REV. WALLACE WEAR
NEW BAPTIST PASTOR MUCH
LOVED IN LAKELAND, FLA.

! Following is an account which was
| printed in the Lakeland, Fla, Even
ing Telegram about the resignation Of
Kew Wallace Wear as pastor of the
FIRST Baptist Church there:
AT the close of his sermon Iats
night, Rev Wallace Wear stated that
/ he mad accepted the call to the Bap-
ust church of Cordele, Ca, and asks
lor release from this church by SEPT.
lost His formal resignation will be
presented to the membership at the
business meeting of Sept. LIST.
Since the fourth Sunday in Deem.
per the Cordele Baptist church have
oeen making repeated calls which
, nave been declined and this. the
fourth call, makes Rev. Wear feel
that he Lord wants him in that field

was in the specific call to the
church il Lakeland, when the Louis
Vile church with deep regret gave
him up. Expressing his appreciation
III the cooperation he had had in this
church-the work accomplished-
coming here when the church was
deeply in debt for pastors salary he
leaves with this debt lifted-the cost
~ addition added to the auditorium
and with one hundred dollars in the
treasury, These facts speak for
themselves Of the work done The
many souls led up to Christ under his
messages-the changed lives-the
eye- ready hand for the help of the
poor, the tear of sympathy for those

Wear very dear to the people. His
interest has extended to the brethren
of the colore race and he has ever
been their friend and advisor. In
civic affairs he has taken a deep int
tes-taking the position that ching a
preacher does not disfranchise a man
but should make his more a factor
in civic righteousness. There has
been marked growth in the Sunday
School and other organizations of the
church during his pastorage of four
years. 1t is with a feeling of sad
ness that his memoirs and the pub
lie have to submit to what is the

10 1874 ,42+ feet. The normal production
in the same group of mills is 76,75l 900

last week cut 7>75 per cent less than
they cut during the week ending Feb

I dare say that not more than dozen of the hundreds of colleges that are go- ing in for football will clear expenses and those who confront losses know it, But they-feel that the perpetuation of the game, even in these war-torn times, is worth the money loss they will suffer.
 In other years football has been the col- legiate sport life saver" The profits from football have more than offset the losses suffered in carrying out baseball, rowing. track and field schedules. It was no uncommon thing in the bygone years for Yale, Harvard and Princeton to clear from S75,000 to sums beyond $200,0N on a season. On occasions the profits of a single game netted Yale, Harvard and Princeton close to $t00.0o0. Other colleges like Cornell. Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and those universities in the middle west which make up the Big Nine' have clesred all the way from sl5,000 to Si50,00O on a single football sea- son in the past

 Not only has it taken away countless stacle that used to stand in the way of their witnessing big gridiron battle, but it has dampened much of the enthu- siasm that used to fill those who still re- main in civilian life.

Colleges which plan to go througa with the 1918 football schedules face the same discouraging financial con. ditions which confronted the profes- sfonaI baseball leaders in the spring time.
 Close to 2.oo0, 900 men have been taken from civilian life and sent to France or to the cantonments. A mil- lion more soon are to follow And those very men are the ones who sup ported football in the bygone years; the flower of American manhood"- the youth of the nation--which found it's greatest delight in watching grid- iron combats. There are still left in America legions of men who love tht college game and who have nevet missed an opportunity of witnessing . stellar clash in the other years, Bu, many are too busy now with otner tasks to take off much time for rec reation.
 Football-the playing part of it-is splendid conditioner for the youth of America; it's a rough and ready game that develops courage, develops quick thinking and resourcefulness, even as if develops the phySicaf SelI. But football. merely as a spectacle, comes under the classification of friv~ olity in these war torn days. And so those whose patriotism has caused them to devote every leisure hour tc some work, charity or some govern ment work, will shun the football field.
 Football will draw some good crowds this season-but none that will be within a dozen miles of record- breaking. There are some persons whose love for the great collegiate game is so strong that nothing could keep them away from witnessing at least one of the real classic encoun- ters of the year. But, In the main, the average football enthusiast who still remains in civilian life, will find him. self too busy to see even the big clashes.
 And so the colleges that are going ahead with the idea of playing out the full schedule will do remarkably we'll if they break even on the season.
