Join took 1'cUr, John and James (Matthew and Mark mention John last) apart from the other apostles into a high mountain to praj. The plate was probably Mount llrrmon, near the setnu of last li-sim, the loftiest peak In Palestine. Mountains hate cttcn been religious retreats (Kx. xix: a. Matt. v:l; ltev., xi:10). Anciently they vvcic re garded as the dwelling plate ot gods, a super stition originating probably in the feelings of reverence there inspired (Psalm xl: 1). Jesus practiced and enjoined solitary piajer (Mark i 8S, Matt vi: t), hut tin this occasion He set an example ot aso-latc prayer. Perhaps lie desired witnesses (J Cor. xlil: 1), or possibly this was Ills Ideal ot a piajer meeting (Matt, xvilt SO). Tho three selected were livored on other occasions. (Matt, xvls 3T). They represented tluec tj-pea ot character and became leaders of three different phases of Christianity. Each wrote a (iospcl or was associated with a Cosncl writer James with Matthew, Peter with Mark As Luke was under the direction of Paul, who also saw Jesus in His glorified state (1 Cor lv 1), it has been suggested that this was Christ's method of preparing Ills biographers and chief leaders 2. While in prajer tho countenance and apparel of Jesus became white and glisten ing. The original word expressing the change, rendered transfiguration (Matt, xviii: 2), Indl cates that the glory was previously with Jesus. Nothing nan added to Him, but what had been concealed then manifested itself. His real beauty appeared (Isa. xxxlii: 17). Communing with God on other occasions was marked ' by similar though less brilliant displays (Ex. ill: -', xxxir: !)). ILLUSTRIOUS VISITOItS.-l. During this pray- er meeting Moses and Ellas appeared, their forms also lighted up and made beautiful, like the form of Jesus. The first flourished at the beginning, the other in the middle ol the Lcvitl cal dispensation, precteding Jesus by fourteen and nine centuries respectively. Moth had re markablo experiences upon mountains, far dis tant from this place (Ex. xixi 0; 1 Kings xlxi ft), Poth departed tins life in an unusual man ner (Deut, xxxll v; 3 Kings III 11). Their namea were reverently Joined by the later iro phets, as the two foremost characters of the former ti.i ensation (Mai. in 4 S).

Prior to the trans figuration the apostles fell asleep (cr.c ..J) Hence, some have Inferred that it was night time Put the slumber maj have been in duced by supernatural influent es, as on other occasions of Plvlne piesenco (Gen. 11: 21 j Dan vlil: 18; Matt, xxvt: 41). Put thej awoke in tunc to see Jesus in the glory whlth He had taken on (Kx. xxxill: IS; Isa. Ix; 1; John 1: 14, xv ii: 24), also to seo Mosea and Ellas, prnbablj to heir the latter part of their conversation How they were recognized we dre not informed 1 he apostles had missed much, as sleepy ( lirls tuns dn who enter a meeting at a late hour '.' vtvakening In tho midst of this uneaithlv splendor, Teter cried out, "It Is good for us to lie hen-," and proposed, with Christ's approval, to make three tabernacles, one for Him and one tor each guest. This was the spontaneous out burst of enthusiasm and bewilderment. He tie sired to prolong tho visit and the blessing (Palm iv 6; hill: 2i). Put the proposition was im proper Jesus might have answered Peter .is He did previously (Mitt, xvl: 23) Vnfortunite man! He was a dull pupil In Chrl.t'a school, peaking when he might ITelter have been silent, and cherishing feelings out of harmony with his Vlaster's plain. This was not the time for heavenly rest, but for labor and sacrifice. Light data before Jesus bad declared hU sufferings and death, Moses and Kllas have affirmed tho same And yet tho tlsheinun apostle would build booths and keep his Lord from His mission and the guests from their home. His religion, like that of many now, centered In personal enjojment. Peter must be delivered from such notions. Out hovvf IIKAVKSLY MKSSGK.-1 While the words were on Peter's lips a cloud overshadowed the company. Uy this manner on tevrial occasions God's approach bad been announced (I'x xlv: 10 20; Psalm xrlii: 11; Isa xixi 1) III un veiled jresenco could not bo endured 2. Out of the cloud came a volte sajlng, "This Is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased (Matt. lev III 6); bear je Him" Here Is a ptrxlama Hon of Christ's tllvlnltj, as It had been taught In Scripture (Psalm II: 7), as Jestu himself con fessed it (John ills 10). and as Peter also de clared tt (Matt, xvli 16). The expression of approval was the same as that given at the hap. Utm (Uatt. lit) 17). Hut this was preliminary AN ARMY ON THE MARCH. Description of tho Order in Which a British Column Advances. From tho London Express. A llritlsh column udvnnclng In tlmo of war through nn enemy's country Is nt once n magnificent and a remark able spectacle; or rather, to bo cor rect, It would be, provided tho eyo could take In all tho details at a sin glo glance. l4ut that Is Just precisely what tho eye cannot do. A column of oven moderate strength, when on tho move, lengthens Itself out nbnormally; so much so, Indeed, that a body of ttoops which In review order could bo packed within a moderate-sized parade ground will occupy rlbbonwl-eo eight, ten or even njore miles of country. AVe will, thorefotc, tako upa posi tion on nn eminence a kopje, If you like and watch In Imagination a col umn of Hrltlsh regulars marching on, say Pretoria. First there will come In isight, rid ing at a walking pnoe athwart tho bolder-strewn veldt, a tnlltnry pair of hoi semen. These are the ntlvanco points, ns they nro termed, nnd are thrown foiwnrd, perhnnt a mile ahead of the vanguard. They are on the lookout for the enemy, nnd on the Hist hint of tlnnger it 14 their duty to ride back to left and right nnd alarm tho flankers. These latter nio thrown out futiwlie from the cavalry which screens the In fantry vanguard, and they In turn pass the word back along the ti ailing, snakellkc ribbon of armed men, till within half an hour, ray, of tho ene my's being first sighted, tho entire command knows of tho thieatencd danger and Is prepaied to deal with It. The two advanced points have been well likened to n couple of electric but tons, which on being touched thi 111 the alarm down both flanks throughout the cntlto length of tho column with which they nie In communication. The simile Is not quite pel foot, however, for the alarm is sounded by these living elec tric buttons while jet the tlnnger Is remote. Home hundreds of ards in tho tear of the tauilry screen tomes tho advancetl guaid, sub-divided Into ,i vanguaid and a malngunid. This lat ter constitutes the thst fighting unit of the advancing column, and Its strength is, of couise, proportionate to the strength of tho force It is coveting. With It Ate field and machine guns, sappers, miners, engineers, ambulances, reserve ammunition wagons, and so forth. In fact, tho advance guard of a huge column constitutes In llelf a fighting force a mlnlatuie army, so to speak, complete in practically all es sentinl details. Alter the advance guard has passed we shall probably sen emeiglng from the clouds of dust which nlw.ivs except In wet weather, envelop as with a mantle a column on the mai ch another solltaiy pair of hoi semen, and then at Intel val.s an other ami vet another. These .tie tho connecting links, a half Hoop, or per haps, If tho foice is a laige one, a whole Hop of cavalty will como next, then more connecting links, and lastlv the ollker commanding, sut rounded anil accompanied by his staff. The unin itiated In mntteis. military will now probably expect to see thd main body of the aims; but no. A single Infantiy battalion, or mavbo two, will peihaps iw-s, matching sttlrtly "to attention," bajonets fixed, antl ofilcers' swords can led naked nt the slope, after which theie will heave slowly Into sight an appaiently endless train of Held attil lery, machine guns, ammunition wagons, ambulances, tool t arts, foi age antl stom wagons, nnd numbeis of led hoises. It Is only when this heteiogeneous pto c fssiem has come tn an end that the thlekenlnsr of the dust cloud and tho measured tramp tramp tt.tmp! het nld the approach of the infantiy bil gades.

Why this si lt nccf Why should not the other nine know And what iclatlon was there between the trins figuration and the resurrection? 2. There is a proper order ot truth one doctrine prep ires for another. A large part ot the skepticism and bewilderment common among men Is duo to their effort to grasp things out ot their order The slftnlficarco of this mountain secno could not appear until certain gnat doctrines weie accepted. And then tho world must bo readj for a truth, and feathers must ba competent to set it forth. When Jesus comes out of the se pulchre, the apostle will be able to correlate this teaching and the church ready to receive Let a man preach out of a full heart what men need, not what they will abuse. Truth has its day when Its advocates may speak. CONCLUSION. Probably the transfiguration i the moot remarkable single event in llio l.lo of Jesus, It sheds light upon aliiimt every doctriuo of religion. The unity of the cllipenatium, the reality of a future life, and tho communion of tho saints of all ages these themes ar suggested here. Tho event is made the bavia ot tcathlng concerning man's body (2 Cor. lv: 0, Cor. xvi 1; Phil, iiii 21; Col. ill: 4 S). Put tho chief uso to bo made concerning tho passage is to exalt Christ, tho being of two worlds, nblo to speak in both. Here is exhibited His glorious person, His Dlvlno Eonshlp, Ills heavenly asso ciation, Ills atoning death, Ills superior d'.ilty and. authority. The lesson finds its clln x en Its earthly side in the words; "No man savo Jesus only," and on the lieavculy sli'c i. the words; "This U my beloved Sgm."

Hoth affections are said to be caused chiefly by the chemical or ultra-violet lays, but In tho caso of sunburn it Is probablo that tho heat albo has borne effect. Tho tan may come gradual!), with out any burn, after a succession of slight and brief exposures to the sun or to high winds for wind will tan ns well as sunshine. Usually, howevci, tho city dweller gets well burned dur ing tho Hrst few days of his vacation In the country or on the vvatei. In severe cases tlm skin Is red, slightly swollen nnd tho seat of a bharp burning bcnsatlon; if the exposuic bus been prolonged, or the glare of tho bun very Intense, It may bo even bllsteicd. After a few days tho soreness and heat subsides and tho red color gradually turns to brown. If the burn is pretty severe, cooling lotions, such as alcohol and water, di luted cologne wnter, a solution of bl enrbonnto of soda, or lead water, may bo applied, or tho skin may be bmcjtcd with cold cream, camphor lee, zinc, ointment, or a mixture of lime vvatei and nil, Somo such application ns this, tho sufferer being careful to keep out of tho sun for a day or two, will usu ully sufllcc. If blisters form, they should bo pricked with a clean needle at the most depondent part, and when tho water has drained away they should bo cov ered with a cloth spread with ono of the greasy applications Just mentioned.

A doso of I'cruna. boforo each meal during tho hot season Is a safeguard of priceless value to those who are In the least HUbject to nervous prostration, nnd an eiToctunl protection ngalnst summer colds. Mrs. M. Dooloy, Mt. Airy, Haber sham county, G. writes: "In tho spring of tho vcar 1893 I took your Pet una for about threo weeks accord ing to dlicctlons nnd oIho ono bpttlo of Mannlln, and can truly say that 1 consider myself cured of catarrh of tha stomnch of flvo year's stnndlng. I only took threo bottles of Pcruna and one of Mannlln which generally stimulated tho liver, tho glands of tho stomach nnd bowels, nnd it is a most splendid tonic. Teruna Is a wonderful medicine for calnrih of the stomach. If I ever have any moro trouble I will most assuredly tnke I'erunn. It Is the only medicine I ever took that dltl me any good. 1'eiuni acted Ilko magic In my case. I believe It Is the best medicine on eaith for dyspepsia. I also believe there Is no other medicine on the market that equals It for family use." Atonic dvspcpsla is simply nervous prostration ot tho stomach. There is not usually much pain, but a feeling of gieat weight, and sometimes falntness after each men!, followed by sour ci no tations antl belching of gas. The bowels may be regular and appetite good, but the weakened stomach, which should be in constant movement aftvr a menl lies doimant, allowing the food to boon de compose Instend of digesting. This Is a very common form of dys pepsia among the mentally overworked class, whose netvous systems become depressed by lonjr continued strains and sedentary habits If thero Is a remedy In the whole range of medlclmtl prepaiatinns that Is in cveiy partlculai adapted to this form of djspcpsla, that remoily is Peruna. It not only acts ns an appe tizer, but it Imparts to the stomach tho vigor to properly digest the food by awakening the paiistnltlc movements of the digestive organs. Mrs. Tred Bolide, Goeglein, Ind., writes: "I was a suffeier from head ache and pains in my stomach for ten years, more or less. I consulted doctors but they could give me no telief. I grew weaker right along, and didn't expect that I could live very long. One day I happened to get a '09 Peruna almanac. I saw my case described in it nnd also a suie cure so I decided to givo it a trial. I commenced to take it last spring, and after taking half a bottle of Peruna I felt like a new person. I continued taking Peruna until fall, following your directions carefully, and I have to say that I feel better than I ever did. "Hoping that Peruna may do for others what it has done for me, I recommend it to everyone." I remain, truly yours, Mrs. Fred Bolide.
