John 1: 14. THE LESSON 1N ITS SETTING Time, -Autumn, A.D. 29. The Second Epistle of Peter was writ- ten somewhere near A.D. 65. Place. -Almost certainly on Mt. Hermon, in the northern part of ' Palestine. We do not know where 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 Christ, figuratively or spiritually. Andhis face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as tie light. The light around was more than a .obe put on from the outside. It was an emanation from the fountain of light within. These were. rays that streamed forth from his own nature; and herein is the difference. In the case Stephen.e of Moeec and the dying eared 3. And behold, there app untc them Moses and Elijah talk- ing with him. T hese two men were the representative leaders of the e was the embodiment ii ent of the law,ebrew theoceacee Elijah of the prophets. 4. And Peter answered, 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 was to have . no more glory on that mount than Moses and Elijah were to have. He certainly does not give any pre-eminent place to Christ. Words From Heaven 5. While he was yet speaking, behold,- a bright cloud overshad- owed them. And 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 vole. brought teatirnony to the Lord Jesus: at his baptism (Matt. 3: 17), and to wart. the close of his life, on Sun - 6y before eo(John 2: 2£).apstles could never agree that they heard certain words, at the sante time, and in th:: same place, unless such words were actually utterer'.. Thirty ye:-rs 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, find 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. Bach To The Multitude Matt. 17: 9-13. 9. And as they were conning 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 those to wham 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 tc the multitude, there cainne to Mint a roan, kneeling to him, and sa ying, 15. Lord, have mercy on My son; for he is epileptic, and suffering grievously; for oft -times he falleth into the fr e, and oft - times into the water. 16.. And I hrought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17. And .Jesus answered and said, 0 faith- less and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him ;]zither to me. The disciples hada little faith;. the father believed, and slid not believe. This preval- ence of perverse unbelief made it painful to live amid such a gener- ation, and to suffer or bear with the.rin. 18.2 And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour. No sinner can ever sin- cerely collie to 'Christ but his sin Propaganda Minister Rumored Love Thief" Chancellor Hitler, his Propaganda Minister Goebbels and Frau Goebbels, who acts as Hitler's official hostess, were pictured here in' happier days. 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 anAc- c- tress Lida Baarova. Hitler is reported to be angered by Frau Goebbels is perhaps Germany's most influential woman. People Nowadays Harder To Please Winnipeg Barber Claims That Old -Time Customers Were More Easily Satisfied Edgar Doerr, barber in Winnipeg for 50 years, claims customers of the early days were more easily sa- tisfied than those of the present day -excepting of course, the old- timer with the handle -bar moust- ache, which had to be trimmed just so -or else. Back in 1888 when he came from Perryville, Missouri, where he was born in 1870, it was just ordin- ary hand -clippers for a haircut and a straight razor for a shave. Now the customer has to be swathed in hot towels before and after a shave. The speedy electric clipprs have made the old-time hand clippers al- most obsolete. Most notable of his customers around the turn of the century in- cluded the late Sir Hugh John Mac- dona1d, -Sid Rodmond P. Roblin.. Hon. Thomas Greenway, all former premiers of Manitoba, and Henry M. Stanley, explorer who searched for Doctor David Livingstone, lost iu South Africa. Bis Hobby Was To Hoard Steel "Brace Steel K'ing's" 30 Tons of SteelBlocks Have Gone Under the Hammer More than 30 tons of steel in blocks, and bars offered for sale near Walkerton recently at the aue- tiou of the elects of the late Jos- eph Se'hmidt, known as the "Bruce Steel King" through his eccentri- cities In buying this commodity in large quantities remains unsold as a result of bids ranging no higher than $7 per ton. Refused High Price One bloelt 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 earnings ac- cumulated from his labors as a farm helper and bushman. The amount received by the es- tate apart 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. Japan's search for war -time, substitutes has led to 4,000 inven- tions, ranging from porcelain telephones t' waterproof erns and buckets. Celluloid razor blades and summer hats were among articles displayed at a Tokio exhibit.

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known 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 ane, glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory. This is nay beloved Son in whom I 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 prea.chcd Christ for mare 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 clanger of departing from the faith, through persecution,ethat 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 hint unswervingly persuaded that Christ was the true Redeemer and the Son of God.

The child weighs 88 pounds and is still putting on weight rapidly. lie has gamed 42 pounds in the last year. 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 band at churning time or that good butler 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 been 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 barn immediately after milking to the separator. Remove cream immediately after separation to a clean, sweet smelling, well ventilated place and cool thorough- ly. The cooling prevents the growth of bacteria that are in the milk and therefore keeps it flavor and condition good. It should be cooled to below 50 degrees Fahren- heit and held at that temperature until ripening time or delivery. •''re Y® ", Listerthg? mow, By FREDDIE TEE Del King, whose voice is heard on \; W's "Avalon Tirne" broad- casts for an NBC network Satur- days at " p. m., EST, is a veteran of 11 years in radio, but he hasn't been annuonc i n g all those years.
