FROM ARMY TO PULPIT.
Lieut.. Satterlee VIII Resign to Enter
the Ministry.
From tho Atlanta Constitution

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Lieut. c. B. Satterlee, stationed in At
lanta until year ago, will enter the Epis-
copal ministry. He will resign the flag of
the country for the banner of the cross.
This decision of Lieut.. Satterlee has just
been made. He has been devoted church.
man for several years and while he lived
in Atlanta he was quite prominent In the
affairs Of ST. Luke. He was lay reader,
and a very enthusiastic member of st. An
drew's Brotherhood. He took very deep
interest in church work and everything
that tended to the upbuildfng of Christian
work had his hearty support.
Lieut.. Satterlee welded little over a
year ago the daughter Of Bishop Capers of
South Carolina, and this union perhaps has
something to do with his determination to
enter the ministry.
Lieut.. Satterlee was stationed here as in
spector general of the Georgia militia and
assistant adjutant general He was sue
ceeded in June Of last year by Lieut.. Oscar
Brown. He left Atlanta reluctantly, for he
was deeply devoted to the city and the
people here. He had made scores of friends
among the military men. He did much to
improve the military service in Georgia.
He was rigid disciplinarian. and for this
reason was subjected to some consider
able criticism at first. but the virtue of
his methods was not slow In making it
self apparent, and he was praised where
the more prominent military men of the
state can attest his efficiency and ability
as soldier.
The following from the Savannah News
tells the story Of hts new. move:

general, stimulated him more earnestly to
become a soldier Of Christ rather than OF
