Young People Hold Big Rally at Wesley
Every Protestant Church of the City is Represented at Tri-Union Meeting
Wesley Memorial Methodist Church was crowded to capacity and all of the Protestant churches of the city were represented at the tri-union rally of the students of Georgia Tech, Agnes Scott college and the church societies of Atlanta, Decatur, Hapeville and College Park last night.
The rally has been an annual event heretofore, but at last night's meeting by unanimous vote those participating expressed their intention hereafter to bring it about twice a year.
The principal address of the evening was that of Rev. Dr. J. F. Lyons, pastor of the First Presbyterian church on "Will Christian America Be Ready to Do Her Duty When the War is Ended". Dr. H. A. Porter, pastor of the Second Baptist church, also delivered an instructive and distinctly entertaining address on "Training the Recruits".
Reports were submitted by C B. Hamilton, president of the BYPU; Jack Hayes, president of the Epworth League and John Crenshaw at the head of the Christian Endeavors.
An orchestra of more than forty pieces representing the membership of the three societies concerned provided a program of excellent music.
