Between 1,001) and 19,000 men. women
and children the women outnumbering
the stronger sex three to One marched
behind a brass band for the better part
of two hours preceding' midnight and
-pang praises to their Ood for the prlvl
' lege. , They bore down on the city's bud
lands, ; stilj shouting their tremendous
aninems, extolling in niiui; aonu mm
glories of ths Chrlatan life , for the
falling and the, fallen, J And when the
' march was over two . great meetings
t were held uptown, in these the fruits
,, of the labor were gathered motley
. scores of half-sunken men in whom
there was ' still hope of x igniting the
white fires of religion.
' It wss the unique night of Portland's
- history a shaking up such, as ths town
aad never known before. .,
' The-time set for beginning this un
precedented exhibition, wss 10:lt o'clock.
Jl policeman stood on the corner of Bev
, enth. and Morrison streets at It -o'clock
, and 'sympathetically deplored the fact
that be was alone. .He shook. hia head.

' people began to appear. Whence .they
came nobody, could tell. But there was
' a startling predominance of women.
. More came. And mors. , By scores and
;. then by hundreds they gathered until
It . seemed lhat , the whole town; wss
' flocking: to that neighborhood. v
. A gospel singer in a long frock coat
ruahedr in among them and waving his
- hands aloft sang ths first bars of the
"Glory, Bong." It was quickly taken
' up, and ha vanished as mysteriously
as he had come. f But the peopl still
"sang. ; When ths musle ceased here. It
might still be heard tn the disUnos. But
'." It was not sn echo. Far from It . Each
street held a multitude by" this tlmei
and each multitude vented Its feelings
in 'ths- accepted manner. i s ,
When they .tired of "Olory" JHr
turned to "Beulah Lsnd" and 'Jblvive

burst forth with rnsp'rlng volume;
' "Wi Shall Meet on That Beautiful

' from across the block.- At times from
10 to 15 different anthems were sung
at onoe. 'Then th baas draav of the
Salvation Army approachrd and the next

alacrity., Above the ground floor thou
sands of windows were slammsd against

through to .oaten, sight of th Christian
soldiers. Men and .women, the worst
element of society, women who ,- had
shut their doors in the faoea of men
who Invited them to o&no to meetings,
could not withstand the religious invas

tude Hi past and listening to th great
songs. -t . ... . . ..'.'.' - ,,.
If th evangelistic climax last night
did nothing more. It stopped the iniqui
tous commerce of th north, and for (0
minutes. It stopped everything, la faot,
but th street ears. ,'-' .' t
, Now and then, while encircling "the
tenderloin., some one near the front
would wave an umbrella and call a halt
Th band would begin a favorite hymn.
Th voices In front would pas It on to

chorus, nlns blocks long and as wide

Shook somewhat and had something to
remember In th line of spiritual aarth
qaakes. ..'. . V"- .'
All along th rout th procession was
cheered by non-Chtlstlaa and non-participants.
The courage which prompted
the undertaking Was admirable In Itself
but ths fortitude displayed by th
women In coming out aa they did was
nothing less thsn herolo and Impelled
the cheers of - thousands who might
otherwise have scoffed and Jeered.
It will never be known to any mgn
Just how' many peopl were picked up
along the line of march. There war
no distinct features of th formation
of th parade - by which this question
could' be settled. - Three mounted po
liceOfficers Carlson, ' Smart and Mo

other distinctive minutes la ; th pro

There wer two transparencies carried
by T. M. C. A. boys inviting everybody
to follow th procession and attend the
