'to Pray ' Top Of Hermon Snow
1,149 words... Jesus took them apart up into that mountain. 'To pray, ' no doubt in connection with 'those sayings; 's ince their reception required quite as much the direct teaching of the Heavenly Father, as had the previous confession of Peter, of which it was, indeed, the complement, the other aspect, the twin height. And the Transfiguration, with its attendant glorified Ministry and Voice from heaven, was God's answer to that prayer. What has already been stated, has convinced us that it could not hav...

Eyes Of A Child Stolen Party Heker's
537 wordsFor some time now I have been attempting to delve into modern literature outside the English tradition. This of course poses several problems. First is the question of translation, as no text can ever be fully appreciated except in its original language. Moreover, it is impossible to fully understand another culture while having lived wholly removed from its tradition. However, there are a certain number of authors (and translators) who manage to write in such a way as to allow the mono-linguist...
