signed primarily to show to what extent
the present Sunday school movement APP
peals to men. The threatening skies short
ly after o'clock. when the line was about
to be formed, plainly indicated that more
than one enthusiastic delegate was in
for sure-enough deuge. Many gathered
in line. however, hoping that the clouds
would pass over. But the rain came
down. drenching those who could not get
to shelter. 1t was expected by many
that Grand Marshal Cooper would call
the event off. but shortly after 6 o'clock.

move. the skies lifted. and. although the
streets were wet. the assistant marshals
gathered their forces at the various places
of mobilization and waited for the word
