Straggle to get an education haa
become classic, and rightly so, but
bo was not the only American Pres-
ident to teach himself what others
turned in school. Andrew John-
son, according to biographers, could
not read nor write when he was
married at the age of 19. He strug-
gled against great odds to get an
education after he was a grown
gaan, and his wife was much help
to him. He, like Lincoln, was an
apt student, and eagealy devoured
tnany books after he learned to
lead. While he ran a tailor shop
be paid people to read aloud to
bim while he worked, and thus be-
le acquainted with much of the
and geography of the world,

THE TRANSFIGURED CHRIST
MEETS HUMAN NEED
LESSON TEXT—Lake 9 28 43a
1 GOLDEN TEXT — And they were all
■mazed at the mighty power ol God.—
I Luke 9 43
! Glory and grace go together.
Spirituality finds meaning in serv-
ice. Holiness is faith in action.
Every fine emotion should be trans-
lated into conduct .
This is the message of our lesson
as it presents the transfigured Christ
and the disciples, oved beyond in-
telligent words b> x 1 is transcendent
glory, going forth into the valley to
meet the need of demon-ridden hu-
i manity.
( I. Amazing Glory (vv. 28-36).
j To three of the disciples came the
\ privilege of seeing in the mount the
. outshining of the deity of Christ
through the humanity of His flesh
in such amazing glory that Peter
could think of nothing more wonder-
ful than to prolong the experience
by tarrying in the mount.
One could wish that it were pos-
sible in presenting this lesson to get
over into the thinking of those who
read or hear, a proper conception
of the glory of our Christ, but words
seem to be such weak and in-
sufficient instruments. One would
cry out—“Look at Him—the Son of
God with the transfigured face—and
the light of heavenly glory shining
forth in a dazzling whiteness" (lit-
erally, like lightning).
If men would only look upon Him,
they would see how untrue are those
Queen Bee Dethroned
After Doing Her Duty
In every hive of honey bees, ex-
cept in case of accident, there ia •
bee which we call “the queen.” She
is the mother, and her children usu-
ally are counted by thousands.
The queen t>ee does not help build
the combs. She does not feed the
young and does not even get food
for herself. Ten or fifteen workers
are always near her. They give her
food and do whatever is needed for
her well-being.
When the cells are ready for her,
the queen lays one egg in each. In
a single day she may lay eggs in
more than 3,000 cells! The cells are
of different sizes, the smallest are
for eggs which will hatch into work-
ers and the largest are for future
queens. The cells which we may
call “middle-sized" are for the
drones.
The queen remains busy at her
single task of laying eggs, day after
day, week after week. When it nears
tire time for the young queens to
come from their cocoon the old
queen becomes nervous She buzzes
about the edges near the queen
cells. The workers know th re is
danger—the old queen wants to
sting her own daughters to death,
lest they become her rivals and
take control of the hive!-
To prevent such an action the
workers crowd ab< ut the queen cells
and keep her away. They do her no
injury but they prptect the young.

Unique Steps Against
Volcanic Blitzkrieg
Reported rumbling and spitting of
Java’s most lofty volcano, the 12,-
057-foot peak of Smeroe, gives the
Netherlands East Indies a new and
alarming enemy. But this natural
enemy, geophysicists here say, is
one for which the Dutch have pre-
pared with unique precautions.
Against a volcanic blitzkrieg, the
only defense is to provide warnings
early enough for escape. *
The Netherlands East Indies,
famed as the world’s most volcanic

tion of our flesh, was and is eternally
God.
Significant it is to note that with
Him on the mount were Moses and
Elijah. The former had died (Deut.
34:5, 6) and the latter had been
translated without death (H Kings
2:11), but both were alive, recog-
nizable, intelligent, interested in the
redemptive work which Christ was
to work out on the cross (v. 31).
This definitely denies such false
theories as soul-sleep or annihilation
at death.
But the vision of glory becomes
a means of blessing as we see
n. Amazing Grace (w. 37-43a).
Like Peter, there are many folk
who think that the thing to do is to
remain on the mounts in top, just en-
joying the vision of glory and the
delightful fellowship of Christ and
the redeemed. They do not learn
such things from Christ or from the
Word of God. Th£ next day (v. 37)
He and the disciples met the cry
of an anguished father whose boy
was possessed of a demon and who
had found no help (v. 40). Loqk
then upon the one whose unspeakable
glory has just been revealed in the
mount, who has just had the ap-
proval of God the Father (v. 35),
who now in amazing grace meets
the need of this humble child! There
is the grace of God, manifest in the
One whom we as Christians profess
to follow. Let us like Him bring the
glory of God and (in His name) the
power of God to bear upon the need
of men.
It seems to the writer of these
notes that God is waiting to do a
new thing in the midst of human
suffering and sorrow — working
through His disciples. We need first
of all to know Him ourselves, as our
own Saviour and Lord. Then we
need a vision of His glory, flooding
our souls and transforming our lives
(Rpm. 12:1, 2). Then, we must put
that glory and that power to work
through our lives. The one who fol-
warnings. On a number of volca-
noes, including Smeroe itself, ob-
servatories are maintained. From
the 2,000-foot high observatory on
Smeroe, telephonic lines can flash
warnings to villages on the slopes
of the great volcano, if mud streams
or ash eruptions become menacing.
In an island as densely inhabited
as Java, the people grow accus-
tomed to fleeing if need be. Smeroe
Is one of Java's most restless vol-
canoes and has been in eruption
many times.
The Dutch Volcano Service sends
its scientists up the numerous vol-
canoes from time to time make tem-
perature measurements, test the
height of water in the lakes and
note any other danger symptoms.
’Cure’ for Trees
Where th" “stand,” as foresters
say, is worth saving, as with valu-
able timber, groves, parks or good
woodlots, the infested trees must be
cut out and removed, bugs and all,
or the bark must be peeled off and
burned, or at least thoroughly heat-
ed and charred. When weather con-
ditions are right, the "cure” may
be effected, on occasion, by peeling
off the bark and exposing it to the
hot sunlight.
Government scientists have now
developed and are successfully us-
ing a new spray—the first capable
of penetrating the thick bark of the
giants of the forest—to combat the
bark beetles in felled trees. The base
is the chemical “orthodichlorobcn-
zine.” Use of the spray greatly re-
duces the fire hazard inherent in the
burning “cur.es" and can safely be
used in hot dry spells when the bugs
are busiest and fire danger rules out
the burning technique.

place on your chin doing there?

There is a story that goes some-

.Once a woman went bt fore an
'old priest and asked what she could |
do to undo the things she had -aid
! about a person ‘Now,” she said,
I “I find I was w rong and I want to '
make up tor it.” The priest pick-1

blow until all the seeds were cast j
on the winds When she hadj
finished he said, “Now get me I
J every seed you have blown away.”!
Helplessly she looked at him, “But |
that is impossible ” “So is it im- j
possible to take back those words
you said. Each of them, where-
ever it falls will make another
! dandelion and those will make
seed. Don’t you see what demage
your idle talk has done.
Let’s each strive to do our bit
by not condemning our fellow man
until we understand him and what
he has to face. Remember, that
often we would pity where now
we blame if we only understood
that persons heart.

Need Compassion'
I do not know how any Christian
service is to be fruitful if the serv-
ant is not primarily baptized in the
spirit of a suffering compassion.
We can never heal the needs we
do not feel. Tearless hearts can
never be the Heralds of the Passion.
We must pity if we would redeem.
Preserving l’aint Brush
The amateur painter has a prob-
lem—how to keep his brushes dur- I
ing the long intervals between one
little job and the next. For the pro-
fessional who uses his brushes every
day, the problem is not so neute.
HoweVer, the problem has been
6olved by a handy flat can with 1
a removable cover that has a hole |
in it that allows the brush handle to i-
protrude. So far nothing unusual, j
But now comes the little trick that
makes it something. A rubber eol- 1
lar pushed down the handle seals
the opening in the cover, prevents !
evaporation of the solvent and al-
lows the brush to hang freely—a
