CHRIST'S TRANSFIGURATION.
By Sarah E. Billyard
NEARLY nineteen centuries ago a little group stood on a mountain top in far-away Galilee, and there witnessed a sight which no mortal eyes will ever again behold until the Son of God is seen coming in the clouds of heaven, "with all His holy angels with Him." It was the glorious privilege of Peter and James and John to see Christ transfigured; to see the sublime grandeur of His countenance and His shining raiment. And Peter, filled with awe and wonder, said, "Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," but Christ had work for Peter in the valleys of the world's needs. So He has work in the same valleys for you. The work may not be of your own choosing. It may be very humble work, just doing the very best you know how, in the place God has assigned you, but whether your work is amidst the fields whitening for the harvest, or within the environments of home, let this thought cheer you: the same Jesus that so signally blessed Peter, and James, and John, is coming again. His coming is near at hand, and if our appointed work is faithfully done, we shall take part in that wonderful transfiguration, when mortality shall put on immortality, and hope shall be swallowed up in fruition.
