Saturday Morning, July IL.
North America for Christ" will be
the central thought for Saturday, the
exercises being held outdoors during
the day. AT 8 a. m, there will be a
patriotic open-air praise service, held
at the Washington Monument. At $50
march is planned through Pennsyl-
vania Avenue to the Capitol, where
brief addresses will be made. This is
the first time anything of the kind has
ever been planned, and we believe the
Endeavorers will be glad 20 march up
the principal avenue of orr nations
capital, to the step OF Onward
Christian Soldiers"
Saturday Afternoon. July IL.
The annual Junior rally will be held
at 230 in Tent Washington. The pro-
gramme is far from complete, but the
main feature, an exercise by the boys
and CRISIS all prepared, and the Wash
ington Juniors are hard at work now
upon it, The exercise IS entitled "The
Juniors Love of Country" by Mrs.
James L. Hill, Salem, Mass.
At $50 Saturday afternoon, under
the leadership of Mr.. Percy S. Foster,
the combined choirs, numbering about
four thousand voices, will give a grand
patriotic vesper service upon the
white Lot" near the White House.
1t is hoped that the chorus will be as
sisted by the celebrated Marine Band.
At o'clock will be the opening time
for State and Provincial receptions in
the thirty-three churches used as
headquarters" These gatherings are
entirely under the direction of the
nf toll
unions. Reserve Saturday night!
While the Endeavorers are enjoying
their receptions and rallies, the three
large tents will be used for meetings
for citizens, and citizens only.
In Tent Washington unique, and
we pray blessed, service has been
planned. 1t will be for men only. A
| choir of male voices will lead the sing
ing, conducted by Peter F. Bilhorn
There will be brief Introductory adj
dress by Evangelist C. N. Hunt, of Min
neapolis, after which Rev. j. Wilbur
Chapman, ID. d., will speak. The
meeting is entirely under DR.. Chap
mans direction. In Tents Williston and
Tent Endeavor the speakers will all
be trustees of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor The general topic
will be, christian Endeavor; Its Aims
and Possibilities" We hope these citi-
zens meetings will be largely attended.
They are an innovation, but ones that
We believe have come to stay. The fol-
lowing trustees will speak in Tents
Endeavor and Williston
