THE TRANSFIGURATION. _Raphael, Plate 89,_ has given upon one canvas, and that one of the most famous in the world, the Transfiguration, and that which took place at the same time at the foot of the mountain. (Luke 9:28-36, and Mark 9:14-29.) _Plate 90_ is a part of the same picture. Compare the details of both of these plates with the scriptural account! No artist ever packed more literal and spiritual truth into a single canvas. [Illustration: The Transfiguration.] Plate 89. _The Transfiguration._ Raphael. 1483-1520.

By way of illustration "He took a little child in his arms and said unto them, Whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Mark 9:36, Matt. 18:4.) _Ballheim, Plate 97,_ suggests this event. [Illustration: Jesus and the Child.] Plate 97. _Jesus and the Child._ H. Ballheim. AT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES. The Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Jesus a woman taken in adultery. _Hofmann, Plate 91,_ depicts the scene most graphically, at the moment when Jesus says, "Let him that is without sin cast the first stone." [Illustration: Christ and the Sinner.] Plate 91. _Christ and the Sinner._ H. Hofmann. 1824- _Signol, Plate 92,_ does not show the woman "in the midst" as did Hofmann, but after they had gone out one by one, when Jesus was left alone with the woman. The words, "Let him that is without sin," etc., are written upon the pavement because of verses 6 and 8, where it is said that Jesus wrote upon the ground.

(John 8:12-30.) _Hunt, Plate 93,_ has idealized the words of Jesus, and added the thought expressed in Rev. 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." The picture shows also, without doubt, the influence of the well-known hymn, by Mrs. Stowe, "Knocking, knocking, who is there?" Every detail of this picture is symbolical, and most exquisitely painted. [Illustration: "I am the Light of the World."] Plate 93. _"I am the Light of the World."_ Holman Hunt. 1827- _Overbeck, Plate 94,_ emphasizes the thought in Rev. 3:20. [Illustration: "Behold, I stand at the Door and Knock."] Plate 94. _"Behold, I stand at the Door and Knock."_ Overbeck. 1789- 1869. _Plockhoerst, Plate 99,_ has attempted to put into a single picture the wealth of meaning suggested by the wondrous words, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt, 11:28.) Humanity is symbolized by the pilgrim who needs comforting. [Illustration: Christ the Consoler.] Plate 99. _Christ the Consoler._ B. Plockhoerst. 1825-
