The Transformation,

Our Lord took the three dearest and most
enlightened of his disciples and went with
them up "A lofty mountain. 1t is almost GER
tain that Tabor was not the scene of that
great epiphany The rounded summit of
that picturesque and wood-crowned nil,
which forms 50 fine feature in the land
scape, as the traveller approaches the north
eru limit OF the plain OF Esdraelon, had
probably from time immeuorial been for
titled and inhabited spot. On these pastur-
ages, cool and fresh with the breath of the
snow-clad heights above them, and offering
that noble solitude which he desired as the
reireshment of his soul for the mighty
struggle which was now so soon to come,
Jesus would find many spot where he could
kneel with his disciples, absorbed in silent
prayer. Aud the GOODNESS and solitude would
be still more delicious to the WEAKNESS of
the man of SORROWS after the burning heat
OF the Eastern day, and the incessant pub
licity which, even in these remoter regions,
thronged his steps. 1t was the evening hour
when he assembled and as he climbed the
hill slope 18th those three chosen witnesses,
the sons of thunder aud the man OF rocks, "
doubtless a solemn gladness dlated his
whole soul. lie went up to be prepared Tor
death, and took his three disciples with him,
that haply, having seen his glory, their
hearts might be fortified their faith strength
ened, to gaze unshaken on the shameful in,
suits and unspeakable humiliation oil the
cross. There, then, he knelt aud prayed
A, he prayed, he was elevated far above the
toll and misery of the world which had re
iected him. He was transfgured before
them, aud his countenance shoHe as the sun
aud his garments became white as the daz
zling snow-field above them. lie was wrap
ped in such an aureole of clustering bril
lance that the light, the snow, the light
ming, are the only things 10 which the Evan
gelist can compare that celestial lustre.-

Individual Work.

cannot help thinking that if there was a
little more individual work, little more
moral courage in the world 10 save men, the
world would not be So much of wreck as
it is to-day II you saw that "A friend, a
brother, was taking wrong course, what
would you do Would you merely say,
" Dear, dear, dear how painful it is that so
many men are going wrong. just as sure as
he continues that course he is lost mau (;
but he will go dear, dear, dear 81 and when
YOU hear the despairing cry coming up from
the depths, add, II told you So" Now what
should you do Should you not lay your
hand on hm aud say, NV friend, you are
going wrong" What if he swears at you 2
Never mind save bin ii you eau. Many a
man hasn't got so far from your sympathy
but that one word kindly said in his ears
My friend, you are going wrong" will
check him, The difficulty is that We lei
men go SO far from our sympathy that We
cannot reach them. Now. it is this indi
vidual work that | believe is TO reform TIA,
world, and bring it back to God. d.--Joh,

What Constitutes He'll.

DR.. Norman Macleod is accredited with
the following Let the fairest star be Sc
lected, like beauteous island in the vast
and shoreless sea of the azure heavens, as
the future home of the criminals from earth,
and let them possess what they most love,
and all that is possible for God to bestow /;
let them be endowed with undying bodies,
aud with minds that shall ever retain their
intellectual powers; let no Saviour ever
press his claims upon them, no Sabbath ever
dawn upon them, no saint ever live among
them, no prayer ever be heard within their
border; but let society exist there forever,
smitten with the leprosy of enlnitv to God,
and with utter sefishness as its all-per
vadiug and eternal purpose-then, as sure
as the law of righteousness exists, on which
rests the throne of God and the govern
ment of the universe, a society so cohsti-
tuted must work out for itself hell of soil
tary aud bitter suffering, to which there is
no limit except the capacity of finite nature
Alas the spirit that is without love to God
or its neighbor is already possessed by a
power which must at least create for its. own
self-torment worm that will never die, an /
a fire that can never be quenched."

Three Young Men.

In the class OF $50, IN Princeton College,
three young men graduated whose names
have become pleasantly familiar to the
church of God in this land These Young
men were James W. Alexander, Edward
Norris Kirk. and Iebulon Butler. They
were bright, warm-hearted, keenly alive to
fun, and thoroughly goddess. Thirty years
later one of them said, ~ We have often
formed a trio at card table and around
punch-bowl, and in almost every scene OF
wickedness which our situation Afforded
and Butler once described them i'll letter
as Na-sau's reckless trio, the three young
est and the three widest OF the class OF
lS2O,' Possibly they exaggerated the sin-
fulness OF their youth, and wrote too bit
terly against themselves III the hour oil their
penltcnce; but 1t Is certain that religion
was the particular thing which was left out
OF the thoughts OF these gay and pleasure
loving young men. But these three young
men lived to be among the most eminent
and useful ministers OF Christs gospel III
which they lived. DIR. Edward n Kirk OF
Boston, Dr. James W. Alexander of New
York, and DIR. Isbulon Butler OF Port Glib
son, Mississippi, were such men as God does
not often lend to his church on earth, and
now that they are together before the throne,
their names and their works are among the
treasures OF the church, of which neither
earthly nor Satanic power can deprive her
They were " chosen vessels, known OF God.
and in due time were called with divine call
which is never unneeded, and following
which they turned away from all worldly
purI oses and went forth upon the rainparts
of Zion to do valiant service for Christ and
his cause. DR.. Alexander and DIR. Kirk be-
came far more widely known than their
early companion, Dr. Butler. But III the
region in which he dwelt, and where he la
bored, he made himself power with men,
and left name that is fragrant unto this
day. lie gave himself with singular ear
nestness 10 the work of preaching Christ.
He lived for this, and Tor nothing else. lie
published no books, he wrote no reviews, he
did not follow out any trail i'll science, he
did not cultivate any of the blooming fields
of literature. He was simply preacher
always and everywhere a preacher of Christs
gospel. lie preached by the wayside, in the
