The. Transfiguration. -Matt. 17: 1-8,
14-20.
Commentary. I. The `12ransfiguratltei
(vs. 1.8.) 1, After six days -Luke says,
"About an eight days after." There
were six full days following the day on
which the conversation recorded in the
preceding chapter took place, previous
to the night of the Transfiguration,
making in all "about an eight days."
There is no account of the events of
those six days. Peter, James and John
-These were the close =wantons of
Jesus, the only ones being with him on
several important occasions, as when he
rinsed Jairus' daughter and in Gethsem-
ane, They were granted this intimate
relation because of their superior• devo-
tion to their Lord. Mountain -it is now
generally supposed that it was on one
of the spurs of Mount Hermon, a little
northeast of Caesarea. Apart -Jesus
was engaged in prayer (Luke 9: 28), and
very likely the three disciples joined
with thein. It is repeatedly recorded of
Jesus that he prayed (Luke 3: 21; 6:
12; Mark 6: 40; John 17: 9; Matt. 26:
36.) 2. Was transfigured before them-
His appearenee was changed and became
ineffably glorious. It was as if the evil
of the human was partially withdrawn
for a little while and the glory of the
diving shone forth. His face laid shine
as the sun -The comparison is with the
brightest object known. Nothing less
could express the divine effulgence. His
raiment .... light -His face shone with
divine majesty, and all his body was so
irradiated by it, that his clothes could
not conceal his glory, but became white
and glistening as the very light vvit!1
which he covered himself as with a gar-
ment. -Wesley.
3. Behold, there appeared unto them -
The disciples were awake (Luke 9: 32),
hence the scene was actual and not a vi-
sion.. Moses and Elias talking with him
-Moses was the representative of the
law, and Elias (the Greek form of "Eli-
jah"), of the prophets. They were talk-
ing of the death of Jesus, which was to
take place at Jerusalem (Luke 9: 31.)
Their appearance was similar to that tR
Jesus, as they "`appeared in glory"
• (Luke 9: 31), that is, in their glorified
state, yet they could not have been so
radiant as he.
4. Then answered Peter -He was the
spokesman of the three and was quiek
to speak. He did not comprehend what
he was saying (Luke 9: 33.) It is good
for us to be here -Their grief of the past
week because of the revelation that Je-
sus had made to them of his own death

was now changed to glad astonishment
at what they beheld. It was good fox

tion of the divine glory. The months

;appointment and perplexity, yet they
would carry with then. the memory of
this scene (2 Pet. 1: 17, 18,) If thou
wilt -If thou art willing. Let us make
here three tabernacles -He spoke of the
booths made from branches of trees,
•such as were used during the feast of
tabernacles. He desired continuance of
the glorious scene. In his thought he made
no provision for himself and James and
John, possibly desiring to be the ser-
vants of the radiant three. Jesus made
no reply, and there was something better
for them and for the world than that
they should abide in the Mount of Trans-
figuration. A bright cloud over-
shadowed -The brightness was so great
as to render the heavenly visitants invi-
sible. Peter later speaks of it as "the
excellent glory" (Pet. 2: 17.) A cloud
was the symbol of the divine presence
to the Israelites in their journeyinga,
also when it took possession of the tab-
ernacle, and later when it filled the
•temple. A voice out of the cloud -The
same voice which had been heard once
before at the baptism (Matt. 3: 17), and
which was to be heard again when he
stood on the threshold of his passion
'(John 12: 28), attesting his divinity and
Sonship at the beginning, at the middle,
•and at the close of • his ministry. -Cam.

II. The evil spirit east out (vs. 14-20),
The disciples did not comprehend the
Transfiguration serene sufficiently to tell
it to others, nor would hey until the
resurrection of Christ, hence, Jesus for-
bade their declaring it. The question of
the disciples with reference to .the com-
ipg of Elijah brought forth the answer
from Jesus, that he had already come
and had been given over to the will ,of
the people. John the Baptist haul Come
in the spirit of Elijah. 14. The ,multitude
The people had oome together on ac-
count of the unsueceesful efforts of the
other nine diseiplee to cast out an evil
spirit from a boy. This was an hour
when tike enemies of Jesus were appar-
ently victorious. There came to him --
The father of the afflicted child was not
disheartened because of the failure of
the disciples to cure the boy. He 'believ-
ed that Jesus could do it. 15. Have mer-

they could not cure him -Jesus had giv-
en them power when lie sent them out
upon their .mission, but either because
of the severity of the case or their own
weakness, their efforts to cast out the
evil spirit were fruitless. 17. faithless
and perverse generation -The scribes
who stood by caviling at the failure; the
people who had brought the devil into
such power over themselves and chil-
dren by their sins; and the disciples;
whose weak faith subjected the cause
of God to ridicule, are all a part •of this
faithless and perverse generation, and
all have a share in this rebuke of our
Lord.-Whedon. how long -The slow-

unbelief -The last week had been one
of perplexity and grief, and the disciples
had not maintained the simplicity of
their trust in God. faith as a grain of
mustard seed -In perfection as well as

fore his children, the exercise of faith

A sandy loam Xs the best soil for

manure, plow and harrow to pulverize

prevent the fruit trona cracking.
Flogs in England are given a great
variety of feeds=potatoes, turnips, ear -
rots, beets, peas, beans, barley and oats.
The grain is either steamed or ground
and tho vegetables usually cooked and
mixed with nwill. 'Grasses and clovers
are cut and fed during the summer time.

should be left onthe ground. If remov-
ed, not much, if any, nitrogen is added
to the soil.. if the crop Is removed and

The soybean vines make the best hay
if cut when the pods have formed and
the lowest leaves have turned, yellow;
but for seed and cutting should not be-
gin until half the leaves have turned
yellow. Even the soybean hay is a val-
uable feed. Animals relish the hay and
thrive upon it.
Moisture is the most important tac-
tor in the germination of seeds. Very
little is required for most of the garden
seeeds, and the tendency is to apply too
much water rather than too little.
Special care must be exercised in the
germination of old seeds or seeds of low
vitality. 11 water is applied rather spar-
ingly, especially immediately after sow-
ing, the percentage of germination will
be larger and the plants more vigorous.
Rhubarb requires a deep, rich mellow
soil. In fact, the soil cannot be too rich.
The earliest yield is from a warm, sandy
loam. The longest stalks and the great-
est number may be grown on a deep,
rich elay loan:. The ground should be
plowed twice and harrowed and rolled
to get it in good order.

"Was transfigured before them: and
his face did shine as the ran (v. 2). John
on Patmos, given glimpses of Jesus'
glory, as. Judge, saw his countenance
as "the sun" (Rev. 1:16). The "mirror"
is Christ the living Word, revealed in
the written word. If we would reflect
Christ' constantly we must gaze upon
him continually. In the perpetual sun-
shine of his presence we may "shine.. in
the world," as he commanded (Phil.
2:15). Moses turned his eyes from the
royal palace and ended es "seeing him
Who. is invisible" (Heb. 11:37). And in
the mount, gazing into the face of the
Sun of righteousness, his own face shone
with the light reflected as IIe' gazed
(Feed, 34:29). "His rainment was white
as the light" (v. 2): Rainnrent stands
for character, experience, habits. God
as Creator is represented as clothed with
power and glory (Psa, • 104:1. 2) ; as
Lung, with majesty and strength. (f'sa.
93:1, 2); as r~avhior, with righteousness
(iso: 50:10, 17; 01:10). God's priests
are clothed with righteouenees and eel-
vation (Pea. 132:9, 16) They have put
off tlfe old roan (Col. 3.9).
Christ's grace. "There talked with
him two men. Moses and Elijah who
appeared in.giory, and apake of his' de-
partnre which he was about to aeeotn-
nlish at Jerusalem". (Luke 11:31: P,., V,,
margin). Christ's first prophecy of his
death was just before his Tra•iiefigura-
tion (Matt. 16:21); his nest, just after
(Matt, 20:17, 18). The lacy was given
by Moses; grace same by Jesus (John
1:17). The grace of Christ Was his vol-
,untary atoning sacrifice for man (2
Cor. 8:9). As the snbstitute for sin-
ners, their High Priest, offering himself
athe sacrifice for their sins, died the
death of the Bross (Isa. 52:4.8; Eph.
5.2).
Christ's greatness. "This is my be-
loved Son" (v. 5). There was no voice
from heaven when, by his miracles,
Christ "manifested forth his glory"
(John 2:11). But God enpreseed him-
self "well pleased" when "]Ie ]tumbled
himself" by identification with sinners,
thus fulfilling all righteousness (Matt.
3:15), and by his renunciation of the
way of glory for the way of the. cross.
Christ's goodness. "Tim disciples.. , .
were sore afr•aid..,.and Jesus came and
touched them and said, Arise, and be
not afraid" (vs. 0. 7). If we hear
Christ's call to go "rip into a mottneain"
and the vision overpowers its, he will
not chide us; rte will comfort its. "He
glean .power to the faint... ,he increas-
eth strength" (Isis. 40:20), A.O.M.
