Any druggist can supply you with Zemo, which generally overcomes skin diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples, rashes, blackheads, in most cases give way to Zemo. Frequently, minor blemishes disappear overnight. Itching usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe, antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and dependable. It costs onL 35c; an extra large bottle, SI.OO.

SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-Tha ®ory of Jesus Christ. While it Is true that In tuls lesson Ihe disciples are witnesses of Christ’s -lory, tlie full truth is that the manliestation of Christ in glory was to give to the discouraged disciples a foregleaui of the Messianic Kingdom. The hopes of tlie disciples were crushed .then C hrist announced his death on the cross. They were unable to see how victory could issue from death. Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and went into the mountain to pray. His chief aim in retirement was to get tlie disciples apart into a state of receptivity so that he might show them the method of tlie Kingdom. Delore going to the mountain he declared that there were some standing In his presence who would not taste of death till they should see the Son of Mau coming in his Kingdom (Luke 11—7; Mutt. 16:28). That their droopilts, spirits might be revived and their confidence restored. he is transfigured before them. Two men from tlie upper world are sent to converse with him about his approaching death in Jerusalem (v. 31)—the very thltig about which Hie disciples refused to talk, llien, too, God’s own voice was heard in words of approval of Christ s course, ; "'a*- them to bear the Manter. •Surely they cannot doubt his ability now to carry into execution his kingdom plans. The purpose, then, of tlie Inmsfikttriition is to give the disciples »l loieglenm of the coming Kingdom, to enable them to see the Kingdom in embryo. That this is true is not only shown by lhe context ami elretlmsti-.nc-<‘s but by the inspired interpretation of one who was with him and kt ew all that happened. Peter said, ‘‘Tor we did not follow cunningly devised fnbles when we mnde known unto you the power mid coining of our Lord Jesus Christ, hut we were eye witnesses of Itis majesty, for lie received of Ood the Father, honor and glory when there came such a voice to hiui from tfif excellent glory.

out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; w hereunto ye do well that ye take heed, its unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts (2 Peter 1:1G-19 K. V.). To those who believe in the inspiration of tlie Bible these words arc final. Let us therefore note the outstanding features of the Kingdom as displayed In tlie transfiguration. I. Jesus Christ the Glorified King on Mount Zion (v. 29). The glorified King on this Mount was intended to symbolize the Missianic Kingdom when Christ return.'* to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem (Zech. 14:4 17). This is still in the future, and will be literally fulfilled. 11. The Glorified Saints With Christ (vv. 30. 31). 1. Moses, who was once denied an entrance into Palestine, appears now in glory, representing the redeemed of the Lord who will pass through death into lhe Kingdom. Many thousands of the redeemed have fallen asleep and ut tlie coming of rhe Lord shall he awakened to puss into the Kingdom. 2. Elijah, now glorified, represents the redeemed who shall puss into tlie Kingdom through translation. Many shall be living upon tlie earth when the Lord shall come, and shall without dying lie changed and thus pgss into tlie Kingdom (1 Cor. 15:50-53; 1 Th ess. 4;. 14-18). 3. They talk of the very thing which the disciples refused to believe, miiiely, the death of Christ. 111. Israel, in the Flesh, in Connection With the Kingdom, Represented by Peter, James and John (v. 2S). Israel shall be called from tltelr hiding place among all nations of the earth and shall be gathered to Jesus Christ the King, as tlie central people in tbe Kingdom (Ez. 37:21-27). 1. Peter proposes to build three tabernacles (v. 33). The Feast of Tabernacles looked forward to tlie glorious reign of Christ. Peter caught a glimpse of the significance of the transfiguration. His proposition allowed that he thought of tlie Feast of Tabernacles, aud therefore of the Millenium. 2. The divine voice (v. 35). At fids time God himself uttered his words, assuring them that this one in glory was his son Jesus Christ. IV. The Multitude at the Foot pf the Mountain (vv. 37-43). This Is representative of the nations which shall be brought Into Hiq King, dom which shall be established over Israel (see Isaiah 11:10-12). The peo- I pie here were grievously oppressed by the devil. There are times when the devil is especially active in hH op. pressinn of men.

The physical functions are perspiratory and digestive. Any functional disease may materially affect us, and shorten life. But while the seat of the disease may be located in any part of the body, it will never prove fatal until it has reached and affected the very set of life: we do not die where the cause is, but where the heart is. We have spiritual functions corresponding to the physical: faith. works, and worship. "The latter is the seat of spiritual life.” "FAITH ANO WORKS!” There can be no spiritual life without faith, but there may be faith without life. We are also taught that faith without works is dead. And the word further implies that there may be "live faith" which does not produce spiritual life: "though we have faith to remove mountains and have not charity, it profitetn us nothing. We'are commanded to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. I can remember when a very small boy, my gcod old grandmother would have me sit down on a stool in front of her. and then she would place a skein of yarn on my wrists and as she wound the yarn on the ball, it was my business to hold the skein and let the yarn off in proper order.

was to have a pair of nice warm gloves made from this thread would give me some inspiration for the work. But I usually grew tired before the job was completed, and wanted to quit. But while my grandmother did the bulk of the work, she had a queer notion, some how, that I should have seme little part in it myself. She might have placed the hank on the back of a chair, or on the reel made for that purpose. But I think now, that she had a reason for not doing so; she possibly thought the work would do me good, and again, I believe she had that love for me, as her own motherless grand child, that made her enjoy having me near her, and participating in the work. Now how was I to be benefited by our joint labors, of which she did by far the greater part? Simply by the good that I obtained from the gloves or other! articles? No! If that were all, then her labors, and mine, were in vain so far as I am concerned. However much I may have helped her in her labors, and however much they may have meant to me, if I had not that personal devotion to her, for what she really was, my life and character would not have been made any better Even so in nur Christian life, if we have all faith, and do all works, and yet neglect our de-

votional life, we are a failure. Other functions may be weakened, and diseased, but if our devotional life is right “we live.” And the stronger the worship function in us, the more power we have to overcome other functional diseases of our spiritual life. I feel that the great need of definite service in the worid today, will only be met effectively, both to the server and the served, by enlarging the devotional life. The abiding worshiper is the effective servant of Jesus Christ. Those who really worship usually respond to service tc the best of their ability, and a worshipful servant always benefits by his own service. Not all who attend Divine service are worshipers. Many go to be entertained, some for the social benefits: while others go to criticise. These go away no better than when they came. Others go to worship God. and they go away with a light heart and a full soul. No real worshiper ever entertains a bitter feeling for his or he church, or says or does ths unkind things or words. Oratory, instructiin, sociability, and all other beautiful and pleasing things are worthy of our consideration, but the church service wnich fails to have as its chief purpose "worship” is a failure.
