1. On tho Mountain, tt. 2 6. Peter's
confession li conneetod closely with
the lesson for today. There Is no rec
ord of the Intervening "six days." We
are left to surmlso what of fear and
perplexity Oiled tho mlndi of the dls
clplci after listening to tho words of
Jesus found In Mark 8:34 and 9:1.
Theie words must certainly hare
filled them with doubt and dismay.
Aa If to meet this condition of mind
Jesus takes Peter, James and John,
were also prosent In the home of
Walrus, and later went with blm Into
iftLo garden, and withdrew to a moun
'TOln, probably ML Hermon. Hero ho
waa transformed, l.o., metamorphosed,
completely changed In appearanco;
read carefully tho parnllol accounts.
Moses tho lawgiver and Elijah tho ,
great reform prophet. What a com
mentary aa to tho Interest of hoaven
In a dying Messiah and In the glory
of that death.
Wo need to read Paul's Inspired
words (Phil. 2:0,7) In this connec
tion, ilo who thought It not a prlte
to bo grasped after to be oqual with
God. yet took upon himself tho form
of a slavo and was mado In tho habit men explained tho value and econo
or fashion of a man. Upon tho moun- my of cerenls, properly cooked, ln
taln Jesus reversed tho flguro and tlm dudlng bread making, nnd the can

that glory which ho had with tho n1 commending tho energy cf

onco moro ho turns back upon that nm, ,,rC8enc( rf Mr Montgomery, the

Peter should exclaim: "Rabbi, It lsiaml of U"r Co,,,,Kc

thrco tabernacles (booths), one for 1 uTh giving directions for tho Selec
thco, ono for Moses and ono for Ell-' tlon of Sued Corn and the mulnten
Jih." Notice, however, that Peter 'unco of fertility In soils.
pane -ror no wist not wnai to say
(v. 6). Mark nlono records theso I ,
words, and Mark largely received his ,
gospel from Peter.
Three Heavenly Voices Heard.
Wo have only to read 2 Peter, 1:16-'
18 to answer any Question as to this
being a vision In tho modern accept-1
ance of that term. We nro also told ,
mat tno word -vision - round in verso i
or tno lesson can do translated,
"thliiira Bonn." Indeed the dlsclulea
"things seen." Indeed tho disciples
wero "fully awake" (Luko 9:32 R. V.).
Tho question as to how tho disciples
could recognlio Moses and "Elijah,
whom they had never socn. Is not at
all difficult for tho believer. They ap-'
peared "In glory" and when tho glory
was withdrawn thoy saw "no man '
savo Jesus." I
This also servos to help answer tha
question, "Shall wo recognize In glory
thoso whom wo hnvo lost nwkllo?"
Three heavenly voices wero heard.
Jesus' volco In prayer, ltu compan
ions conversing of that great event
yet to bo accomplished (Luko 9:31)
nnd tho volco of God, "TIiIb is my bo
loved (only begotten) Son; hear him."
What matters tho opinions of earth's
greatest lawyers and prophets, or the
suggestions of our dearest friends
Fear fell upon them and thoy fell '
upon their faces In humiliation, but J
w ith tender compassion Jojub said .
soma llkn ft rrhiikc in Voter who hnd I
ft
froely protested against tho sugges-
, 1
on of tbo manner of his death.
Jesus transfiguration nnd tho words 1
of his companion, as well as tho conv
mand of the Father, wero a vlndtca
tlon of hla authority and a rovelatton
in advance of tho supromo wonder of
the cross. Arising thoy "saw no man
savo Jesus." It la far better to "see
him" than to seo, hold converse with,
or havo communion with, the great
est of earth, past or present.
S. Tho descent, v. 9:13. As they
deicondcd from tho mountain Jesus
charged them to toll no man. Vory
dlfforont from our modern method.
Rut the need Is clearly shown as wa
read Peter's words (3 Peter, 1:16-21).
Poter places great emphasis upon tho
Importanco of this experience, declar
ing himself as an eyewltnoss of his
"roajosty" aa well as the "honor and
glory." Peter and tho others could
not talk intelligently of this export
ence until after Christ's work waa
"finished" upon Calvary, vindicated at
the tomb and glorified on tho day of
Pentecost. Honco they "kept that
saying with themselves," obeying his
injunction of silence.
The transfiguration is a glorious
fact; It Is a wondrous light upon tho
"scandal of tho cross;" a wonderful
rovolatlon of tho glory which "ha had
beforo tho world;" and It Is a
propbocy of tho glory yet to be re
vealed. It sorved to help tho dis
ciples during thoso days of darkness
and doubt through which thoy wero
about to pass and It has boon an In
spiration to the Christian church
throughout tho subsequent ages. It
is also a most significant warning.
'"This Is- my son, my chosen; bear ye
blm;" and a pronouncement upon his
work and offlco.

down soils produce again as well ,v

land, but with tho peoplo farming It,
nnd their methods,' stoutly declare
Dr. Whitney.
"Tho Rurenu of Soils Is trying to
find out all I'bout tho changes In
soils that aro wrought as a result of
cultivation. It declares that tho min
eral and metal basis changes very,
very little. The products of vegetable
and animal growth, on tho other
hand, chango greatly and modify
soli qualities very much. One will
bo useful and benevolent, another
vicious and harmful.
"A certain toll, onco producing ex
cellent crops of wheat, had becomo
"exhausted." Cow-peas ground very
flno wero applied and It was found
they had restored tho soil; it produ
ced a good crop, and did tho thing
throo times In succession; then tho
soil lapsed back Into Its first condi
tion of non-productlvlty.
"Why did the cow-peas have that
effect? Tho Rureau took Ilka proiwr
tlons of iratash. Phosphoric acid nnd
nitrates tho plant food elements f
cow-peas and put them Into tho
soil; nnd It didn't produce tho effect
of restoring Its fertility. Tho point
seemed to bo that theso various ele
ments, mixed together nnd applied lo
tho ground, didn't have tho genulno
ow-iea effect.
"Doctor Whitney In a recent nd
dress gave this explanation of tho
operations within tho soil of various
agents Introduced through rotation uf
crops. Ho Bco:n8 to have a consld r-
nblo backing of authority and ex
perience In favor of his theory that
fertilization Is, at least, much less
necessary. If scientific rotation !s
followed. His bureau's problem Is, to
develop the correct scientific rota
tion for various soils and climates.'
GET READY FOR WINTER TERM
Tho Winter Term of Derea College
opens on Wednesday, Jan. 1. Stu
dents should be on hand If possible
011 Monday or Tuesday, but It Is not
advisable, for them tc come before
that tlmo.
Tho attendance lu all departments
has been growing very rapidly, nnd
last winter a good many students had
to bo turned away for lack of ac
commodations. This year some new
buildings aro under construction, and
several dwelling houses will be
equipped for use of students. It 's
vory Important, however, for all that
are Intending to ba hero to engage
rooms In ndanco. A moment'c thought
will show that It Is Impossible) to
provido accommodations for an un
limited number of students on short
notice. All who intend to bo hero
for tho Winter Torm should wrlto
Immediately, and send Ono Dollar for
deposit for reservation of a room ho
that wo shall bo sure they aro really
coming. I shall bo glad to correspond
and answer questions.

A BEREA PIONEER
Tho Citizen Is In receipt of a let
ter from Mr. Andrew J. Elder of
Rcdlands, Cat., who was born and
raised In Rerca. Its contents will no
doubt bo of Interest, to many of tho
older residents of tho town as It
most Burcly will to tho Collego. Tho
letter follows:
Redl-md, Cnl., Nov. 12, 1012.
Editor of Thu Citizen,
Dear Sir:
I was born In Derea, tho 1.1th day
of Nov., 1830. In tho year MS, Prin
cipal J, A. R. Rogers taught me my
a, b, c's In tho little old humble cot
tago whero n-iw stands tho district
school In Rerca. Principal Rogers
was not only n good teacher but a
good man. I have known him to
deprive hlrasolf of tho comforts cf
llfo to supply tho wants of his neigh
)ors. I do not know whether Mrs.
Rogers is still living but I want to
pay her this tribute sha was a kind,
good woman.
Thero Is no placo dearer to my
heart than Rerca, tho spot where 1
was born and raised. Not even Cali
fornia with her snow-peaked moun
tains In summer and her geraniums
blooming In mid-winter can surpass,
In my estimation, tho dark gro-n
mountains that slope off to tho bluo
grass regions of Kentucky. Memory
brings back now thoso sweet scenes
of tho days of my childhood.
Tho Principals of ncrea College
that I can remember were, John (J.
Fee, J. A. R. Rogers, John Hanson,
E. Lincoln and John F. Drlghten.
I romember that Father Fee's mot
to was "God hath mado" all nations
of men of one blood." How I wish
ho could hava lived In San Diego dur
ing the freo speech trouble there.
I shall nevor ceaso to thank tho
northern people, nnd capeclally Presi
dent Frost, for tho good work that
has been done for the mountain peo
plo of Kentucky thru Derea College.

other Interest that Is greater with you
than the people's Interest?'
"I would Ilka to see these men
trotted out', so we all may know what
they look like and what their connec
tions are.
"It was determined add partly ar.
ranged to employ Louis D. Drandeis,
'The People's Lawyer,' of Boston, as
published on April 12, 1912, In the
making of tho tentative and final as
sessments by the Roard, It necessary,
but wo did without his services, and
now that tho assessments have been
made and tho eight big corporations
have Instituted suit against the State
it is hoped that It Mr. Drandeis, who is

unable to accept employment In de

be employed ono or two other counsel,
tbo best to be had In tbo United Stated
whom Mr. Rraiidols may recommend
to the Attorney-General to assist In
representing the State.
"Ability, known loyalty to tho cause
and assured freedom from corporation
taint, should bo the gauge to govern In
the selection of an attorney to assist
In the defense of the State's, and tht
counties' Interest.
"When 'first I determined to givo
myself to this work of compelling ade
quate taxation of corporations, I knew
they would Invoke every power of the
world, the flesh and the devil that
oould possibly, by fair means or foul,
ba commanded to aid them to prevent
the carrying out of my designs, which
were already a part of tho just law )?
the land, and I have not been disap
pointed. Committee To Assist Lawyers.
"For years I have known the public
men of the State and from many
eligible to be chosen for such service
I have thought of some who have
studied these questions and wbo know
who can be trusted to assist In the
effort to have your counties enjoy
what the law Intended, and what the
presont State Board of Valuation anil
Assessment by Its 1912 assessments
has made possible ot realization. These
men I am not afraid to trust to act In
an advisory capacity In the premises,
they are and have been prominent In
the affairs of the State. I refer to
Governor James D. McCreary, Attorney-General
'ames Garnett, Hon. Can
slus M. Clu., of Bourbon County, and
Hon. James Richardson ot Barren
County. I would like to be honored by
being on that? committee, because of
my Infinite Interest In this matter. I
have drawn a form ot contract which
I shall read and hand to your Secre
tary and submit for your considera
tion. I feel that its fairness will at
once address Itself to your honest In
telligence, and I beg that you return
to your home county and urge upon
the Individual members ot your county
fiscal court that It be promptly ex
ecuted, so that our forces may be en
listed and organized for this legal bat
tle, tho nrst skirmish of which must
be fought on the 20th day of tho pres
ent month in tho Federal Court hero
In Frankfort.
Plan for Securing Counsel.
"This, of course, only with the un
derstanding that your fiscal court will
want to make any contract at all for ,
special counsel. I have never thought
much of this plan for securing the em
ployment of the needed special coun
sel In these cases because, at best,
when special counsel are employed
and paid, the people bear the expense
and If the counties rather than the
State employ and pay, It Is only taking
money out of the left-hand pocket
Instead of the right the people, In the
end, have to pay all the expense any
way. I turned to this plan only when i
found or there seemed to be no other
way to satisfy the Attorney General
and to get for the people the needed
special counsel. The Attorney General
himself proposed to me the 20 per
cent as a fee to be paid by the coun
ties to Mr. Rich, and said that he would
secure the making of such a contract
with Mr. Rich by five counties, and
named them. When this matter was
first proposed to me I said I would
have nothing to do with the matter
unless there was a clause In the con
tract which would give absolute pro
tectlon to the people to prevent any
lawyer from being paid an excessive
fee for the services rendered. I have
labored for months .and years to bring
about the assessment made In 1912.
and that without compensation, and It
III becomes any man to say that hs
has a greater desire to economize In
the Interests of the people than have
I. In the form of contract, I shall sub
mit, I have safeguarded the people by
providing a committee of honorabl:
men to see to It that no man havj
more than a reasonable fee and that,
together with all other expenses to
the counties, to be within the limit of
the 20 per cent suggested by the A
torney General.
"The eight suits that have bce.i
brought against the State and conn
ties must be fought through all Fed
eral and State courts and are ot vital
Importance. They Involve for the State
382,389 and for the counties, cltlej
and taxing districts 2823,396, or a total
annualy of $1,205,786.
"I feel that your approval of the
form of contract which I have sub
mitted will prove your loyalty to your
constituents and In the end will ac
complish great and everlasting good
for your home county people and all
Kentucky.
A Saddening Picture.
"Behind the scenes there Is a pic
ture that Is saddening to me In con
nection with all this matter. Our
State, the treat State of Kentucky, li
rendered Impotent, because the Gov
ernor, the chief executive of our8taie,
and the Attorney General cannot agree
as to the need of the people. The
Governor Is In favor of additional
counsel, and the Attorney-General says
he has enough, and Is willing to accept
the responsibility of this fight, and
carry on these suits with the forces
he now hai. I. say the responsibility
Is too much to ask him to assume.
"We are fighting a monster, we are
fighting a demon that will resort to
anything and they tried everything
but murder to prevent the board from
making these assessments.
"They have attempted to corrupt
the Board of Valuation and Assess
ment, and they will go further to at
tain their end. If they can, they will
corrupt the courts, as they have don;
ere this. And that Is what I want to
convince , cu of and warn you against.
Protect yourselves and others In theee
cases and have lawyers who will maka
the facts so clear that there can be
but one cou'se open to the courts, and
then they will follow It"
