INTEREST GRO VING IN REVIVAL AT BAPTIST CHURCH The revival meeting at the First Baptist church has nmow begun In program till the conclusion of the series of services. Yesterday afternoon Rev. Wal lace Wear, the local pastor, spoke to a crowd of over three hundred by actual count, in the park. Although the people had been expecting Dr. Dodd to speak at the afternoon ser vice, there was not the slightest evi. dence of disappointment, the large gathering paying the most careful attention to his earnest message. That this form of service is a great by the fact that at both these open air service there have been profes. sions of faith. . Dr. M. E. Dodd, of fihrevepon. La., the visiting evangelist, at the evening service yesterday delivered decidedly his strongest message in the series thus far. “God's Ultima- tum to the Lost.” Two passages of scripture were used as a basis for the telling remarks of Dr. Dodd, Acts 17:30 and Luke 13:3. “And the S PPLILEPE PSS+ 240 PHE3 | times of this ignorance God winked :one of the reasons why this place 1§ at, but now commandeth all men ev erywhere to repent,” and “I tell you nay, but except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish." The first great truth noted by the speaker was the fact that repentance is a direct command of God.. “Now commandeth.” “It is not a sugges - tion,” said he, “‘or merely advice but a command. “God commandeth” of equal force with all the commands ever given us from God. Not only a command, but a universal com . mand. God does not merely com . mand some few races or sections of the human family but “all men ev-- erywhere.” There seems to be the great trouble among men today. They seem to feel that somehow, or somehow else God will make a spe cial provision for those who are in ignorance, the heathen. No greater error could possibly be made. It is a plain case of mistaking the dis- ease for the remedy. Sin, my brother, the awful thing of sin, that thing that God hates above every thing else, sin, is a disease, and the word of God with its message of be. lieving faith, that is the remedy. Men die of the disease; they don't get well because they haven’t got the remedy. If 1 am burning up with fever, and have no medicine near me, shall not I die of the fever just the same as the man who has it, and has the medicne but refuses to take it? ‘‘He commandeth all men everywhere to repent.” Lastly, repentance is necessary to salvation for Christ said: “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise per ish.” What then is repentance? Repentance is a change of the mind | and the heart, or of the will and the | affections toward God, self and sin. {1t is an “about face, forsaking the sin you once loved and loving the God you once spurned, forgetting the self you once adored in the ser vice of the King whose child you now are.

The results weren't odious from a Lakeland standpoint at any rate. The unanimous opinion of the bunch is that they fared much better in putting up at Lakeland than they 3 OPPOSE RY.

It has eight miles of street paved with brick and as. phalt, whereas last year the Colonels were continually busy digging sand out of their low cuts. . The team is quartered in the Tremont hotel, and when they woke up the first morning they learned Irnlled Lakeland.

It also claims the proud distinction of hav. ing & few swella in the surface of the earth, which have been cour- teously called hills. But the fact that this clay was available has made the infleld a great improve ment over the grass tufted sand course which the Fort Myers field presented . Because of the unstable sand be- neath the clay, it could not be rolled down with a steam roller, but hand rammers worked on it under the guidance of Groundkeeper Joe Frye. The outfield of sand is passable, and has been rolled with a five ton af. fair. in the infield the balls take a true Eclipse Park bound, but in the garden they quickly lose life. One reason the entire fleld wasn't finished before Saturday was be-, cause labor was reticent.

Newport News, March 16.—The United States dreadnaught Penn sylvania, successfully launched here today, is the largest sea fighter afloat. Secretary Daniels in his ad dress at the luncheon that followed, expressed the hope that the Penn sylvania would be a messenger of peace rather than a weapon of de struction. He paid tribute to the present efficiency of the United States mavy. Commander Thieri. chens, of the German cruiser Prince Eitel Friederich, was present at the launching. The Eitel was among the vessels that blew their whistles when the . Pennsylvania was launched. EXPRESS COMPANIES ASK. REHEARING IN RATE CASE (By Ascoclated Press.) Washington, March 16.—Repre sentatives of the American, Adams, Southern and Wells Fargo Express Companies today asked permission of the interstate commerce commission to file a petition for rehearing in the express rate case, in which it was declared that low rates in force pre. scribed by the commission had been ‘“‘disastrous.” COMPLETION OF EVERGLADES DRAINAGE IN SEVEN MONTHS Miami, Fla., March 18.—Work on the State drainage canals through the Everglades will be resumed in three months and the canals are to be completed within four months from date. This is provided in the amended contract hetween the com. missioners of the Florida Everglades dranage district and the Furst -Clark Construction Co. which has offices in this city. Negotiations between the drainage commissioners and the construction company, relative to modifying the former contract in the Everglades dairnage work, have been concluded and duly executed on behalf of the respective parties, ac cording to Judge J. L. Billingsley, there will now be no further delay. whereas last year the caprice of O!4 Sol was the determining factor in getting warm water.

Thaw's motion that he be returned to New Hampshire. The justice ordered Thaw to be sent back to Mattewean asylum unless “legal papers are served on the warden of the Tombs calling for the prisongr’'s retention in New York city. That already has been done. Warden Hanley, pre. vious to the decision, was served with a writ of habeas corpus re- quiring him to produce Thaw in court next Friday. It was said that this was to prevent Thaw from be ing returned to Mattewean before that time at least. The State had all its plans made to rush Thaw back to Matteawan asylum. There were attendants in the room and the sheriff had armed deputies stationed in the court room corridors to prevent a possible at. tempt to abduct Thaw during the brief interval he was out with the warden and custodian. While cross ing the Bridge of Sighs, the sheriff sald he had heard rumors.
