JESUS TRANSFIGURED
LESSON TEXT? Murk 9:2-x9.
GOLDEN TEXT ? And the Word was
made flosh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld hla glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father,) full
of grace and truth. John 1:14.
PRIMARY TOPIC ? Jesus God's Son.
JUNIOR TOI'IC ? With Jesua on a
Mountain Top.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC ? The Glory of Jesus.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC ? The Meaning of the Transfigura
tion.
In II Peter 1:10-18 Is given nn In
spired Interpretation of the transfig
uration by one who wus present and
knew all that transpired. When Christ
announced his death which was to
take place cm the cross, the disciples
were greatly perplexed as to how vic
tory could Issue from death. Peter,
James, and John accompanied Jesus
Into the mountain. They went there
to pray (Luke 0:28),
In order to revive their drooping
spirits and restore their confidence he
was transfigured before them. Two
men were sent from the realms above
to talk with Jesus about his approach
ing death at Jerusalem (Luke 0:31) ?
the very thing about which the disci
ples hud refused to talk (Mark 8:31
33). The transfiguration Is, therefore,
a foregleam of the coming Kingdom.
It gives t lie outline of the order and
method of the establishment of Mes
siah's Kingdom.
I. Jesus the King Glorified on the
Mountain (vv. 2, 3).
lie took the disciples "by them
selves" and was "transfigured before
them." This shows that the purpose
of the transfiguration terminated upon
the disciples and not upon Christ.
Christ's rebuke to Peter for his un
willingness to hear concerning his
death seemed for a time to estrange
the disciples from him. Hla shining
raiment was typical of that glory
which shall be manifest when Christ
comes back to earth. Ills appearance
on the mountain typifies his visible
appearance on the Mount of Olives
(Zech. 14:4, 9).
II. Peter, James, and John Repre
sent Israel In the Flesh In Connection
With the Kingdom (v. 2).
Christ Is peculiarly the King of
Israel. According to Ezeklel 37:21-27,
the Israelites are to be the central
people In Messiah's Kingdom.
III. Moses and Elijah Appeared In
Glory With Jesus (vv. 4-13).
These men In the glorified Btate are
typical of the state of the saints in
glory. Moses who was once denied
an entrance Into Palestine now ap
pears In glory. He represented the
redeemed of the Lord who shall pass
through death into the Kingdom.
Elijah represents \the redeemed who
shall pass Into the Kingdom through
translation. Some shall be living upon
the earth when the Lord comes, who
without dying shall he changed and
thus pnss into the Kingdom (I Cor.
15:50, 53; I Thess. 4:14-18).
1. Peter's proposal (vV. C, 0). So
definitely was the method of the King
dom unfolded before Peter that he
proposed to erect tabernacles, one for
Christ, one for Moses, and one for
Elijah. It Is true that the unveiling of
the majestic person of Christ some
what disconcerted Peter, yet he
grasped its central meaning and pro
posed to celebrate the advent of his
Kingdom which had been prefigured
in IMs fungible way.
2. The divine voice out of the cloud
(vv. 7, 8). Ood declared Jesus to be
his beloved Son in whom ho was well
pleased. The way to know what Is
? pleasing to God Is to study Jesus.
8. Christ's charge (vv. 9-13). He
charged them thnt they should tell no
man concerning the things which they
had seen until he had risen from the
dead.
IV. The Purpose of the Establish
ment of the Kingdom Demonstrated
vvv. 11-29).
When they descended from the
Mount of Transfiguration they wit
nessed a grent multitude In a state
of perplexity. The Immediate cause
of this state wns the grievous condl*
tion of a young man possessed with a
demon (v. 18), whose father had np
pealed to the disciples to cast out the
demon, but they were unable to do so.
When they brought him unto Jesus,
the foul spirit wns rebuked nnd came
forth. This young man's state Is rep
resentative of the nations who are
grievously oppressed by the devil.
?Just as this young man was grievous
ly oppressed, enuslng him to enst him
self Into the flro nnd Into the waters,
so the nations even today in their
grent perplexity are doing the things
which will result In their own destruc
tion. The devil will be peculiarly ac
tive In the oppression of men anil na
tions In the last. days.
Confftta Chrial
There cannot be a secret Christian.
Grace Is like ointment hid In the
hand; It betrnyeth Itself. If you truly
feel the sweetness of the cross of
Christ, you will he constrained to con
fess Christ before men. ? Robert Mc
Cheyne.

'Rush' Has Doomed
Travel by Water
Lovers of leisurely travel cannot
rend without a sigh of the evil days
upon which the stoaniboat has fallen,
the steamboat whose tralllc was for
so long Indispensable to the pros
perity of the country's Inland water
ways. It Is only a little while since
4 newspaper paragraph recorded the
9nanclal distress of the Hudson River
night line, and now we read that tho
jay line, which has made the loveli
ness of the Hudson and of the IUp
Van Winkle country familiar to gen
erations of tourists, is in tho same
plight ? sunk In debt. That, too, Is
the story of the famous Lake Cham
plain line which for 10(5 years has
been carrying passengers and freight
between Tlconderoga and Burlington.
The automobile has left these once
profitable enterprises with only the
bare bones of traffic. Our age de
mands the service of speed, and the
steamboat which 00 years ago. sur
passed our grandslres' childhood
dreams of all that was Imaginable
In rapid and luxurious travel, Is now
looked upon as a conveyance fit only
'or old fogies and slowpokes.
Yet nothing In the rocket-flight of
tho automobile can make up to some
of us for the comparatively deliber
ate journeying by steamboat, for the.
slow unfolding of the landscape from
her deck as she moves with hardly
perceptible sound or motion, calmly,
restfully, from one landing-place to
another. It is a rare automobile trip
that can afford u^ those vistas and
reaches that open to us as we thread
the Highlands of the Hudson in a
steamboat; we cannot in a car get
l close view of the Isles in Lake
George's "rystal waters or take in
:hat panoramic sweep of far-off,
haze-shroxuled summits of the Adl
rondacks and the Green mountains
that bless the sight of the traveler
3Q a Lake Champlain steamer.
The Sound lines of steamers be
tween Boston and New York survive
ind there are Indications that they
prosper, a reminder of tho spacious
Jays long ago when every evening a
proud procession of rival Sound boats
mrvfed round the Battery in New
i'ork, Boston bound, gay with bunt
ing from stem to stern, filling the
hearts of children on East river fer
ryboats with inexpressible longing
Just once to make that splendid voy
age to the mysterious East, the scene
of Bunker Hill and the home of L'aui
Itevere. One of these days, we hope,
the steamboat will come back into
its. own and plow our lakes and riv
ers and bays and sounds with all the
dividend-earning glory of the en
chanted past. ? Boston Transcript.
