On Thursday evening last the tenth annual exhibition of the work of the pupils lu art ol Mrs. II. Tempest Jenkins olosud at Philadel phla. All the )iewpaiiers of that olty sotatnetited very favorably upon the oxbibt lion and as Mrs. Jinking was formerly a resident of this town ami has many relatives jtml warm acquaintances distracts from some if tho comments may he Intcrestlug to many of tho HltALli readers. The Philadelphia l'ublic Lalyer said: "It is vaiiod, ranging from oaiivmee of high merit to dalnly b'io-a-brac, illustrating tho .most oxmtislto decorative art, and throughout it Is marked by boldness of execution that shows oouscioutious work milled with ver satile talent- of no moan order. The whole exhibit represeuta tlie work of tho pupils ifrom Octolier last t the present time. That hearts us well us heads have been in oarneet tudy is evident at a glance. Modestly put asido iu an obscure corner of the studio is a small canvass which attracted much atten tlonut the Paris Salou of 1S99. It Is the work of Mrs. 11. Tempest Jenkins, and is what tho French tall study of "Jjiughing jrotatoes," a study so realistic and delicate that it calls to mind the best piocos of tho late Mlohael Ilartnett. The same hand is evident, at a glance, in some landscape .studies, whose authorship, but for inquiry, would go unmentioned. The exhibit of .decorative art is, ou the whole, exceptionally good, and occupies a large I'lace in the Atudlo. Mrs. .Tonkin's theory, in this par' ticulnr branoh of study, is that a good dec orator must necessarily and primarily he a .good figure and color artist. With this .axiom In mind she first graduates her pupils from the pencil and brush, mid the soundness . her principles is amply justified iu tho Jesuit." flAiicrhlnir l.uul trt Uondfllntltloil.

E. church on Sunday evening was from the words of Christ to Nicodcmus, John 3-K. "Verily, verily I soy unto thee, except a man bo bom again, ho caimot see tho kingdom of God." The Now Tostamont doctrine of tho now birth marks a decided advance upon tho teachings of tho Old Tostamont. Even Nicodcmus, that master in Jsraol, was surprised at it. Ho had learned to look no farther than outward rites fur deliverance from sin. Hut the Saviour directed his thought to an inward chango of so radical n nature that he calif d it another birth for tho secret of deliverance Iroin sin and participation in tho kingdom of God. To bo bom again is to rccclvo spiritual life. Ily nature man is dead in trespasses and sins, lis chiefest need is lifo. Tho process by which he obtains it iB called a "birth," n birth from nbovo. Speaking of bolieveis John says "thoy wero bom, no not of blood, nor of tho will of tho flesh, nor of tho will of man, but of God." Heuco they aro partakers of the dlvino nature, children of God, bo gotten again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Tliey were dead, but they heard the voice of tho Son of God and they now live. Such expressions are surely moro than ompty figures of siwech. The adoption into God's family, of which we read in the bible, is more than a piece of legal legerdemain by which tlie alien Ninner is invested with the rights and privileges of smiship. It is an act which carries with It iu addition, communication of nature transmission of life oven the lifo of God by which we "aro made partakers of the divine natoie" aB tho Apostlo plainly declares. In the account of tho unutterable mystery of the incarnation of the Sou of God the angel said to Mary : "Tho Holy Ghost shall eoiue upon thee, and tho power of the Highest shall overshadow thee and that which it tube bom shall bo called the Son of God." This may help ns to understand what Jesus meant when he said to Nicodcmus : "Except u man bo bom of water and of the spirit he cannot ontor into tho kingdom of God." Ono therefore who is born again may be oxpected to have now affections new plans and purposes in lifo new powers of endur ance and achievement, Tho things 1m onco loved ho will now bate and tho things lie oneo hated he will now love. Old things will have passed away and nil things becoino now. Ho will no longer regard religion as offering n convenient provision for tho flesh by which ho can fulfill tho lusts thereof and yet escape tho penalty. Jesus proposes to savo ns from our sin not by tho constraint of out ward law hut that of an inward principle not by tho law of a carnal commaudmont but tho roivcr of an ondless life. In response to the prayer of penitence and faith Ho oilers to forgive our sins and ronew our souls in His own image. Josus niakos the now birth tho test of spirituality and tho supremo condition of cutranco into tho kingdom of God. Men and churches may draw tho lino somewhere els but Jesus diaws it at tho new birth. Wo may observe tho forms of worship, bow as pcnilenta at the altar of prayer, couiess our sins and receivo priestly absolution, re ceive the sacraments of the church and bo inscribed as members of tho same, but Jesus fiiya "Except a man bo born again ho cannot see the kingdom of God." He may bo a good citizen, and have enough religion to pass current among men hut if ho is without the life of God iu his soul, whatever his position iu church or state, ho canuot outer tho kingdom of God. Such truth may bo humiliating and displeasing, but it is not my word but that of tbo Sou of God. I am not responsible for the truth but for declaring it. If this truth is not to bo relied upon tho Bible is worthlcsi, if it is, then much that passes for religion is worthless. USE DANA'S SAKSAPAB1LLA, its "THE KIND THATCUEES." l'oluts.
