SNAPSHOT PARTIES
eeek-
Humorous pictures. --such as a series of a man eating a squirty grapefruit
—provide fun at a snapshot party. 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.

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.

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
