Sunday School Lesson LESSON III PETER SEES CHRIST'S GLORY Matt. 17: 1-18; 2 Peter 1: 16-18 Golden Text. â€" Wa beheld his glory, glory a* of the only begot- ten from the Father. John 1: 14. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.â€" Autumn, A.D. 2!>. The Second Epistle of Peter was writ- ten somewliere near A.D. 65. PJaee. â€" Almost certainly on Mt. Hermon, in the northern part of ' Palestine. We do not know whei'e the Second Epistle was written. 1. And after six days. This means six days after the great confession of Peter, and the re- buke that Peter received immed- iately afterward. Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother. Those three of his disciples who were most close- ly linked to him in heart and thought. And bringeth them up into a high mountain apart. That the transfiguration took place at night is the opinion of most stu- dents. The Transfiguration 2. And he was transfigured be- fore them. No one can say exact- ly what the word here translated "transfigured" meant in the life of Chri.st, figuratively or spiritually. And his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as tl»e light. The light around was more than a .'obe put on from the out.oide. It was an emanation from the fountain of light within. Those were rays that streamed forth from his own nature; and herein is the difference. In the case of Mo?os and the dying Stephen. S. And behold, there appeared untc them \Io.=es and Elijah talk- ing with him. T hose two men were tht representative loaders of the Hebrew theocrai'v. Moses was the embodiment of the law, Elijah of the prophets. 4 And Peter an.swered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I wil. make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. Peter makes the great mistake here in, as it were, classifying the Lord Jesus among the great characters of Is- rael, as if the Lord v;as to I'.avc no more glory on that mount than Moses and Elijah were to have. He certainly does not •x'we any pre-eminent place to Christ. Words From Heaven 5. While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshad- owed them. Aiid behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. On two other occa- sions a supernatural voic- brought testimony to the Lord Jesus: at his baptism (Matt. 3: 17), and to- wara the close of his life, on Sun- day before the par-sover (John 12: 28) Three apostles could never agree that they heard certain words, at the same time, and in tho same place, unless su:h words were actually uttere:'. Thirty years after this Simon Peter still remembers that he heard a voice on the mountain. The voice was none other than the voice of God the Father. The voice added. Hear ye him. 6. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7. And Jesus came and touched them and said. Arise, and be not afraid. 8. And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only. The disciples needed to learn that Christ's true glory was in suffering. They saw nothing in the cross but shame and defeat. This vision was to teach them that the cross was his throne. Back To The Multitude Matt. 17: 9-13. 9. And as they were coming down from the moun- tain, Jesus commanded them, saying. Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead. Any report on the part of these three disciples of what they had seen, Christ transfigured, would at that time have been re- jected on the part of tho.se to whom the story was told, and would not in any way enhance the name of Christ, or convince anyone of his Messiahship. 14. And when they were come to the multitude, thoie came to him a man. kneeling to him, and .saying. 13. Lord, have merc.v on my son; for he is epileptic, and suffering grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft- times into the watei'. 16. And I brought him to thy disciple.s, and they could not cure him. 17. And Jesus answered and said, faith- less and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me. The disciples had little faith; the father believed, and did not believe. This preval- ence of perverse unbelief made it painful to live amid such a gener- ation, and to suffer or bear with them. 18.2 And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and th» boy w«.< cured from that hour.

Goebbels is reported under a cloud as the result of a horse-whipping given him by friends of Actor Gustav Froelich, who objected to him forcing his attention on Froelich's beautiful wife, Ac- tress Lida Daarova. Hitler is reported to be angered by the scandal. Frau Goebbels is perhaps Germany's most influential woman.

For we did not follow eunninyly devised fables, when we made luiowii un- to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17. For he received from God the Father honor ano glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory. This is m.y beloved Son in whom 1 am well pleased: 18. and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heav- en, when we were with him in the holy mount. The apostle Peter, after having preached Christ for more than thirty years, is writing this second letter to other Chris- tians, presumably Hebrew Chris- tians, scattered throughout the world, to encourage and strength- en them in the faith, and to con- vi -ce those possibly in danger of departing from the faith, through persecution, that there is no life, no hope, no power, and no future glory, outside of Christ. Peter is now an old man. The remem- brance of the transfiguration was one of those things which helped Peter in every hour of temptation and trial to keep him unswervingly persuaded that Christ was tho true Redeemer and the Son of God. Japan's search for war-time substitutes has led to 4,000 inven- tions, ranging from purcelain telephones t' waterproof cms and buckets. Celluloid razor blades and summer hats were among articles displayed at a Tokio exhibit.

His Hobby Was To Hoard Steel "Bruce Steel King's" 30 Tons of Steel Blocks Have Gone Under the Hanuner More than 30 tons of steel In blocks and bars otfered for sale near Walkerton recently at the auc- tion of the effects of the late Jos- eph Schmidt, known as the ''Bruce Steel King" through his eccentri- cities In buying this commodity in large quantities remains unsold as a result of bids rangiuK no higher than $7 per ton. Refused High Price One block of steel, purchased by Schmidt two years ago. weighing It is estimated, eight tons and for which the deceased paid, it is stat- ed, $2,000. was put up for sale and drew a bid of only $25. In all It is believed that Schmidt had purchas- ed more than $5,000 worth of steel. Including saws, hammers, sledges, bars and blocks from oarnlugs ac- cumulated from his labors as a farm helper and bushman. The amount received by the es- tate apaVt from the blocks unsold would amount possibly to $100. Schmidt, who died less than a year ago at the age of 75, had made a hobby of buying steel and in war time refused a high figure for what he then had on hand. Handling Cream After SeDaration Remove to Clean, Sweet-Smel- ling, Well-Ventilated Place, And Cool Thoroughly The fact that the separator is kept clean and runs properly, does not necessarily prove that good cream will be on hand at churning time or that good butter can be made from it. The proper care and handling of the cream is an impor- tant phase of the question. The milk must have boon produced from clean cows, in a clean barn, into clean pails and by clean and careful milkers. It must have been remov- ed from the h-irn iuiniediately after milking to the separator. Remove cream immedialelv after scparalion to a clean, sweet smelling. well venlilatod place and cool tliorongh- ly.
