ONE COMBINED PARADE
Tie Children of ALI the
Churches Will March
Together.
DECORATION DAY FOR TUE WALK.
Some Controversy About Anni-
yersary---Ought it to Be On
May 30q---Aryangements
for Union Services.

The churches are having quite q contro-
yersey about the May walk of the chill
dren and there seems to be q general spirit
of dissatisfaction about it. The commit
tee who have the arranging of Children's
Day have appointed Decoration Day for
the parade This has made the trouble,
many opposing it on account Of its beiag
holiday, and some consider it a ime un-
lit for little children TO be in the streets
Again it would. by having the celebration
on that day, give an opportunity Of see
ing the parade to many who, if it came on
any but holiday, would not be able TO
see it.
ALL WILL UNITE
1t has been arranged that the
parade will be one of the finest
yet given, and to this object all
the churches both on the Hil and
down town, except the Catholic and some
Episcopal, will unite, and instead OF hav
ing two parades on separate day, have
one large and handsome one. This has
not met with the approval that it WAS ex-
pected it would. and there seems to be a
general feeling OF discomfort over the ar
rangements. The preparations for the
day nave never been so elaborate as for
this year, and those VINO have the event
in charge are doing all that is possible TO
make il q success which it will be
no doubt if the day be clear
one What will be done to
please the dissatisfied one has not been
settled, but there seems to be no disposi-
rion to change either the day or the ar
rangements. There is one thing about
the parade that is good, the children are
all satisfied and probably they are the
most Interested,
After Children's Day the next import
ant arrangement thns has taken place in
the churches is the settling of the sum
1ner services. Although it is SO early in
the season vacations are being arranged
and provision being made for the church
people when the churches close their
doors IN the summer.
