1t was an interesting assemblage to study
from any point Of view. 1t showed many
things; that -ncthers and sisters and daugh-
ters were enthusiastic and earnest in
their religious their husbands. brothers
and sons were in their political faith. The
singing with which the exercises were pre-
ceded showed II is. There was no choir on
the platform and no leader visible when
the fair crowd began to gather, bat all
through the throng there were young wo-
men whose voices would start q hymn
which would be taken up by those imme-
distely around them. So at times there
were three or four different hymns, such
as Throw Out the Life Line, Scatter
Sunshine and others, being sung simulta-
neously in different parts OF the audience.

The Annual Junior Rally Presents n
Splendid Spectacle.

The Annual Junior Rally Presents n
Splendid Spectacle.
Tent Williston this morning presented the
prettiest picture of the whole convention.
The vast inclosure was one sea of youthful
faces, for it was the scene of the annual
Junior rally, in some respects the most in
teresting and picturesque feature Of the
great gathering.
Every seat was occupied with youthful
Endeavorers, in the daintiest of summer
garb, and the hundreds of older people who
made a fringe about the edge of the big tent
are not likely soon to forget the scene. Here
and there through the great assemblage
were held aloft the handsome silk banners
of number of Junior societies.
But 1t was upon the platform that the
interest all centered. There was a chorus
OF several hundred little children, who had
been carefully trained In the hymns to be
sung during the morning, and their work
compared very favorably with that of the
older choruscs- The front and center of
the stage was left vacant, and it was here
that the bar of Washington juniors went
through with the exercise known as 1.-The
il niors' love of country
This remarkably pretty performance was
originated by Mrs. James L. Hill of Salem,
Mass, who was present in person to con-
duct the children. Upward of a hundred
little ones were grouped about the center
or the stage. They were dressed in the
costumes of a number of different coun-
tres, typifying the various peoples among

The accompaniment was furnished by a
stringed orchestra, also made up of young
people, under the direction of Miss Matte
Bartlett. 1t would be difficult to imagine
a more beautiful and impressive service
The devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev Joseph Brown Morgan of Chester,
England and consisted of earnest pray
er for benediction upon the children, fol-
lowed by the responsive reading of the
23d Psalm.

course, played a prominent part in the

Darby, u. s. flag bearer, and Ethel
Hughes, flag bearer for Great Britain.
Among those who sang or recited were
and Miss Vena Wells.
At the conclusion of the exercise the or
chestra played a medley of national airs
while the children waved their little flags
and blue and pierced with enthusiastic
cheers.
When the cheering had died away Rev.

Union, was introduced and made a brief

would all like to have her come to the
front. AS she did SO, handsome, mother

a splendid bunch of pink roses. Then, after
an address to the children from President
Clark and some more singing and speak
ing, the meeting adjourned.

ers then withdrew and juniors gave brief
recitations on patriotism. At the end of
the second section of the march, which
contained different figures and evolutions
from the preceding one, the girls halted
in column four by twelve upon one side
of the platform and the juniors, represent
ing the different nations, with their various
banners came In upon the other side. In
this position all the boys and girls of the
queens countries having junior societies
(Gngland, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Can

under the English and American flags

brief Rotations expressive of their indi-

of the march contained the most complex
evoutions Of all. and the coilng and un-
eoiling of the two lines Of marchers SEEM
ed like brilliant dissolving view. The
marchers having halted In the form of a
semi-circe st. Christian Endeavor, with
the missionary and te temperance committees,
came into the semi-circular space. AS the
scenes at the close of the two previous
marches gave emphasis to the patriotic
Star Spangled Banner and the second max
ing conspicuous the banners of different
nations-so this section of the exercise
gave special prominence to the religious
element. and with Christian Endeavor
flags held aloft all sang The Banner of the
Cross. Missionary and temperance recita-
tions and songs followed, and then came
the fourth and final march. In this the
marchers came up In twos. in fours. in
eights and in sixteens and halted in solid
phalanx sixteen abreast. All the juniors of
all nations and committees who had taken
part in the exercises quickly grouped them
selves around the marchers, and, together
with the whole junior chorus, who had
risen III their places, chanted with great
impressiveness Trusting in the Lord Jesus
Christ for strength, 1 promise Him that
will strive to do whatever He would like to
