SERMON ON THE
TRANSPORTATION.
Prayers of Independent Church Re-
quested for Mrs. Annie Fleming.

Prayers of Independent Church Re-
quested for Mrs. Annie Fleming.
At the Independent Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning, the pastor,
Rev. DR.. ]. Y. Fair, preached upon the
transit guration of Christ. his text be-
ing taken from Matt. 17:2. And he
was TRANSPORTED before them"
DR.. Fair said tradition located this
wonderful event upon Mount Hermon,
a celebrated mountain of the Holy
Land. whose lofty peak was covered
perpetually with snow. The nature of
The transfigura ton itself" he said, I'VE
cannot precisely understand. He was
metan orphosed, as the original reads,
but, in what way, is not stated. At His
incarnation He drew a veil over His
godhead, but on that lonely mountain
top, while darkness envelOped the
sleeping world, beneath the clear cold
light of stars and amid the cleaning
snow, He lifted the veil and appeared
to the eyes of HIS astonished disciples,
In His real glory, the sun of righteous
ness. the light of the whole world.
while He was thus TRANSPORTED be-
fore them. there appeared Moses and
Elias talking with Him. Why these
two men? Why not legions of angels,
as at His birth, and at His resurrec-
ton? There was. a deep, underlying
reason for this. Moses was the type of
the law; Elias was the type of the
prophets Their appearance indicated
that the law and the symbols of the
Old Testament all pointed to Christ and
were fulfilled in Him. Thus the unity
of the Old Testament and the new is
established. and also the divine SUI
periority of Christ"
In concluding his sermon, DR.. Fair
drew three conclusions. First. The m
mortality of the soul Moses" he said,
had been dead about 14O0 years. Elias
about 900 years; yet we see them here
in a state of conscious existence. So,
ages after the sun and moon and stars
shall have been swept into the dust of
oblivion, we too, shall be in existence
for we are immortal, the breath of
God. Second. Heavenly recognition. 1t
is evident the disciples recognized
Moses and Elias-how we are not told.
But if they recognized them, why shall
we not recognize them? And if we rec
ognize Moses and Elias, why not our
own loved ones in Heaven? Third. The
future glory of Gods children. The
TRANSPORTATION was a type of Christ's
heavenly glory and the apostle says,
Beloved now are we the sons of God,
and # doth not yet appear what we
shall be; but we know that when He
shall appear we shall be like Him, for
we shall see Him. as He is?"
At the night service, DR.. Fair an
nounced the reception during the day
of a telegram, requesting the special
prayers of the congregation for Mrs.
Annie Fleming, a member of the In
dependent Church, who is critically i'll
with pneumonia in Philadelphia.
