Mr. McLean has had a successful muni- cipal career and after serving several terms as councillor of Goderieh was elected to the reeveship.

Arrange such a party for your fellow camera fans, IYV7RRSNEVBR snapshooters get to- since outdoors at night short time gather, the season is ripe then tor a snapshot party. Such a party is a splendid entertainment„ idea - whether its intention is serious pie-' ture•taking or just plain snapshot fun. The partycan take two forms. Guests can be sent out on a "picture- hunt"—each one assigned to bring back snapshots of a certain :type. Or, a room can be fitted up with a few photo lights at the host's home, and each guest given a picture idea to Diesel/M. Guests should be told to bring their cameras, loaded with suitable film.' Since most patties will be held at night, the preferred film is one of the naw high speed "super" type. The host should also obtain a few simple exposure guides, to as- sist guests who have not had much experience in taking night pictures. For a picture hunt, one guest can be assigned to picture street scenes; anather can picture shop windows, and another can take snaps of elec- tric signs. Brightly -lighted subjects' without mnovement should be chosen, exposures will be nedessary with most cameras. Though if any of the guests have ultra -fast -lens cameras, give them stiffer assignments. For an "at home" party, a list of picture -titles should be prepared. Humorous titles or assignments are preferable, and guests can serve as models for each picture. One per- son could be assigned to ,picture a characterization of Napoleon. An- other could picture an Indian climb- ing a mountain, and a third might be told to portray a dachshund view- ing a skyscraper. The more outland- ish the titles, the more 'room they leave for the picture -taker's imagi-' nation—and the more fun he will have arranging his picture. Properly, snapshot parties should bo planned as a series—each mem- ber of a group holdirig one. Then, pictures taken at one party could be exhibited at the next. Such, a party series can provide entertain- ment all season for a group of corn- era fans—and it would be a delight- ful project for a camera club. 212 John van Guilder. street Methodist Church.

Mr. Roy East arrived home Wed- nesday to attend the funeral of his mother who died last Thursday after noon. Hot Water Eye Doctor Hot wateris one of the best eye doctots. Often simple inflammations may be stopped by its use. The dan- ger, of course, lies in diagnosis. The inflammation may be complex, not simple. If hot applications do not give ease and relief shortly, take the eyes to the doctor. Water for this usage should be only hot enough to help, not hot enough to burn. The application is to be made to the tightly. biased — and kept tightly closed eye. Under no circumstances 'keep the eyes meet while bathing them. The idea is to increase the circulation in the lids, and by that means help the rest of the eye if it needs help. This is perhaps unscien- tific, but extremely practical. Often it works — and that is what the person involved wants. "Wean enough clothing when out- doors and not to much when inside," says a health authority. But what is "enough" or "not too much"? In some homes, it's warm enough to go around in your B.V.D.'s and in others .you need goloshes and an extra overcoat. THREE TABERNACLES An Exposition of Matthew 17:1-9 REV. GORDON A. PEDDIE, B.A. iI iwhat to say". What he did say was, To get an adveltiser to use a particular newspaper is, speaking broadly, "Let us snake three tabernacles; one a difficult matter. Salesmen representing publications have a' very stiff ob meet with tremendous Ido f ' t Advertisers h Little Talks en Advertising • (By JOHN C. KIRKWOOD) (Copyright Reserved). The Resurrection of the dead,! This, and this alone is the power by means of which the Apostles were enabled to •see the significance of the man, Jesus of Nazareth. It is the Resur- rection, with its consequent gift of the Holy Spirit, which makes 11 pos- sible—as God's possibility—for the Apostles to find in the despiised, re- jected and crucified Son of mar the Eternal Son of God. Yet even before the resurrection there were certain manifestations given which pointed beyond them- selves to the hidden Christ—by which manifestations it was given to the Apostles to confess their Lord. The miracle of Jesus may be regarded as 'signs' pointing beyond themselves to the absolute miracle of the resurrec- tion. The insight bestowed upon Peter by the Father in heaven whereby the Apostle is enabled to confess Jesus as the Christ (see last week's ex. position) is yet another example of the disclosure, before the resurrec- tion, of that which does not come to pass historically until Christ is risen. The story of the 'transfiguration of Jesus', the subject of our present exposition, must be regarded in the same light: it provides the Apostles with a glimpse, before the time, into the glory of the risen Lord, while yet, until after the crucifixion, they shall know him only as. the humiliat- ed, suffering servant of flesh and blood. It is because these manifesta- tions,including. the tra i transfiguration, are just glimpses of an event not yet accomplished within this world, which compels our Lord to say (as he said also on many occasions when he per- formed miracles), that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead" (v 9). II Now in our Scripture we are brought face to face with the prophet Moses (as lawgiver), with the proph- et Elijah (as representative of the other prophets) and with Jesus Christ. We must, therefore seek to an)zwer the quesijion, What is the relationship between Moses and Eli- jah and Jesus; between the law and the praphete and the Son of God? The relationship may be said to be twofold; First, the law and the prophets are not Contrary to, but are in agreement with the Son of God, Jesus comes not to destroy, but to fulfill that to which the law and the prophets witness. Indeed, Jesus Christ is the hidden meaning, ,the true sig. nificance of the law and the prophets. "Search the Scriptures," .sada Jesus, "for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life , . . For had ye believed Moses, ye would have be- lieved me: for he wrote of ME" (John 5:39, 40, 46. God's revelation of Himself does not progress from lower to higher stages (as the modern church would have us believe) as we pass from the Old to the New Testament, but rather the Old and the New Testaments are ONE WORD,the reality and the harmony which is Jesus Christ. This mutual agreement of the law and the prophets with Jesus •Christ as their reality is indicated in our Scripture by the fact that Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus and talk with Rim (v 4). Luke tells us that the subject of the conversation was "Jesus' de- cease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem." By this it is clearly in- dicated that the law and the prophets not, only have Christ' as their true Theme, but also that even before the time they point to Christ in. His cap- acity as the Fulfilment of the law— fulfilling the law by bringing it to anend in his sacrificial death. This brings us to the second aspect of the relationship between the law and the prophets and their Lord: Since Jesus is in agreement with the law and the prophets as the true content, and the 'goal' of their testi- mony, He is therefore also the END of the law and the prophets. Having testified of Him, and having testified of His death (by which death they themselves are brought to an end) the law and the prophets, that is, Moses and Elijah, may disappear from the scene. --Arid this is precisely what is indicated in our Scripture. Just es, at a later date, out of the darkness of the crueifixion—in which, in the flesh of Jesus, the law and the proph- ets are put to death—there emerges on the third day the glorious Christ as SOLE VICTOR; so also in this manifestation of Chris't's glory given 'before the time', out of the cloud which overshadows Moses and Elijah`. and Jesus there comes a voice giving authority to ONE ONLY as the Word to be heard. And there remains no man, save Jesus only, with the Apostles (vv 7, 8). job; they a m 1 us. amounto" resistance. ver'isers have for thee, and one for Moses and one just se much moneyto spend on advertising in the course of .a forElias."
