PETER SEES CHRIST’S GLORY LESSON TEXT—Matthew 17:1-9, 14-18. GOLDEN TEXT—We beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father. —John 1:14. Service in the name of Christ can be nothing but an empty formality, and a disappointing experience of one’s inability really to help anyone, unless it is backed by a vision of the Saviour in all His glory. To Peter, whose life we are studying, there came such an experience as he went with the Lord to the Mount of Transfiguration. We cannot duplicate that day of days in his life in any physical sense, but we may, yes we must, withdraw to that quiet place where we may spiritually see Him whose we are and whom we serve as our tremscendent Lord. I. A Vision of Glory (w. 1-9). 1. A mountain-top experience (w. 1-3). Too much of the daily life and walk of Christians is in the valley. We need now and then to come up to the high places where we may be spiritually renewed. Jesus is ready to take us as He did the three dis ciples, “up into a high mountain apart.’’ We may not be able to move our bodies, but our spirits may soar to sublime heights with Him. There He will reveal Him self in all His glory. 2. A mistaken attitude (v. 4). Whether Peter was confused by the remarkable experience, or if it was but another expression of his unfortunate tendency to talk when he should be quiet, we do not know. But he is a representative of those who miss the supreme blessing of such a priceless moment by trying to tell God what should be done. Had Peter’s suggestion been ac cepted by our Lord there would nev er have been any redemption for the human race. Sin and sorrow would have reigned supreme in the earth, while he and his brethren enjoyed a sea .on of fellowship with Moses and Elias and their Lord. 3. A divine testimony (w. 5-7). God spoke and scattered the con fusion of men’s thinking by declar ing the deity of Jesus, “This is my beloved Son,” and His supremacy, “Hear ye him.” We live in days of theological and philosophical confu sion. We struggle in vain to resolve the moral chaos which has resulted from erroneous teaching by any arguments or by the devices of men. Let us appeal to the Word of God. It is plain, powerful, “sharper than a two-edged sword.” 4. A glorious result (w. 8, 9). “They saw no man save Jesus only.” II. A Call to Service (w. 14-18). Service should never precede vision. Vision is given as a prep aration for service. 1. A needy soul (w. 14, 15). We live in a world of such des perate need that even the confirmed “all’s well with the world” optimists are beginning to see that their rose- colored glasses cannot make them oblivious to its sin and sorrow. The boy was sick; his father was in despair; and these two things just about sum up the need of most of humanity. 2. Impotent Christian workers (w. 16, 17). The man brought his son to the place where he had a right to ex pect help—to the followers of Christ. But he found them without faith to help him. Little wonder then that those around them were still in per verse unbelief. We who profess to follow Christ, and especially those of us who say that we are His serv ants, should be ashamed of our im potent gestures toward our needy fellow men. There i* power with God, power in prayer, power in de voted and faithful service to Christ. Let us claim itt 3. The omnipotent Saviour (v. 18). Jesus spoke, and the demon de parted. The absolute supremacy of our Lord appears not only on the mount of glory, but shines even more brightly in the valley of need. Words do not suffice to describe Him, and yet we must by both word and life proclaim Him to the world as its living Lord and Saviour. 4. A glorious result (v. 18). “The child was cured from that very hour.” Here is no partial solution, no “hope to help you” effort to meet man’s need. Jesus met the boy’s full need and at that very hour. Just so we may tell the sinner that he may come to the Saviour with the full assurance that his sin will be put away, and that by faith he will become a child of God. Seventy Years’ Capacity Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because ye have not heard my words, behold, Z will send and take all the families of the North, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadnez zar the king of Babylon, my serv ant, and will bring them against this land . . . Moreover, I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness . . . and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.—Jere miah 25: 8-11. i Nature Aided In Settlement Of America Earliest Migrants Drove Towards Coast or Followed Interior Valleys Prepared by National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.—WNU Service.. Like most major discoveries, the finding of America by its first settlers took place in easy stages. Shortly after the re treat of the last great ice sheet, some venturesome Asiatic wan derer, a prehistoric Columbus of name unknown, crossed the narrow strip of sea be tween East Cape, Siberia, and Alaska. The crossing at that time could have been made on the ice, but it might also have been accomplished in skin boats or canoes, a feat not infrequently performed by Eskimos of to day. The Americas were not populated by descendants of these first discov erers. It is likely that through many centuries Asiatic people, re sponding to population pressure from the south and west, found this natural route into the American con tinent, just as successive streams of European immigration later pene trated inland from the Atlantic sea board. 9 Archeological evidence indicates that most of these migrants did not linger long in the far north but pushed southward along the coasts in their canoes, or followed the in terior valleys. “ So completely did they establish themselves that, when the Euro peans arrived, the two continents, and practically all of the adjacent islands as well, were occupied from the Arctic coast to the extremity of Teirra del Fuego. Nature Aids Indians. From the fur-clad Eskimo of the frozen Arctic coast, living in his in genious snow house, to the naked savage of the steaming tropical jun gle of the Amazon basin, with his equally suitable palm - thatched home, the descendants of these first American immigrants demonstrated their adaptability in countless ways. Thus the wandering bands of primitive Shoshoni, living in the parched deserts of the Great Basin, found food in the sparse and spiny plants of the region. They knew the location of the scattered springs and how to capture edible grasshoppers and fly larvae from the lakes. Among these simple bands, the only recognizable social unit was the family group. While these and other primitive groups were wresting a bare exist ence, the great civilization of the Maya developed and flourished for 1,500 years on the mountainous high lands of Guatemala, the tropical lowlands of the Motagua river, and among the thorny scrub of Yucatan. The equally great Inca culture of ancient Peru arose on the arid des ert of the Pacific coast and in the bare highlands of the Andes. The Aztecs, shortly before the coming of the Spaniards, had suc ceeded in building up a mighty mili tary nation in the temperate Valley of Mexico. Wherever the early white explor ers went, they found diversity in cul ture, adaptability to environment. This variation is illustrated most strikingly by languages. North of Mexico alone, at the time of the con quest, there were more than 50 un related linguistic stocks, and 700 dis tinct dialects. These dialects dif fered from one another as English differs from German or French, and the linguistic stocks have nothing in common in vocabulary or grammat ical structure. It is evident, therefore, that numerous peoples of different origin had been isolated for long periods. Since phonetic writing was never developed in the New world, there was no means of stabilizing and holding together ^language for any considerable time. Vocabularies Are Complete. All these native American lan guages were capable of expressing Chester Yellotchoir, Navajo ii dian youth, is typical of today’s Arisona Indian. In the face of generations of pressure to aban don his India ns hip the Endian is coming back. thought and subtle shades of mean ing. Their vocabularies were as complete as the experience of the speakers permitted, and the gram matical structure intricate and sys tematic. The principal linguistic stocks north of Mexico are the Eskimauan, which includes the entire Arctic coast from Alaska to Greenland; Athapascan, which includes Alaska and most of the interior of Canada west of Hudson bay, and reappears in Arizona, New Mexico, and west ern Texas; Algonquin, which stretches across southern Canada from the Rocky mountains to the Atlantic, thrusting south of the Great Lakes to Tennessee; the Iro- quoian, which includes the valley of the St. Lawrence river and the re gions around Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, south to northern Georgia. The Shoshonean stock includes the Grest Basin region and northern Texas; the Siouan takes in most of the Great Plains and parts of the Carolines and Virginia. The Mudkhogean stock covers most of the states of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. The varieties in physical type among the Indians were not so great nor so striking as the cultural dif ferences. All American Indians can be clas sified generally as belonging to the Mongoloid stock, to which the people of eastern Asia also belong. The principal differences are in physiognomy, head form, and stat ure. The Indians of the eastern United States and of the Great Plains area were usually tall and stalwart in build, frequently exhibit ing the aquiline nose which we so commonly associate with the typ ical Indian face. Indians of this type also prevail in western and southern South America. Southern Indians Shorter. On the other hand, the Indians of Mexico, Central America, and the Amazon basin were considerably shorter in stature and darker in complexion, with broad and flatter noses. Ethnologists estimate the total population of this area at approxi mately 1,150,000. Of this number 846,000 were within the limits of the present United States, 220,000 were in Canada, 72,000 in Alaska, and 10,- 000 in Greenland. Norse Describe Indians. After these enterprising people had discovered America, populated it, and developed their interesting and diverse cultures, it remained for the Europeans to discover the Indians. When Norsemen visited the New England coast during the first two decades of the Eleventh century, their all too brief descriptions of the savages, or “skraellings,” indicate that the latter were an Algonquin people whose customs changed but little during the next few centuries. They were clad in skin clothing, armed with bows and arrows, and used stone axes. They navigated the rivers in birchbark canoes and eagerly traded their furs for strips of red flannels to bind about their heads. The Norsemen also described “self-sown wheat fields,” but it is impossible to say whether these were fields of cultivated maize or of wild rice. HEALTH • Defensive tissues of body can usually overcome trouble some organisms. By Dr. jumes W. Barton N OSE specialists tell us that if the lining of the nose is in a healthy condition, it can prevent harmful organisms in the air from entering the body and setting up diseases. This moist or mucous lining can get rid of a group of organ isms from the system and be ready for a new lot within 10 minutes. Similarly other tissues in the body and the blood itself, by putting up a daily fight against various organ isms, gradually get the mastery over these organ isms. The tissues and blood become "immune” or proof against the ailments these various organ isms would set up in the body if there were no resistance to them. “Most of the tis sues of a healthy in dividual have an im munity or can with stand the majority of organisms and destroy them when they gain entrance to the sys tem. Should such organisms find lodgment in the tissues, they fre quently prove harmless to the indi- viduaL Even when they enter the blood stream both the organisms and the poisons they make usually are rapidly destroyed by the blood.” Forces Mr.y Be Weakened. Professor Myer Solis-Cohen, Uni versity of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Medicine, as guest editor of Medical World tells us that this defensive power of the tissues and the blood may continue intact for years. This defensive power of the body may be lost when the invad ing organisms are excessive in num ber or become increased in their power to destroy tissue, or when the individual’s local or general re sistance is reduced or broken down completely through exposure, physi cal or mental fatigue, inadequate diet, bad hygiene, a new infection, or a rundown condition. Thus the organism which has , been resting harmlessly in the body begins to ac quire the ability to cause damage and infection. The point then is that even if we are in good condition physically, there may be certain organisms that can set up trouble in the body be cause our defensive forces have not had this particular organism to fight and overcome up to this time. But even should they attack us, if we are in good physical condition— heart, lungs, kidneys and digestive system—and no other infection such as in teeth, tonsils or sinus is pres ent, we can usually put up a fight strong enough to overcome them. • • • Sinuses May Cause Colds in Children There are some youngsters who seem always to have a cold. In schools where there is a school nurse with a physician visiting at regular intervals, it is often a prob lem as to whether to allow the child to remain at school or be sent home until the cold clears up. As a matter of fact, when the child seems always to have a cold, the trouble is often in one of the sinuses adjoining the nose, usually the one in the upper jaw—the an trum. This sinus appears to be al ways ready to start trouble should the youngster be exposed to a draft, to dampness or become real tired or fatigued. The lining of the sinus becomes inflamed and at first there is just a light mucus followed later by a thick mucus, and in some cases, by pus formation. This mu- bus or pus drops down into the back of the throat and is coughed out. Causes of Sinusitis. Dr. James Crooks, in the British Medical Journal, gives the signs and symptoms of these chronic cases of sinusitis: 1. Discharge of mucus or pus from the nose. 2. Frequent colds. 3. Cough. 4. Snoring and mouth breathing. 5. Sore throats. 6. Headaches. Inflammation of the middle ear and general weakness or disability are often present. Ex amination of the nose, lighting up the sinus by a special lamp and tak ing an X-ray picture may also be dons to make sure that the frequent colds are really due to an inflamed sinus. The treatment of chronic sinusitis is first to try to prevent the condi tions that start or light up the trou ble. “Colds must be avoided by im proving hygiene and general health and resistance.” When the colds oc cur, the lining of the nose must be shrunk so that the opening from the sinus into the nose remains open. This shrinking is done with adre nalin, epinephrine, or by ephedrine (the Chinese drug), or by a benze drine inhaler. Operation for this condition is not done as often now. Operation is performed only when the discharge has turned to puss which continues to form despite the shrinking of the nose lining and the washing out of the sinus. • Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service. Beauty Aids Not Intended For Children By PATRICIA LINDSAY M ANY mothers write asking such questions as these i “Do you believe in permanent waves for young children?” “My child has a very pale face. When she goes to parties should I rouge her cheeks?” “My young daughter likes colored nail polish. She is only nine. Should I let her wear it?” And once in a while I get a question which makes me gasp—“I want my child, who is now five years old, to have a perfect com plexion when she grows up. Should I give her a facial once a week at a beauty parlor?” Of course, my answer to all of those questions is “No—Definitely no!” A child should be allowed to grow into an adult, unhampered. Her ten der hair can be ruined with intense heat and harmful lotions; her skin can be marred for life by creams which were made for aging beauty, not virgin beauty; and how horrible to look at a young child with lac quered nails or rouged cheeks 1 If you wish your child to grow into a beauty be watchful over the fundamentals of a healthy body and mind. See that she is fed the foods that will nourish her. Foods that will strengthen her tiny bones and teeth. Foods that will keep her skin fresh as a dew-kissed petaL Brush the darling’s hair regular ly, away from the scalp with a brush that is kept sterilized and used for her very own. Keep her scalp clean, free from rashes and dandruff. Try to discover a natural wave in her hair, and press it between your fin gers while it is damp to encour age its curb Self Neglect Never Justified What mother failed to do was this. She neglected herself in or der to shower daughter with much— much she didn’t need. When daugh ter was at the going-out age, she saw other mothers who were at tractive, who could speak on current topics and books, who were more or less companionable to their own daughters. By comparison her mother fell short. Didn’t she? Yes, the doting mother failed to keep modern. Her offspring outshines her. What these disappointed mothers should do, now that their daughters have grown, is to spend much more time thinking about themselves! Buy some new clothes, get a new hair-do and a few beauty treatments —if the budget will stand for them by crossing out daughter’s ordinary provisions! Those will restore self- respect. To restore self-assurance get ac tive in something, preferably local, which will bring you out of the home into social. activity. Read books, magazines, go to movies. De velop a personality—because you have drowned yours in your daugh ter’s. Don’t blame her. She is young and youth is ruthless! Win your own self esteem back and it will not be long before people will be saying, “Alice should be att) ac tive and talented, just look at ner mother!” C Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service. HINT-OF-THE-DAY Be Kind to Tender Skins Plain soap and water is the most reliable of all skin cleansers, but there are some skins that do not react satisfactorily to this method of cleaning. Some women find that when they use soap and water on the face there is a tendency to dryness and itch ing. Sometimes a alight rash will appear for a day or so. Women whose skins react in this manner should avoid standing under the shower, and even for the tub bath it is advisable to cover the face and neck with a cream or vase line. A generous coat of vaseline will repel all steam and water. When soap and water are used, it should be at a time when there is no irritation. The water should be tepid, never hot. Use a wash cloth or complexion brush to wash well around the nose and mouth, as well as the face and neck. After a few moments re move the soap with cool water rinsing, cover the face and neck with * towel and pat dry. Then apply a good smooth cleans ing cream—one with a good oil base, and never the vanishing cream, which often has an alkali or soap base. After removing the cleansing cream, use a good tissue cream. Eighteenth Centnry Ice Cream The famous Josiah Wedgwood, English ceramic maker of the Eighteenth century, listed “ice cream cups” again and again on his price cards, showing that even in that day this dessert was known. In fact, a recipe for making it was dated 1669. Fruits, sugar, and cream combined were placed in an earthen pot, packed with ice and “much salt,” and frozen, much as we freeze ice cream. Washington, Jefferson, and Madison are known to have sei ved it at social functions in this country by the end of th* Eighteenth century.
