In the passing of Evangelist J. H.
Dew, the South has lost one of the
most consecrated and successful re-
vivalists in all the history of South
ern Baptists. Indeed, l doubt it the
South has ever produced a greater
winner of souls. His death. brings
to me keen sense of personal loss.
In this feeble tribute l covet the gift
OIL expressing my heartfelt sorrow and
in conveying my real opinion of the
ability and versatility of my dear
friend. AS fellow student in the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary l first met him. Then a revival
which 1 conducted in Liberty, Mis-
souri,, 1 found him a most sympathe-
TIC and brotherly fellow-helper whom
learned TO appreciate and love most
fervently. In two revival meetings he
assisted me. with glorious results. His
phenomenal knowledge of the Scrip-. ).
lures, his analysis of truth and his
power to bring the gospel in it's prac-
teal application to bear upon the
lives of Christians and the unconyert-
ed alike, together with effective illus
tfatlons combined to make him a uni
que Preacher of the Word. In both

dual have never seen him surpassed.

oared our souls to each other and
was convinced of his deep sincere

ore OF my dearest friends. AS State
Evangelist in Missouri for several
years and in his larger ministry
many thousands were added to the

his tireless efforts to win the lost and
prove himself true man of integrity
he literally worked himself to death.

thousands all over the South are
deeply grieved and profoundly sympa-

shared his tolls and triumphs through
the years. Farewell, Beloved Brother,

New York, Jars 29.-Something
new in the way of foreign athletic in
vasicns will be offered here next
month when Josef Guiilemot. the SEN
sational Franeh runner. completes
with a field of American stars in
special race.
Guillemot, who won the 5000 me-
ter title at the last Olympic games
has accepted the invitation of the
Guaranty club to participate in its
annual indoor meet at Madison Square
Garden on February 10. In anticipa-
ton Of his appearance. the club has
added a special 5000 meter race to
its program.
The Americans in this race have
been limited to five. joey Ray of the
Illinois A c. and John Romig of Penn
State, intercollegiate cross country
champion, already have accepted in
vitations. The other three expected
to compete are Harry Helme of Buff
falo. national Junior and senior two
mile champion; Hallock Brown of the
Boston A. A. Olympic 5000 meter
champion, and Walter Higgins of Co.

Because Guillemot is a corporal in
the French army he must obtain a
leave of absence to leave France.
The French athletic authorities are
said to have promised every assistance
in getting the permit.

Speaker is confident of another Indian
pennant this year if his pitchers hold
out.
I'm standing pat on the lineup that

Our team finished stronger than it
started, so 1 don't see any reason for
making any change.
The Indians pitching staff proved
itself just about the best there is in
baseball in that closing dash for the
pennant and in the games with Brook
lyn- We now have a fine southpaw
in Walter Mails, whom we didn't have
when the 1920 season started, SO that's
one place where We'll open up stronger
this year than last.
Last year I figured we would win
out if the pitchers held up. This
year 1 feel more confident than ever
in my pitchers for I know 1 can de-
pend on Coveleskie. Bagby and Cald-

figure that Uhle. Clark and Morton

being segregated from other citizens.
The statistics on the number of cases
are found in the annual report of DR..
Earle C. Brown, city health officer.
OF the 142 persons found infected,
were examined on request of the chief
of police, 81, were picked up by the
police on request of the health office
and "a were secured by the nurse.
In the year 1920 there were 159
cases of venereal disease treated in
the clinic, as seventeen cases were
carried over from 1919. Eighty-four
persons were sent to Lansing for
treatment. of whom 81 were mals
and 81 female. Sixty-three of the
women infected We're between the
ages of Is and 80. and SO men were
of such ages. Five children under 10
years were found to have the disease.
