Tdk CHARACTERIZATION OF CHRlST-sERMON BY
RRv. s. H. TYING. JR.
AT the Church OF the Holy Trinity OF Madison
avenue and Forty-second street, the Rev. stephen II.
Tying, Jr, the pastor, preached taking his text from
Mark, tx, 2-"IIe was transhgured before Them
The TRANSPORTATION of Jesus Christ said DIR. Tying,
a act fable. Against all the pretended ex-
positions and explanations of naturalism had the
testimony OF eye witnesses for their words continue
with US unto this day. When Peter upon the
mount there came TO him the voice OF God, saying,
This is my beloved son In whom am we'll pleased"
Tohn member OF the company and he declared,
We behed his glory, the glory as OF the Only Begot
zen OF the Father" James, the third witness,
called TO heaven before his testimony could be given.
These cvangeliss whose evidence cannot
be overthrow The TRANSPORTATION brings before us,
/ event, an outline OF the second coming and tho
glorious Kingdom OF Jesus Christ upon this earth 1t
stands Tor us, also, as an Illustration OF Christian
experience in all time 1t has do with Christ
OF the SOUL a visible saviour to the eyes that
fitted 10 perceive and as Peter and James and John be-
held Him thus marvelously TRANSPORTED so IN the
whole after history of HIS people is He set before
them in n developing glory which the eye OF the I'M
Outstanding, OF VISION OF faith, can appreciate and
enjoy.
But now mark the proposton:-He was TRANSPORTED
before Them. The change was relative. They were
tain OF privilege that they might be prepared for the
manifestations the Lord would make. All Jesus is
always gl0rious beneath the tatcred garments OF the
Galilean peasant always the Inenabe image OF the
Father was He But men received Him not His
received Him not The sun beyond tho clouds all
It's brightness, though vapor shut II from sight
and enjoyment, and though distractions shut out the
bright aud earthly difficulties hinder the uplook of
faith the Lord is ever glorious. These changes in
Christ (lor TRANSPORTATION means a nletamorphossl
are equally changes in u.s. They arc conditions in
which the soul realize Christ When the heYrt
Is lifted up in prayer surely the spiritual
light Is clearer, and the soul that actually prays
angels on the ladder john at Patmos at the
81 this dispcnsation bched the One whose face shone
The sight The Holy Ghost guides US, enlightens the
eyes OF our understanding and our faith, that may
sec He Eliminates all our conceptions OF Christ in
the promises that IN Christ's own light begin
recognize more and more OF His inexpressble glory
l take three changes IN Christ, WINCH though like
the revolution of the and stars only apparent
changes, still, IN our experience they seem actual,
SAID the preacher. sFirst OF all the name becomes a
person. In the Transportation Jesus ceases to be
mere name-He becomes historical person. Second
tue person becomes presence Do you know any
thing about this TRANSPORTATION? Is Jesus with you
III your counting rooms, IN your houses, by the way
sdey Oh, blessed art thou, whOsoever thou art that
walk est with form like unto the Son OF man.
The last TRANSPORTATION is when the source becomes
funcss. The perception of His fitness have only
for a moment and then He Is again. We shall
see HIM He u.s. All will proceed from Jesus, our
Lord-al life all love, all joy all song-and shall
be TRANSPORTED into the same likeness from glory to
