Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-26

FRESH assurances OF the active CO.
.peration of the ministry of Atlanta
f.. the Go-to-Curch Day, set tenta-
.vely for December IA. We're given
lHs Georgian Wednesday
Practically every minister in the
H., and suburbs now has pledged his
srsonal assistance in bringing out
ne largest church attendance that
Atlanta ever has had in her entire
STORY. All Of the ministers are en-
msiastic over the project, and are
entering heart and soul into the
eor,
I.NpressIons from many of them
ae to the effect that it is exactly
movement for which the churches
.. Atlanta have been waiting without
lowing Just what was needed tc
simulate the attendance.
Fine plan. in brief proposes that
avery church III the city and envi-
..u- seek to bring out its entire
.enbership on the date set SO that
.E4nta may set 4 record for attend
...a hat will surpasS any other city
.. the country OF the size, and so that
interest i'm church work may be slim
lated beyond any point il hitherto
mas reached.
Each Church to Get Out Members
There is to be no PROSECUTING and
400 petty rivalry. Each church is to
invite It's own and not to work to get
Up0jance from other churches The
.Yugnt is not to establish the in
.udual supremacy of any church in
aspect to- membership or attend
mre. but to make striking showing
ut lhy strength OC the church and OF
.e'Igiou i'm the city at large.
What The movement will accom-
-usb i'm the way of lasting results
was Illustrated forcibly by the Rev
w. r. Hendrix. pastor Of the Wesley
Memorial Church, one of the fore
most institutional churches OF the
Louisville made a campaign while
VA pastor there very similar
.u IN, one proposed by The Geor-
GIau said the Rev. Mr. Hendrix. 1T
MAS a fUur-Wceks' endeavOT among
.Ie pastors aud congregations The
HnaN came on the fourth week
when the churches had the largest
combined attendance in the history
" the city.
That campaign was the most ef-
'-utiye and permanent thing accom-
lIelcd during the time ! was there,
Was a notable fact that in The
cay after the Go-to- Church Crusad 2
interest in church work was at its
Isaesl point, and the church at
tendance throughout the city was
IaarIN doubled throughout the
Twelve months.
This settled in my mind the ques-
.pu of the peimanency of the re-
suits I heartily concur in the plan
ur The Georgian. and VIII say for
aur folks that we all will ioin in

Elethodists as we are lust beginning
