 Home" said Dr. Vance, Ifs the best place in the world. It is the mecca to which the feet of men are ever turning" -Dr. Vance drew a beautiful picture of home, the true home that fills the heart and life; the ideal home. He spoke of home as being Christ's picture of Heaven"
 pr. Vance said he would speak of the four essentials required to make home: 1st. ''The House":- house alone can never be home, but 1t is the frs. essential, and he advised all to have at least little nest" to which they could give the endearing title of home. And, "Peopie''-furniture and adorn- ments cannot make a home, but people, and not animals, are required to make 1t what it is intended to be.
 3rd. ''Love'-''a lack of love turna home into helr'-Dr. Vance said he be- lieved in the old fashioned ieda of mar rylng for love and love alone.
 9th. Religion God is the best friend to the home" he said, "and God should be honored there" Heaven Is the home land" said nr Vance. "and is the white city of our hope"

SERMONS OF DIR. VANCE
HE SPOKE THREE TIMES YES
 TERDAY.
Distinguished New Jersey Minister at Central Church Morning and Evening and at Theatre
 in Afternoon.

pr. James I. Vance of New Jersey preached two strong sermons at the Gen. tral Presbyterian Church, yesterday and sermon to men at the Montgomery Theatre in the afternoon
 The morning sermon was preached to congregation that filled both the main auditorium and the lecture room of the church. The music, by the choir, was especially prepared for the occasion and aded greatly to the inspiration of the service.
 pr. Vance. read for the lesson the 6th Chapter of Second Corinthians and took for his text the seventeenth and eigh- teenth verses of that chapter. "I will receive you and will be a father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daugh- ters, saith the Lord almighty"
 pr. Vance. took for his theme the "Fatherhood of God"
 The Fatherhood of God" he said "is the greatest truth of religion and 1t ln- cludes all other truths. It Is the iightest the divinest vision a man can have of God. and after having called God Father there is nothing, higher, holier. dearer or diviner remaining to be said of Him"
 God has revealed His Fatherhood to us, In His word and through His son. and pr. Vance quoted many passages of Scripture, showing this to be true.
 He said the Fatherhood of God was not a fancy sketch or pen picture, pro- duced by romantic, pious art. but pho tograph handed down by God himself and the likeness is knasvn to be true.
 pr. Vance divided his sermon under four distinct heads:
 First-"The Fatherhood of God and the human race." He said the question arises ''Is God the Father of all or a part?" and the answer in all its breadth and its depth can be found in the words of the Saviour: God 60 loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that wFiosoever belleSeth on Him. should not perish, but have ever lasting life"
 second-"The Fatherhood of God and sin" Sin said Dr. Vance "Is the rejection of the Fatherhood of God Sin does not alter or change God, but changes the sinner It begRars. brutal- izes. dishgures and estranges Him"
 If God be such Father some one asks" he said, why does he allow me

behalf of Adam and Eve must Say that in most instances they were ready with more or less satisfactory answers. but there were times when they had to frank ly confess themselves floored. Upon one of those occasions I happened to he pre- sent. It was at dinner, and as we all sat about the table 1t was clearly evi- dent because of the lads unusual silence that Cain had some matter of extraordi- nary weight upon his mind. Ordinarily the boys was over inclined to make him. self conspicuous In the presence of com pany, but this time he was for long while as still as a mouse. Finally he buurted out:

 Dr. Vance said the question is easily home when made compulsory, it ceases not a-iailer. but father. Home is not
 God Is not a policeman, but father; answered. tNN be home then, and becomes prison. v Hhird-"The Fatherhood of God and Calvary" "The message of Christ" said Dr. Vance might be summed up in these words God Is your Father.
 Christ never spoke of God as Creator, Ruler or Judge, but always as Father and to accept Jesus is to find God, the Father.
 Fourth-''The Fatherbood of God and the redeemed life. The Fatherhood of God transfigures the decrees.P said Dr. Vance, but Gods etern@l decrees are just His everlasting plans and purposes for his children.
 God Is not lifting obligations for us' but" said pr. Vance. He Is making the future safe for us."
 A beautiful thought he expressed in this connection was that when one has found the fatherhood of God, it Is not long until he finds the brotherhood of man.
 "Chirst did not say. that love to man was the first and great Commandment, but love to God, and love to man Is like unto it." said pr. Vance.
 A last thought was ''the fatherhood of God and human struggle: the fatherhood of god and the brotherhood of man; and finally the fatherhood of God and eterni- ty.
 The Afternoon Service.
 Dr. Vance preached to a large audience of men at the Theatre yesterday after noon under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian Association.
 His subject was Humanity of Christ" H. dwelt on the fact that Christ always spoke of Himself as the Son of Man. and that in the New Testament there are eighty instances recorded where fIe is called the "Son of man." and in seven ty-three of these instances He Is quoted as so describing Himself.

Tercinand,s Excnse.

put or the wet ahead Of everybody else.' Ter6inand's Excuse.
 The chief characteristic of Columbus as remember him, was his absolute can dor. Of course, l rarely saw anything of him in the company of others, but not ed that whenever I asked him a uues- ton, no matter of how intimate a na- ture, always received on the instant a reply utterly without reserve.
 Moreover, his answers revealed a spirit of confidence in myself which was dis tinctly gratifying, and in saying this I feel that history itself will bear me out for in reading the pages of the historians l do not find recorded therein any of the frank explanations of the things that oc- cured fin his career which he gave to me. Let & single incident sufflce to indi- cate my meaning.
 I once spoke to Columbus of the tre- mendous generosity of Ferdinand and Is- abella, who, if may compare them to modern instance by the intimation of a likeness of effort. were the Andrew Carnegies of theIr time.
 Yes" said Columbus. after moment s reflection. they were generous. Ferdi- nand was generous. Isabella was gener- oTS. but the combination was cautious. It required unanimous vote of the reigning sovereigns to place the coffers of Spain at my disposal. and it was al- ways difficult to get the necessary quo- rum present..
 According to her means Isabella refus- ed me nothing. I could always count on ten doubloons whenever she knew that needed them. And as for Ferdinand. in- divdually he refused to back me finan- cialy only once, I remember it as If 1t were yesterday. I had gone to him to ask for half a milHin for the purpose of fitting out an expedition to look into the Panama canal. The King, even though he doubted the existence of anything of the sort, was more than willing to be helpful.
 But. my dear Columbus" said he, You have come at the wrong time. You seem to forget that this Is the middle of March
 No" said I. I haven't forgotten that only fail to see the application. Who bewares the Ides of March these days?"
 "'No one,' said Ferdinand, loftily But beware the Ides of April. my boy. and no man shall borrow a solferino denarius from me until Isabella's Easter bonnet bill Is paid.

Gains Ingenuity vs. Abel's 1n-
 genuousness.


 In their very young days Abers admira- ton for his brother amounted almost to a passion, as a result of which he was frequently taken great advantage of by his more selfish companion. This was constantly instanced by Gains ingenui- ty in getting up extraordinary games and AbeIs meek compliance always with Gains habit of giving him the hard end of their diversions.
 When they played horse 1t was always Cain who did the driving. and Abel was only too happy to be the horse. which Cain explained was ~the best part of the game" When it occurred to Cain that there would be lots of fun in driving a wildcat instead of his brother. Abel fell readily into the suggestion that. the lat ter should harness the wildcat while he made the wagon.
 If a particularly luscious piece of fruit at the top of a tree were desired. Cain was unselfish enough to let his brother start up the tree ahead of him and, as he put it, have the first chance at 1t. Adam frequently spoke of this to me and frankly confessed that he did not know what to do about it.
 If I interfere with Gains duplicity." said he. T spoil poor little AberS inno- cent amusement"
 The climax was reached on Saturday afternoon, when a fearful wall from without fell upon Eyes ears. Rushing to the door she perceived Abel founder ing about in the duck pond, with Cain standing on the bank ana clapping his hands with glee. Her first act, of course, was to drag the sputtering. saturated Abel out of the water. and then, turning to Cain, she demanded to know what had happened.
 We were playing ship, NC." Cain ex- plainsd.

 But how did he happen to fall into the pond7" demanded Eve.
 "F{e didn't fall in, Ma." said Cain. 'T just launched him."
