Though the change in the constitu'
tton makes Ii imperative from hence
forth to elect the national chaplain
from the city in which the conven.
ton meets gave the association ar
opportunity TO re-elect for the fif-
teenth time its beloved chaplain, DIR
Wilson, which was n source of nc
little satisfaction. The plan TO have
q chaplain emeritus and thus continue
this popular minister in arnes will
probably be proposed al the 1914
