dren and their teachers marched well

There were also some children from
South Memphis Sabbath-schOOls in the
procession, in this division, but the

were their leaders. The children, how
ever, were full of zeal and enthusiasm
in the cause and marched and sang with
great fervoT.

gregation. The delegation was princi-
pally made up of advanced pupils.
COLD WATER.
The Sabbath-scheol of Cold Water did
very well. There was one noticeable
feature about this fine delegation of sew
enty-tive to the great celebration. They
all looked refreshingly cool and pretty
like Christians who possessed their souls
in peace, who r at ease with them
selves and at peace with all the world
beside. They had a nice little banner
with the solid motto "In God we Trust."

FERNANDO STREET Va. L. \. 3. !
Although this magnificent school fol-
owed Immediately after the Central 1,
Baptist in the line of march, we have !
teemed 1t more artistic to place it last {
IN the first divisional fitting rear
yuard to so fine a corps of little Chris :
ian soldiers. There is another reason /
'esides that of importance in numbers /
Why 1t should be placed as the rear
yuard; IL was more like the vanguard in
he matter of rigid discipline, and in {
he outward appointments. 1t carried :
little forest of flags, and marched J
With a solemn, earnest tread, and sang {
With a vim which indicated Christian I
trength and unity. The numbers and
made this, of course, more per- I
to the casual observer. {
The pastor, Rev. GUilfOrd Jones, was !
t the head of his little flock. The large :
'anner of the school was borne aloft in :
rOnt. 1t is of white silk with an open {
Bible as a device, and the name of the
chool inscribed around it on the other
ide. The back is of cherry-eolor silk, C
7ith the motto: eve are working for s
esus." There were carried by the
chool also a number of c-lass-banners, +
II new and bright, and got up with a I
reat deal Of taste, and suitably in Q
as follows: o
