E What promises to be the biggest
street demonstration of the Slough
evangelstic campaign in this city will
take place tonight, weather permit
ting. Leaving the tabernacle at 10
o clock, parade expected TO comprise
nine or ten thousand marchers, with
three bands, will pass through the
principal streets OF the business see
tion, and hating in Market square will
participate in brief service of preach
ing and song. DR.. Slough will prob
ably speak, making his first appearance
at an outdoor meeting.
Tonight will be nomiually Church
and Sunday school night at the taber-
nace The original intention was to
have members of local churches and
Sunday schools form a great parade
and march in body to the building,
but that plan was not deemed feasible
because the tabernacle would not be
able TO accommodate so large throng.
Three Divisions With Bands
There will accordingly be parade
after instead of before the tabernacle
service, in which the entire audience
can join, together with any persons un-
able to gain entrance to the building.
There will be three divisions. the first
composed of the Slough party, the
executive committee and the choir. and
the other two of the tabernacle audi
ence, in halves. There will be band
for each section.
James w. Barker, chairman of the
sunday school and children : work
committee, will be chief marshal and
the tabernacle ushers will act as aids.

to State street, to Fourth, to Walnut.
to Third, to Market, to Fifth and coun-
termarch on Market to the square. The
parade Will move about 10 O clock and
the service at the square will not con
tlnue beyond II, according to present
plans. DR.. Slough will give short talk
ami there will be chorus singing. Rain
or snow would of course prevent the
demonstration from taking place.
Donations to Be Distribut
The articles of food and clothing ta-
ken by thousands of persons to the
tabernacle last night as donations to
the poor of the city were this morning
taken in charge by the Associated
Charities. There is enough of cloth
ing, canned goods. potatoes. -four and
foodstuffs on hand, according to a state
nent from the Associated Charities of
fec, to hold out for more than week.
MI requests received in Dr.. Slough 5
mail for aid have been turned over to
the Associated Charities. and at that
office large numbers of solicitations are
now pouring in. No food or clothing will
he given odt until the case of each
applicant is investigated. In other
words, the donations viii not be dis
trioHted tc persons merely for the ask
ing. but viii ne placed only in homes
OF the worthy poor.
Boy Has Faith in DR.. Slough
In telling of the variety of letters
he receives in his mail. DR.. Slough last
night said that he has gotten request
from boy in nearby town for an
oration Suitable for the Christmas sea-
son. The boy said that he was on
the program for exercises at school,
and thought that perhaps DR.. Slough
would obligc him b." writing an orig
ina oration for him.
During his sermon the evangelist en-
ployed burlesque to large extent. He
enacted the building of Noah s ark. ard
told of the social ambitions of Lot 5
wife. There were 50 trail-hitters.
DR.. Slough will preach to women only
tomorrow afternoon on "The White
Slave Traffic. - the last of the series.
Tomorrow night there will be pa
rade by the booster chorus, the last
street demonstration of the campaign,
and the climax of this weeks activities
Sunday services will be held as usual.
DR.. Slough preaching morning and
evening at the tabernacle and to men
only in the afternoon.
Party Anxious to Leave
Although nothing definite has been
said as to whether there will be final
meeting on Monday, it is unlikely that
there will be one. since DR.. Slough is
required TO appear on that day at
Wiikes-Barre as defendant in four
SANDER cases. Members of the party
are desirous, too, of returning TO their
homes as soon as possible, before the
vaccinations to which they were recent
lv submitted give them trouble
