Port Byron, H., Aug. 30.-Editor
Argus: Now that the county Sunday
sunday school rally has become an es-
tablisaed institution, it is worth Will :
to look at it critically; and, perhaps,
discover some things that should be
avoided. and suggest some that may be
done
First of all. let us beware of making
it too spectacular. The parade. which
is the GENITAL feature OF rally, natur-
ally appeals 10 the eye. and in this
way makes its strongest impression.
But there is danger OF OVERRIDING the
thing. While il is new and the enthd-
siam at white heat, the rivalry be-
tween the participants will promo,

reaction sets in. the parade is a failure,
and must be abandoned Such is the
usual history 1t will be impossible 20
maintain the rally as permanent in
stitution by relying OH the spectacular
features of the parade.
There is another danger along the
same line. The Sunday school Should
