The New York World gives the fol-
lowing account of the Eagles parade
and convention last week:
The Eagles paraded down Fifth

most chromatic parade this town has
seen since circuses ceased parading
in the daytime.

The most gorgeous outfit in the
parade, which was remarkable for
combinations in dress. came from
Cincinnati. These Beau Brummels of
Eagleaom wore Tuxedo coats. low-cut
waistcoats. diamond shirt studs,
white trousers, blue fezzes and. of
course, patent leather shoes. One
of the Cincinnati members reported
for the parade in a hanson cab. He
was in his shirt sleeves and could
not remember where he left his coat.
Fifty women on tallyhos rode behind
the Cincinnati marchers.

DISCIPLES or CHRIST
Proves to Be the Most Rapidly
Growing Religious Body.
Convention just Held at DeIroit Com
prised 0,0O0 Delegates REPRE-
sentins a Membership OF
I.3OO,OOO

Nearly 10000 members and 5000
delegates representing themi These
figures give some idea of the impor-
lance of the convention Of the Chris
tan churches.-or the Disciples Of
Christ as they are sometimes called
just concluded at Detroit. Annually
the four missionary societies of this
great brotherhood gather together.
Their churches are entirely indepen-
dent, but many of them are associated
together in contributing to and help
ing on missionary effort at home and
abroad
This year the societies reported the
greatest progress they have ever had.
The Disciples of Christ are the most
rapidly growing of all religious bodies.
During the past year they added over
100000 to the church. with a net in
crease of over $4,000 to their ranks.
They organized 225 new churches. AL
though they are strongest in the coun-
try districts, and especially in the Mis-
sissippi valley, they show a 1888 per
cent gain during the past decade in II
of the largest cities of the United
States, and they raised nearly $1,000
900 this year more than last, their
total from all sources being 7,I35 O65
For missionary work carried on by
three societies they raised 1851 900; for
education and benevolent work $780,
900, and for local church work. Sells
600. In 1909 they numbered one con-
with a membership of less
than 20. Now there are II 900 congre-
gations-in every state of the union
save New Hampshire and Nevada, and
in many countries abroad. Generally
speaking, they hold the evangelical be-
lief common to most churches, but
emphasize the importance of a closer
of New Testament practice
and teaching. They we're the first, as
they have been the most persistent
people in pleading for the union of
Christian forces. They take the Bible
as their rule of faith and practice. and
reject all human creeds and confess
sions that claim to be authoritative.
They have founded Is high-class col
