Churches.
Atlanta has 141 churches and the attendance on religious services is one of the noticeable features of the city’s life. This city is headquarters for several important denominational organizations, especially those of missionary work. It is the home of the Bishop of Georgia, Right Reverend C. K. Nelson (Episcopal), and of Bishop W. A. Candler of the Methodist Church.
The Baptist Home Mission Board is located here, and there is a similar organization of the Presbyterian Church represented. The Catholic Marist College and a convent are located near the two leading churches of that faith.
The colored people have two Bishops in Atlanta, Bishop W. J. Gaines and Bishop H. M. Turner.
