PLAN CELEBRATION.

A discussion of whether the
Protestants of San Antonio will hold
a celebration this year will probably
be aroused at the regular meeting of
the San Antonio Ministerial Alliance
at IL o'clock Monday morning at the
Travis Park Methodist Church, ac-
cording to DIR. Z. =. Hill. pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church. DR..
Hill was one of the leading spirits in
the diamond jubilee celebration held
in San Antonio last February.
Even though the pastors of the city
decide to hold celebration, DR.. Hill
said. IL is probable that it will not be
as pretentious as the one staged last
year when $4,000 people took part in
a parade through the downtown
streets. 1t is thought, by those inter-
ested. that the churches will hold a
mass meeting at which some promin-
ent out-of-town personages will
sneak.
DIR. Hill has suggested to the men,
bers of the alliance. that an office be
secured as headquarters for the min
isterial alliance. The work of the al.
lance could be made more efficient
DIR. Hill said, if such quarters were
secured.
