.LOSES HEART TO PRINCE
Princess Vlora Is Granddaughter of Eu-
fleno Kelly, Millionaire New York
Banker Her First Husband
Was Frank Jay Qould.
New York. Princess Vlorn, former
ly Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould and more
recently Mrs. Ralph Thomas, mny bo
the first Atnerlcun to be addressed 11a
"your mnjesty."
If she attaliiH Uie throno of Albnnln,
ns Gcema possible, slio blda fnlr to
ccllpso socially Princess AnastoBta of
Greece, formerly Mrs. Wllllum B.
Leeds, who, through her mnrrliigo to
Prince Christopher of Greece, tins
climbed the roynl Inddcr higher thuu
nny other American woman,
i Princess Vloru ,1s In New York "on
itislnesH," whllo her roynl consort,
Prince Vlorn, Is at their houso In Purls
inrrniiglng plnus to ascend the throno
of his grandfather.
Tho father of Vlorn, Ferld Pasha, Is
prime minister to Abdul Ilamld, and
Is working quietly with Turklbh lend
ers. She Prefers Paris.
"What will you do In Albania, where
most of tho men are polygamlsts and
iddlcted to bloody feuds?" I asked her
in her upartmuut In tho Hotel Lenorlc.
"I don't know," she said, smiling,
"perhaps remain most of tho time In
my Paris homo with my two children
Helen, who's nineteen, and Dorothy,
who's seventeen who uro now In
6chool In Switzerland."
The princess was Helen Murgarct
Kelly, granddaughter of tho million
aire New York banker, ISugeno Kelly.
She was married at eighteen to Frank
Jay Gould and after divorcing him
married Itnlph Thomas, sou of tho
nugnr king. After n brief married life,
be died suddenly In 1014, leaving her
several millions.
During the war she sailed for Pnrls,
where she becamo n war nurse. While
recuperating In Switzerland, sho told
me, sho met Prlnco Vlora, who wns
brooding over tho fnte of Albnnln and
meditating schemes for Its restoration.
Loses Her Heart
"Ho told mo sad stories of Albania,"
ho continued, "of Its wild scenery and
tho pirturesqucncss of Its people. Ho
was n delightful chap and I confess
thnt I lost my heart to him. Wo wero
married quietly.
"Whether tho prlnco will become
king of Albania Is not certain. It Is
well known In diplomatic circles that
tho problem of (hiding n satisfactory
ruler Is a hard one. The prlnco Is tho
natural "ruler and Is mapping out his
course In Paris and London uow.

"Albania Is tho roughest country In
the Rnlknns, a country of wild moun
tains, entirely without railroads. Tho
only towns are situated on tho coast
of thu Adriatic. The cntlro population
Is less than 1,000,000.
"Tho people consist mainly of fierce
mountaineers, walking arsenals of
rltles nnd knives. They aro Moham
medans In religion nnd confirmed

Tho princess explained thnt shortly

Wled, with German and Austrian back

leglanco of tho mountulnecrs, hecauso

I would prefer to spend most of my

Experts from Grent Ilrltnln will

Christianity Transforming the Social
Order,
Again wo say not "Making the So
cial Order Christian," If the commltteo
please. At least these texts selected
by the committee do not so teach, for
they have no bearing upon the ques
tion. Why two texts so widely sepa
rated in meaning should be selected
to go together under the subject
named is incomprehensible. Tho
toucher should therefore Ignore tho
subject chosen and endeavor to bring
out the meaning of the texts.
I. Jesus in the Synagogue at Naza
reth (Luke 4:10-21).
1. His custom wns to go to the
house of God (v. 10). He now hud
come, buck to the town of his boyhood
days and entered tho place of worship
us wns His custom.
2: Jesus rending from tlie Scrip
tures (vv. 1S-1'J). Ho opened tlie book,
nt the slxty-llrst chapter of Isaiah nnd;
rend the Scripture pussngo which set
forth Ills entire mission.
(1) Character of Ills mission (vv.
IS, 10). (u ) Preach the gospel to tho
poor. God has peculiar regard for the
poor, and the glory of the gospel is
tliut It conies to tlie help of the very
ones most In need. It puts a ladder,
nt tlie feet of a man and enables him
to climb ns high us his ability will per
mit It In), (b) Heal the broken
henrted. How many nre tlie broken
hearted I (c) Preach deliverance to
the captives. Those who nre in enp-i
tivity to sin nnd Satun. Christ can nnd
will deliver (John 8:31-30). (d) Re
covering of sight to the blind. Christ
not only can open the physical eye
but the eyes of the spirit as well.
(e) Set nt liberty them that nro
bruised. Satan lias been most merci
lessly bruising men, but the Mighty
One lias come who can set thorn free.
(f) Preach the acceptable yiar of tho
Lord. Tills was the Year of Jublleo
which looked forward to the glorious
millennial age (Lev. 2.-.:8-13, 00-04).
(2) His endowment (v. IS). Tho Holy
Spirit came upon Christ for the ex
press purpose of fitting Him for His
divine mission. Because of this- en
duement Ho cannot fall in His glo
rious work.
(3) Ills testimony (vv. 20. 21). Hav
ing completed the rending, He declared
that the Scripture hud fulfillment theu
uud there In himself. This wns n crit
ical hour for the people. May It bo
just ns critical for the members of
every class where this lesson Is stud
ied! May there not be rejection llko
thnt which followed His testimony at
Nazareth 1
II. The Judgment of the Nations
(Matt. 20:34-40).
The biblical unit here Is verses 31
40. One cannot Intelligently teach tho
verses selected without their setting;
so. it would be better to take a survey,
of the whole.
This Judgment should bo cnrefully
distinguished from what is popularly
cnllcd "General Judgment." The Blblo
speaks of different Judgments, differ
ing in respect to the subjects, tho
place, the time, and tho results of. the
judgment. Note the following partic
ulars: 1. Tho Judge (v. 31). Tho Son oC
Man In glory.
2. The time (v. 31). It Is when tho
Lord -shnll come in His glory nccom
punlcd by Ills glorious retinue of an
gels. 3. Tho plnce (v. 81). It will bo on
tho throne of Ills glory. Tills throno
will be most surely in the land of Is
rael. The prophecy of Joel, third
chnpter, nud Zechariah 14 :l-5 mako it
to be In or near Jerusalem.
4. The people Judged (vv 32-40).
These people will be the living nations
upon tho earth after tho church bus'
been translated (I Thess. 4: 10, 17).
These nations nro the ones to whom
tho gospel of tho kingdom shnll bo
preached Just prior to the coming of
tho Lord (see Matt. 24:14). Tho
preachers of this gospel will bo Jows
(Rev. 7; Rom. 11).
5. Tho Issue of the judgment (v. 40;
cf. 34-41). Tho sheep enter upon tho
Inheritance of a prepared kingdom
(v. 34). Tho goats go Into nn everlast
ing flro prepared for tho devil and hl9
angels. Their destiny Is fixed (v. 40).
Hops and Pray.
Let us hope and pray .that those who
tench nnd those who worship In tha
temples of God mny never bo out of
touch with tho saints above or tho
sinners below. When wo get out of
touch with humanity, wo nro never in
