WHAT A LIBRARY
DOES FOR A CITY
1. Completes its educational
equipment, carrying on and giv
ing permanent value to the work
of the schools.
2. Gives the children of all
classes a chance to know and
love the best in literature. With
out a public library such a chance
is limited to the very few.
3. Provides the best equip
ment for the furtherance of adult
education programs.
4. Minimizes the sale and
reading of vicious literature in
the community, thus promoting 1
mental and moral health.
5. Effects a saving in money |
to every reader in the communi- j
ty. Through the library every I
reader in the city can secure at I
a given cost from 100 to 1,000 j
times the material for reading or
study that he could secure by
acting individually.
6. Adds to the material value
of property. Real estate agents
in the suburbs of large cities
never fail to advertise the pres
ence of a library, if there be!
one, as giving added value to the
lots or houses they have for sale.
7. Appealing to all classes,
sects and degrees of intelligence,
it is a strong unifying factor in
the life of a city.

The Bofors anti-aircraft gun is de
signed for greater range and heaviel
calibre than the average anti-air
craft or rapid fire gun. They are
mechanically intricate and more
costly. The two-gun Bofors mount
costs approximately $98,000 while
a Bofors quad-mount runs up to
$140,000.
We want our fighters to have the
f»est equipment possible and your
purchase of War Bonds will help pay
for these guns, giving them an ad
vantage over our enemies. Buy War
Bonds every payday. At least ten

PETER AND JOHN WITNESS
CHRIST’S GLORY
LESSON TEXT—Mark 8:2-8; II Peter
1:16-18.
GOLDEN TEXT—A voice came out of the
j cloud, saying, This Is my beloved Son: hear
him.—Mark 9:7.
Christ is God! The one who comes
to know that truth is ready to follow
Christ, and to make Him known to
I others. The want of such a true con
! ception of the Son of God weakens
our convictions and hinders our use
fulness.
“Where there is no vision, the
people perish,” said the wise man
(Prov. 29:18). For want of a true
vision of Christ as God, and the God
given constraint which makes men
give themselves in sacrificial serv
ice, the people perish in their sins.
Peter and John saw our Lord in
His transfiguration, and the glow of
that experience lighted their entire
life and ministry. The touch of the
supernatural was on these men and
their message—for they had seen
the glory of Christ.
I. The Amazing Glory of the Son
! (Mark 9:2-6).
The transfiguration of Christ is one
I of those wonderfully beautiful and
! deeply spiritual experiences which
I defy analysis or satisfactory de
j scription. Poetry and art have vain
i ly tried to depict it only to become
1 “in fact a confession of the impo
tence of the loftiest art to rise to
the level of the divine” (Van Dyke).
Peter was so dazzled that he could
only suggest that they remain there,
forgetting for the moment that down
in the valley was demon-ridden hu
manity waiting for the divine deliv
erance of the Son of God (see Luke
i 9:37-42).
What took place on the mount can
possibly best be explained as the
outshining of the inner glory of the
Christ. He had laid aside His glory
when He became flesh, but not His
divine attributes as very God. There
in the presence of God and the heav
enly visitors that glory shone
through His humanity and His ap
pearance became dazzling in its
whiteness.
11. The Approving Word of the
Father (Mark 9:7, 8).
A cloud, like the cloud which filled
the Temple of old (J Kings 8:10,11),
covered them, and the Father spoke
out of it words of approval of His
Son.
These words carry “both judg
ment and command; judgment con
cerning Jesus, ‘This is my beloved
Son,’ and command to the disci
ples, ‘Hear ye him’—that is, ‘Listen
to him’ ” (Lesson Commentary.)
John and Peter came to a fuller
conviction that He was the Son of
God as they saw Him transfigured
and heard the words of the Father.
They learned more plainly the fact
that He was God manifest in the
flesh for the redemption of man. They
saw in the indescribable beauty of
that moment a forcglcam of His
coming glory. What important truths
—His deity, His redemption, His
coming kingdom. Have we learned
them as we have beheld His glory?
111. The Assured Faith of the Dis-
S ciplcs (II Pet. 1:16-18).
These words were written by Pe
ter when he was nearly eighty years
of age—about thirty-five years after
the transfiguration. John wrote sixty
years after the event and said, “We
beheld his glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father” (John
1:14).
The one who follows these eye
witnesses in believing in Christ may
share their assurance expressed by
Peter that we do not “follow cun
ningly devised fables” in making
known to the world the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our
faith is built on God’s Word, and
upon such testimony as this by eye
witnesses. Here is real ground for
assured belief in Christ.
Great experiences of spiritual re
newing and power lead to effective
I life and testimony for Christ. They
may not be in outward manifesta
tions, in fact they are most often in
the inner recesses of man’s soul;
but they do transform men and send
them forth to magnificent living for
God. One wonders if much of the
dearth of power in the Christian
Church is not to be attributed di
rectly to the lack of such experi
ences with God.
The disciples had an unforgettable
mountain-top experience. Even so
have many others found the secret
of power. It came to D. L. Moody
1 as he walked down a New York
street, praying in agony, “Deliver
me from myself. Take absolute
sway.” The story of what happened
to him and through him as a sur
rendered instrument in God’s hand
is written large on the pages of
history. Others have had similar
experiences.
Let us remember that such privi
leges are not reserved for a few,
they are the birthright of every
Christian. Power without knowledge
Is a dangerous and destructive thing,
but knowledge without power is a
dead thing, resulting in a stale and
unfruitful orthodoxy that in turn
produces a dreadful and unchristian
religious system.
