And while he was speak- ing to them there, suddenly His face began to shine as if it were'' the Sun, and the robes he "wore, which were white;, glistened and shone like spark ling silver; and hes'tood before them like an angel. A bright cloud over- shadowed them at the same time; and a voice, speaking from the cloud, was heard to say "This is my beloved Son, in whom 1 am well pleased. Hear ye him!" At which the three disciples fell . on their knees • and covered their faces: being afraid. This is called the Transfiguration of 'Our Saviour. When they were come down from this mountain and were among the people again,' a man knelt at the feet of Jesus Christ, and said "Lord have mercy on my son,for he is niad and cannot help himself, and sometimes falls into the fire, and sometimes in- to the water, and covers himself with scars, and sores. Some of Thy Dis- ciples have tried to cure him, but could not." Our Saviour cured the child immediately; and turning to his disciples told them that they had not been able td cure him themselves, be- cause they did not believe in Him so truly as He had hoped. The Disciples asked. him, "Master, who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?" Jesus. called a little child to him, and took him in His arms, and stood him among them, and an- swered. "A child like this. I say un- to you that none but those who are as humble as little children shall en- ter into Heaven. Whosoever shall re- ceive one such little child in my name receiveth ane. But whosoever hurts one of then, it were better for him that he had a millstone tied about his neck, and were drowned in the depths of the sea. The angels are all child- ren." , ,, ,. , • Our Saviour loved the child, and loved all children. Yes, and all the world. No one ever loved all people, so well and truly as He did, Peter asked Him, "Lord, how often shall I forgive any one who offends. me? Seven times?" Our Saviour an- swered, "Seventy tunes seven times, and more than that. For how can you hope that God will forgive you, when you do wrong, unless •you forgive a i other people!" And he told his disciples this story. He said, there was once a Servant who owed his Master a great deal of money, and could not pay it. At which the Master, being very angry Was going to have this Servant sold for a slave. But the servant kneeling down and begging his Master's par- don with great sorrow, the Master forgave him. Now this same servant had a fellow -servant who owed him a hundred pence, and instead of being kind and forgiving to this poor man, as his master had been to him, he ,put His mas- ter, for the debt. ebt liiminptisort ter, hearing of it, went to him, and said "Olt wicked Servant, I forgave you, why did you not forgive your fellow servant!" And because he had not done so, his master turned lune away with great misery, "So," said Our Saviour, "how can you expect God to forgive you, if you do not for- give others!" This is the .meaning of that part of the Lord's prayer, where we say "forgive tis our trespasses"— that word means faults—"as we for- give them that trespass against Cts." And he told them another story, and said "There was a certain Farm- er once, who had a Vineyard, and he went out early in the morning, and. agreed with some labourers rn work there all day,for a Penny, ,And bye' and bye when it was later, he went. out again and engaged some more labourers on the same terms; and bye and bye went out again; and so on, several times, until the afternoon. When the day was over, and they all. came to be paid, those who had work- ed since morning complained that those who had mgt begun to work un- til late in the day had the same anon- ey as themselves, and they said it was not fair: But the Master, said, "Friend: I agreed with you for a Penny; and: is it less money to .you, because I give: the same money to another man?"' OurSaviottr meant to teach them: by this, that people who have dome good all their lives long, will go to Heaven after they are dead. But that people who have been wicked, because of their being miserable, or not having parents and friends to take care of them when young and who are truly sorry for it, however late in their liv- es, and pray to God to forgive, them, will be forgiven and will go to Heav- en too. He taught His disciples in these stories ,because he knew the people liked to hear them, and would remember what He said better, if he said it in that way. They are called. Parable — THE PARABLES OF OUR SAVIOUR; and I wish you to remember that word, as I shall soon have some more of these Parables to tell you about. ' The people listened to all that our Saviour said, but were not agreed among themselves about Him. The Pharisees and Jews had spoken to some of them against Him, and sonic•; of them were inclined to do Him harm and even to murder Him. But they were afraid, as yet, to do Him any harm, because of His goodness, and: His looking so divine and grand—al- though he was very simply dressed; almost like the poor people -that they could hardly bear to meet his eyes. One morning, He was sitting in, a place called the Mount of Olives, tea:- ching•the people who were all clust- ered round Him, listening and learn- ing attentively, when a great noise was heard, anda crowd of Pharisees, and some other people like them. called Scribes, came running in, with great cries and shouts, dragging am- ong them a woman who had dobe wrong, and they all cried out togeth- er, "Master! Look at this woman. The law says she shall be pelted with stones until she is dead. But what say you? what say you?" Jesus looked upon the noisy crowd: attentively, and knew that they had come to make Him say the law was wrong and cruel; and that if He said so, they would make it a charge: against Him and would kill Him. They were ashamed and afraid as He looked into their faces, but theyit still cried out, "Come! what say you Mas- ter? what say you?" Jesus stooped down, and wrote with his finger in the sand on the ground, "He that is without sin among you, " let him throwthe first sto e her. n at As they read this, looking over one another's shoulders, and as He repeat- ed the words to them, they went away, one by one, ashamed, until not a man of all the noisy crowd was left there; anti Jesus Christ, and the wo- man, hiding her fare in her hands, alone remained. Then said .Jesus Christ, • "Woman, where are thine • accusers? Hath no man condemned Thee?" She answer- ed, trembling, "No, Lordl" Then said our Saviour, "Neither do I condemn Thee. Go! and sin no more!" (Continued Next Week) (Copyright for North and South America, 1934, by United Feature Syndi- cate. All rights reserved.) SALEM leen Willits last Saturday. The S.
