Hid He not doctor the ruler's daughter? Did lle not elicit n cure in the house of n crnturian of great wealth who had out of his own pocket built 11 synagogue? They would have paid Him lirge fees, and there were hundreds of wealthy people in Jerusalem and among the merchant, castles nlmi" T.i'ke Tiberias who would have civeii this Surgeon houses and lands nml all they had for such cures ns He could cfTcct.

When His taxes were due, by His omniscience He knew of 11 fish in the sea which had swal lowed n piece of silver money, as tish nre apt to swallow iiiivlhing bright, and He sent l'etcr with a hook which brought up that fish, and from its mouth was ex tracted a ltomnii staler, or (i'J' j cents, the only money lie ever had, and that He paid out for taxes. This greatest Surgeon of all the centu ries pave all His services then and offers all His services now free of all charge. "Without money and without price" you may spiritually have blind cye-i opened and your dumb ears unbarred, and your dumb tongues loosened, and your wounds healed, anil your soul saved. If Christian people get hurt of body, mind or soul, let them remember Hint surgery is apt In hurt, but it cures, and you can nll'ord present pain for future glory. Itrsidcs that, there are powel fill nnaes thelics in the divine promises that soothe and alleviate. No ether or chloroform or cocoaine ever made one so superior to dis tress ns n few drops of thnt magnilicent anodyne: "All things work together for goocLto those who love Cod." "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy coineth in the morning." What n grand thing for our poor hu man race when this Surgeon shall have completed the treatment of the world's wounds! The day will come when there will be no more hospitals, for there will be no more Bick. and no more eye und eur iiiliriiiaries, lor there will be no more blind or deaf, and no more deserts, for the round earth shall be brought under arboriculture, and no more blizzards or sunstrokes, for the atmosphere will be expurgated of scorch nnd chill, nnd no more war. for the f worda shall come out of the foundry bent into pruning hooks, while in tho heavenly country we shall sec the victims of acci dent or malformation or hereditary ills on earth become the athletes in Klysinn fields. Who' is that man with such brilliant eyeg close before the throne? Why. that is tho man who, near Jericho, was blind and our Surgeon cured his v;ihtlialmia! Who is that ercet 011J graceful anil queenly wom an before the throne? That was the one whom our Surgeon found bent almost dou ble nnd could in nowise lilt up herself, and He made her straight. Who is that listening with audi rapture to the music of heaven, solo melting into chorus, cym bal responding to trumpet, nnd then him self joining in the anthem? Why, that is the man whom our Surgeon found deaf nnd dumb on the beach of (Jalilec, nnd by touches opemd ear gate and mouth gate. Who is thai around whom the crowds nre gathering with admiring looks and thanks giving nud cries of "Oh, what He did for me! Oh, what He did for mv family! Oh, what He did for the world!'' That is the Surgeon of all the centuries, the oculist, the aurist, the emancipator, the Saviour. So pay He took on earth. Come, now, and let all heaven pay Him with worship that ishull never end and a love that shull never lie.

"Into a mountain." The Place of the transhguration scene is un known, but it wns probably Mount Mor mon, not fur from Cnesaieu' l'liihppi. This is the opinion of nearly nil modern au thorities. "To 1,1-nv." It was the habit ,t Jesus to go alone in the night to pray. Helore lie chose the Twelve, nnd niter leoding the live thousand, wo see Him praying in the night. J his time it was a "prayer meeting. -It. "As My prayed." lie was doubtless praying lor strength to curry on His work and lor the enlightenment ol 1 1 is disl;j. pies; the tiaiisliguration was the answer. "His countenance was altered." Matthew says "His lace did shine as the sun." It would appear that the light shone not upon II tit tiom without, but that it shone out of Mini from within: it was one blaze ot dazzling, celestial glory; it was Himself glonlicd. "Hainieiit became white and dazzling" (II. V.) Mark savs: "Kxcceding white us snow." His lace shone with di vine majesty, nnd all His body wns so ir ladiatcd by it that His clothes could not conceal His glory, and became while and glistening as the very light with which He covered Himself as with a garment. :.

"Were heavy with sleep." H was in the night, and the time when they usu ally slept. Our Knglish version implies that they fell nslocp and were awakened to sec His glory, while the original implies that, though heavy with sleep, thev kept fully nwnke. "Were fully awake." (H. .) Kven though they may have been asleep at first when lie was "transfigured he lore them" they were fully awake. "Saw His glory, and the two men." The bril liancy of their countenances nnd the daz zling blight ncss of the garments. It was 11 reality. It was not 11 dream, they were lullv awake. 33. "As they departed." Peter must have seen that they were about ready to leave. "Peter saiii." Peter is always ready to speak. "It is good for lis to lie here." Peter spoke the truth. The npos tlcs would be stronger, and more useful because of the divine manifestations. It is always good lor us when the Kurd es pecially inunitcsts Himself to us; when we see His glory. "Let us make three taber nacles." Or booths, from the bushes of the mountains; such as were made at the feast of the tabernacles. He greatly de-. sired to have the heavenly visitants re main with them. "Not knowing what ho said." Peter's plans were frequently in opposition to those of the Kurd. He wns so amazed and bewildered by the glory of the heavenly manifestations that he know not what he said. How many times do we speak unwisely be, nine we do not stop to consider our words. : "While he thus spake." Here was the response to Peter's suggestion, a wise answer to n fo;,lish prayer; denying the petition in order to grant something bet ter. "There came a cloud, and over shadowed them." Matthew Bays a "bright'' cloud. A cloud had frequently been the symbol of the divine presence: "They feared." This glorious manifesta tion of tiod'H presence caused them to tremble. It is very likely that the trans figuration took place in the night, in which case the light of Christ's counte nance, the dazzling brightness of -.,s gar ments, and the glory of the cloud, would have a marked clfcct. because of the ah setice of the solar light. "Knteied into." It was lirst above them nnd then seemed to descend over them and envelop them. 35. "A voice." The voice of (!od tho lather. It revealed nothing new, but conlirtiiB the old, for it was the same voice which had been heard nt his baptism.

Matthew ndds, "In whom I am well pleased." They had Jesus with them, nnd He was more than nil the hosts ol heaven would be without Him. "Hear Him." He is superior oven to Moses, the great lawgiver.

Hut one cannot see the Presidio troopers nt their drill without feeling that, us far as the yellow trimmed warriors go the army is not hampered by uuy restraining Inllueiice. The school of riding In use by the troopers is distinctly Mexican. The horse Is. In the Hist place, free from siiperlluiuis trappings. He Is taught to be guided merely by the touch of the rein on one side of his neck. There Is but one pair of reins, and these are held In one hand.
