Three Mountain Men Meet On Peak Os Significance Modern Meanings of Rendezvous on Mount of Transfiguration — Today’s Cosmetics Without Inner Beauty — Vision and Service.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Three mountain men once held a rendezvous on the heights. Each had associated his name with a particular mountain. Moses was the man of Sinai, Mountai of the Law; Elijah was the man of Carmel, the Mountain of the prophet; and Jesus was the Man of Olivet, the Mountain of the Gospel. Although they lived ages apart, they came together for a conference on the Mount of Transfiguration, doubtless Hermon, the sublimest of all the peaks of he Holy Land. What brought them together, in defiance of time and the other natural laws’ The elder representaives of Godt not only had to cross the centuries, but they also had to cross the timeless, spaceless chasm that divides the living from the dead. Something more than the congenial contemporaneousness of all rare spirits, which permits high soults to hold fellowship with heir affiliuities throughout all the ages, brought together these three, who themselves were as mountain peaks in the world s spiritual landscape. The Topic of the Talk No ordinary theme could command such a conference. If the laws of nature were thus to be set at naught, there must have been some overwhelming reason for it. The topic of the talk on Hermon’s height is not left to the imagination; else we might even suppose it to be the silly and stupid banalities that are produced in spiritualistic seances. No; the conversation dealt with a subject altogether important enough to call back Moses and Elijah (with personalities unchanged and recognizable) from the realms of glory. That subject, vrfhiVh was the talk of heaven before it ever engaged tongues on earth, was the approaching passion and death of Jesus Christ. Scaling the Spirit's Heights Even as explorers attempt again and again to surmount Everest, earth's tallest peak, so the human spirit seeks to scale new heights Ours is an intellectually strong one. There is need for us to be reminded that the Mount of Transfiguration is one of the loftiest possible to mortal spirit; and that when it is attained a cross is found planted there. Anybody who climbs to the altitude where Moses and Elijah and Jesus met. will find himself confronting the mystery of the sacrificial death of the Son of God. Love's supreme conception which is sacrifice for salvation, commands the though of all who attain the greatest heights. There, too, will be found a meeting and a mingling of the lives and ideals of earth's greatest, and the clear revelation of heaven's will. Transfiguration is for spirits that toil up to the mountain toft As the startled disciples learned, there were greater possibilities in Jesus than they had ever dreamed. So also here are potentialities of transformation in even he least of us mortals. This is the truth that shines in the splendor of Hermon's snowy crest, defying the crass materialism of our pseudo-scientific thinking. Man is a spirit, with possibilities of radiance as yet unreached. This capacity for godliness for spiritual illumination and for chai-acter-transfiguration, is the sign of citizenship in heaven. There is more to every one of us than even our closest and dearest have ever glimpsed. Why, then, do we so seldom our footsteps toward mountains of transfiguration, where we may meet kindred souls on the level of our highest potentialities? Consider Cosmetics While threading a crowded city street 1 was mulling over this exhilarating theme of the Transfiguration, and the application suddenly flashed upon me, ‘‘Why are *♦♦*♦♦*’* ♦The Sunday School Lesson for April 24 is “Receiving Vision for Service.” —Mark 9.210. »»♦♦»**•*

j there so few shining faces in this | crowd?" Then I watched with deI pressing results. For peace’s ser- ; ene and spiritual glow of countenance was rare. Os cosmetics from ' the drug stores —hideous, Chinesey powderings and paintings and pluckings — there was a pitiable planty; but of the radiance that ; represents the outward shining of an inner light, there was almost none. According to the commentaries, I the very texture of the Lord's be- ' ing was altered, with a glistening [ whiteness, like the likhtning's I flashing or a celestial glow. Thtt i is the beauty which we covet for I all of ourselves: the very glory of , God wrought into the fibre of bej ing. Shining saints, disciples who irradiate the liyht of God, are more needed today than any further organization or money or propaganda. The "beauty of holiness’ is the best possible advertisement of the Gospel. As we plead for this peace that the world cannot give or take away or conceal, we recall the significant words of our Lesson text: “As He was praying, the fashion of His countenance was altered.” Prayer does change faces and things. Sleepyheads Who Saw Wonders Closest of all mankind to Jesus were the three, Peter James and John—yet how far away from Him in reality! After the climb up the steep sides of Mt. Hermon, these friends were weary and drowsy. Nevertheless, they did, by struggling. keep from slumber. In spite of their sleepy-headedness they kept their eyes open, and were suddnly prodded wide awake by a sight of the glory. Out of the cloud of mystery came to the befuddled disciples the clear words of testimony, “This is my Son, my Chosen; hear ye Him!” In called Jesus "Son”; and Jesus alstartling antiphony, God always ways called God “Father." Each attested the other. The best that Jehovah could say of Jesus was that He was the beloved Sou; the best that Jesus could say of Jej hovah was that He was a heavenly Father. That is one of the mess- | ages of the mountain. Transports cannot last, else they would not be transports. The cloud and the comrades and the confirmation disappeafed; and the disciples found themselves left alone with their leader. All else may dei part —vision, rapture, feeling—but Jesus abides. And He goes down from the mountain onto the difficult plains with His disciples.
