USES PARABLE AS
SERMON TEXT
DIR. CARRIER breaches AT
PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH

The pulpit of the First Presbyterian
church was occupied last Sunday by
DR.. w. o. Carrier, many years ago
pastor of that church and who has
made almost yearly pilgrimages TO
Wausau since his departure from here
some twenty years ago. He preached
a splendid sermon, using for his topic,
"The Kind of Men Christ Expects US
to lie as Set for Us in the Parable OF
Pounds"
Parable a Drama
THE parable is a drama of which
Christ himself is the author; said Dr.
Carrier "He himself and the people
of the world are the characters. We
have the privilege of choosing the part
we will take. Christ represents him
self as a nobleman who seeks the es-
Enlistment of kingdom. Men are
his servants to whom he gives the OPP
portunity and the treasure OF life.
This is the first great responsibility
and privilege for with treasures or
pounds we may gain others and in
crease our usefulness Christ sends
us forth to represent himself and all
his interests"
DR.. Carrier then enumerated -FOUR
qualities Wn1cn the commensurate ser
want must possess. First of all, he
stated, a vision or comprehension of
the great work of the Lord is essen
tial. Secondly, faith ord eviction to
the work of establishing the kingdom
of God. Loyalty to the master Is the
third qualification and lastly, the spir-
it or zeal with which the work is per-
formed.
Composite
These qualifications are not conse- |
cutive but rather composite and all OF
them operate at once. Those who OBJ
serve these rules will at last receive
the commentator and approval of the ,
master. They will also receive the
reward of increased authority and
blessedness.
On next Sunday DR.. Carrier will
again occupy the pulpit of the Pres
byterian church following which he
will go to Indianapolis to act as sup
ply pastor for a time During their
visit in Wausau, DR.. and Mrs. Carrier
are guests at the r. p. Stone home.

munication, Agrees to Release All
Americans Held Prisoner-Wiil
Be No Public Appeal.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The soviet

and cholera-stricken people of Russia

acting in this matter as head of the

Notification that the soviet govern
ment had agreed to the terms set
down in Mr.. Hoover's recent communi-
cation to Maxim Gorky was contained
in cablegram from Kamenoff, chair
man of the all-Russian central execu-
tive relief committee. 1t was forward
ed to Mr.. Hoover by Mr.. Gorky. The
text follows:
u have submitted your proposal to
the soviet government, seeing that the
soviet gvernment alone can discuss the
conditions therein. / have received
from the soviet government the follow
ih6 lNply lOL ID YOu
Soviet Governments Reply.
1.-THE Russian government has ac-
qualnted itself with the proposal of
Mr.. Hoover, made in the name of the
American relief administration, and
find this proposal quite acceptable as
to basis, including the release of the
American prisoners. The Russian gov
eminent considers it, desirable as soon
as possible to fix the precise conditions
upon which this association will begin
immediate relations of its lumane in
tentions to guarantee the feeding,
medical treatment and clothing of mil
lions Of invalidS and children. For
that purpose the Russian government
would consider it useful that Director
Brown, or another person directed
with full powers, should carry out ne
gotiations and Immediately come to
Moscow, Reval or Riga. The Russian
soviet government awaits speedy re-
ply as to the place and date of these
negotiations
Brown Ordered to Riga
Following tire receipt of the fore
going cablegram Secretary Hoover inn
medlately cabled Walter Lyman
Brown, European director of the
American relief administration at Lon
don, as follows:
"As to cable forwarded through you
to Mr.. Gorky ON July 20, would be glad
if you would proceed at once to Riga.
1t is, of course. to be assumed that the
prisoners will have been delivered out
of Russia, as demanded by the State
department, before you open discus
Sions. You will recognize that such Il
course is the most primary evidence
of willingness to secure life and lib
erty of our staff. You will please adj
wise Messrs. Gorky and Kameneff."
Discussing proposed relief meas
ures, Secretary Hoover said there will
be no necessity for public appeal for
funds or supplies. Asked what sup
plies are available. he said:
"They are in the form of reserve
cash The European needs for next
winter will determine what surplus Is
available"
Food shipments from Danzig, MIR.
Hoover said, could begin Immediately
upon an agreement with the Russians.

THE PASSING OF J. BAHRLIkORN

Vincennes, Ind-My dear friend: It is indeed with deep sadness and regret I anounce to you the passing Of our old and estimable friend into the shades of evening twilight and the purple va DOTS of Ponemah The echo of the final toll that marks his going yet mingles with the midnight air. J. Bahrli-korrn is no more. and with him in joint com munion has gone his old friend and trusted diciple MT. P. Rooney.
 You and can only bow our heads in silence, my friend, for the comanion of our old festivities, and the solace or our bygone sorrows. His presence mingles with all those little occasions enduring dearest in our memories; his the comradeship of that Fairyland of our Youth. from which we now are ever exiled. His sparkle and his flavor gave radience to the candle lights, lent a charm to the music and tinged the cheeks and warmed the lips we used to love. His was the key to the arbor Of Romance his spell wove the witchery in the moonlight and the magic in tn" Firefly's lantern
 He was the companion of kings, the delight of queens. and the friend Of knaves He has been the inspiration Of poets. the muse of authors and the toy of fair women. None more proud, none more democratic; the palace and the hovel alike knew his footsteps. He fought more battles than all the famous generals. gave forth more eloquence than all the famed orators.
 His was an old lineage coming down from the vaguest antiquity among his family retainers he numbered the con ouerors of the world. He broke the power of Alexander and took the head of Holofernes, and stripped the power of noble Antony
 Many are named for his noble station. MT. Lemmen Echstrak and J. Makey JlnSTeT, DelHS Hclu III hiSh ''Nhi' '' the former on accout of his German name probably will not be considered. MT. E vaux is well thought of, but whoever he is and wherever found his can never be the power or the glory or the strength of the noble John.
 Let us lower him in silence to the tomb of Recollection. mid the droop- ing willows where the woodbine twineth and the whangdoodle waileth, and the tweetweet singeth forevermore.
 Sadly yours,
