation of the
newspaper in this church work. | am
glad that such a movement as Go
to-Church Day has originated in At
lanta. Great good will be derived
therefrom."
Rev. MIR. suford Enthusiastic.
The Rev. G. r. Buford, assistant
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
Church, was highly in favor of the
Co to Church Day" He said:
Being a church worker / natural
ly would indorse and support any
movement which was started that
might end in bringing more people
into the house of God. The Go to-
Church Day Is, as far as | know, 4
new kind of movement and one which
stands alone. Without a doubt, it
equals. if not surpasses, any religious
movement toward getting the people
OF this city together ever started in
Atlanta.
81 can promise those interested my
hearty support and the support of my
friends and people, and will do any
thing that can to be of assistance

altered In the course of time. 1t was
a threc-story. frame building OF large
proportions, and was regarded as one
Of the show places around Richmond
The grounds and gardens had more
than local reputation.
On account of the fact that there

floors, no one knows in Just what
room.
Formed bucket brigade.
Mrs. Jeffrcss is travelling in Europe
and Mr.. Jeffress has been living at

and taking his meals at neighbor-
ing house. The servants were released
for the summer, and the house was
entirely vacant while Mr. Jerrcss and
his son were in Richmond every day
The IRE was discovered about 10
o'clock by colored maid. who came
in to do the morning house cleaning.
She saw smoke pouring from the up
stairs windows. and quickly spread
the alarm to the farm hands. Mr.
Jefress, who was 1T his Office In the
Mutual Building, was Immediately no
tihed by telephone. and started for
tho scene in his automobile. While
going through South Richmond, he
stopped ut Engine House No. 13 and
obtained two fremen to accompany
him 10 "MeaGowbrook" with chemical
apparatus.
In the meanwhile all the hands from
the neighboring farms had hocked to
the burning house and formed n
