the three intended to immediately
tell their comrades of the glorious
spectacle of the transfiguration.
Probably the reason for Jesus
commanding silence about the e\ent
was the fact that they could not re
port the transfiguration with the
proper accuracy and emphasis until
after the resurrection. If they told oi
it now the public would not believe

The Scene
The scene took Jesus, PeteT,
James and- John into the place of
glory. When the appointed 1 place was
reached on the mountain top and
he poured out his fervent prayer he
was transfigured in the presence of
Peter, Jaimes and John. His face
shined as the sun and was more
dazzling than the facial glory of the
others who were transfigured. Even
his raiment showed forth 1 in radiant
splendor and intensified' the splendor
of his person. Moses and) Elijah ap
peared and talked with Jesus. These
men stood for the two chief worthies
of the old dispensation. Moses stood
for the law. Elijah for the prophets.
It is a bit singular that the trans-
lgured Lord' with his celestial visi
tors should stand together to discuss
one of the themes of the crucifixion,
This was, .we think, done to
strengthen the soul of the Lord for
the unspeakable suffering that he
was to undergo on Calvary.
Peter, James and' John seem to
have been asleep and when they
awakened- they beheld the sublime
spectacle of the glorified Lord and
the two -men at his side. What a
glorious privilege it was for these
three apostles to beho-ld' this celes
tial spectacle. Bait, alas! Almost too
soon the heavenljj spectacle was van
ishing. They were perfectly willing
to remain on the mountain top and
not return to the hard realities of
life below, but this was too good to
Miss I last. This was heaven itself and
they were not yet prepared to en
ter-it for they had never made their
departure from the earthly life.
Peter now proposes to erect three
tabernacles; one for Jesus, one for
Moses and one for Elijah. Peter did
not fully realize the significance ol
his proposal or the effect it would

scene enacted on Calvary, the light
of blest, the glory of the transfigura
tion shines forth and shines over a!l
the world.
In conclusion, we would 1 say with
the poet:
Now Jesus tarried ’round these coasts
Till six days passed away;
Then he took Peter, James and John
Up into a mount to pray. |
Aq-d as -he -prayed his face was
changed,
And shining as the sun;
His raiment 'became white as snow,
When glistening at noon.
And while he -thus transfigured stood
In his a-postles’ sight
They suddenly beheld two meat,
Appear with him in. light.
( Twas Moses, -andi Elijah who
-Talked feelingly with him
About the death he must endure
Soon at Jerusalem.
Then Peter spoke, his heart was full
Of holy love and fear;
Lord 1 he said it is good for us
To dwell forever here.
Let us three talberna ries build,
The first shall be for Thee,
One be for Moses, .man of God
One for Elias be.
He spoke his heart’s sincere desire
But ere the words were said,
A bright cloud overshadowed them,
And covered every head.
From the cloud a voice was heard
This is my Son beloved,
In whom I am well please 1, hear him
If ye would be approved.
When the desciples heard the voice,
They fell upon their face,
Overcome by fear and sore dismay,
In that most awful place.
And Jesus touching each one, said;
“Arise and do not fear’
When they looked around they saw
No one but Jesus near.
As they came down, from the Mount
He bade them not disclose,
What they had 1 seen and heard that
day,
Till from the dead He arose.
And they obeyed, and of that scene
No word to others said;
But among themselves inquired what
meant
The rising from the dead.

ed. The very fact that they were
the presence of the Father with the
visible and audible manifestations of
his power and glory, and the con
sciousness of their own weakness
fitted them with -solemn-itv. They
were so awed or scared that they
fell down on their faces. The next
thing they were aware of was Jesus
touching them and 'saying to them,
“Arise, and) be not afraid.” They
arose and when they stood u^ the
celestial visitors were gone" and
heavenly voices were heard no more.
They were standing there with Jesus.
Coming Down from the
Mountain
The trip down 1 the 'mountain- took
Jesus and the apostles to the place
of service. On ithe mountain they had
beamed down upon the glory of
heaven, but down in the valley
awaiting them were the remainder of
the desciples, multitudes in need;
hard work hatreds and even death.
Yet they had 1 to descend the moun
tain for the path of glory leads
through the dark valleys.
Tthe vision of Peter, James and
John had been on the misty -mountain
top and they had to descend' to the
valley below. As they were descend
ing the mountain Jesu-s told Peter,
James and John to remain rflenr
about what they had seen. Wen
