The Chicago Times is authority for
the statement that two Of Chicago's
swell churches, one Of the Episcopalian
persuasion and the other of the Baptist,
have organized the young men of their
congregations into military companies.
The guns and bayonets are owned by
the churches and the companies are sup

it to it's duty by military guard, this
spirit of ecclesiastical militarism would

foolish love for display or an even more
foolish terror inspired by the vaporings
