Other conferences over which the
bishop has prulded hava reason to ac
knowledge his ability to give an Inde
pendent decision when tha occasion de
mands. A f,w months ace at a certain
conference a Bansatlonnl Incident come
up with regard to two clergyman and
Immense preaaura was brought In hear
on Bishop Fowler In behalf of these
persons, as It was feared ha might re
fuse to give thorn appointments. Ills
cabinet recommended thorn for ap
proval. Datamation after delegation of
Interested friends bad visited him and
finally tt was believed that ha had been
convinced of the wisdom of retaining
the ministers on their old footing. After
several wsarUame sessions with these
committed and the c&bluat, the bishop
asked to ba left alone with the Lord,
that h might decide the matter. This
was regarded as a practlcul victory,
but when ho emerged from the seclus
ion Into which he had withdrawn for
communion, the two heads came off,
to the great consternation of the cabi
net and conference. Afterward one of
tha presiding elders solemnly admon
ished the others In these words: "Wo
must never again leave Bishop Fowler
alone with tha Lord I"

At tho popular meeting Wednesday
evening Rev. W. R. Horsban, D. D.,
and Rev. T. A. Miller, Fh. D., made
addresses.

duced representation was answered In
the affirmative, and the overture on
mllenge and entertainment In the neg
ative. A resolution Insisting that the Caro
line Islands bo thrown open to the
missionaries was introduced.
Rev. Dr. Albertson. the brilliant
young pastor of Delaware Avenue
Methodist church, Buffalo, has been en
thusiastically mentioned as a possible
successor to Rev. Dr. C. M. Glffln at
the expiration of his pastorate at Elm
Park church. The matter, however,
will not be thus satisfactorily adjust
ed as Dr. Albertson Is already reason
ably certain that he will go to Ger
mantown. This decision Is a disap
pointment to not a few of his Scran
ton friends, among whom Is Mr. John
T. Porter, who has been strongly In
favor of calling Dr. Albertson. x
This clergyman Is one of the few In
the Methodist church who has per
sistently remained unmarried. It has
been said that a romance in his life
caused his determination to remain
single, but whatever may be the reason
It Is not from the lack of opportunity
to select from the many charming
young women who would be willing to
share his lot, Including the great so
cial prestige he enjoys.

sion of the Wyoming District Mln

One of tho most Impressive services
conducted In the Rescue Mission since
Its opening, nearly seven years ago,
was held Inthe mission hall on Thurs
day evening. The occasion was the an
niversary service of Thomas Fitz
gerald, Thomas Bromnge and Warren
A. Berry nnd consisted of a song ser
vice nnd Scripture reading, followed by
prayer by Rev. Charles Robinson, D.
D. Then came tho testimonies of those
In honor of whom the anniversary was
given, and after this testimonies from
the other mission converts and friends,
also by J. L. Stelle and Charles H.
Chandler, members of tho mission
board of directors. Rev. Robinson, In
his closing remarks, spoke In tho high
est terms of tho mission nnd Its work
since Its opening In 1892. Refreshments
were served as usual on such occasions
at the close of the meeting, nnd all ex
pressed themselves as pleased with the
service. Meetings nre held every night
In tho mission and all are welcome.
Rev. A. J. Arnold, of BInghamton, a
member of the Wyoming conference. In
the capacity of a local preacher, died
at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning from the
effects of a heart affection, at his home
In BInghamton. Deceased was nearly
sixty-nine years old. He was a prencher
of ability and through his efforts many
were led to seek the Savior. His con
nection with the Wyoming conference
dates back nearly a score of years. He
had been a resident of BInghamton
nearly twenty-four years. Ho leaves a
wife, a brother, Rev. C. N. Arnold, and
two daughters, Mrs. Mary J. Coleman
and Mrs. Grace D. Clark. The funeral
took place Thursday afternoon. The
services were conducted by the Rev. T
F. Hall, assisted by the Rev. Dr. E. B.
Olmstead, nnd the choir of the High
street church sang three familiar selec
tions. The burial was In Floral Park
cemetery. The pall-bearers were S. S.

If the newly Installed pastor of the
Penn Avenue Baptist church hns not
a long and happy pastorate It will not
be because he lacks the sincere co
operation and hearty good wishes of
both his congregation and townfolk.
I. INTRODUCTION. Tho two books
of Samuel and tho two books of Kings
nre occupied chiefly with the dark
sldo of Ufa In Israel. The student
must not Infer that there was no bright
side. There Is abundant evidence that
many good men lived in those centu
ries, and that at times goodness nour
ished (Kings xlx, IS). But tho proph
ets who wroto these books had a pur
pose to serve. They desired to show
tha nature nnd consequences of sin
for the lntsructlon of future genera
tions; to present the folly of monarchy
which tha people demanded In the time
of Samuel (1 Sam. vlll, 6), In the place
of a pure theociacy; to find a basis for
a new ordsr as a preparation for Mes
siah, in which the church should be
Independent of tho state; to vindicate
the wisdom and goodness of God In
Hl.f treatment of the chosen people:
and to illustrate the principles of the
Divine administration. And they se
lected mntorlals accordingly. In re
viewing the twelve lessons of the quar
ter It Is proposed to cast them In n
now order, with brief comments, to
make them boar on one or more of the
purposes of the entire history.
II THE NATIONAL SINS EXPOSED
Four distinct aspects of this subject
are presented In as many lessons, In
creasing In blackness as wo ndvance.
LESSON 1. Tho division of the king
dom Into two parts, B. C. 975, showed
first, that tho north and the south
were alienated, ready on slight provo
cation to drnw apart, rather than to
labor together for the prosperity of
the kingdom; recond, that Rehobonm
lacked the wisdom of his fnther nnd
tho piety of his grandfather, and that
he wart disposed to be a tyrant rather
than the vlcc-gerent of God; third, that
Jeroboam, the returned fugitive, cared
more for honor and power than nation
al unity, fourth, that the Initial sin
of Soloman, through the Instlgotlon of
his wife (1 Kings xl, 11), injected virus
which could not be removed from the
body politic nnd called for punish
ment. LESSON 4. In the flight of the
prophet Elijah from Snmarln to Horeli
for tho preservation of his life we see
how wickedness intrenched Itself in
high places. Jezebel, the queen, was
a heathen, an ardent supporter of Banl
and Ashtnroth. Her marrlnge to the
king of Israel was contrary to tho law
of Moses (Duet, vlll, 3), and therefore
offensive to God. She became the real
ruler und exercised her power in a
most cruel and vindictive manner, so
as to terrify a man of God who had
the courage to face the multitudes of
heathen worshippers. It Is a sad day
for the land wh?n n blood-thirsty
woman threatens the life of its holy
men.
LESSON H. Tho story of Nabolh's
vineyard is a further disclosure of the
weakness and wickedness of royalty
In Israel. Ahab. grown rich and sur
rounded with luxury, coveted what he
might not legally obtain, t.e possesion
of one of his subjects, ftor falling
to buy, because of tho owner's unvvll
llngnevj to sell, he repaired to his home
In u fit of melancholy and anger. The
heathen wife, truo to her principles,
conies to him with propositions, look
ing to the destruction of Naboth on the
false charge of blasphemy, nnd the
confiscation of his estate. This dia
bolical scheme murks the depth of
Infamy Into which the court had sun
ken, when the ruler, appointed to ad
minister Justice, perverts 't and in
vades the rights which he had been
uppolntcd to protect.
LESSON 11. The sinful Indulgence,
described In the book of Amos, may
properly follow lesyon five, as Its ap
propriate seijuel. The greedy Ahab
und the wicked Jezebel loft the im
press of their characters upon tho
whole social life of Samaria It might
have been expected that n sense of
catnal security would gradually pos
sess the people, that they would put
far away any thought of punishment,
and they would llvo luxuriously and
Intemperately, and descend to debauch
ery, nnd become offensive to the Al
mighty. This wns the loglcnl outcome
of wliat had preceded, tho harvest of
centuries of tilnfttl living.
The ministers of the Presbyterian
cleric nnd a few other ministerial
brethren are to be the favored guests
on Monday morning next of Rev. Dr. S.
C. Logan, LL.D., at his pleasant study
on Linden street. Dr. Logan was one
of the original six or eight who formed
the cleric about twenty years ago, and
from the first to the present time has
been an honored member and officer.
Pleasant social amenities, spiced with
cheerful reminiscences and joyful pros
pectlves, will doubtless characterize
this gathering, to which the doctor has
invited some of his local friends In the
ministry. The occasion Is also the an
nual opening session of the cleric.
III.THE DIVINE ASSISTANCE OF
FEItED.
Whnt was thus graphically sketched
In lessons 1, 4, 5 and li would have
reon by Itself of little value. Thcro
needed to be presented with It tho
efforts of God toward a better state.
This was done In eight lessons, each
In a different way.
LESSON 2. Elijah at Cherlth comes
suddenly Into view, predicting n
drought and then hiding to be fed by
n widow. The prediction was a dis
play of knowledge, a proof of God's
presence, n challenge to the nation to
seeknfterGod. Thelack of rain, a natur
al pUcnomenn.affcctlng human comfort,
was designed to awaken thought con
cerning the origin of earthly good.
(James I, 17).Tho retirement was for
security, meditation nnd prayer. The
whole occurrence might have been
used by the people, as was Intended,
to work reformation.
LESSON 3. Flljah at Carmel Is nn
other and bolder approach to win the
people from sin. Ho came out of his
obscurity nenr tho close of tlje long
drought. His wonderful deed ought to
have Inclined the people to lilm. He
made a proposition to test Jehov
ah as compared with the ability
of the Zldonlnn Gods. The proposition
was accepted, as It deserved to be.
Tho test resulted In a complete over
throw nnd discomfiture of tho heathen
deities and their priests. The restored
altar and the consumed victim were
a visible mark of Divine favor, suffi
cient to awaken the popular faith.
Ond had revealed himself to recover
IJIs people.
LESSON 6. The translation of Eli
jah, tho transfer of his mantle, the cm-
was to Indicate the determination of
his spirit to Ellsha. -ignlfled much
every way, but In the line of our topic,
It was n most Importnnt event. Eli
jah was thus endorsed as the repre
sentative of God nnd emphnsls was
triven to his words nnd sanction to his
work. Such approval was calculated
to exercise a most salutary Influence
upon the nation, making men to know
that God was seeking the nntlon's re
form. Besides, to bring another im
mediately to succeed tho great prophet
was to indicate the determination of
the Almighty to perpetuate His gra
cious efforts In the nation.
LESSONS 7 nnd S. The story of the
Shunamlte's son and of the healing
of Nnaman exhibit the miraculous
power given to the prophet, enough
to win favor for him as a minister
of God. Supernatural power by whom
soever possessed, was to the ancients
an Invariable sign of Divine help.
(Ex IV. 3). It was by this that Moses
gained influence with the Egyptians
But power used benevolently, that Is,
for the good of another, was always
regarded most highly. Hence to lift
up a child from the dead, to restore
to health a Syrian general, were two
acts which bore on thlr face evidence
that the actor had a good heart and
that he had ability to do good, both
to be taken as evidence of Divine pur
pose to render assistance to the erring'
and til-fortunate.
LESSON 9. Ellsha at Dotluin ap
pears In a unique nnd most Interesting
light. He becomes the friend and
counselor of the king during his war
with Syria. By tho Insight nnd fore
knowledge furnished by tho direct op
eration of tho Holy Spirit he gives In
formation concerning the plans and
movements of tho enemy, so thnt tho
army was saved on several occasions.
In this way he becomes tho deliverer
of the nation, nt times when othcrwlso
Invading forces would have overrun
the country nnd taken the cities.
LESSON 10. The death of Ellshu
was an event of unparalleled Interest.
The king of Israel name down to tho
homo of the dying man, distressed be
cause of tho anticipated loss, thereby
confessing the propnet's worm, ahu
yet nt such a time, when, If ever, n
public servant might bo excused from
giving advice, Ellsha made Joash to
know the mission which God had for
hlin, and by symbolic language com
mitted him to thnt mission. Ho was
told to smite Syria and recover the
cities on the east of Jordan which had
been held for- a decade. Hero God's
proffered help to Israel attained Its
highest manifestation. Notwithstand
ing all the waywardness of nil the cen
turies he proposed to enlist Joash In
the good work of expelling Invaders,
of restoring the land to Its original
dignity nnd strength, thus making
Israel the chosen of the Lord, the light
of tho nations.

IV. THE DESERVED PENALTY IN
FLICTED. LESSON 12. In one lesson the story
of God's judgment Is told. Ten tribes,
five-sixths of the household of Abra
ham's seed, were carried awav by
Shamanezer, enstward across the Jor
dan, Into Assyria. This was Just. The
people had become heathen In their
thoughts und practices and might
properly be scattered among the
heathen. They had rejected God and
He rejected them, They had perse
vered In their course, notwithstanding
all efforts to bring them to a better
mind, nnd there wns no renson to hope
for n reform. The act was likewise one
of mercy. If tho northern kingdom
were destroyed It woud be a warning
to the southern kingdom, which God
might nurture and support for a time.
Besides, to cast these apostate Israel
ites among the heathen prepared the
way for Influences in after centuries.
For a few retained some knowledge of
God nnd of His word, nnd this was
disseminated until the wise men of the
east knew the predictions concerning
Christ (Matt., 11:2).
CONCLUSION.
This review presents the three most
striking points In all sacred history,
Indeed In nil history and biography.
Man Is a sinner the fact stains the
whole record of his earthly endeavor,
and mars all his happiness. The fact
Is the most conspicuous and shocking,
causing every other consideration of
man to be held subordinate with dimin
ished Interest. But God Is ever seek
ing to save. He Is long suffering and
kind. In Innumerable ways He em
ploys agencies by which to deliver
man from his sin. The brightest and
most wonderful chapter In the annals
of time Is that which unfolds the ef
forts of His tove for a fallen race.
Whoever rends that story will confess
that nothing more could be done (Isa,
v, 4). If then man perserveres In sin
nnd rejects the mercy nnd help of
God he must expect only that which
his sins merits. He cannot complain
If Judgment Is meted out nnd calam
ities overtnke him. Oh, the folly of
sin! Oh, the wonder of Divine love
nnd grace! Oh, the fate of thope who
will not turn from sin and accept sal
vation (l'salm vll, 12). Thp voice of
nil history calls aloud to men every
where to turn nnd live.
