GOLDEN TEXT ---".ole that abid- eth in rhe, -and I in him, the same beareth much fruit, for apart from me ye cm do 'nothing." --John 15:5. The Lessgn. In Its Setting Time; ---'.Che transfiguration oceured in the summer of A.D. 29, the! third year of Christ's ministry. • e Place—On one of the ridges radiat- ing from Mt. Hermon, and also at the foot of the ridge, The Transfiguration: Food for Faith 'And after six days". • This was six days after Peter's bold and complete acknowledgment of Jesus as the Son of God, the prophesied Messiah, the Saviour of the world, "Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John" Peter who loved Jesus so mach, John whom Jesus loved so • much, • James who first of the apostles was to bear Witness in, martyrdom to his love for the Lord: These three were the in- ner circle of the Twelve, those clos- est to Jesus, the three who, with the exception. of Pau], were to lead all Christians in the service of the Sav- iour. They had been singled out to witness the raisingof the daughter of Jairus from the dead, and they alone were to share Christ's anguished vigil in Gethsemane. "And bringeth them up into a high mountain." There are many mountains near Caesarea Phil- ippi, and this was probably a spur of Palestine's loftiest eminence, the great snow -crowned Mt. Hermon, which can be seen from all parts ..of the Holy Land. It rises over 9,000 feet. "Apart 'by themselves". 'St. Luke 9:28, tells us that one object of Christ's oan withdrawal.,was that Ile might engage in solitary prayer. "And he was transfigured before them." The descriptions of this wondrous oc- curence given by Matthew, Mark and Luke are varying, almost despairing attempts to paint in words what Ian- guage could not portray. His form was bathed in light. His countenance was transformed by the splendor, as if a hindering mask had been thrown off. "And his garments became glisten- ing exceeding white, so as no- fuller on earth can whiten them". He was clothed with` light as with a garment (Ps. 104:2; Hal). 3:4).

A. M. Crawford, Wingham white as the strew of Hermon. Thus the angels at Christ's tomb were clad in dazzling white (Luke 24:4; John 20:12). It is the raiment of Heaven, "And there appeared unto theni Eli- jah with Moses," Moses, the repre- sentative of the sacred Law; Elijah, the representative of prophesy. Their presence binds together the Old and New Testaments. It was j esus ' of whom Moses in the Law and the pro- pltets all wrote. Their presence, moreover, proves the immortality' of the soul, that it endures beyond the grave. e. rind they were talking with Jesus", They spoke of the death He Iwas to die at Jerusalem, His coining departure from this world. They at least understood, and Christ's heart was comforted at This dread' hour. "And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus." Peter's `answer' was not a reply to anything that had .been said, but was rather a response; though a blundering one, to the entire situa- tion. • The heavenly visitors were de- parting (Luke 9:33,) and Peter was eager to prolong their stay. "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here". No hostile critics were present, no schem- ing Pharisees and scribes, no jealous officials fearing Christ's popularity. Truly it is goo.d for pus to engage in spiritual communion, but only to „gain strength and wisdom. for doing as Jes- us did, going out among men to help and bless. "And let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, The 'tab- ernacles' were booths made of twist- ed boughs, such as the pilgrims to Jerusalem made, at the Feast of Tab ernacles. 'Tor he knew not what to answer; for •they becttine sore afraid." Peter and ianies and John had been asleep as they were in the Garden of t.icth s,4ma ne (Luke. 9:32). They had beet: walce.ned by the brightness of the Sa- viour's glory, "And there camea •cloud overshad- owing them," It was not a dark cloud. but a bright one (Matt, 17:5), 'which hung over thein and illuminated the scene with sudden dazzling radiance. "And there came a voice out of the cloud,' this is my beloved Son; Bear ye hie." Matt, 17:15 gives the words more fully; 'This is,.mv,beloved Son, in whom 1 ani well pleased." 'Chis is my son, My chosen,' is the wording given by Luke. Again, just before 'Christ's arrest and death (J61m xe:28), the sante great voice carne out of heaven; but this time aiso the; words Were addressed to 'Jesus; though for the sake of the apostles. ' ent. "And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any more, save j esus only themselves." There was now no need for Moses, nor stet for Elijah."' -e. "And one of the multitude answer- ed hint, Teacher, I brought unto thee shy son, who hath a dutnb spirit. " It was an especially sad case, since the boy was the father's only child. He was dumb in the sense that he could not speak words, but he could utter inarticulate cries (Luke 9:39), "And wheresoever it taketh him, it daslieth him down." These seizures were sadly frequent. "And he foam- eth and grindeth his teeth and pineth away." Foaming at the mouth and gnashing the teeth are further symp- tons of epileptic seizures. "And 1 spake to the disciples that they should cast it out," Christ had given the dis- ciples power to heal diseases and cast out demons (Bark 6:13), and this fa- ther may have seen them using this power with marvellous results. In his humility he would rather approach the disciples than their Master, "And they were not able." Christ's rebuke (uf'the disciples implies that they had the power to heal, but had not duvet- 'oped it by faith and prayer and fast- ing; they were not able just because they were not enough in earnest. • "And when Jesus saw that a multi- tude eamc runnings together:" A:1 ways Christ wished to avoid publicity. for His miracles of healing, and so He Hastened to perform the cure he fore a still larger crowd should gath- er. "He rebuked the unclean spirit,. saying antes him, 'Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of hint, and enter no more into him." The 1 is emphatic, "My discipless have tried and failed, 'but 1 ,hall net {till. 1, iw hose power is ab,oliiue turd wliont you nriist obey, 1 command you." It is a majestic utterance, "And leaving• cried out; and torn Mini much, be .etune out."

"]'rut Jesus took him by the hand, and raised hint up, and he arose," This e.ould be nothing but miracu- lous„ the lad was uneorsscious, and no human means could thus arouse him, Matt, 17:18 tells tis that the boy's curb began at o115e: u11 w<l.S' perinan dit "And when he was come into the: house, his disciples asked hizn private- ly, How it is that we could not cast it out." It must be remembered that the three disciples closest to. Jesus and most fully empowered by faith had been absent with the Master on, Mt. .Hermon, so that only the nine disciples of inferior grace and strength had thus failed, But even they night well be abashed, since Christ had ex- pressly promised them power over evil spirits (Matt. 10:1; Luke 9:x.) rdisheartened i V� e aI, o a e Offen.
