SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC?The s | ?lory of Jesus Christ. j ; I While It Is true that in this lesson c the disciples are witnesses of Christ's glory, the full truth is that the manl- 1 testation of Christ in glory was to give 1 to the discouraged disciples a fore- < gleam of the Messianic Kingdom. The ? hopes of the disciples were crushed When Christ announced his death on t the cross. They were unable to see ( how victory could issue from death. f j: Jesus took with him Peter, James, itnd John, and went into the mountain to pray; His chief aim in retirement i1 was to gat the disciples apart into a state of receptivity so that he might fibftw fhpm fhp rnothnd nf the Kincdom. ( Before going to the mountain he declared that there were some standing hi his presence who would not taste of death till they should see the Son ? of Man coming in his Kingdom (Luke % 9:27; Matt 16:28). That their drooping spirits might be revived and their confidence restored, he is transfigured before them. Two men from the upper world are sent to converse with him about his approaching dfcath in Jerusalem (v. 31)?the very thing about which the disciples refused to talk. Then, too, God's own voice was heard in words of approval of Christ's course, directing them to hear the Master. Surely they cannot doubt his ability now to carry into execution his kingdom plans. The purpose, then, of le transfiguration is to give the disciples ft foregleam of the coming Kingdom, to enable them to see the Kingdom in embryo. That this is true is not only s shdwn by the context and circumstances, but by the inspired interpretation of one who was with him and knew f aa that happened. Peter said, "For | ^ We did not follow cunningly devised ( fables when we made known unto yon f |j the power and coming of our Lord | Jesus Christ, but we were eye witness- * ea of his majesty, foi; he received of 0od the Father, honor and glory when t 3 there came such a voice to him from i the excellent glory. This is my belov- t ed Son in whom I am well pleased: f and this voice we ourselves hear a come j int of heaven, when we were with him i IS;the holy mount. And we have the | word oi" prophecy made more sure; j( ? whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, js unto a lamp shining in a aark place, s until the day dawn, and the day-star c arise in your hearts (2 Peter 1:16-19 - V.). To those who believe in the inspiration of the Bible these words final. Let us therefore note the outstanding features of the Kingdom | as displayed in the transfiguration. S >! Jesus Christ the Glorified King -^n Mount Zion (v. 29). fhft rforified Kins on this Mount . was intended to symbolize the Messianic Kingdom when Christ returns to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem e- (Zeeh. 14:4-17). This is still in the future, and will be literally fulfilled. 11. The Glorified Saints With Christ (w. 30, 31). - i' Moses, who was once denied an entrance into Palestine, appears now in glory, representing the redeemed of : the Lord who will pass through death - X'ito the Kingdom. Many thousands of tl?e redeemed have fallen asleep and at 'the coming of the Lord shall be awakP.eaed to pass into the Kingdom. ( 2. Elijah, now glorified, represents the redeemed who shall pass into the i Kingdom through translation. Many shall be living upon the earth when the Lord shall come, and shall without dy- J ^ ing be changed and thus pass into the Kingdom (1 Cor. 15:50-53; 1 Thess. 4 f 14-318). 8. They talk of the very thing which the discitfles refused to believe, name6 j$;Mhe death of Christ. JH. Israel, in the Flesh, in Connec- ] tlon With the Kingdom, Represented ' by.\peter, James and John (v. 28). Israel shall be called from their hiding place among all nations of the earth and shall be gathered to Jesus Christ ^ the King, as the central people in the m Kingdom (Ez. 37:21-27). 1. Peter proposes to build three tab4 ernacles (v. 33). The Feast of Taber- . nacles looked forward to the glorious reign of Christ. Peter caught a glimpse of the significance of the transfiguration. His * proposition showed ; that he thought of the Feast of Taber- J . nades, and therefore of the Millenium. < 2. The divine voice (v. 35). At this : i time God himself uttered his words, ask "uring them that this one in glory was ^-feis son Jesus Christ. IV. The Multitude at the Foot of the v Mountain (vv. 37-43). This is representative of the nations which shall be brought into the Kingdom which shall be established over Isael (see Isaiah 11:10-12). The peor.l* hpre were grievously oppressed by & the devil. There are times when the 1 devil is especially active in his oppression of men. About the time of J ^{Jfcrist's first coming he did his best to harass men. Just before Christ's coming again he will be especially active, for he knows that his time ia short " I IK BUDGET SYSTEM WORKS t WELL IN SOUTH CAROLINA < t The Detroit Bureau of Governmen- * iai Research has just filed its report t with Governor Cooper of the investigation made in October of the budget J system which was introduced in South s Carolina upon the recommendation of < Governor Cooper at the beginning of 1 his administration. Investigators i vere very complimentary of the prog- '< -ess made under the budget system. 1 Several important recommenda- I iions were made. One of these was 'or greater authority for the governor * I ^ >ver the administrative departments, | carrying a consolidation of depart* ( rvents to afford administrative responsibility. A standard scale of sal- j iries for state offkuals is also urged. . The extension of the budget system ^ ;o as to include county budgets in the >lan is recommended. This would . i lecessitate a uniform system of accounting and extension of the duties md authority of the comptroller gen- 1 cral. The need for an annual ad inerim appropriation bill to cover the expenses of the state government Tom the beginning^ of the year to the late of the ratification of the approbation bill is pointed out. People Want Economy. with regard to the financial system >f the state, the report says that the people of South Carolina appear to be villing to pay the expenses of governnent, if they can be assured that the expenditures are wisely and economically made. "This end, it is fully beieved by this bureau," says the report, 'can be realized more nearly through :he scientific budget procedure recenty inaugurated than in any other manler of public administration. However, it is necessary to add a word of caution?the best results can be obained only when the state has amended some of its laws to provide for a greater control over the administra:ive departments by the chief execu:iye of the state.- A maximum of results requires a consolidation of departments to afford administrative responsibility.'' Discontinue Contingencies*" The report recommends that the governor's office should be provided vith an appropriation for "contingencies" and the similar appropriation or any other office, board, institution, 'tc., be discontinued. In explaining this recommendation, he report says that "if sufficient care s exercised in preparing departmenal requests, the need for a 'slush' und. as contingencies, will prove un- I = iecessary.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was sup- i posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Theory is a vine from which facts :hat a transfer permit may be made Dn the other hand, the contingenl ,'und of the governor's office should be imple to meet any but a great or ex;raordinary demand for state funds.'' rhe report goes on to say that the Lvailability of a contingent fund should be restricted to the chief exe:utive, and that the governor's con:ingent fund should be adequate, as t is recognized that conditions may irise during the months the legislaic ir> coccinri and "onlv the Li J C lO 11VL iJil ? v governor can act."
