Price was nt tho Broael street station In Philadelphia Thursday night greeting convention friends. He was both pleased and dis appointed at the result as far as vice president was concerned, since he re gretted the loss to New York state. Roosevelt Is a personal friend and Dr. Trice Is so much of a favotlto with him that he Is always able to secure , lilm for annual addresses at Ocean Grove. The late Vice President Ho hart was also a closo friend of the former pastor of Elm Park church, and Dr. Price was a very frequent vis itor during" his last Illness. It may not bo generally known by many ad mirers of Dr. Price in this cltv that he has probably exercised no little In fluence on the presidential campaign. He was a member of Important com mittees during tho Oeneral Conference at Chicago, and among these was tho one which acted upon the relation of the president -with the canteen ques tion. It was principally due to the strong fight made by Dr. Price that the clause of criticism of McKlnley were eliminated after days of heated discussion. So pleased was the pres ident at this result that ho personally wrote to tho doctor, thanking him for his efforts, tho result of which both tonsldered but simple justice. Later on Dr. Price received a letter of appreciation from Mark A. Hanna regarding the same subject. It may be remembered that It was at tho famous meeting at Ocean Grove that President McKinley first publicly out lined his Philippine policy, and this was no accident.

Five lesions presetted tho tcacliirgs of Jesus and thice peiulned to miracles. In four lessous Jesus is represented in his relations with John the rtaptLl, with his disciples and with the Pharisees. If there is loss to the student thtough tho ficquciu change from book to book and from theme to theme, thine is gain in one par ticular, we arc abio to see how Jesus appeared tu various men under varjlng circumstances. PIllbT LEvsO.V ("April 1. The Peatitudcs, Matt iv, 25 to .12). In this lesson Jesus souglTt to show His disciples what all desiro to know, the secret of blessedness. He did not attribute it to any of thuio outward conditions upon which mm ordinarily depend, wealth, friendship, honor, wealth puwei, but rather to certain states which most people seek to avoid. He claimed that hap piness was of jntein.il origin and sketched the souices under eight heads, potert, mourning, mcckne-s, hunger, mercy, puiitj, peace-making, persecution, Here is a steady progress along tho line of spliltual development until ono reaches that which the world cannot understand.

Tho daughter of Jarlm raised. Maik v. 2.'-21i 35-4). This is one of the most Interesting dUplaja of tho power of Jesus, ccic!scd toward one who had no claim upon Him. The luler of the synagogue was pre sumably under (lie contiol of the ecclesiastical pirty, who In the main was hostile to Christ. His coming was proof ot Ills desperation. His despair of finding help elsewhere. While Jesus was in the way intending to render assistance to tho sick, word was brought that the child was dead. Proceeding to the house, He endured tho scoffs of those who stood aliout in profes sional grief, and then, ejecting ficm the clum ber all but the parents and his three selected apostles, Jesus spoke and the damsel was re stored.

The Providence Presb.vterian peoplo had anoth er reason on Sundiy evening for Justifiable pride in their choir, because of a choice selection of anthem, music which was Included in the rig uhr Sibbath evening service of tint church. Two quartettes and a like number of anthems by the full choir of sixteen voices were rendered with a marked expression and hinnony which dearly evidenced the exceptional proficiency of the singers, under the painstaking directorship of Professor C. F. Whittemoie. So appropriate and worshipful were the selections that the congre gation realized afrish tho helpful character of good music in sanctuary worship. Mrs. V. II. McDonnell is the tery acceptable organist of that chuich. II II II Special music tomorrow evening at the lVst Tresbytenan church, or rather an evening of sacred song. After tomorrow the choir go on disturbed by this, and lnstencd to assure Jesus that lie did not expect such a distinguished per son to come under his roof, and that it was not nccessarj. Tho man's faith secured the coveted favor. rOUlVril LESSON (April 20. Jesus and John tho Haptist. Cuke til, U-2s). Shut up in the prison at Mlcharus by oidcr of llcrud, John heard of Jesus and sent two ril-ciples to learn whether He was the Mis-I.ili. The events subse quent to tho baptism and the sul lot of the great reformed bad raised some doubts in his mind. The answer returned by Jesus consisted nnh of a rental ot incidents in Ills miiusiiy ns proofs, inasmuch as they fulfilled piophcey. Aft er the messengers had deputed Jesus seired the occasion to express to those about J II in His high estimate of John, declaring that ho was the greatest of the piophets and the fore-runner promised by Malaclii, a doube testimony of great value. SIXTH I.KsSOV (May II. Jesus warning and in viting. Matt, xl, 2U 30) Ibis lesson breaks rude ly into two greit parts, fiom the twentieth to the twenty-fourth being the hrst part, which deals with the cities of his ministry. 'I he other portion, twciitt four to thlrt), has reference to individuals. The great woik which He hid done in ( horazlu, Hcthsalda and Capernaum, had ex alted those towns in point of privilege above all others. He foresaw, both by His gift ot pre science and His acquaintance with tho laws of ethical life, lint sevire Judgments would bo visited upon them, and He gate warning ac cordingly. Hut he saw also that miny among tho people deserted a better fate, and He, there fore, offered them his gracious assistance in most winning words. Si:vi:vril I.UsSOX (May ll. Jesus at the Pharisee's House. Luke tii, S6 50). The scene in this lesson changes five times. An unknown Pharisee, a class of men generally opposed to Christ, Invited Jesus to his home to dine, and Jesus accepted me Invitation. While they were at the table a woman camo and nimointcd the feet of Jesus and bathed them with her tears, Tho Pharisee was surprised that Jc.us allowed such familiarity from the woman, who was a sinner, and thought He could not bo a prophet. In explanation Jesus gate the parable of the two debtors and declared the woman was for given, W hereupon those at tho table objected. LKJHiII LKSSON (May SO. Parable of the Sower. Matt, xlll, 1-8 and 1S-2J). The paiabla is stated in the first eight verses and explained in the last six tcrses. It tonus one of a series by which Jesus sought to make known the nature of the kingdom of heaven, as a corrective to the law and worldly slews common among the peo ple, He came to set up a kingdom In the hearts of men by means of tho truth. That truth was delivered by lllin and his apostles and the result depended upon the conditions of those who heard it. The stony ground, the thorny ground, this good ground aro very appropriate titles, applic able to tho different classes of hearers who are to bo found In all ages and countries wherever the gospel Is proclaimed. NINTH LKSSON (May 27, Parables of the Kingdom. Matt xlll, 21-8J), This lesson con tinues what was begun in last lesson, and seeks to give a further view ot the kingdom ot heaven r4 their summer vacation. A cordial invltition Is extended all to this service of song. AnthcnV'Savlour to Thy Dear Name". .Llewellyn Choir. Solo, "Abide with Me" DeKoten J, T. Walklns.

The first of these be gins with tho same general circumstances as tho other, the sow jug nf grain, but assumes that the sccii ami the soil were good. It introduces anoth er clement, the bul seed sown by enemies. The second parable, the mustard seed, exhlhits the snnll beginning and the extensive growth of the kingdom. The tliiid parable emphasizes the fact that in the kingdom there is a gernilnil princi ple which imparts to other objects its own qual it, even as leaven spreads itself through the meal. 1KNTH LKSSOV (lunc 3. The Twelve Sent Forth Matt. K, 33 to X, 8). Here we have four facts concerning the ordination of the aims ties: 1 1h occasion. Jesus saw the multitude who gathered about him and had compassion on them. 2 The authority. He gave to thein, that is Ho imparted what otherwise they could not have, right and ability to ileal with unclean or evil spirits and with the diseased bodies of men. 3 The limitation. He directed them not to go to the (ientllea (a ministry to be exercised lat er), but to confine themselves to the Jews. 4 'Hie instruction. He ordered tnem to do two things, to preach (which was their chief business) and to heal, and to do this freely, that is, with out remuneration or charge. r.LF.VKVri! LESSON (a -nc 10. Death of John the Haptist. Mark tl, 14-20). This passage is interjected in tho narrative to show why Herod had misconceptions of, Jesus. The conscience of the wliked ruler brought him into Judgment for his crimes. The lesson serves also to show the condition of society at the time, especially of society at court, the insecurity of men, and the manner lit which lust and brutality triumphed oier tirtuc. These things form the dark back ground on which tho pure life and excellent teaching ol Jesus were displayed Never was there a moro complete contrast than that be tween Herod and Jesus. The character and deed of the former served to show how important was the mission of the latter. TWIXVTH LF.SSON (Juno 17. Tho Feeding of the Five Thousand. John tl, 5-li). Here Is a display of humanltarlanlsin on the part of Jesus, who improved a most interesting occasion when Ills glory and power might also bo rctealed. Thousands of hungry men gathered in the coun try to hear Him would have been dismissed by tho apostles. Hut Jesus detained them, and with five loaves and two fishes satisfied their hunger, gathering up afterwards twelve baskets full of what was not consumed. The outcome of this wonderful deed was a confession from those who witnessed it that Jesus was tho great prophet whom the nation expected, and they were ready to make Him Ling. CONCLUSION. The teaching of Jesus was in cidental, not systematic. He did not attempt to arrange Ills utterances In a logical way, so that one part should support another, and all should form a continuous and orderly whole. Put hi spoke to uiec men's needs and to answer their questions, Witt bo said, however, proceeded from a tait storo of knowledgo that lay in His mind in no confused nay, and men ought to take guldanco ot His fragmentary and disconnected vords and go back into that realm of infinite truth. So with Ills deeds. Tbey were alwass adapted to man's wants. But they were also evidences of His almightlness In considering which the human mind U filled with wonder. 'hLaiy i W 'rn o.
