MEANING OF THE MOVEMENT,

Executive Committee of New ForwardMovement Among Baptiste HoldsYear End Meeting In Nashville—Or-ganized Sunday School Classes ChiefTopic—Energy of Henry Allen Boyd.

Nashville, Tenn.—This historic city

and educational center is to come intothe limelight even more brilliantly thanever before as a religious denominatlonal center, where all races andcreeds may truly call it “Jerusalem,” ifthe plan adopted by the executive com

mittee of the National Metoka and Gu-leda organized class movement, which jheld Its meeting at the National Baptistpublishing house, Tuesday, Dec. 24. |are carried out.

The entire matter, ns agreed upon by Jthe executive committee, is practicableand feasible, and for that reason thecity as a whole will gain much in theculmination of the plans now underway. It is calculated that the proposed new movement will bring a larger Influence upon the Sunday schoolforces and benefit Nashville from theorganized Sunday school class point ofview as no other denominational movement of recent years has done.According to the idea of thecommlttee,

the central organization, or the headquarters of the Metoka and Galedaclasses of the United States, is to bemade at Nhshville. Offices are to beopened and paraphernalia will be madeand kept on hand and periodicals forthe classes sent out; in fact, a beehive of workers will be the ultimateaim of the central organization.

Among the first steps taken were anagreement for co-operation between theexecutive committee and the local workers, the drafting of plans for this central organization, and the opening ofa regular correspondence with everyorganized class throughout the UnitedStates.

The National Baptist Union Reviewhas pledged its support in giving spaceto whatever the central organizationmay prepare for publication, thus act-ing as a lever for this movement. Editor Crenshaw, who was present andspoke at length, declared that the m i iterial and opportunity for fucther#fcg|such plans ns had been outlined by |the committee, was to be found within |reach of Nashville, almost under the Ishadow of the publishing board.

The organized clubs movement wasstarted at the Sunday school congressat Meridian. Miss., two years ago ndis perhaps the first distinctively N* gro

organization of classes in any of liedenominations of the race. The selec-tion of the unique name. “Metoka.”which is Greek, anglicized, meaning“fellowship.” is designated for themen’s classes. The word “Galeda isHebrew, which translated means ‘ theheap of witnesses” and is the name ofthe class for young ladies.

The secretary of the Sunday schoolcongress, Henry A. Boyd, stated thatall schools were eligible to representa-tion by classes and that he expectedclasses to be organized In every one ofthe 20,000 schools which are now mem-bers of the Sunday school congress.

The superintendent of the teachertraining course, l>r. IMus. stated thatin three or four years this organizationwould have a membership of 100.000throughout the United States.

It was stated that after the holidayseason plans would be completed andmade public for the publication of aMetoka and Galeda magazine In theinterest of the organized classes, sup-porting them in every way to bringthe classes up to the standard that hasbeen set for them. This magazine,with the support of 1.000 classes al-ready organized, will have the largest

circulation at birth of any religiousJournal that has been published inNashville.

It Is stated on good authority thatthese classes will rally as a unit to thesupport of this magazine. At presentthe paraphernalia for the classes con-sists of charters, pennants, buttons,pins, badges, constitutions and bylaws,watch fobs, invitation cards andcharts.

At the central organization, whichwill maintain elaborate headquarters,will lie the offices of the superintend-ent of tlie teacher training course, theSunday school colporteurs, missionariesand, in fact, the entire national execu-tive committee, with national officers,will lie logically headquartered here,giving to Nashville another mammothdepartment connected with the na-tional Baptist publishing board thatwill equal If not surpass the magnifi-cent strides already made in leadingother cities of the United States fordenominational endeavor.
