The account is given with the
literary finish and yet majestic
simplicity which is so typical Of
the gospel writer's. There il q
magnificent economy Of words.
The description is the more ire
mendous for its brevity.
Let theologians and critics
argue as they will about this
even by this supernatural event.
Let them interpret it as it
pleases them. But to every in
telligent, and certainly to every
reverent, reader of the Scriptures.
it has an inspirational value al
most unequaled, even in the
Bible.
Peter, James and John made
up the inner circle of the apos-
ties. They Were the especial
friends Of the Master. It was
natural that He should choose
them to share this experience
with Him.
1t was characteristics Of Simon
Peter that his impulsive nature
could not be awed into silence
even by this supernatural event.
He wanted to prolong the ex-
perience. To build house or
tent for Moses, Elijah and
Christ; an altogether Impractical
suggestion, but one altogether
typical Of Simon Peter.
When we picture the trans
figuration in our minds eye, we
almost inevitably think of
Raphael's immortal painting. Il
was the last effort of the great
Italian master. He died before
it could be completed, and it was
carried at his funeral. In it
Raphael has given US a glimpse
of the astonishment of the dis
ciples and the transfigured glory
of Christ.

SCHOOLS
PLANNED

An increase in the number Of
vacation Bible schools is a prospect
this summer according to a recent
survey az the field made BY the
Rev. p. o. Clark, recently reap
pointed in charge Of this work by
the Washington Federation Of
Churches Several churches are
planning to conduct a school for
the first time this season.
These vacation Bible schools take
idle children off the streets for a
month during the summer season
and furnishes them valuable religi-
GUS instruction, recreation and
training In hand craft. Last year
throughout the country, according
to report recently given by the
international Council OF Religious
Education. there was an increase Of
IS per cent over the preceding
year in the number OF these schois
held. The number of vacation
Bible schols in the United States
last year was 4.5l2. 1t is hoped
that washington viii keep pace

thirty.fitth anniversary Of the or.
ganization Of the congregation. The

The first officers were william
H. German. president: w. Charles
Heitmuller, secretary, and Henry

ton called Pastor Morhart in June.
1892. In September OF that year
Pastor Morhart was installed and
faithfully served the congregation
until July. 1908, when he was
called to Cleveland.
The Rev. j.. Frederic Wenchel,
the present pastor, was installed in
November, 1908.
In 1892, the young congregation
determined to purchase the present
location as a site for a church
building and parsonage. In 1898,
the building OF the parsonage, with
an extended basement suitable for
church purposes, was begun. In
April, 1894, this building was de.
dicated, the sermon being delivered
by Rev. Dillman.
Prior to 1902 the Sunday school
made the first effort towards q
new church building by d donation
Of $40. In 1908, after clearing the
parsonage and basement building
OF all debt, plans were made for
the erection Of the present elifice.
On December S, 1909, the new
building was dedicated, Pastor Nor.

TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
The
Transit ulrati0n
BY Rev. Edward Taber

One Of the most mysterious
and. yet interesting of the events
in the life of Christ is the ex-
perience on the mountain top
known as lie TRANSPORTATION.
One does not have to be what
is generally known as. a mystic
to receive comfort and inspira-
ton from the TRANSPORTATION.
To understand it is impossible.
It cannot be reduced to cold
reason. It's exact spiritual value
can hardly be expressed in prose.
Its exalted lesson belongs to the
realm Of poetry, music and
painting.
The story, as given in the Cos
pels, is briefly this:
Jesus, with the desire for
meditation and quiet, takes three
Of his disciples, Peter, James
and John, up into a mountain,
probably Mount Her. %. There
He was TRANSPORTED before
them. His garments became
white and shining, exceeding
white as snow" There appeared
on either side of Him, Elijah
and Moses, one representative
of the prophets, the other of the
law. They conversed with
Christ. Simon Peter, impulsive
as usual, says, Master, it is
good for us to be here; and let
us make three tabernacles, one
for Thee, one for Moses, and
one for Elijah" The disciples
were frightened by the. glory and
uniqueness of the event. A voice
from Heaven spoke of Jesus as
the Divine Son.
The experience ended abruptly.
The apostles suddenly looked
about, and saw only Jesus, stand
ing calmly with them.
