CARVER'S LECTURES
 ON SACRED HISTORY
Brief Review of Entire Course Which Was Given at the Baptist
 Encampment

Pelham Heights, June 26.-(Special) During the lectures delivered by Dr. O. w. Carver here the following is q pains taking review of the entire course The main course running through the three weeks of the school was on "rhe Life and Teachings of Jesus" A briefcr course of five lectures dealt with the re- ligious nature of mankind and the forms of religion in which this Fundamental re- ligiousness gives expression. The unique character of Christianity was shown and the obligation of Christians emphasized to meet the need of all the race with this one supreme religion of redemption. Dr. Carver also gave one lecture on the pub lie reading of the Scriptures and hymns, urging the importance of ministers doing this properly and indicating how this is to be attained
 In the course on "The Life and Teach ings of Jesus" the lecturer covered in outline the entire work of the Master during the incarnation, dividing 1t up into periods and topics and seeking to make the students see the scenes and feel the force of the wonderful words and works of the Lord.
 It WeiS ShoWh III Sl oi loW tItiG was a providential preparation for the incar- nation so that the Savior came lin the fullness of tlme' The manner of his coming was shown from the story of the gipsies up to the time of his baptism. Next 1t was shown how Jesus took up his ministry in baptism and was tested in the temptations where he fixed the principles on which he would seek to accomplish the purposes of his incarnation.
 How Jesus gained following and then brought in great revival in Galilee was followed by discussion of the organiza- tion by which Jesus met the demands of his success and of the opposition to him which was organized and conducted from Jerusalem. The outline of the ideals of the kingdom of heaven to be realized on earth was found in the Sermon on the Mount.
 The nature and function of the miracles of Jesus was clearly set forth. and sug- gestions were made as to how to interpret the wonderful parables of the Great Teacher. The issues between Jesus and the Jews were set forth leading up to the refusal of Jesus to be a bread king, with a temporal power and sway. Jesus then during the last year of his ministry gave himself largely to training the 12 apostles to understand his kingdom and promote his work in the whole world. Jesus was now seen facing his enemies. the Phari- sees. .p Jerusalem, on their own ground; but he was continuing to do works of love and mercy and give words of grace and truth to the end. At last he let's Jerusa- lem have it's way with him. The issue Is brought to a close in the Holy City. Jesus takes pains to gvip his friends in a deathless love and firm faith and then passes into the eclipse of the darkness of the cross and the tomb.
 Thence he comes forth "alive forever more'' and projects his worldwide and age-long work through his apostles and servants who must carry their Savior to all men. Thus the lectures came to the ascension, with it's look forward to the consummation of the work of the Savior in "a new heaven and a new earth. wherein dwelleth righteousness" in the midst of which he shall reign as "King of kings and Lord of lords"
