papers of the state He was enthusi-
astic and energetic and did vast
amount of good work"
Mr.. Rose came to Wausau about two
years ago taking an interest in the
Wausau Record. His wife and son,
Henry, also came and all decided to
make their home here. We do not
think that deceased was a we'll man
during his life in Wausau Neverthe-
less he was an untiring worker and
whenever he set out to accomplish any
thing he succeeded, there was no such
word as ''fail' in his vocabulary. This
was why he was placed in the position
of secretary of the Wisconsin Valley
Advancement Association. During the
time that Lester A. Rose was in that
position, he did more to make known
the vast resources of this valley, than
all the promoters combined who have
been at work since the opening of the
Northern Wisconsin forest to civiliza
ton. 1t was he who established car
butus Day." and it was he who sue
ceeded in getting the editors of Wis
consin to make the trip up the valley.
Besides the amount of copy which he
furnished the newspapers, always
booming the valley, was simply marve-
lous. His latest work, the write-up of
the valley, in the Milwaukee Sentinel,
showed master hand in that line of
work. That deceased, by his ability
and strong personality, made himself a
power ir all matters in which he in
terested himself, stamped him as an
extraordinar man. His friends al
ways found him courteous, kind and
generous and he had many in Wausau
who sincerely mourn his loss and who
deeply sympathize with his bereaved
family.
Mrs. Rose went to Milwaukee on the
Wednesday evening train and was ac-
companied by Mrs. +. S. Elliot and
Charles Mackey, and where she was
met by her sou, Henry, and her mother
and brothers of Illinois. The funeral
took place on Friday afternoon, at
Madison, the former home of Mr. Rose.

Last week the PILOT stated that l..
K. Wright and A. F. Marquarit had
secured permission from our farmers to
take what they wanted from their farm
produce at the county fair for exhibit
ton o. the state. The above named
gentlemen were at the state fair last
year with our county exhibit and not
withstanding neither had ever made a
study of exhibits of this kind, as to
what it would be necessary to have to
gain points, still they succeeded in get
ting first prize, above all the other
counties of Wisconsin; great honor
for Marathon Taylor county was a
close second and WaIworth, third.
This year Messrs. Wright and Mar
quardt did some figuring, they went
prepared to take the first premium, and
were successful, and to Messrs. Wright
and Marquardt we owe the credit of
this great work for Marathon county.
OF the display the Milwaukee Journal
had the following to say:
Next to this exhibit comes Marathon
county with a most excellent exhibit.
Gram in tastefully arranged bags, of
red, white and blue striped stuff bear
ing the words, Marathon county, and
two small crossed flags; samples of
corn fourteen feet high, every variety
of vegetables and what that county is
most proud of, grasses and clover. All
of the varieties of clover and grass are
here, tall, elegant looking stalks that
would delight the heart and stomach of
any grazing animal; and then elegant
specimens of genuine Kentucky blue
grass And there is story connected
with this blue grass. Some fifty years
ago some kentuckians settled in that
part of the state and took with them
some seed of their favorite grass. 1t

From the Chicago Times Herald Monday
Rev. DR.. w. o. Carrier, the new pas
tor of the Belden Avenue Presbyterian
church, preached his inaugural sermon
Yesterday morning He spoke on the
text, Isaiah liv. 2: Enlarge the place
of thy tent and stretch forth the cur
tains of thy habitation." He said
1t is the privilege and duty of the
church to enlarge. Expansion is a
fundamental of the gospel of Jesus
Christ. He came into the world to
save all men, and his gospel is univer-
sal in its aim. The mustard seed must
grow into tree, the leaven must leaven
the whole lump. The Christian must
not put his lamp under bushel, but
shine until every dark place shall be-
come light.
1t is not a matter of choice whether
the church shall speak or keep silent.
Not question OF choice whether we
shall send missionaries to China vixen
they are not wanted 1t is a question
of obedience to the command of Him
who came to this world TO bring light
and life aud blessing, although DE wa
despised and rejected of men. he
came, Notwithstanding he was perse-
secuted aud crucified, and His final
commission was to His faithful follow
ers, go We into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature.
AS we enter today upon the new re
lationship of people and pastor, it Il
with the hope that this purpose of en-
largement and growth shall characterize
all our efforts and plans. An exper
fenced Christian worker has given foul
conditions which viii result in great
usefulness. The first is opportunity

grew well in their lawns and yards and
in time the wind s,at.ered the seeds
until now the open PLACES are filed with
it and as fast as the trees are cleared
away the beautiful yelvety grass springs
up as native to the soil. When the
kentucky editors visited that country
last summer the first thing they said
was: Here's our grass" 1t grows in
Marathon county with all the strength
and vigor of the blue grass state and
even more plentifully and higher, max
ing this county Il grazing country
Then Marathon is exhibiting another
southern product this year, though it is
not yet crop in the county, and that
is tobacco The farmers in that county
grow a considerable quantity of the
soothing weed for their own use and
have sent some down here to show
what can be done in that and tobacco
buyers who are here say that it is OF
good stock, well favored and ought to
make good crop. There are also ex-
hibits of broom corn which is another
plant the old timers thought could not
be grown up there. Then in addition
to all this the exhibit contains a large
12-foot map of the county done in grains
raised in the county, each town marked
off with different grain or seed, the
creeks, and rivers all shown and
small United States flag showing the
location of the school houses. There is
also large collection of photographs
showing the farms of the county built
out of the lands over which the lumber
man made his cut not so many years
ago, and that for some time was con-
sidered worthless land, in fact, much OF
it being sold at a ridiculously low figure
on that account"

its ability and surroundings offers a
splendid field of operations. A second
condition is that of united effort. AS
great corporations, made up of many
smaller fortunes, accomplished what
divided efforts could not, so the com
bining of our efforts will make us the
more efficient and useful. The third
condition is determined effort. This is
condition of success in the material
world, and it is not less so in the spirit
nal world The farmer, the merchant,
the student and the soldier achieve sue
cess by persistent, faithful, thoughtful
application; and disposition to take
life easy in Christian service will re-
suit in failure. Christ never encour-
aged His disciples that His was a way
of ease, He told those who would fol-
low Him that He had not where to lay
his head. Last and most needful of all
is the favor aad blessing of God.
Christ plainly told His disciples that
without Him they could bear no fruit.
Moses was called of God to undertake
great work, for which, unconsciously,
he had been eighty years in prepare
ton, but he would not move forward
until assured and treasured that God
was with him, and Joshua only under
took the leadership of great people
when he was assured that as God was
with Moses, so He would be with him.
Christ commanded His disciples to tar
ry at Jerusalem until they were en-
dowed with power. The church needs
nothing so much today as the quicken
/ ing. guiding, stimulating power OF
Gods spirit. Eloquence, masic, rich
architecture and social spirit. if sancti-
/ fed. have a great power to uplift, but
without the blessing of God they viii
not avail.
