smith writing in the financial post under the business of farming his weekly topic refers to the huge increases the farmers are asked to produce especially in meats and dairy products rightfully he doubts their ability to reach the objective because of the labor situa tion says mr smith it is estimated that during 1942 18 per cent of the avail able labor supply was drained away by enlistments in the armed forces or urban war factories more work is being thrown on the remaining farm population and this popula tion incidentally is getting older it has been estimated that about one third of our

witness christs glorv golden text a voice came out of the cloud saying this is my beloved son hear him mark 97 the iiessox as a whole the transfiguration of our lord jesus was more than a cursory in cident in his wonderful life it was as peter bears witness the fathers authentication of the divine charac ter of his sonship and a revelation of the glory of the coming kingdom three times in the greek new testa ment we find the word that is trans lated in this instance transfigured in romans 122 it is rendered transformed and in 2 coronthlans 318 changed it means a metam orphosis or change produced from within what the lord jesus was as the divine son shone out through the veil of his flesh thus giving him the glorious appearance that filled the three apostles with awe and wonder god had said that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word should be established deut 1915 so our lord chose peter james and john as witnesses on a number of special occasions that they might bear united testimony to that which confirmed in christ the word of prophecy luke 928 mark 537 1433 in reading the letters of peter it will be observed that each links with a notaible experience in the lite of the inspired author the first epistle is definitely connected with the revela tion given near caesarea philippi after peters great confession of jesus as the christ the son of the living god there tlhe lord told of building his church in which peter was to be a stone this is the basis for 1 peter 2110 the second letter dwells upon that which was seen and heard that night on the holy mount when there came the fathers voice from the excellent glory vindicating the claims of his blessed son and indicating the character of the com ing kingdom an experience peter never forgot verso by verso mark 92 he was transfigured ibefore them the transcendent glory of his deity sbone out through the veil of his flesh thus changing his appearance in such a way as to fill his disciples with amazement and impressing them with a sense of his mysterious personality verse 3 white as snow so as no fuller on earth can white them his very garments appeared to be ether- ealized and glowed with a brilliancy such as no worker in linen or other material used for apparel could pro duce the word rendered fuller or iginally meant a dresser of skins or hides but came to be applied in a wider sense as indicated above verse i blias and moses were talking with jesus these worthies had been in paradise for many centuries they were living and conscious and capable of con versing with one another and with the lord they stand as representa tives of che law and the prophets and also of two classes of believers those who will die ibefore the lord returns and those who will be caught up or raptured ivhen that event takes place john lli25 26 verse 5 let us make three taber nacles that is booths peter was so overwhelmed with what he saw and heard that he proposed to honor all the three who appeared in glory by building for them special booths he did not realize tihe incongruity invol- ed in putting even the greatest of province pays amount so york county ix full honorary colonel v a

eyewitnesses of his majesty that is to toehold before hand a vision of the glory yet to be revealed in that coming day verse 17 he received from god the father honour and glory it is ever the fathers delight to glorify his son and on the mount he hon ored him by owning him audibly as his beloved one in whom he was well pleased verse 18 this voice which came from heaven we heard had there been only one witness to this unbelievers might have declared that what peter called the fathers voice was just a delusion the result of a disturbed mental condition but there were three witnesses the full num ber prescribed in the law they all heard the voice and undei stood the words as they were spoken by the father when they were together with the transfigured christ in the holy mount tho heart of the lesson when our lord was heie on earth he veiled his personal glory in a talbeinacle of flesh that humanity which he assumed in order that he might give himself a ransom for our guilty souls on the holy mount as peter calls it that inward glory shone out thiough the veil of his flesh and levealed him as the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth john 114 the disciples saw him then as all shall see him when he comes again to bring in the kingdom piomised by the prophets the kingdom that is in abeyance now because of his rejec tion by israel when he came in low ly grace the fathers voice made assurance doubly sure as he pro claimed his delight in the son of his love gods servants on a level as it were with the lord jesus himself moreover he did not recognize the transitory character of the scene that enthralled him so he would have erected three tabernacles in order to give some permanent place of dwelling to each of the three who conversed together how many since peters day have thought to honor christ toy giving special prominence to his servants whether prophets apostles saints or angels and have never realized that in thus recog nizing them as worthy of special homage they have actually dishonor ed the master himself verse 6 he wist not what to say how much better then if he had been content to remain silent but peter was of that restless char acter which made him feel he must say something and he spoke out of place and out of line with the mind of god who would not have any others occupying the hearts of his people in such a way as to detract from the glory that belongs to christ alone what seems like piety and humility is ofttlmes a subtle form of pride and unbelief col 21819 verse 7 this is my beloved son hear him it is christ whom the father delights to honor he would have all men recognize and obey him verse 8 they saw no man save jesus only moses and ellas disappeared and jesus christ alone remained to be worshiped and adored 2 pet 116 the power and com ing of our lord jesus christ the transfiguration scene was a picture in miniature of that kingdom which is to be brought in in power when our saviour comes again the truth connected with this glorious event is not to be confounded with mens wild guesses as to the future and their cunningly devised fables of a golden age as a result of mans pro gress and ingenuity
