John 1: 14. • THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. -Autumn, A,D. 20. 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 hint 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. And his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the 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 of Mases and the dying Stephen. 3. And behold, there appeared tante them Moses and Elijah,talk- ing with him. T hese two men were the representative leaders of the Hebrew theocracy. Moses was the embodiment of the law, Elijah of the prophets. 4. And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to he here: if thou wilt, I will 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 eland, saying, This is my beloved San, in whom I am well pleased. On two other occa- sions a supernatural voic. brought testimony to. the Lorcl Jesus: at his baptism (Matt. 3: 17), and to - warn the close of his life, on Sun- day before the passover (John 12: 28). Three apostles could never agree that they heard certain words, at the same time, and in the same pla::e, unless such words were actually utterer'. 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. G. 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. Bach 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 those to W110111 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, there came to him a man, kneeling to hien, and saying, 15. Lord, have mercy an my son; for he is epileptic, and :suffering grievously; for oft -times he falleth into the fire, and oft- times into the water. 16, And I brought hila 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 hither to tae. 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 litn: and the boy was cured from that hour. No sinner can ever sin- •cerely conte to Christ but his sin Propaganda Master Rumor A "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, Acs' tress Lida Baarova. Hitler is reported to be angered by the scandal,; 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 - tinier 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 .I-lugh. J'o11n 147:ap- donald, Sid Redmond 1'.' Roblin, Hon.

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 ana glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory. This is any beloved Son in whom I am well pleased: 1S. 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 the true Redeemer and the Son of Cod. Japan's search for war -time substitutes has led to 4,000 inven- tions, ranging from porcelain telephones t' waterproof csus and buckets.

His Hobby Was To Hoard Steel "Bruce Steel King's" 30 Tons of Steel Blocks Have Gone Under the Hammer More than 30 tons of steel in blocks and bars offered 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 o1 bids ranging 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, 82,000, 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. Handling Cream After Separation Remove to Clears, 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 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.
