John Clark (chaplain)

John Flavel Clark (December 10, 1784 – October 7, 1853) was a Presbyterian clergyman who served as Chaplain of the Senate.

Early years

John Flavel Clark was born on December 10, 1784, in Allentown, New Jersey, the oldest of three sons of Margaret Imlay Clark and Dr. Joseph Clark who was pastor of First Presbyterian Church of New Brunswick, New Jersey (1796–1813). Joseph Clark also served on George Washington's general staff during the Revolutionary War. John F. Clark graduated valedictorian from Princeton University in 1807. After graduation he was engaged in teaching in Georgia. He began studying for the ministry at Andover Theological Seminary in 1810. There he became acquainted with Adoniram Judson, Samuel Newell and Samuel John Mills, thus beginning a lifelong commitment to the cause of foreign missions. He was one of the founders of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.

He was chosen to be a tutor at Princeton, where he continued his divinity studies under its president Ashbel Green. He was called to be stated supply at First Presbyterian Church Flemington, New Jersey, and then to be its pastor, resulting in his ordination in June 1815.

John Clark (footballer, born 1941)

John Clark (born 13 March 1941) is a former Scottish international footballer and member of the Celtic team nicknamed the Lisbon Lions.

Playing career

Born in Bellshill, Lanarkshire, he was part of the Celtic team that won the European Cup in 1967. Clark is perhaps the most unheralded player among the Lisbon Lions team. His undramatic style of team play in sweeping up beside fellow centre back, Billy McNeil, was integral to the success of the team. His role as Celtic's sweeper earned him the nickname "The Brush."

Clark earned four caps for Scotland all in his time with Celtic.

He left Celtic for Morton in 1971, where he retired two years later from playing.

After playing

Clark enjoyed a managerial career with Cowdenbeath, Stranraer and Clyde in the 1980s and early 90s.

His son Martin also became a professional footballer, with Clyde, Nottingham Forest and Partick Thistle in the 1990s.

John Clark is currently employed by Celtic as their kit man, a position he has held for two decades - making him the second-longest ever serving Celt, after Willie Maley.

Clark (mascot)

Clark is the official team mascot of Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs. He was announced on January 13, 2014 as the first official mascot in the modern history of the Cubs franchise. He was introduced that day at the Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center's pediatric developmental center along with some of the Cubs' top prospects such as number one draft pick Kris Bryant and Albert Almora, Jorge Soler, Mike Olt and Eric Jokisch. Over a dozen Cubs prospects were attending the Cubs' Rookie Development Program that week. The Cubs become the 27th team in Major League Baseball to have a mascot, leaving the Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees as the remaining franchises without mascots. According to the Cubs' press release, Clark is a response to fan demands (expressed via surveys and interviews) for more kid-friendly elements at Wrigley Field Cubs games to keep pace with games in other cities that have more to offer youth fans.

Description

He is a "young, friendly Cub" who will wear a backwards baseball cap and greet fans entering Wrigley Field, which is located at the corner of Clark Street (for which he is named) and Addison Street. North Clark Street borders the third base side of Wrigley Field. According to the Cubs, the fictional character Clark is descended from Joa, the franchise's original live Bears mascot in 1916.
