lies MolntS Register.
The sensational preacher is almost as
bad as the sensa t4onal editor. Both de-
ceive and mislead the people TO some ex-
tent. and both increase the mental suffer-
ing OF those they deceive or alarm until
the actual facts have been ascertaihed.
The duty OF the ministers is clearly de-
fined In the creed OF creeds, yet few there
are who adhere to the instructions OF E.m
VINO SO clearly outlined the whole duty OF
the ministers OF the churches. Some min
listers are INDUCING fierce and false trades
against "the wickedness at Camp Nc
klnley;;" yet there are chapiains en- spir-
itual guard at Camp Mckinley every hour
OF all the days and nights. Those chap
lains are good men, as able. cons cientiolH
and God-servtng ministers as We have In
Iowa: they are nobly performing their
patriotic duty. and they know that the
sensational charges against 1.-THE wicked
ness at Camp Mckinley are false.
When the people come to think the
charges over they will also know that
they are false. Nearly 1000 men are at
Camp Mckinley during all the hours Of
every day and night The comrades Of
all the companies are quarterei together.
each has watchful care over the whole
company. and over the whole regiment and
camp. The men are not permitted to
leave camp without leave, and then only
for stated lengths OF time, and all must
be present for drill and other duties. With
4.o0o men constantly present. and all
watching each other thousand times
more closely than men can be watched at
their homes. 1t is plainly evident that
there Is much less wickedness at Camp
Mckinley than obtains with the same
number OF men az their homes. Wicked
ness does not seek men when they are In
large crowds. and II can be safely said
that there is less wickedness in Camp Nc

showers during the day put a wet
blanket on any extensive celebration.
In the morning there was consider
able powder burned and the small
boy and those who are the small boys
friends, when there is a chance to
make a noise, were strictly In evil
dencc. About noon the children were
gathered in procession and with wav-
ing flags and accompanied by singing
marched down TO the hall, where prep.
arations had been made for an ex'
tensive lunch, which the little ones
enjoyed, and left enough for the Older
ones After the lunch more powder
was burned, then the little mes were
again gathered in the hall where more
patriotic Songs were sung, the Declare
