Over the historic marching ground of
Fifth Avenue there will pass TODAY a
procession that will occupy place of
it's own among the hundreds of parades
that have crossed the ridge of Murray
PHill and gone up the straight line to
Fifty-ninth Street.
1t will be as representative and as
cosm opolitan as few parades have been.
In it there will be marchers from every
state in the union and from all parts
of the world. In the ranks will be tow
heads and grayheads. The host will
be that of the Christian Citizenship
demonstration of the sixth worlds
CHRISTIAN Endeavor convention.
In addition to the 10000 delegates
sitting in the convention now being
held in the list Regiment Armory,
there will be about 1000 Christian
Endeavorers from Greater New York
ard the suburbs and delegations from
other church organizations to swell
the ranks to more than 10000.
Singing Choruses in Line
One of the features of this parade
that will make it different from most
others will be companies of marching
singers. They will be nterspersed
among the divisions and will sing
martial hymns in the intervals when
the bands are silent.
All Of the state delegations which
have come to the convention in cos
tunes will wear them in the demonstra-
ton. To give more picturesqueness
and at the same time to furnish object
lessons in Christian endeavor, there
will be a score of more of floats. Eleven
of these will show allegorical groups
| from Pilgrims Progress, portrayed by
eighty-two of the convention delegates.
| The parade will form in the thorough
fares west of Fifth Avenue from
Eighteenth to Twenty-third Street,
and will start at noon. The formation
will be in double rank, in column Of
companies, with twenty file front. The
New York State division will form at
the east end and Greater New York at
the west end of Twentieth Street be-
tween Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The
Brooklyn companies will assemble in
Twenty-6rst Street and three Manhat-
tan companies with q float in Twenty
second Street.
Captain William R. Fearn, grand
marshal, and Frederick A. Wallis,
chairman of the convention committee,
will lead the marchers. At Sixtieth
Street the parade will turn into Cen
trail Park and go to the Sheep Meadow,
where it will be reviewed by William
Jennings Bryan and Dr. Francis E.
Clark, the society's president. There
will be speeches by Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Wallis
picnic and games for the inter-
mediates will be held in the park after
the parade, and a trip to Coney Island
has been arranged for the older dele
gates.
MONDAY Meeting in Wall Street
At noon yesterday DR.. Clark, DR.. ohm
Pollock, of Belfast, Homer Rodeheaver,
the evangelist, and the Salvation Army
band held an outdoor meeting at the
Sub-Treasury, Broad and Wall Streets.
| Rodeheaver sang some old favorite
hymns and DIR. Pollock and DR.. John
Mcneil, of Port Washington, addressed
the throng.
Song services held at the Marble Col
legiate Church, the Brick Presbyterian
Church and in the chapel of the Marble
Collegiate opened the third day of the
convention. At the general sessions at
the armory Mr.. Rodeheaver spoke on
GLOW to Lead Singing" and an ad-
dress was delivered by DR.. George W.
Richards. of the Reformed Theological
Seminary. DR.. Richards said that there
| WOulQ Ue ueNelOUeu SCaCe IN winch
there would be no mllionaires-a CO.
operative democracy instead of COM
pettive democracy.
Dr. Ira Landrith, of Chicago, ex-
tension secretary of the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, was
cheered when he declared from the
platform that those who opposed pro-
hibition were nothing more than Boil
shevists.
"They are anarchists and traitors
he continued, "for the prohibition
amendment is part of our Constitu-
tion."
Frederick A. Wallis, Commissioner
of immigration, described to the dele
gates the conditions at Ellis Island.
He had found there, he said, condi-
anarchy. The quarters were over
crowded, and the discomfort of the
immigrants held there was great. He
had found 600 persons in one room,
who had been standing all day, because
the space had been made to accommo-
date only sixty.
Favors Elimination at Source
Mr.. Wallis spoke strongly in favor OF
an inspection and weeding-out process
at the port of embarkation. What was
the use, he asked, Of permitting thou
sands of immigrants to come to this
country who were not of sort that
could land? He added:
81 find that the great problem is not
immigration, but the immigrant. We
can deal with immigration through
legislation or diplomacy or reciprocity
or through all three, but we cannot
deal with the immigrant through any
of these. The immigrant is human
being and the day is past when he car
be treated like cattle"
A dinner was held by the Christian
Endeavor Alumni last night at the
Hotel Majestic, at which 1900 persons
were present. DR.. Clark presided and
DR.. Howard B. Gross, vice-president,
was postmaster.
Among the speakers were Winslow
Russell, ice-presdent of the Phoenix
Mutual Life Insurance Company; W. N
Ellis, president of the Alumni Fellow
ship of New York City, and DR.. ]. Pol
lock, president of the European Chris
tian Endeavor Union.
