is that of furnishing to the press on
Monday, by member appointed for
the purpose, a full report of Sun
days proceedings in the church. Mrs
Van Sickler has for several months
reported the Sunday services through
the Lakeland Evening Telegram, and
| it is believed that her reports, which
have been well done, have not only
given members an increased interest
YIN the work of the church, but have
enlisted outsiders in it's activities.
and have served to greatly stimulate
and improve the church in all is
departments of endeavor.
"Prof. and Mrs. Gresham of Missis-
sippi have just moved to Lakeland,
the former having accepted a posi-
ton as teacher in the high school.
They have already become identified
with the work of the church and will
no doubt prove valuable additions.
"This church regularly maintains
mission in East Lakeland, at which
prayer meeting and Sunday school
are conducted, the mission being un-
der the direct personal charge of
Brother J. w Martin. A meeting

of the Plant City officers to search the
house, the wife of one of the men

fine WORK IN
ALL DEPARTMENTS
Being DONE BY
THE BAPTIST Church

In the current issue of the Florida
Baptist Witness appears a splendid
write-up of the First Baptist church
of this city and the fine work being
done, which it gives the Telegram
pleasure to reproduce. The article
was written by Rev. A. B. Comedy,
field agent of the paper, and is as
follows:
Pastor Wallace Wear has Just
returned from a five weeks vacation
in the States of Kentucky and Ala
bama He Visited the church, the
Tabernacle, in Louisville, KY, which
he served just prior to coming to
Lakeland. Two meetings were held
in Kentucky, one at Deatonville, the
other in the western part of the
State just below Paducah, with a
church of the name, SPRING, Bayou.
He was in Kentucky three weeks and
the meetings in which he took part
resulted in thirty or more additions.
From Kentucky, he went to Law
renee county, Alabama, where he
spent ten days with his father

and has served a church. of which

years. The Lakeland pastor greatly

his field imposes
Large audiences greeted Pastor

fall work has made most auspicl-
Gus start The chief matter of in
tcrest now in this church is the
l"Win One Campaign" which will be
conducted through the month of Oc-
tober. the object of the campaign
being that each member shall enlist
at least one person to some depart
nent IF the church during the month
named. While it is expected that
the working force of the churcn
shall be greatly increased by the
campaign, the chef aim will be to
increase the spirituality OF the
church. 1t will be interesting to
note the result of the campaign
when it reaches it's close.

now having about 400 pupils in at

Unappreciative

Mr. Hughes little seems to realize
the narrowing experience of Presi-
dent Wilson in the White house; he
little seems to realize what the
President has accomplished in
keeping this country out of the war.
He dosent seem to know how near
the brink of the European
cataclysm we have been; he Doesn't
seem to realize how we have helped
Mexico and ourselves by keeping
out of the stricken republic. He
seems to show woeful lack of
appreciation of what Mr. Wilson
has accomplished in guiding the
Uuited States through the greatest
crisis since the Civil war From

The waeeine tongue OF sophistry

Mr.. Hughes is lawyer enough to
know that an indictment against
an individual drawn in terms as
vague as he employed last night
against the Wilson administration
would be thrown out of court The
only reason why he has no such
summary ruling to fear in the
political arena is because there is
no judge authorized to make the
decision. The difference between
an action at law and a proceeding
at the bar of public opinion lies
not in the essentials of argument,
but in the mode of procedure, so
that while in the one case the re-
quirements of logic are promptly
applied, in the other the tongue of
sophistry is permitted to wag on
without cessation.-From the
