Plans for the Sunday
School Parade on
June &.
THREE COHORTS, PERHAPS.
Ice Cream, Cake, Lemonade, Singing
and Speeeh-Making Will Be
Among the Attractions Of the
Festival.

If old Sol is generous. and sheds his
bright light on Jersey City on June s,
thousands of children connected with
Sunday schools will be made happy.
1t will be the Sunday school children's
day.
The annual anniversary and parade of
the United Sunday schools take place on
that day, and little tots and their teachers
will unite all over the city in celebrating
the event. They will have good time,
for ice cream and candies will be supplied
bountifully.
The exercises, if the weather is clear,
will be about as usual The children will
meet at their respective Sunday schools,
and at the place designated form into line
for the parade. The banners of the differ
ent schools will be carried after the lead
of a good brass band, and flowers and
decorations will be plentiful. 1t is par
ticularly desired that the people living on
the line of march will decorate the build
ings with flags, bunting or flowers, to
make the city look pleasant to the chill
dren and to encourage them in their good
work.
THEY WILL NOT UNITE.
The Sunday schools north of Railroad
avenue will not unite with those south of
it because of the danger in crossing the
tracks, and the Sunday schools on the
s'Hill'' have not determined whether they
will Join the parade or take another day,
as has been their custom, for this celebra-
ton. They have been invited, but in all
probability will not accept, but will have
a celebration of their own as heretofore.
One of the leading members of Wayne
Street Methodist Church said to me last
night about the trouble experienced in
having united PARADE
"Wait until the Pennsylvania tracks are
elevated and then there will be no
trouble"
The members of the different Sunday
schools will meet at the respective
churches they attend at time In the
then they will indulge in exercises such
as recitations, singing, music and
speeches by popular clergymen-

lected.
MARCHING ORDERS
The children will meet at their Sunday
schools and will form in line on the streets
surrounding Van Worst Park so as Tar Is
possible, and they will march through the
principal streets of this city south of the
railroad The Tabernacle school will be
with them. 1t was feared for a time that
this would not be the case. The children
will, after marching through the several
streets, file into Van Worst Park and be
dismissed. They will go Immediately to
their Sunday schools and partake of as
much ice cream and cake as the ordinary
Sunday school scholar can dispose of.
This will conclude the day of pleasure,
and Prof. Virgins had better find good
weather for that day if he don't want the
ice cream to be spoiled.
