March % Review of the Lessons
of the Quarter.
The lessons of this quarter have
been priceless. After number of
years. seemingly of wanderngs, about
in the Old Testament reiearping what
the most of the children and adults
attending Sabbath school knew before,
it has been refreshing to have the
pure plain gospel of the Lord Jesus
set forth for consideration. Again,
the gospel of John is the choicest part
of the bible. 1t has been said that if
the other three gospels were taken out
and that of John could remain, it
would be sufficient for the christian
world to base its knowledge of the
life work of the Savior. 1t is in this
precious book that the lessons have
been for the past quarter.
First of all came the opening chap
ter which told how the Son of God
came to earth. and was the Word
made flesh which dwelt among US.
John the Baptist is next introduced.
one of the striking characters of the
bible. He came as the forerunner of
the Christ and bore testimony that He
was the Son of God The fortitude
with which John saw his power and
popularity wane, and his death. be-
cause of denounclng sin in high
places, presents strong lesson to
all.
The following lesson told of the
choosing of the first disciples by Jesus
and their testimony THAI He was the
one of whom Moses and the prophets
spoke, the redeemer of Isreal and the
world. From the cleansing of the
temple by Jesus. we learned that
there is line between the religious
and the worldly: that our bodies are
the temple of Gods spirit and must
be kept clean; that our hearts are the
special sanctuaries of this spirit, and
should not be polluted. In the follow
ing lesson came the great verse of the
bible, John 3-l6 For God so loved
the world that He gave His only be-
gotten Son. that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. There was added
the important truth that Christ came
not to condemn the world but that all
through him might be saved.
After this our attention was called
to remarkable series of talks and
miracles which open to the view the
true mission of Christ. He spoke tc
the woman at the we'll telling her anc
us, that God is a spirit and they who
worship Him must worship Him in
spirit and in truth. He explained
how His gospel was like water to the
soul, reviving it and making it bloom
into radiance fitting it TO be trans
planted to heaven. Jesus healed TIT
son of the nobleman. and the faith Of
the father brought out the lesson tina

Our New Jersey delegation to h Chicago convention did not tut much of
e. figure, nor did It's members put themselves in a position to claim any prestige
by the wy their vote as divided among the different candidates Why the
three votes for Cannon. unless the object va to secure the hnyon Cannon
votes from Illinois for Murphy for vce-Preddent? And why the two votes for
Fairbanks, except that the thirty Fairbanks votes from Indiana would be ac-
for Murphy? And why, also, the four votes tor Knox, If not for the
reasont that the sixty-four Knox delegates from Pennsylvania might vote for
Murphy for Vice President? 1t would have been better for the party in this
state for the delegates to have been united and cast III solid vote for Taft as
his nomination was a foregone conclusion. That action would have placed them
in a position to claim recognition for their State should he be elected, AS 1t
nw stands, In the event of Mr. Tnts election. New Jersey will have little
claim upon him.
