CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 20. Reports by the ministers of the Protestant churches of this city and suburbs show a steadily increasing membership and- mounting attendance records. The local Klan is in receipt of many letters from ministers of various denominations in this city, expressing their high appreciation of the co-operation and backing being so generously given to the churches-by Klansmen. Klan Leads Movement
The Klan-has led in a movement among local Klans to get every Protestant man in the city to attend
a rrotescant cnurcn service" every Sunday, and to actively affiliate with some men's Bible class. ,A searching question is directed to Klansmen
along this line at every week's Klon
klave, and every Klansman reports
on his church attendance. The re
suits within recent weeks have been
remarkable and many hundreds have
become active church workers. An Aroused Interest
Tils aroused interest and activity among Klansmen in behalf of the Christian Protestant churches ot the
city and suburbs has already begun
to be felt among men not Klansmen
and many are the testimonials reaching the Klan of the immeasurable
good being accomplished.
