Ten Thousand Attend Worlds
S. S. Convention.

ular Features.

| ulhr roaLur6S.
Unprecedented for it's cosmopoli-
tanism, unequaled in the magnitude
OF its constituency, and unsurpassed
as a spectacle, the Worlds Sixth
Sunday School Convention in Wash
ington, d. c., May 1924, marks
an event in religious history.
President Taft was not alone in
expressing amazement over the
size and character of the Convention.
He looked out over sea of six
thousand faces on the opening
night, while outside the Convention
Hall a still large number of persons
congregated, unable to enter. Near
ly twenty-five hundred of the official
delegates wore red ribbon badges
with the legend "North America. :"
Some five hundred others wore blue
badges bearing the names of more
than fifty different nations, as re-
mote as China and South America,
Turkey and Australia. In addition
to these three thousand official and
representative delegates from every
State and province in the United
States and Canada and from foreign
lands, there were about seven
thousand unofficial delegates or
visitors. Sometimes three and four
simultaneous Convention sessions
were inadequate to hold the throngs.
1t was spectacular Convention.
The great Mems Bible Glass Parade
on the afternoon of May 20 opened
the eyes of Washington to the
virility and masculinity of modern
religion. In order that some mem-
bers of Congress might march in
the parade, as they did, and that
oohoiH hiiSho NltllcSS IL, congress
adjourned early on the day of the
demonstration. TorrentiaI rains
Immediately preceded and followed
the parade, largely reducing the
ranks; nevertheless five thousand
men i'll hammered procession a
mile long marched down Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, and were reviewed
at the Capitol by a throng of ten
thousand persons.
All these marching men belong
to the Sunday School, and the
thought nppermost in the minds of
many of the spectators who lined
-he sidewalks was expressed on one
banner, "Where the men lead the
Boys will follow A huge mass
for men, with ringing
speeches by Rev. DIR. Homer c.
Stuntz and Rev. DIR. S. Parkes
Cadman, followed the parade. At
he same time two big meetings of
jhe women delegates were in session.
Another spectacular feature of
he Convention was a great open
lir gathering on the east steps of
he Capitol, when a multitude of
people joined in the singing of
hymns.

CHOICE GROCERIES.

Groceries, to be choice must be
fresh. In order to sell fresh gro
ceries we must keep them contin-
ually moving, buying and selling.
That's just what we are doing.
Therefore our groceries are fresh
and choice in the true sense of the
word. If you are not getting the
best in the grocery line tell us and
we will tell you the reason and how
to overcome it.
