music, flags floating in the breeze
and banners waving. fully twenty-five
hundred men marched the streets last
evening in what was probably the
greatest religious demonstration ever
Witnessed In Wheeling. The occasion
was the Adult Bible Glass parade
held in connection with the thirtieth
annual convention OF The West Nir-
ginia Sunday School Association now
in session in this city. and aside from
being an unusual and extraordinary
event, IL was n of the most inspir-
ing.
Probably the most inspiring as vel!
as unusual feature Of the procession
was the singing. for as the column
swept onto Market street from
Twelfth street. the band broke into
that beautiful hymn. "Oh. How You'll
Love Him When You Know Him"
the favorite hymn during the Billy"
Sunday meetings here. and the
marchers took up the strain and sang
II with a will. The enthusiasm was
impaired 10 the spectators on the
sidewalks. and they. too. took up the
refrain and joined in the singing with
the marchers. As the parade pro
ceeded others caught the Infection.
and from the Mcclure house down TO
the Tabernacle the singing continued
in a greater or less degree. making
the greatest open-air religious demon
stration ever Witnessed in the city.
The parade formed with the first d.
vision on Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, the second on Sixteenth. the
third on Fifteenth and the fourth on
Fourteenth street. The column moved
north on Chapline az 7.4O o'clock. and
as the head OF the parade passed the
above streets the various divisions fell
into line. The procession proceeded
