The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1913-11-25
Patriotism and Red Fire.

Practically all arrangements are com
| pleted for the big parade of patriotic
societies which will take place in Mount
Holly tomorrow evening, the occasion
being the presentation of the silver cup
won at the recent parade in Camden by
the Mount Holly delegation as a prize
for the largest number of men marching
under the banner of the Jr. o. L. A. NJ.
Indications point to one of the largest
parades ever held in Burlington county,
the committee in charge having the as
Surance of organizations numbering at
least 1000 men, and in all probability
there will be several hundred over that
estimate.
AS preliminary to this event, the
various local societies attended the Meth
odist church on Sunday night at the
invitation of the pastor, Rev. 7. j. j.
Wright. The church was handsomely
decorated with flags, and was crowded to
the doors. Mr.. Wright, who is himself
a member of the Junior Mechanics,
preached powerful and thrilling ser
mon, pointing out many of the dangers
which surround American institutions
and American citizens, and reminding
his hearers that they were pledged
devote themselves to the maintenance
vi bllC lIllCG great SiOutS Vi
American liberty-the Bible, the flag
and the public school. Mr.. Wright held
his listeners Spellbound, and only the
solemnity of the occasion kept the audi
ence from frequently breaking out into
applause.
Rev. Mr.. Wright will receive the trophy
cup on Wednesday night at the conclu
sion of the parade, and deliver the speech
of acceptance on behalf of the Mount
Holly delegation.
The details of the parade were fully
announced in the last issue of THE
NEWS, but many inquiries have been
made about the route by citizens who
desire to illuminate their residences, and
1t is again published. The parade will
move at $50 sharp from the railroad
station, and take the following route:
