SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Nov. 23, 1924 The Transfiguration Luke 9:28-36
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Gohlen Text: "This is uij Son, my
chosen: hear ye Him." Luke !>:3!l
The conversation which followed
Petar’s confession was calculated to
have a very sobering effect upon the
disciples. It was not pleasant to
think that their Master, to whom
they were devoted, would have to
suffer many things as He had told
them, amt to be killed at Jerusalem.
No wonder, Peter, speaking only as
a man, should have urged Jesus to
spaer Himself and to stay away from
jerusaj«m ir that was what going
there was going to mean.
Nor was the balance of His words
any less sobering when He sat before
them such rigid restrictions as to dis
cipleship as denying self utterly
leaving all, putting self to death, etc.
We have no record of the six in
tervening days—they must have been
* days of depression, though, days dur
ing which there was a very solemn
hush over the whole group. The ef
fect was great, though, for it drove
Jesus to prayer. After six days—
Luke says eight, including in his ac
count the day of the confession and
the day of the transfiguration as well
—Jesus took Peter and James and
John with Him and went up into
the mountain to pray. These three
were the nearest to Him of the
twelve, the inner circle who seemed
to get closest to His fellowship, not
because they were different or better,
but because of His choice.
“And as He prayed,” they went to
sleep. These men who had been tak
en by Him to be company for Him in
His prayers, to enter with Him in His
praying, to give to Him the human
companionship of which He felt the
need in this hour of crisis—they
failed him; they went to sleep!
BiSt “as He prayed” the fashion of
His countenance “because different,’’
so says Luke. Matthew and Mark
use another word —was “metamor
phosed,” they say. They use the word
which describes to us what happens
when the grub worm becomes the
beautiful butterfly. Even His rai
ment became white and glistening,
whiter than any laundry soap can
make it, whiter than the snow as it
reflects the rays of the sun. Luke
again uses a word which describes
the lightning—how blinding it is in
its brilliancy as it flashes out of the
darkness! It must have been this
which waked up these sleeping dis
ciples. They saw His glorious ap
pearance, and also saw two men
standing with Him, who reflected His
glory. These two men were talking
with Him, and the subject of their
conversation, which they heard, was
His “exodus” which He was about to
accomplish in Jerusalem The men
were easily recognized as men; there
was nothing which suggested angel c
appearances or heavenly visitors.
They were just men, but men who
<■ reflected His glory. And Peter rec
ognized them, although he had never
seen either of them before. One had
been dead, it turns out, about 1,500
years; and the other had disappeared
in a whirlwind amid the accompani
ment of chariots and horses ot five
900 years before, and diligent search
by his friends had resulted in a fruit
less effort to find his body. He knew
Moses and he knew Elijah, and was
so carried away with the glory of it
that —outspoken and impulsive as he
always was —he proposed to build
three tabrnacies, like David s taber
nacle, one for Jesus, one for Moses,
and one for Elijah. His idea was that
of worship. Moses held the highest
place in the mind of every Jew; and
since Elijah had disappeared a place
for him had been set at every Jew s
table, expecting that he would return
at any time; and seeing this glorious
appearance of Jesus, Peter proposed
that He, too, should have a place m
their worship now.
But as he said this a cloud en
> Veloped them, a “bright” cloud, says
Matthew. And as they entered the
cloud they were afraid; the bril
liancy of it frightened them. They
had been accustomed to dark clouds;
they had never seen anything like
the brightness of this one, for it had
disappeared from the holy of holies
just before the destruction of Jeru
salem, just 600 years before, and had
not been seen since. It was the
Shekinah, the manifestation of the
j Presence of God Himself. No won
der they were afraid as they entered
this cloud. The' people at Sinai had
shrunk from it. The high priest
alone could see it, and that only once
a year, and even then only when he
bore the blood of the sacrifice, the
blood of atonement. And they were
just common people, and without
the blood of the atonement.
Nor was their fear lessened when
they heard the voice of God speak
ing, “This is my Son, my chosen;
hear ye Him.” They fell on their
faces, and when the cloud lifted,
M Jesus touched them and said: Arise,
be not afraid. And they arose, but
saw no man save Jesus!
Peter's plan was not God's plan.
He wanted to give Jesus an equal
place in their worship with Moses
and Elijah. Gods plan is that He
alone shall be heard and worshiped.
Peter's plan was to stay there and
enjoy such fellowship and worship.
God's plan was for them to go down
into the valley where the epileptic
boy was, and to Jerusalem, where
the cross was to be placed. Peter's
plan was to have another great, hero
» —Moses the lawgiver, Elijah the
prophet, of judgment on the broken
law. and Jesus the teacher and
healer. God's plan was the fulfilling

of the law by rhe lisp of .n'-in.g. and
removal of the curse of rxxe Law by
the death of Jesus; but Jesus only.
Therefore the voice: Tnis is my
Son, my chosen; hear ye Him.
It is interesting to note that this
testimony of the Father to the Son
came at His baptism when He was
about, to begin His public ministry
as the Servant or Prophet of Jeho
vah. and now again at His transfig
uration when He is about to enter
through JI is death at Jerusalem His
larger ministry as our Priest-King as
He takes His exodus from Jerusalem
and enters into heaven to intercede
for us.
This sight and this voice made an
indelible impression on the minds of
these three disciples. James was be
headed and left us no record'; but
Peter and John both mention it in
their letters. 2 Peter 1:16, 17, 18,
and John 1:14 and I John 11-3. Pe
ter says that he was an eyewitness
to His majesty, and heard the
Father's voice when He gave Him
honor and glory; the voice which
came to Him from the supreme —
literally supreme proper—glory,
which he heard when he was with
Him in the holy mount. John says
that He beheld His glory, that He
was full of grace and truth: that
he beheld His life which had been
from the beginning with’ the Father
and which was manifested to them.
Ah! but the joy of it is that not
only shall we, too, one day see the
King in His beauty, but we shall
be like Him when we see Him as
He is! “Beloved, now are we the
sons of God, and it doth not yet ap
pear what we shall be; but we know
that when We shall be manifested
we shall be like Him, for we shall
see Him as He is.”
That group was an answer to a
statement He had made to them at
the close of that conversation six
days before. He had made the cost
of discipleship very great but He
had closed by saying, “There be
some standing here that shall not
taste of death till they see the Son
of Man coming in His kingdom.”
Or, as Mark put it, “till they have
seen the Kingdom of God come with
power.” Or, as Luke, “till they see
the kingdom of God.” Now, just six
days later this is fulfilled; Peter and
James and John are the “some.”
And the spirit of God speaking
through Peter’s pen sets at nought
all speculation as to His meaning
when he writes: We have not fol
lowed cunningly devised fables when
w e made known unto you th e power
and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but were eyewitnesses of
His majesty. His niajesty-a-a term
used only of royalty,’ of 'kings and
kingdoms.
And that scene was typical of the
kingdom which we are looking for
every day, when Jesus shall come
again in the body of His glory (no
longer in the body c f His humilia
tion), when Moses and the saints
who have died shall be present, and
Klijah and those who are caught up
without dying (1 Cor. 15:51, 52 and
1 These. 4:13-17) to meet Him in the
air, and saints-in-the-making on
earth like Peter and James and
John were then shall all have their
i espective places. Lord, hasten that
day!
t . T , here was onp othei * thing about
that scene, that outstanding- ex
perience in the'life of Jesus, that
grips us. Jt was the topic of con
versation between Moses and Eli
jah and Jesus. Coming from the
glory to meet Him naturally they
would talk about the most important
t ’ n the heavens and earth.
And what other thing could that be
but His death, which was about to
take place at Jerusalem? His “exo
iV'T’ ' the WOr d is in the Greek
what a flood of thought and mem
ory. Moses remembered the exodus
i which set the captive people free
and brought them into the land of
promise. And this was what His
<ieath at Jerusalem would do—it
would set free captives and bring
them into the land of promise. It
would .set Him free and bring Him

Gis departure from Jerusalem
would result in His return to His
rightful place, the place of exalta

Yes. His death was the most im

course, that would be the topic of
I conversation!
And it still is the most important
topic of conversation, it is the cen

Dear Children:—
1 wonder if you have been reading. ,
or hearing read, the description and
causes of the terrific forest fires }
that have been raging in our coun
try.
The brave men in charge, of the
stations overlooking the forest re
serves state that practically all of
these fires may be traced to the
carelessness 'of people tramping
through the woods, lighting ciga
rettes or pipes or camp fires and
throwing lighted matches in leaves |
and brush.
I. can hear you saying, “My good
ness, Aunt Julia is saying the same
thing right over again.” Yes, J am,
and doing it on purpose. Just sup
pose the woods around you caught
on fire. I don’t like to think of that,
and just think of all the helpless lit
tle woods creatures that perish in |
these fires, to say nothing of the
necessary timber that is lost. When- >
ever it is necessary for you to light |
a match or fire in the woods bear
these things in mind and do not leave!
any fire or smoldering ember behind
you.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins; Won't yon
please let two Georgia girls join your band?
We have been reading with pleasure the
letters that you cousins write, and decided
we would try our luck. Hope we will be
admitted. Our father has been taking The
Journal for a long time and we think it
the grandest paper there is. The letters
are real interesting, especially those that
take a subject. We notice that lots of i
you write about your “ideal,” but we won’t i
describe ours for wa're afraid we will never |
find him. We'll not write on any subject
for we might not do it justice. If we
were to ; it would be on “My Greatest Am
bition.” Guess all of you cousins have
some ambition in life and we would lie
glad for you to discuss it in the Letter
Box. No doubt you are wondering just
who we are. We are two country girls
who are the greatest of chums and try to '
make the most of life. We are lovers of [
all kinds of flowers, ami for pastime we j
read and play music. We have read lots
of good books. Some of our favorite books
are: “Little Women,” “When a Man’s a
Man, ’ “Desert Gold,” “Treasure Island”
and others, I, Samantha, am in school and
sure enjoy going. Our father and mother
both are living and we also have several
brothers and sisters. Our sister, Lucile,
has already written to the Letter Box. We
are both members of the Oak Grove Bap
tist church and attend Sunday school every
Sunday we can. J, Julia, am teacher of
the intermediate class, and some of the
happiest hours of my life are those that I
spend with my fine class of boys and girls,
studying God's Word. Our ages are be
tween sixteen and twenty-three. I, Julia,
atn the oldest and my birthday is December
23. Samantha’s is December 21. Almost
the same aren’t, they? We both have brown
hair, (not bobbed), blue eyes and fair com
plexion. Lila Edwards, we guess your age
to be seventeen. Are wo right? Come !

broken Aunt Julia’s rule, but hope she w'il

We have here His blessed word, the Bibb,
teaching us how to live, to comfort us when

with His precious promises. Wo should be
very thankful for health, for the food width
we eat. for good homes, loved ones. Suppose

Into each life some rain must fall, but let’s

Dear Folks: —
Some time ago I wrote you about
thet unbleached muslin napkins with
the line stitched in black about an
inch from the edge and half way
| from the edge to this line fringed out.
Well, I have an aunt visiting me
' now and she tells me of an even
| prettier and more effective way of
I making these tea napkins. She
takes a twelve-inch square of the
cotton, creases a line about an inch
above the edge, not more, she then
fringes the edge and last stitches
around the napkin on her creased
line. She puts black silkateen on her
bobbin and number sixty white cot
ton on top. This makes a distinct
black line and with a small basket
of gay posies in the corner of the
napkins makes just as fetching a
I piece of table linen as you need.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Mrs. R. T.:— ”
You can take a. square loaf of
bakers’ bread, cut slices two inches
thick, with your round biscuit cutter
cut out the centers, being careful
not to go all the way through. Toast
these and fill with creamed oysters,
, chicken or any nice meat filling. Os
I course the patty cases are a little
I more dressy, but you will find this
service botn attractive and palatable.
Bobbed: —
If you will have the hair you had
cut off made into a small switch,
just enough to make an eight twist,
pin your growing out hair to your
j head at your neck line, pin on this
I switch and put on a net it will he
hardly possible to tell that your hair
has been cut. I did not know that
any employer this day and time ob
jected to bobbed hair.
Bazar:—
If you will take two cups of brown
sugar, moisten with four tablespoons
of hot water, put on to boil and allow
to boil four minutes, stirring con
stantly, take from the fire, beat un
til it starts to cool, then add a small
amount of vanilla extract and half
a cup of small nut meats, beat until
it begins to cream and drop by the
tablespoon on a lightly greased mar
ble or platter, you will have a de
licious candy for your bazar. Two
pounds of brown sugar and a cup
j and a half of nut meats makes a
bountiful supply. It is a good plan
to test your sugar on a saucer, put»
ting your saucepan off the fire, to
find if it creams before pouring up.
Mary Lizzie:—■
You can buy soft silver ribbon and
use it for a band around your bobbed
head for evening wear. Most of the
girls are wearing these about two
inches broad at the front and tied
in a small bow just at the nape of
the neck in the‘back.
John T:—
Even for informal evening dress I
like a. white shirt best, and with a

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE

Which One of Three Girls Shall He
Marry? How Can an Affectionate
Wife Inject More Enthusiasm
Into Her Husband’s Lovemak
ing?—How to Cure a Case
of Infatulation
DEAR MISS nix—l have three
girls and. do not know which
one, to marry. The first one
I like fairly well, but she doesn’t
seem to care whether I like her or
not; neither does she seem to care
whether I go to
see her or not.
T h e second
one is of a dif
ferent nature.
She corners me
every chance she,
gets, and tries
to get invited to
every dance or
party where I
am likely to be.
The third one
tells me that she
loves me most
sincerely, and
always asks me
to come and see
Z* ■ ’’ !
i
wRi.t..... , smwgw xisaiMUlV
her.
Well, I seem to care a little for
them all and haven’t the nerve to
refuse any one, so which one would
you advise me to hold?
TROUBLED V. L.
Answer:
Yours is, indeed, a sad, sad story,
mate. It must be terrible to have
such an embarrassment of the riches
of affection that you cannot decide
which treasure to take. Moreover,
the tragic part of it is that which
ever lady you select you will be vir
tually certain to wish you had taken
the other one.
If I were you I would take a good,
nerve tonic and bolster up my cour
age to refuse them all, and wait until
some lady came along who I would,
know was IT and concerning my af
fection for whom I would have no
doubt.
However, as between the three
candidates for your heart and hand,
whose claims you have submitted to
me, I cast my vote for number
three.
Number one I eliminate. She ap
parently does not care for you, noi
have you any real affection for her.
She merely piques your pride be
cause she is the standoffish kind,
the only one Avho has resisted your
charms and whom you have not
brought dOAvn with your bow and
arrow.
Number two you would tire of be
cause is too easy. Love is like
a pudding. We only crave it when
we are hungry for it. If we have
no appetite for it, it is nothing but
a gooey, saccharine mess that cloys
on our palate and has no more at
traction for us than a mush poultice
would have.
That is why a man never loves a
woman Avho loves him too much; and '
if he marries a woman who has pur- j
sued him, he always feels that he is
a. captured animal, held in durance
vile and domesticated against his
will.
Number three seems to strike the
happy medium. She blows neither
too hot nor too cold. She is neither
too anxious nor too coy. She is
evidently one of the sort who can
either take a. man or leave him
alone, and that kind generally have
discretion enough to keep their hus
bands interested until the end of the
chapter.
But don’t marry any girl for whom
you only “care a little.” It takes
lots of love to stand thirty or forty
years of matrimony.
Dear Miss Dix—l adore my hus
band, and hs» loves me. He is a good
husband; but I have to take it for
granted that he loves me, and I hun
ger for tenderness. He is never en
thusiastic over me unless I go away
on a trip, which is very seldom on
account of our circumstances. lam
afraid that my real pleasure in go
ing is the coming back and his mak
ing a fuss over me.
Now, even when I prod and cajole
my husband into lovemaking, he al
ways does it in the same fashion un
til I am tired of it and think to my
self that where there is such a little
bit of lovemaking he might inject a
little bit more pep into it. It just
seems that he cannot be affectionate,
bless him! And I cannot be content

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1921
without it, bless me! What shall we
do? ONE WHO AGREES.
Answer: It is always more or less i
of a tragedy when a sentimental i
woman marries a prosaic man, be
cause she is always demanding of
him something that he cannot give.
She asks for bread, and he gives her
a stone, and she is not practical
enough to see that the stone is very
often a diamond of the first water.
For the man who cannot gush,
whose tongue i£ so tied by nature
that it cannot say the pretty things
women love, nor pay the compli
ments they adore, the man who has
no words with which to plumb the
depths of the love that fills his soul,
very often has a thousandfold more
affection and tenderness for his wife
than the glib talker who jollies a
woman along and who covers up his
selfishness under the flatteries.
In matrimony, it is deeds that
count, not words, and as long as a
man works like a dray horse to give
his wife luxuries, and never finds
fault with her, she may safely trust
in his devotion, no matter if he is as
dumb as an oyster.
Unfortunately, however, the senti
mental wife cannot see the matter in
this light. She isn’t satisfied to
know that her money is in the bank.
She wants to see it, and handle it,
and count it, and have visible evi
dence every day of how rich she is.
And this being the case, it seems
to me that her husband might con
quer his own dumbness for the sake
of making her happy. He might
make it a rule to tell her every day
that in every way she was getting
younger and prettier, and that he
loved, her better, and would certain
ly commit suicide upon her grave if
she died.
It would be a little thing to do to
give so great a happiness. But when
a wife asks that a tired business man
should, make love in a new way to
the wife to whom he has been mar
ried for years and years she is ask
ing too much. It is an utter impos
sibility. He lacks the technique of a
Romeo. He possesses no fifty-seven
varieties of lovemaking. He was not
born with honey phrases in his
mouth and by no possible study can
he acquire them.
Os course, it is a blighting disap
pointment to every wife that her
husband doesn’t make love like a
matinee hero, and that he doesn’t
pour sizzling words of devotion in
her ear and clutch her to his bosom
with a fervor that loosens her back
hair. But it is well for her to re
flect that this artistry is only achiev
ed by long practice, and that the
man who is a naturally gifted lover
keeps his hand in by practicing it on
every woman he meets.
Sometimes a woman doesn’t know
when she is well off, and it seems to
me that the wife who has a husband
who chokes on his Adam’s apple
when he tries to be sentimental
should thank God for her lot and let
it go at that. »

Dear Miss Di±—l am the mother
of a boy 18 years of age who is in
fatuated with a woman ten years his
senior. She encourages him in ev
ery way and refuses to give him up,
and no amount of reasoning will
keep him away from her. What
shall I do? UNHAPPY MOTHER.
Answer: Quit pleading with him.
Treat the matter as a. joke and ridi
cule his lady love. Boys of that age
, cannot, stand being made fun of.
Get his boy and girl friends to joke
him about being the victim of a cra

girl of his own age as an antidote.

EfISYTD MAKE HENS LAY,
SUS POULTRY EXPERT
Simple Home Method Doubles and
Triples Egg Production During
Moult and Winter Months
Mr. R. A. Lynn, the widely-known
poultry specialist, says there is no reason
why poultry raisers should not get two
or three times as many eggs during file
moult and winter as they do.
Mr. Lynn says the reason hens loaf
during the moult and winter is because
certain elements are missing in the feed
at this time of year which are needed to
keep the generative organs in a healthy
laying condition.
Last winter more than fifty thousand
poultry raisers proved that Mr. Lynn is
right in asserting fiat the missing ele
ments can be supplied by simply adding
certain mineral elements to the fowls’
drinking water, thus insuring a. plentiful
supply of eggs at highest prices. Many
who used Mr. Lynn’s system reported get
ting two and three times as many eggs
as ever before. For instance, Mrs. I-'.
Caston, well-known Texas poultry raiser,
writes: “Mr. Lynn’s system and secret
mineral compound sure makes them lay.
Instead of getting no eggs, I now get 17
to 20 eggs a day from 24 hens.”’
Mr. Lynn is glad to help all poultry
raisers and will send any reader of this
paper full instructions for using his sys
tem and two regular $L packages of his
secret mineral compound for only $1 and
postage, on 10 days’ free trial.
Don't send any money, hut just your
name and address to U. A. Lynn, 1-12
Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo., and
the two packages will be mailed at once.
You can sell one package to a neighbor
and get your own free, as one package
should be sufficient for your flock. Fur
thermore, after using Mr. Lynn's system
10 days if your hens aren't livelier,
healthier and laying at least twice as
many eggs simply send back the unused
part of the mineral compound and your
money will be returned. This offer is
fully guaranteed and should be accepted
at once by every progressive poultry
raiser.—(Advertisement.)

Farm Relief Bill
Will Not Be Urged, |
Says Senator McNary
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—The
McNary-Haugen farm relief bill
will not be pressed for enactment at
the next session of congress, Senator
McNary, Republican, of Oregon, co
author of the measure, said today
upon his return to Washington.
Senator McNary said he still be- j
lieved in the bill as a fundamental
principle of legislation, but felt that!
the emergency it was designed to
meet had passed. Conditions of dis
tress among farmers had been large
ly relieved, he said, except for the
cattle-raisers who could not be as
sisted by the hill. He predicted that
if the present increased price of
wheat, corn and hogs is maintained
for the next year or two the farmers
will extricate themselves from any
further difficulty.
The Oregon senator declared he
could not agree with those who be-1
lieve the farmer’s salvation lies in
co-operative marketing. Co-operative
marketing, he declared, can be used
successfully only when it applies to
special products, such as the prune
growers and fancy fruit-growers,
where the producers can control the
products and command a market.
As chairman of the senate com
mittee on reclamation and irrigation,
Senator McNary expects to hold
hearings this winter on the Boulder
danj and Columbia river reclamation
projects, but is doubtful whether leg
islation can be enacted any time soon
for the development of these proper
ties. Appropriations for this devel
opment would meet strong opposi
tion, he 'said, because they would
open up large new farm areas which
would add surplus crops.
