wonderful Person of our Saviour and Lord. We honor and adore Thee,
blessed, blessed Lord, and while Thou art rejected we thy feeble
people would know more of Thyself and keep closer at Thy feet. Amen.
"We would see Jesus, for the shadows lengthen
Over this little landscape of our life,
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen,

for Elias." These were Peter's words. At the first glance they
