The following sermon was preached September 25th, by the Rev. Irving A. Searlee, in the Christian church on Oakwood boulevard : He took Peter and James and John and went up into a high mountain to pray ; as He prayed the fashion of His countenance was altered and His raiment was white and glistening. Luke is., 28, 39. Erom the mount of transfiguration come some of the most precious truths and practical lessons ot the Christian system. This sublime scene throws light upon the doctrine ot the recogni tion ot friends in the life to come. " And behold there talked with Him two men, Moses and Elias, who ap- iu glory." "While Christ and ,, A.Ua nn thia monil- tain thefe appear among them these two visitors from the unseen world. Moses, the great lawgiver, had been gone fifteen hundred years, and nine centuries had rolled away since the voice of Elias, the prophet, had been heard by the children of Abraham Though so long absent from earth, the lh" di!P,efl are b!e to recognize the Moses the other as Elias. Not withstanding they " appeared in glory they are identified as the two men who once 6tood foremost ic the Hebrew uation. The saints of all ages shall appear in glory," in robes outshining the sun iu its noodav splendor, but that doc not imply such a change that lrieuj cannot recognize friend. It Mo!-cs and Elias could be recognized after so long an absence lrom this world, may you not recognize that loved one when you enter that lite to come ? This transaction teaches that Christ not Moses, is now to be heard. " And then came a voico out of the clouds saying, J Ins is aiy neioveu ron ; near Him ; and when the voice was parsed Jesus was found alone." The Hebrew people had heretofore heard Moses. lie was their law-giver. The Jew who wishel to know the will ot God con cerning hiiri went to Moses for instruct ion. This was proper. But a new dis pensation is now to be inaugurated, and another lawgiver announced to the world. The voice from the unseen glories say not " This is Elias, hear him not " This is Moses, hear him but theso two characters are removed from view, and as Jesus remains aloue in supernatural splendor the heavens break silence with the ntteraiue " This is my Beloved Son ; hi-ar llim." Notwithstanding this p'ain state ment, it is not uncommon to find relig ious teachers still calling upon ihe world to hear Moses instead ot heating Christ. Those seeking the terms of sal vation to-day are told to read the Old Testament. I would in no sense depre ciate that portion ot God's woid. It is valuable for its history, for Us types, tor its delineation ot human character, and tor its practical lessons. But it is not that part of revealed truth which tells you and me in this age of the world what we mast do to be saved. Christ, not Moses, now announces the leirus ot pardon. In the chapter of the last book of the Old Testament is this statement : "Bemeber ye the law of Mcses, My servant, which I command ed unto him in IIreb for all Israel.'' It was the law ot Moses, not the law of Christ. It was for all Israel, not for all the world. The New Testament contains not the law of Moses, but the law ot Christ. It is not for all Israel only, but ! reads, "Go ye unto all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Travelers down the St. Croix river, as thev reach the line between the United States and Canada, find a mon, I .1-1 1. .t . ument upon one siae 01 wnicn are ine words, "The United States," and upon the other side the inscription, "The Dominion of Canada." While they read "United States'' they know that they are under the laws of this country, but alter they have passed along until they read "The Dominion of Canada" they know that they are then under another form of government. Upon the line between the Old and New Testament towers as a monument the cross upon which the Messiah died Upon one side of that monument is the woid "yoses;" upon thu other side the word "Christ." For centuries tbe na tions coming dowu the stream of time read "Moses." Then they were under the law of Moses. But by and by the line between the two great dispensations is crossed, and now we Tead tbe word , . :. .v. t.l,:.. i -jnrwfc" tirouwm o .iuS 1 that would burl ba tbe developement OREGON, JANUARY of tbe flow ot salvation until the world shall read "Moses" again. Such teach. ing is eighteen hundreJ and seventy- nine years behind tbe times. Send not the inquiring sinner to tbe Old Testa ment, but to the New. From this incident we learn that some are very selfish in religious matters. "Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, and let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elias." Let us put up three tents, and we six can have a heaven all to ourselves. Peter forgot the other disciples, the great world be neath, and the generations yet to come. He was willing to have a heaven that would contain only a half-dozen persous, provided be oould be one of tbe half- dozen. How narrow and insignificant this proposed heaven compared with the one that tbe Patmos exile saw, whereiu was gathered a "multitude that no man could number !" But Peter is not the only one follower ot Christ who would be satisfied witb a little three tent heaven. Call on some people to help in preaching the gospel, and they say we expect to reach heaven our selves, and what care we for the rest of mankind? In fact, if not protes.edly, this is the position ot many. Sucb a spirit is the death warrant of all mission ary enterprise. It is this spirit tbat says : O Lord, bless me and my wife, Brother John and his wile, Us tour and no more. One winter's evening a mother and four little children, in a sleigh, were passing through oue ot the dense forests of Ilussia. They have been visiting a neighbor, and are returning home. As night conies on the howling ot wolves in the distance is heard by the little party. The hordes are urged forward at their highest speed. Soou the whole pack ot the pursuers, gaunt, hungry ar.d ferocious, have overtaken the fugitives and are about to leap into the tleiyl The mother seizes her youngest child and throws it out into the midst ot the howling beasts. To kill and devour the helpless innocent delays the wolves a tew moments, and the remainder o the company hurry on. Again tbe' wolves rurround them, and another child is thus sacrificed. Another and another is treated in -the same way until the mother alone resched her home It is said that when she related to her husband the story of her ercspe he seized an ax and split her head open asserting that a mother who would save her own- lite at so great a sacrifice was not fit to live. This judgment was too severe, uul wnai snail no saia 01 it at a - a . 1 1 1 A 1 . person who, it he is only able to gain heaven himself, is quite willing that all the rest ot the world should be exclud ed? Away with the idea of a three. teut heaven. We learn from this incident that some people talc very crazy on the sub- iect of religion. "Let us snake three tabernacles, one tor Thee, one tor Moses, and one for Elias, not knowing what he said.'' In religions matters how much there is ot this "not knowing what he said." There is more down right nonsense talked regarding reli gion than concerning any other theme. You will observe this iu oar Sunday school literature. Some little boy or girl is portrayed as an angel, never dis obeyed parents, never told a lie, never did anything wrong. If we read fuel a story iu The New York Ledger we say it is a lie, and hurl anathema at Bonner who will persist in publishing fiction ! When the same . nai rati ve ap pears in a Sunday-school book we say, well, it may be a lie, but it is a pious lie, anyway, and lot it go. ' This tendency is seen in our talk of special providence. A child is taken very sick, and the father, instead ot employing a physician, secures the serv ices ot a quack. The treatment is op posed to all medical scierce. The child dies. The minister standing over the little coffin, says : "A mysterious pro vidence hath done this." It is a lie a quack hath done this. No other public teacher is permitted to say so many manifestly absurd things unchallenged as is the preacher. When nonsense finds its way in the editorial column, into our courts, on the plat form, it meets with exposure. .When known absurdities come from the sacred desk decorum forbids a reply. Tbe congregation say : "Ob, tbat is reli- eion; let it go." By a tacit under standing between pulpit and pew, tbe audience feel in duty bouod to swallow everything the minister- says. l et its stop talking on religions themes as did Peter, "not kuowing what he said." 23, 1880. Learn from this subject tbat tbe ! arousing ot religious emotions is not all there is of the Christian life. Peter is in ccstacy amid these surroundings. He is desirous to remain on the mount for. ever. He says iu rapture : "It is good for us to be here." He would rather remain there than go down from the mountain and engage in the practical duties ot life. But his request is denied him. Sometimes in revival meetings you have felt the same way. Sermon, song and prayer have stirred your re- igious nature to its very depths. You have said : "Oh, that this meeting might always continue; oh, that I might live forever amid theso surround ings, and in this frame ot mind !" But religion involves more than that. There are duties outside ot the revival. Longfellow, in one ot hie poems pic tures a youth who in winter seizes a banner and begins the atceut of a moun tain. He gradually leaves behind him the Melds, the workshops, the dwellings, the neighbors. As he rises higher and higher he shouts "Excelsior 1" His voice grows ff.inter and fainter until heard no more. He has gone so high that the atmosphere in which he mover is so thin it will not sustain life, and he dies. So it is no uncommon thing to see profebsed Christians taking the ban ner of the cross in a revival, and crying "Hallelujah!" "Aiuen!" rise higher and higher emotionally, until they leave behind this practical world. They are too high up to give much attention to such matters ai telling tbe truth, keeping their temper, restraining the tongue from slander, and paying their debts. They have become too religious to give attention to these things. But this class of persons soon reach an altl tude where-the atmosphere is too thin lor them to live, and they die. It is not the emotional, but the prac tical, part of religion that is most dif ficult to observe. It is easier to shout in a revival than to go home and put up a stove and fit the pipe without at least thinking swear. It is related of a deacon in one of the New Jngland states that he would, -in prayer-meeting, pronounce the words "blessed Jesus" in a tone so pathetic that it moved the congregation to tears. That same man has recently been arrested for stealing sheep. It is one thing to say "blessed Jesus" on Sunday, and another thing to let the sheep alone on Monday. It is one thing to be religious on the mount ot transfiguration, and another thing not to deny our Lord in the world be low. I in" tead of this balloon religion let us have opo that touches the ground. A Little Heroine. It was a paradox ot ours that Jessie's t-trong point was her weakneFS. She was a pretty little thing, as timid as a mouse, bhe was atraid ot thunder, of the dark, of rats and ot spiders. She was afraid of policemen, of being left alone, of getting run over, and she was especially afraid ot firearms in any shape. - Jessie was my younger brother's wife. Alf used, more than any of as, to ridicule her timid ness. But I don't know that we liked her any the less for it. She was a beautiful, tender-hearted child, and simplicity itself. No one could be much annoyed by Jessie. Alf was sincerly sorry, however, tbat she was so araid of firearms, for he thought it well that women should know bow to use a pistol. Men, he said, thought it desirable to learn how to handle one, yet no cftener called to protect themselves than are women. He considered it a rare and valuable accomplishment in a lady. Yet no urgency oould prevail on Jessie to touch oue. "I don't know anything about re volvers, and I don't want to know, Alt, dear," she would say appealiugly, tears of actual distress iu her pleading eyes when he scolded her, reproaching her with the usefulness of his lessors. 1 "But I'll get you a pretty little pis tol, my dear a mere toy," he said. "Some girls girls of pluck and courage would be delighted to be taught the use of, and own a nice one, Jessie." "I know I am a dreadful coward, dear, 1 don't wonder tbat you don't love me, and prefer girls of more spirit," whimpered Jessie, beginning to cry. "Oh,, well, there, there," soothed soft-hearted AU. And then perhaps he would refrain from returning to the attack for nearly a week, tor it was hard for him to give up anything 1 e had eet bia mind opt n At length he brongh home a little revolver and tried to tempt Jessie into the use of it. "Please please excuse me, dear !" she cried so earnestly tbat I pitied and interceded in her behalf. "Don't tease her so, Alf. Where is the need of a woman learning to pro tect berselt when she has a husband to protect her?" "But I should think she would like to use this !" rejoined Alf, rather fret fully, as he took-up the elegant little instrument. "As Jessie and I nsver expect to fight a duel, or shoot a bandit at fitly paces, we don't see the fascination as you do," I said, still parrying on J sies side, for she was looking rather dismal after her scolding. Htie loved Alf devotedly, and it wounded her tender ,eonl to have him displeased with her. She stood, with varying color, ; wishing no doubt, tbat the Bcisy thing did not till her heart with horrible alarm. She loved nothing so well as gratify ins Alf ; nothing depressed her so much as disappointing him. "Oh, I wish I wasn't afraid !" she cried, so pathetically that her husband look pity on her, and caught her up in his arms with a kiss. "Well, Jessie, I won't plague you any more. I'll try to alwavs be on hand to do vour fiehtiur for yon," he said. He put the pistol on the mantle piece, warning us uot to touch it, as it was loaded,, and poor little Jstie's re lief was evident, as the end of her trouble in this direction had coma. All Summer we had expected at Cyprus Lawn, the visit of a rchool tricud of hers, and, a few days after this, a note came from MUs Fairlie saying she would be with us the follow ing day. As the young lady was a beauty ar.d heiress, Jessie laughingly warned my two marriageable brothers who re- ided with U, to get themselves up in their most killing st jle. "For there's nt knowing what may come ot Lillie's coming dowu here to visit ua, boys," she Faid. "I shall be busy with baby, and you will have to beau her about, you know, Chri. Carl, I know she will be wild to go out in your boat after water lilies." I could not but notice that these hints were not thrown away upon them, who solemnly promised to put ou their war paint and feathers npon Miss Farlie's arrival. Jessie's baby was but four months old a very tiny bit ot wax-work and' the next morning the young mother bathed and dressed it carefully, with a brave show of embroidcrv and blue sash, and put it in its carriage for Dorothy, the maid, to wheel np and down the road while her mistress was busy withiu doors. "Don't take the baby out ot sight. Dorothy," had been Jessie's last com maud. "She'll tall asleep, the darling, the fresh air always makes her drowsy, yon know, Esther ;" she t-aid to me. "And then she'll be just bright from her nap for Lillie to see first. Xillie used to be delighted with babies, and I want her to love mine; And then Jessie must needs put on her pink cambric wrapper; "because Lillie was so fastidious," and when the house was put in exquisite order, and : J .... i rilled every vsra -uikhh iw ...ao with flowers, Alf droye to the station to meet Miss Fairlie by the eleven o'clock train. - . "He most take this wrapper to pro tect LillieV dress her traveling cos tume is always so exquisite," she said running to the door just as he had darted. Then she called out : "Oh, Alf, why have you taken Black Pete ? I fear Lillie will be atraid to lide behind him!" My brother had harnessed up a fiery blooded horse he had just broken a magnificent creature, whose very whin, ny Jeisio shuddered at, and 'she would sooner have been taken to drive with a whirlwind. "Oh, no, she won't. - She int a lit tle scarecrow like you. Mi6s Fairlie is a girl of courage." ."Well, be careful,, dear Alt," she added. ' "Yes, yes," he answered, whirling out ot the yard. " ' - The station was a milo and a half away. We could see the train come in across the level, unbroken country, and, sitting on the upper piazza with my brother, I could follow, li lack Pete NO. 17. along every inch of the white winding road. '"'' You will see him coming back when ' the train is in, and yon must tell me it lie has got Lillie, Esther," called .7 er- sie from her room, where she was put. ting on tome last touches to her lre-a I placing a white rose at the throat. and another in her hair. "You ara sharp-sighted ; I am afraid she won't " come." "Chris, and Carl will watch if I Co not," I laughed, for Carl, the youngest. was iu especial killing an ay, and his mustache blacked. "You shall be duly informed, my dear." Soon the train came, and in a brief time passed the station. In a .jmoment I see Alf's carriage turned toward home. ' I did not know wliai'-rtrghttned the '. horse then, but the next iuBtaut I saw him leap upon his hind feet, and fran tically paw the air, then in a flash i time, he was tearing madly up the road. My brothers precipitated themselves to the ground. I think the piazza must have been fifteen feet from the sward of the law n, but they took the leap without a thought. As for me, being a woman, I could do nothing but tremble, weep and ring my hands, I thought." Not so Jessie. She sprang out ou the piazza and gave one wild cry "My baby." - Ah, heavens above! The dainty" baby carriage stood at the open road side, right in the path of the maddened auimal. Tho maid having gone a few" steps away to gather some clematis. It was about a rod from the house" in the direction ot the station, and we? could "see the little, dimpled, white hand tossing in the sunshine, while wo' knew the te; ti'u'o Iioie mast reach the' little helpless tiling before we could. But Chris, li -ied frantically to save his pet in the (aco of hopelessness. I saw him start toward it shouting wild'' Then little Jessie stood beside me with one little arm extended. There' was something in that small, white jeweled li3nd ; I did not see what." But the short, A.&rp explosion told the' story ! . - A scream broke from my lips, and my distended eyes taw the horse fall, and the light carraigo reel, and then ' came to a stand still iu the middle of' the road. Her aim had been 6trangely true; The animal was shot through the heart ' and his reddest blood pooled iu the' road. -'-.- And Jessie? - I turned and caught her as she was ' inking senseless on the floor of the ' piazza. "The baby the baby is saved!" he gurgled, as frhe lapsed into a faint, from which we could not rouse her for two hours. . In a tew moments Alf and Miss4 Fairlie were in the louse. The latter proved a sensible girl. She helped me ' to lay Jessie on the bed by the open1 winuow where wo used our greatest efforts to resusciiate her for a long while. " Poor little Jessie ! She opened he' " wild eyes at last, and screamed until' the root rang. She clung with hysteric ' force about her husband's nock until' some oue thought to bring her the baby. - At the sight of its fair, innocenC face, she snatched the little form, and broke into tempestuous weeping, which ' gradually softened. At last she lay quiet, -with hidden face, while wo looked pitifully at each other. Her terrible strain ot nerves render-"; ed her ill for a week. . Air hung over ' her devotedly, proud as4 could be ot,; his "little heroine," as he called her. "Bles that little right hpnd it' saved three lives !" he said, kissing it. "Poor little baby ! You know she ' could not help herself at all !" Jessie-' would say, with a quivering lip. It was Jessie' first and last shot, forr she never would touch a pistol again.
