the door. He permitted them as earthly
witnesses to learn the source of his
strength, that they might be etrength'eu-
ed to meet coming sorrow by learning
the transforming power of comraunion
with God. There Was no fa,voritiem in
the selection of the three apostles. They
most needed the lessons of that scene.

entering upon the last and most zorrow-

to be his triumph. After the visible
glory WAS passed- and "Jesus only" re-
mained in the' form of a servant, a man

From the summits of glory he must de-

side the town. There were a great
number of prisonere, and many were
sick.
