Thoughts on the Topic.


Transformation IS a word OF broad
meaning. applicable to anything the form
Of which may be changed. IN the Scrip
ture selections above the appearance OF
the countenance was changed More
commonly it is the life that is trans
formed, but this may work a noticeable
change OF feature.
Burke the burglar is said to have beer
man Of most forbidding countenance.
But Burke, the Christian convert was
pIeasant-faced, if not handsome How
greatly the spirit OF a man influences
his appearance is a matter OF common
observation Your joviaI companion IS
hardly recognizable in z TT OF passion
Passion often repeated leaves its per
manent Disagreement; and. likewise.
continual peace OF spirit and kindness
OF heart produce permanent beauty.
The transformation OF life is more
noticeable and more important. Lives
change continually. whether We viii or
not, and the changes are always noted
more by Others than By ourselves. A
mans morning greeting may be grun
in business intercourse, he may be sus-
picious, exasperating and altogether
disagreeabie. or frank, friendly and
pleasant: in society he may be selfish
or unseIfish. To sum up. mans life
may be hideous or beautiful, and the
change from the one 20 the other we
call a transformation
One type OF man is conceded to be
desirable ana the other undesirable.
But # an the hideous one. how shall
! become the ether? Can the Ethiopian
change his skin, or the leopard his
spOts2" No, that is out OF the cues
ton; but the case is not hopeless. for
neither the Ethiopian nor the uncomeIy
man need or dare rely on himself alone.
The apostle Paul ccuHscIs. BE not
tsshioned accordin- 70 this world: but
De ye transformed by the renewing Of
y0'!r mind. That Is passive, not. active;
"be ye transformed. % not transform
yourselves We infer, then. that the
transforming influence comes from an
other. IN fact It comes from many
Others; out ali benevolent influences
traced to their source lead TO the throne
G. God and from that source we are
enabled to draw it directly by com
nunion
The spirit shows in the face. the
deeds, the WORDS in a word. il the life
Of Ihe Dossessor; and if the spirit be
beautiful then IS the life beautiful The
spirit increases IN loneliness lust in
proportion 70 its Communion with that
which is lovely. that which IS perfect
That soul which is most in touch with
Gcd Is most IN harmony with Gods
VIII; is most God-like. Moses cominc
down from the mount was in perfect
harmony with the Creator; mis- soul was
for me tine perfect; his deeds were
tenedcent- his appearance was glorious.
All because OF communion WIKI God.
The day Of communion with God is not
gone forever. No man of our genera
tion has assembled a mountain and there
held converse with Cod. No man Of our
generation has talked with God incar-
nate. But yet men are not denied that
communion which VIII work transforma-
tens as marked as in the case OF proph- /
et or apostle

diately suggest themselyes-pr prayer. BIZ |

August 81. 1902.
Moses countenance showed very
plainly where he had been.
Communion and living in harmony
with God is noticeable by those with
whom We come in contact. not only by
cur acts. but also by our faces.
It IS not necessary for one to be told
that q certain person is living in sin
and leading dissipated life, for by
looking into his face you can see that
such is the case only too plainly

THE LESSON TEXT.

(AmeTicaH Standard Revised Eersion)
Exodus Xxxiv-29. And il came 10 pass.
when Noses came down from Mount ST.
nal with the two tables OF the testi-
mOny in Moses hand. when he came
down from the mount. that Moses knew
not that the skin Of his face shone by
reason Of his speaking with him
30 And when Aaron and all the chill
dren Of Israel saw Noses, behold! the
skin Of his face shone. and they were
afraid to come nigh him
81 And Noses called unto them. and
Aaron and all the rulers OF the congre-
cation returned unto him. and Moses
spake to them.
81 And afterward all the children Of
Israel came nigh, and he gave them in
commandment all that Jehovah had
spoken with him on Mount Sinai
So And when Moses had done speak
ing with them. he put a veil on his face.
81. But when Moses went in before Je-
hovah to speak with him, he took the
veil OF. until he came out: and he came
out and spake unto the children of Is
Id6i tHdt WHICH ne was commanded
IS. And the children of Israel saw the
face Of Moses, that the skin of Moses
face shone; and Moses put the veil
upon his face again. until he went in to
speak with him.
Luke ix:2S. And it came to pass about
eight days after these sayings that he
took with him Peter and John and
James. and went uD into the mountain
TO pray.
% And as he was praying, the fash
ion of his eountenance was altered. and
his raiment became white and dazzling.
