IueSe IeupCaClOnS, UuTee III HuIIueI,
had for their purpose. l.. To over
throw His divine heritage bv which
he knew Himself to be the Son OF
God. Jesus meets this temptation by
maintaining His dependence on the
viii and purposes of GOD the Father.
2. To lesson Jesus power by pre-
snming on divine protection, and
thus fail OF accomplish his mission in
the world. 3. The Jewish idea OF
Messiah was that of a conquerer.
The immediate triumph OF His
Kingdom presented itself to the
Master as a possibility, but this was
not Gods method. All these temp
tations were successfully overcome
and Jesus followed the methods of
divine purpose in all His work.
Rev. G. W. Gelyin preached on
The Secret of Jesus power"
Prof. Geo. a. Warield read an able
paper OH ga Comprehension of the
Spirit and Scope Of His commission
and the application CT the same TO
present day conditions" This was
followed by a paper by Rev. III. S.
Wilkinson, on THE Miracles Of
Jesus and the Apostles, How
Wrought, Why Wrought" The nora
ing session was closed by an address
by Rev. A. W. Thurston, 90 1.-The
Personal influence of Jesus, and
the Personality Of the Divine Man.
Wednesday afternoon Prof. j. l..
Seaton, PHI. II. opened the program
of the association by reading a most
able paper on The Function and
Significance of the Incarnation in
the Christian Scheme The writer
stated that the incarnation vas
fundamental as the supreme and
act of divine love, also divine mani
festaoion, of the ''human life of
God.n
Rev. A. p. James presented 1.-The
TRANSFORMATIONS in a forceful man
ner.
THE BETRAYAL vas we'll discussed
by Rev. Paul McBeth. Most forci-
BILE was the guilt and power of sin
depicted and we'll illustrated by
reference to Shakespeare's great
tragedy bearing the same name as
the speaker.
Rev. r. N. Kratz used the black
board in an effective manner to show
the harmony of the four gospel writ
ers in their statements concerning
the last supper DR.. Samuel Weir,
in a clear, philosophical style pre-
sented ''The Death of Christ In the
Redemptive Scheme The New
Testament writers accommodated
themselves to the language of their
day, which included the legal and
sac1ificial ideas, hence, much is said
as to Christ fulfilling law and being
a sacrifice. But the life of the Mas
ter was truly redemptive, and en-
tered into Gods great purposes. and
today, when life is the characteristic
idea, the life OF Jesus should receive
due emphasis.
1.-THE Appearance of Jesus after
R~esulrection'' was historically pre-
sented by Rev. Q L. tillet rown.
Attempts have been made 70 prove
these appearances to have been
subjective, mere Authorizations, but
a spector could not eat, and converse
with former friends, being embraced
of them; hence, We can only con-
clude that these records are based on
real and actual occurrences.
Rev. G. Boyd Jones read a very
analytical paper on "The Assem-
sion,'' while the Descent of the
Promised holy spirit'' was forcibly
presented by Rev. j. E. Lombard.
",Ihe Priesthood and Reign OF
Jesus Christ,-The King Immortal,
Eternal, lnvisi ole't was considered
in a thoughtful paper by Rev. G. Z.
wilcox, and Rev. G. t. Notson gave
IA talk on the necessity OF preach
ing on "The Judgment of the Quick
and Dead.H
Rev. James Crowther closed the
program by showing. the necessity
OF "Preaching These Doctrines as
the ;'Powder and Ball Of OItho-
doxy." Mr.. CroMlher is a folceful
speaker, and puts heart aud life
into his uttelances.
In the evening a large audience
heard DR.. Thomas Nicholson present
in a ~forceful sermon the "Import-
ance of Man IN Gods Sight," in
which the man was shown to be
superior to all other created objects,
in that he is master OF all, and that
which traduces, lowers, and debases
humanity, should be disallowed;
while much interest and effort
should be taken In that which ele-
Yates and uplifts the race.
The ministers returned to their
homes today much protitted by
| their late session.
