BAPTIST MINISTERS.

The second meeting of the Baptist
ministers under the new administra-
tion was held Monday morning at the
usual time. 1t was noticeable and
commented upon that the Baptists are
carrying out their New Years resolu-
tion TO meet and get down to bust
ness 1t is said that they are prepar-
ing for vigorous campaign Of revi-
walls and that they are going to work
hand in hand with the other denomi-
nations in helping to drive out the
soft drink evil, the hullabaloo and the
many joints with their dens of vice
that are making some parts Of the
city a disgrace to the reputation of
Nashville. One of the ministers de-
clared that the police record of ar
rests among Negroes was appalling.
1t was announced further that some
visiting divines would be in the city
to hold the winter revivals.
The collections, Or at least the
financial reports, from the various
churches showed that the people took
advantage of the beautiful day Sun
day to be out in force.
