in the following:
For the sake Of encouraging the Sun
day school workers of the city to
make the most possible of the propos-
ed demonstration on August %, | wish
to make brief report of committee
meeting Of workers at the First Bap-
fist church last evening. While all or
ders issued for this parade are not to
our liking, we consider it the moral
duty of every Sunday school worker
to surrender all private preferences
regarding management of the parade,
and give the heartiest support to all
orders of the appointed leader and fall
into line.
All the automobiles and floats that
we can furnish will be at the disposal
of the officers for any position in the
parade, and all the other forces that
we can command will take foot-and-
walker's-line in the middle or at the
.tailend. Though many of our people
are employed and cannot secure day
off, we propose to enter the parade
with as many as possible for the sake
of the general interest of all.
This public demonstration Of bible
school forces, while Of necessity In
complete, should vitality concern every
Christian church and school in our
city, and any failure on the part of the
Christian people to enter heartily into
this movement will be deteriment to
the general religious interests of the
community.
B. F. Patti.
