To the People
of this Community
YOU CAN AFFORD IT
You can afford to buy Extra War
Bonds during this Fourth War Loan
Drive,
Everyone in this community
knows incomes are higher than
earners—and everyone knows that
Increases in wages and salaries
have far outstripped rising prices,
and increased taxes. You can afford
to buy Extra War Bonds.
As a matter of fact, you can’t
afford NOT to Buy Extra War
Bonds. If you spend your money
for needless, scarce goods, you are
increasing prices ... if you want
to help win the war you can't af
ford NOT to buy War Bonds. If
you want to help that boy in the
service, you can’t afford NOT to
buy Extra Bonds and if you want a
gilt-edged investment for your own
future security, you can’t afford
NOT to buy Extra War Bonds.
Don’t just do the expected—buy
All the Bonds you can.

JESUS ON THE MOUNTAIN
AM) IN THE VALLEY
LESSON TEXT- Mark 9:2-8. 17 27
GOLDEN TEXT—I believe: help thou mine
unbelief.—Mark 9:24.
The vision of the mountain top
' prepares the believer for service
! down in the valley. “Where there is
j no vision the people perish,” said the
I wise man of old (Prov. 29:18). For
\ want of a true vision of God, a
j knowledge of His truth, and the God
| given constraint which makes men
j give themselves in sacrificial serv
| ice, the people will perish in their
I sins.
But let men come to know the
truth as it is in Christ, learn to know
Him as the Son of God glorious
and powerful, and then let them
translate their knowledge of Chris
tian truth and their personal spiritu
al experiences into the daily minis
try to the needs of their fellow men,
and there will be songs of salvation
and joy.
I. Knowing (vv. 2-7).
The transfiguration of Christ
doubtless meant much to Him in
preparation for His coming death
and resurrection. It was a fore
gleam of His kingdom glory.
In this lesson we are concerned
with the experience of the disciples
rather than the feelings of our Lord.
Fundamental in both Christian life
and service is a clear understanding
of the person and work of Christ.
One may come to Christ knowing
little more than that He is the di
vine Saviour, and one may enter
into Christian living with a meager
knowledge of the doctrines of the
Bible. But the Christian who fails to
grow in knowledge will not grow in
grace as he should.
God sets no premium on igno
rance, in fact it is quite evident that
the great blight on the Christian
church today is the appalling lack
of understanding of God’s Word.
The disciples came to a fuller con
viction that He was the Son of God
as they saw Him transfigured and
heard the Father say, “This is my
beloved Son.” They learned more
plainly the truth of His coming death
for the sins of all mankind. They
saw in the indescribable beauty of
that moment the foregleam of His
coming glory. What important truths
these are—His deity—His redemp
tion—His coming kingship. Do we
have a clear grasp of these truths?
If not, let us Search the Scriptures.
11. Growing (v. 8).
“Jesus only.” Ho filled their
vision and their hearts. They had
made spiritual progress as they had
soon His glory and heard the com
mending voice of the Father.
Great experiences of spiritual re
newing and power are necessary to
effective life and testimony. They
may not be in outward manifesta
tion, in fact they are more often in
the inner recesses of the soul; but
they transform men and send them
forth to magnificent living for God.
One wonders if much of (he dearth
of power in the Christian church is
not to be attributed directly to the
lack of such experiences with God.
The disciples had an unforgettable
mountaintop experience. Even so
have many others found the secret
of power.
Let us remember that such privi
leges are not reserved for a few.
they arc th»* birthright of every
Christian. Power without knowledge
is a dangerous and destructive thing,
but knowledge without power is a I
dead thing.
Let us study God's Word, but let '
the truth be baptized in the over- i
flowing spiritual power of a personal 1
experience with God.
In regeneration all that Christ is
and has for us is made available.
If we have not taken out our inheri
tance let us do it at once.
111, Serving (vv. 17-27).
One of the lessons that seems hard
lo learn and to keep constantly ef
fective in the life of a Christian is
that mountaintop experiences of
spiritual uplift are not an end in
themselves, but a preparation for
service. All too often we come to
regard such times of peculiar bless
ing, whether in the privacy of our
own room or in the great confer
ence of Christian workers, as some
thing which should glow warmly in
our own hearts, making us glad in
the Lord, and not as a preparation
for ministry to others.
Jesus and the disciples went up
| to the place of prayer, into the place
I Df glory, and down to the place of
J service. How fitting is that se
j quence.
Much confusion exists in the
; church because those who have fool
shly abandoned God’s Word and
substituted the energy of the flesh
for spiritual power have been most
diligent in service to humanity;
while those who know and accept
the truth about Christ, and who pro
fess to believe in the power of the
Spirit-filled life, have failed to serve
their needy neighbors.
’’But Jesus took him by the hand
j and lifted him up” (v. 27). Verses
28 and 29 indicate that the disciples
! might have done the same by be
, lieving prayer.
