Rev. Addison Parker, retired Baptist
minister, at the meeting of the Min
isterial association this morning.

aged minister led to considerable dis

part Of the ministers were for ample
preparedness and that several were
not for any kind of preparedness.
Recounts Experience.
The Rev. Mr.. Parker discussed the
subject from soldiers standpoint. He
was soldier during the Civil War
and recounted many of his experience

that new recruit was about as

like Mexico and asked what chance II
would have il she were involved in a

not predict, however, that any serious

A plea for more patriotism on the
part of the people and the members OF
the army was another feature of the
