D., President of Williatusport Dickinson Seminary for the past thiity-one years and prominent in the ministry in the Methodist Epis copal church for nearly half a cen tury, died at the Johns Hopkins' Hospital, at Baltimore, about 8 o'clock Friday morning. Dr. Gray was over seventy years of age, though he had always ap peared much younger. He was born and reared in Center county, and as a young man went to Wil liamsport Dickinson Seminary to complete his education. Here he met Kva limery, then a student at the Seminary, and in later years they returned to its halls as man and wife, and for more than thirty years have presided over its des tinies. Dr. Gray was graduated from Dickinson Seminary with the class of 1858, and at ouce took up the work of the ministry. He entered the Central Pennsylvania M. E. Conference in 1859, his first charge being at Lock Haven. In i860 he was located at Middletown, Md. ; 1861 in Huntington Avenue M. E. church, Baltimore; 1862-3, Lewis burg; 1864-5, Mulberry Street church, Williamsport. In 1866-7 and a part of 1868 he was in ill bealth and did not preach. He went to Lancaster in September, 1868, to become pastor of the First M. E. chuich; 1869 he was in charge of the Fourth Avenue church, Alleghany City; 1870-1, Frostburg, Md.; 1872-3, Grace church, Baltimore. On January 8, 1874, the Rev. William Lep Spottswood, D. D., president of Dickinson Seminary, tendered his resignation to take effect at once. On February 13, 1874, the Rev. E. J. Gray, (he had not then received his title of Doctor of Divinity, which came in after years), was ekcted by the Board of Directors to succeed Dr, Spotts wood. He gave the matter careful and prayerful consideration, and then accepted the presidency of his Alma Mater, which was thus offer ed to him, and had he lived three weeks longer he would have round ed out an active career of thirty one years at its head. He has left his impress upon Dickinson Seminary in a manner which will remain as long as the institution lasts. He had been its head for so many years that it had become a part of his very being. He lived only for it and, dying, died as he had wished, at the head of the school where he had been educated and to which he had de-1 voted the best aud greater portion of , bis active life. Dr. Gray leaves a widow and two sons, William E. and Edward J.; a brother, J. G. Gray, residing at Stoimstown, Pa., and a sister, Mrs. Sarah B. Wilson, of Williamsport. NORMAL OUTOLASSED- Wat Nowhere in the Came Against Wyoming Monday Night. The result of the basket ball game between Wyoming Seminary and Normal Monday evening was a genuine surprise to local enthusi asts. So completely did the upriver lads trounce the school boys, that there was no doubt as to their superiority. Only once did Nor mal lead and that was early in the game, when the score was 5 to 3. From that time on the visitors took the lead and were never headed. The Wyoming boys did excellent work throughout the entire con test, their passing, and basket i throwing being of the sensational t order. It was by far the best team that Wyoming has ever sent to Bloonif-burg. A large crowd witnessed the con test, many being present from Ber wick. There was a long and tedious wail in the first ha.f, occasioned by the electric light, and it was easily hall' nil hour before play was re sumed. 1 he score at the end of the first half was Wyoming 21 12 and tbe final score was 36 22. Dr f oley for Bishop. It ii intimnud that Rev. Dr George C. Foley, I). D , of Wil liamsport, i ho was a candidate at the last convention lor the position of bishop of the new Harrisburg diocese, may be nominated again, aud if so will probably have the un divided strength of his home city's delegations, whi h were divided at the previous gathering.

Mrs. Sarah Millard, relict of the late Associate Judge and Sheriff Millard, is no more. Gently as the snow flakes from heaven flitted down about the home in Willow Springs Sunday evening, so passed out her life. The end came at half past Fix o'clock. Death was directly due to apoplexy. A week before she was visited with a stroke of paralysis which rendered her un concious and in which condition she remained for several days. She regained consciousness an? showed some signs of improvement but her age, seventy years, was against her. Mrs. Millard was born in Fowler ville, this county, in 1835. She leaves to survive two sons and two daughters, Ernest Millard, of Kingston, and William, of Willow Springs, and Anna living at home, and Mrs. John A. Creasy, of Fowlerville. The funeral took place yesterday. Services were conducted by Rev. W. L Armstrong, of Espy, and interment in Briarcreek cemetery. Nine Men Take Icy Bath- That crossing the river is a hazardous undertaking just now was demonstrated at Danville Tues day morning, when the naptha launch plying between that city and Riverside, and operated by Daniel Ross, encountered a heavy floe of ice which capsized it, and precipitated nine men into the frigid waters. Fortunately, the water at the point where the acci- dent occurred was only about three feet, and it being not far from shore," iucy were aoie 10 waae oui. inose in the boat were Peter Baylor and W. R. Clark, of Riverside ; Dr. E. A. Curry of Danville; Calvin Clark of Mayberry township, Montour County; George Woodruff, of Rush township; William Oberdorf, of Sunbury; Geo. E. Williams of Rochester, New York ; and Frank Ross aud his sou Daniel. The boat had been operated successfully against the ice for some time past, but it seems that it struck a stone and the ice simultaneously. The former tilted it and the pressure of the ice forced it completely over. 1 I Music as a Compulsory Study- It sounds a little odd for a pro-' fessor in the Philadelphia High School to take a stand against the teaching of music as a compulsory study. He does not oppose it alto- j gether, but would make it elective. This is a concession to the senti-1 ment which prevails pretty generally in so many communities, that music is more of an accomplishment than anything else. There are many persons who seem unable to appre ciate the fact tfiat it is one of the most educatiug and refining forces in the world. Musical talent is not always spontaneous, as some people thinkx It can often be cul tivated aud called out where it is latent, and even unsuspected. Wherever enforced musical training in the public schools prevails for any length of time the result promptly makes itself seen and felt in social life, in the churches and, indeed, everywhere. $80,000 Blaze at Wilkw-Barre. The business center of Wilkes Barre was for a third time seriously threatened Saturday night. A general alarm was sent in and by effective work the firemen succeeded in confining the flames to the large clothing,, house of Simon Long's Sons, where the fire, originated. This building was gutted aud the entire stock destroyed, or damaged by water, entailing a loss of $8o, 000, partially insured. Adjoining buildings were only slightly damaged by smoke and water.

I ObadiahStrout, the church orgau ist at Mason's Corner, met old Ab ner Stiles, who pumps the chun h organ for him, down at the Cross roads last evening and threatened ' Stiles with the loss of his pumping job if he did not cease his attentions to the buxom Widow Crowley who . works at the PettengiU farm. I Strout said the congregation did not take kindly to the Irish, and the question whether Abner Stiles should continue pumping the organ was likely to cause a church row. i Abner Stiles acknowledged that ten cents a Sunday and no pew rent to pay for pumping the church organ, was a job not to be sneezed at, ana, Desiaes, ne knew many 1 I a ! were underbidding him, but when 11 came to cnoosing between organ pumping and Mrs. Crowley, he chose Mrs. Crowley every time. This incident leads up to one of the funniest comedy situations on the stage, in that Great New Eng land play, Quincy Adams Sawyer, which will appear at the Opera House Monday evening next, Jan. 30.

It is a very strong play and Gordon & Bennett's presenta tion at the Academy last evening was a creditable one. The com pany is good and some members played their parts in splendidly convincing style. Charles M. Greene as Caiaphas, the high .priest; Clyde B. Callicotte as I Marius, a young Roman ; Raymond Gilbert its John the Baptist and Pontius Pilate ; Amelia Mayborn as Herodias ; Fred N. Allen as John, the beloved disciple ; Edwin Hoyt as Judas, and Leon Robert son as Peter, deserve especial men tion. The settings are fine and costumes historically accurate and pleasing. The final scene, the grand transformation of the holy sepulchre, the resurrection and flight ol angels and the gates of the new Jerusalem is a Deautitul one The atmosphere of the play is holy and impressive and made a good impression on the audience.

The Fact ot the New Birth, (L) Nlcodemus' Quest, vs. 1, 8. Nlcodemus came seeking he knew not what, and was brought face to face with one of the most profound truths of Scripture. He recognised Jesus as a teacher sent from God, yet doubted His personal message to htm. He admitted the miracles of Jesus, yet was a stranger to thA emitter miracle of the new birth. Whaterer may have been the attitude of Nlcodemus towards Jesus that night, certain It Is that he became later a secret believer In Him. See John 7:60-61 and 10:89. (2) Jesus' Solemn Declaration, v. 3. This passage is specially significant In that It Is the first recorded discourse of Jesus and was delivered to Nlcodemus who was a ruler of the Jews and a member of the Sanhedrin. Nlcodemus' high position as a religious teacher among the Jews and hia zeal and devo tion to God's law and the Jews' religion, did not assure him of a place In the King dom of God. He must be born "again" or from above (marginal reading), as must every one who enters the Kingdom of God. The fact of the new birth as es sential to salvation needs emphaEls In this day of liberalism and apostasy. The new birth is necessary because of cor rupt human nature, vs 6 and Rom. 8:7, 8. II. The Nature of the New Birth. (1) Misunderstood by Nlcodemus. v. 4. Tha natural mind cannot understand the things of God. 1 Cor. 2:14. Jesus waa amazed at Nlcodomus' blindness of heart, v. 10; Mark 8:18; Eph. 4.18. (2) Explained by Jesus, (a) New Birth Through the Spirit, v. 6. "Born of water and oi the Spirit," Implying a thorough spiritual purification by the operation of the Holy Spirit, water be ing symbolic of cleansing In all tha Jewish ceremonies. Comp. Titus 3:6. (b) New Birth Is Spiritual, v. 6. Just as flesh begets flesh, so the Spirit begets spiritual. It is spiritual resurrec tion. Eph. 2:1, 6. A new creation, 2 Cor. 6:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph. 2:10. (c) New Birth Not Unreasonable, v. 7. If physical birth Is necessary to share in physical life, then why should It be thought strange that there must be Spiritual birth to experience spiritual life? The birth of the babe marks Its advent Into the world. The birth of a soul under tbe power of the Spirit marks the advent of a soul intothe Kingdom of God. "Marvel not," therefore, "y must be born again." (d) New Birth Invisible and Unob servable, v. 8.---The Spirit and the indi vidual soul are the only ones that know of the sacrel process. Curious eyes may not lift tte curtain which God has drawn over this natal spot of the soul. ' (eMew Birth Known Absolutely by Jp-Sus, v. 11. Luke 2:40, 62. A personal testimony of actual experience is .stronger evidence than the most learned and weighty theory or opinion. (f ) New Birth an Earthly Experience, v. 12. It marks the beginning of spirit ual sight. If the initial truth of the Christian life seems so incomprehen sible, how could the deeper mysteries of the Kingdom of God be received? (g) New Birth Made Possible by Jesus ChrlBt, vs. 13, 14. Here Is a Bub- lime picture. Head the story in Num. 21:4-9. A type of which Christ was tha fulfillment. Jesus' sacrifice for sin was to give life. It made the New Birth pos sible. Those who are born from above are begotten of God. 1 John 6:1. III. The Recipient of the New Birth, v. 16. Jesus declared the fact of the New Birth. He then showed Its nature, and Its necessity, and now because Ha was the Lamb of God which taketh away, the sin of the world, He makes the New Blrth dependent upon faith In Him.' The Golden Text. "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Eon, that who soever believed in Him should not per-! ish, but have everlasting lite.' This verse is immeasurable, inexhaustible, all-satlBfylng. It reaches from "God in the highest." to the depths where sin has cast the world. The vast ocean of God's love rolls there, bearing on its bosom the fair gift. His only begotten Son. Everlasting life Is there to celiver from Death's power.
