Interpretation of Music
Featuring the entire session is what
the leaders call THE Interpretation OF
our own music" The national chorister,
H. B. P. johnson, and the national
musician, Miss Julia Coleman, have
! been here for a month. While the
chorus that they are leading reached
the one thousand mark certain elm
nations were made to bring it down to
eight hundred fifty so that the stage
in the auditorium could accommodate
them. So much had been done to make
this session a success until the Con-
gress chorus proves to be one of the
stellar attractions, and will continue
to draw not only from Shreveport but
from throughout the state.
The Bible Conference, headed up this
year by DR. E. H. Borden, starts off
Thursday morning with the syllabus
prepared by this eminent divine. But
the attention of Shreveport is being di-
rected to the mammoth parade and
mass meeting to be staged at two o.
clock Sunday afternoon.

J. P. Robinson Little Rock, Ark, /
chairman; Rev. c. B. Taylor, Nashville,
