The EIkton Everybody Co To- Church
Sunday
To our Fellow-C Citizens of Elkton and
Vicinity:

To our Fellow-Citizens of Elkton and
Vicinity:
The day designated for everybody in
Elkton to go to church is Sunday, Feb
ruarv first; first of the month, first of
the week. The movement is nation
| wide. The same day is to be observed
IN the same way by Chicago, the great
city of the West, and by Baltimore
the proud metropolis of the South and
by other cities.
The aim is to have all our fellow
citizens accept the invitation, and
come to one or the other of the regular
assemblies for public worship in the
churches of our town on that day-the
church of each ones own choice.
The day is to be unanimous recog
milton of Him from Whom all bless
ings flow; day of large and hearty
congregations, an impressive witness
to the brotherhood of all men in
Christ, proclamation that our ma
| tional blessings have their source in
the divine goodness, that our peace,
order, prosperity, our national chari-
| ties and reforms seek for the highest
models and inspirations; day of social
| Joys and fellowship for all, for not one
is to be left out; day of meditation
and thanksgiving when we return to
our abiding rest.
1t is hoped that this occasion may
prove to be the beginning of renewed
habits of church attendance and of a
more joyous religious life for many;
and in view of all this we, your COM
mittee, earnestly request everyone to
work to make this Everybody-g -go-to-
Church Sunday grand success.
Il was glad when they said unto Me
let us go into the house of the Lord" F"
