Plans have been completed by
the II. S. Employment Service o!
Ohio in cooperation with the State
Department of Education, to regis
ter all high school seniors who will

be launched during the next few

not all will be active jeb seekers
Only those students who are active
ly seeking employment will be con-
sidered in this registration plan.
Many of the boy. graduates who

ed Immediately in war production
jobs. Others no doubt will be plac-
ed in farm jobs, and many boys

mercial sources will be registered
for jobs in offices and elsewhere.
The United States Employment

of all school authorities in this plan
to mobilize additional workers for
the war program. Detailed plans
will be sent to school authorities
within a short time.

What is more valuable than an
idea Whether it is the application
of some great and important prin-

or whether it is the adoption of one
of the gripping ideas of a prophet
who may have lived centuries ago,
go to church to get ideas! The
churches of this community will
welcome you and will be glad to
share ideas! There is no better

The Transfgured Christ Meet:
Human Need, Luke 9:28-43, fol
Sunday, March 20:
The TRANSPORTATION was Gods
merciful support of Jesus when his
disciples failed to understand him
it was also a means to illumine the
minds of the disciples. Jesus ON.
impotence was later demonstrated
in his power over the worst case o1
an evil-possessed man.
v. %. And it came to pass
about eight days after these say
ings, he took Peter and John and
James, and went up into noun
tain to pray" After Jesus made
known the program of suffering
and death before him, eight days
elapsed for meditation ending with
a prayer meeting of Jesus with the
three leading disciples on a noun
tain.
v. 20. "And as he prayed the
fashion of his countenance was al
tered, and his raiment was white
and glistening" There is seen in
a true follower of God today some
thing of peace and spiritual power.
The inner life is reflected in physi-
cal expressions.
v. 80. "And behold there talked
with him two men, who were Moses
and Elijah" Moses represented the
law. and Elijah the prophets. The
law and the prophets were fulfilled
in Christ. Here is proof that
those who have died still have
their personalities. Man is i'm
mortal.
v. 81. "Who appeared in glory,
and spake of his decease which he
was to accomplish at Jerusalem. .
Jesus needed strengthening for the
hour Of death which was the sub
ject of their conversation. Note
that Jesus death was to accomplish
something. Sometimes we accom-
plish most in the hour of death

sorrow as we often do.
v. 80. 'Now Peter and they that
were with him were heavy with
sleep; but when they We're full
awake they saw his glory, and the
men that stood with him." While
Jesus was evidently praying, the
disciples slept, succumbing to the
weariness of body; it was to their
credit that they awoke in time to
see the glory of Christ and the two
heavenly visitors. How much we
often miss because we do not awake
to see the glory Of God. They made
up for their dullness later in want
ing to enjoy the presence OF the
Lord. desiring to build three taber-

nacles, and being willing to do
without such shelter themselves.
Wv. "a, 35. "And while he said
these things, there came cloud,
and overshadowed them, and they
feared as they entered into the
cloud. And a voice came out of the
cloud, saying, This is my beloved
son, hear him. There is always a
cloud partly concealing Gods provi-
dence from us, but there is always
a voice coming out of the cloud to
reveal to us all we need to know in
the doing of our duty.
V. &c. "And when the voice was
past, Jesus was found alone. And
they kept in close and told no man
in those days of the things which
they had seem Some experiences
are too sacred to be told publicly.
If one having a profound and unus-
ually rich experience should tell it
injudiciously people would mis-
Judge such a one as "holier-than-
thou" person. But there are times
when it must be told; Peter related
his ex, erience with the transfgured
Christ later
". 81, 38. "And it came to pass
on the next day, when they were
come down from the hill, much peo-
pie met him. And, behold, man
Of the company cried out, saying,
Master, l beseech thee, look upon
my son; for he is mine only Son."
Note that Jesus came down from
the mountain carrying his noun
tain-top experience of glory and
power with him. We, too, when
having high privileges with noun
tain-top experiences must meet
folks and live for them. There was
work to do at the bottom of the
hill-there was need of helping a
very bad case Of demon-possessed
Young man. No case was too hard
for Jesus.
V. 40, Al. "And l besought thy
disciples to cast him out; and they
could not. And Jesus answered
and said, o faithless and per-
verse generation, how long shall l
be with you, and suffer you? Bring
thy son hither.'' The failures OF
the disciples here was lack OF
faith-a very common failure to-
day. Christ also implied that the
disciples did not pray as they ought
to have done mark 9:29.)
V. AZ. "And as he was yet COM
ing, the devil threw him down, and
tare him. And Jesus rebuked the
unclean spirit, and healed the child
and delivered him again to his faith
er." Demons cannot endure the
presence of Christ. When Jesus
has the right of way, evil is dis
PEELED.
v. 43. "And they were all amaz-
ed at the power of Cod Well
might they be amazed. What God
can do today when he has a chance
is a wonder.
