Under his wise sleadership, many
members have been added to the
church. and a debt of nearly $1,000 has
been cleared by his efforts. In all his
relationships he has revealed a large
conception of the Christian ministry, a
ready and direct approach to men and
affairs and an Intelligent sympathy
with the social problems Of the modern
world.
He has entered into the closest fellow
ship with the other churches ard pas
,ors Of the city on lines Of religious and
social quickening, and has grealy en-
dcared himself to Il large host of
friends beyond the limits Of his own
parish.
Mr.. Bradeen is a native of Maine.
nOssessed of sterling English and
Scotch ancestry. Endowed with nat
ural abilities for religious leadership.
he supplemented these with full courses
Of study in the schools Of our state.
He has held previous to his coming to
Gardiner. i'll Maine, Rhode Island anI
New Hampshire, most successful pas
toratas and he now adds to this list an
equally successful one in Gardiner.
On the first Sunday of the New Year
he will begin a new pastorate at Carl
bou, where he has received an urgent
and unanimous call from the people,
and this has been heartily endorsed by
their denominational leaders. The op-
nortunity there, both in influence and
in salary, will be much larger than
that enjoyed at Gardiner While act
ing as pastor of the local church, he
will have general supervision over g
number Of churches in the surrounding
regions.
He leaves Gadiner assured of the love
and esteem of its people, the great good
will of the citizens at large and highly
esteemed and honored by the members
of the Pastors Union, of which ne was
a wise and efficient member.
While a host of friends will regret

SO Michigan was FIRST wit1

That the Wisconsin idea OF
the name, however, was
known at Jackson appears
from the fact that Jacob M.
Howard, chairman of the
Jackson committee on resolu-

convention assembled letter
from Greeley, in which the
latter said he had been advis-
ed that Wisconsin would
adopt the name Republican
on July 10, and suggesting
that Michigan anticipate her
sister state ON the 9th. This
letter was shown to Zach
