Chaplain Fisher, one of the pioneer
preachers of Kansas, who is in the city
attending the NJ. E. conference was pres
ent and made an address in chapel Fri
day morning. He held the closest atten-
ton of the school for a considerable time,
relating his adventures and narrow es-
cape from death in the famous Quantrell
raid at Lawrence, Kansas. in the early
days of the civil war. Chaplain Fisher
was actively engaged in work for the
government at that time, hence he could
give great many interesting historical
facts in his remarks. After hearing Chap
lain Fishers story OF the Quantrell raid
and the early days in Kansas, no one
could complain that such history is dry
and embarrassing. In fact he has written
a book from his experiences which every
Kansan will enjoy and prize as local his
tory. The title of the book is "The Gun
and the Gospel" a copy of which the
school was fortunate enough to obtain
from him while here.
