Golden Text—"There came a voice met of the cloud, -This is my beloved Son; hear ye him."—Mark g:e. THE LESSON IN ITS. SETTING Time—The transfiguration 'n the summer of. A. D. 29, the third year of Christ's ministry. Peter's two E- pistles were probably written at some time during the decade A. D. 55-65. Place—The transfiguration probably occurred on a spur of Mount Hermon near Casearea Philippi, in the extreme north of Palestine. Probably Peter wrote his two Epistles at Rome and perhaps in prison. CHRIST REVEALS HIS GLORY And after six, days. It was after Peter's cOnfession of Jesus as the Son of God, recorded in our last less- on . Jesus,taketh with him Peter, and James and John. These were the three disciples who loved, Jesus most ardently and whom He Himself loved most deeply. Peter was prob- ably the- oldest of the Tweleve and John the youngestl. James was to be the first to suffer martyrdoni. Peter was to be crucified like his Lord, but head downward, •at his own re- quest. John was to live to be near- ly a century old, as an honored preach- er and pastor, and was to become the author of the best -loved book in the w,ritteld, the Fourth Gospel. The -three had been honoredby admission to the room where Christ raised from the dea4 the daughter of Jairus, and they alone were to witness' Christ's agony in Gethsemane. • And bringeth them up into a high 0111=1/1!IIIME10- ere reee • , ererl,,!•'re rer •• ,r ... .......enenteteeae Thureday, AprU niat e9•27 Upper Left: Boiled ..p being poured onto snow — a Very popolar dellericy.

Lower Right: Tapping the trees in odd -winter. n neof the sure signs of spring about the Cana- dian Pacific Express yards in Montreal is the appearance of large consignments of maple sugar pass- ing through/their hands for local distribution and outside shipment. • Some of the shipments are des- tined to points out west. In the main these are to former residents of Quebec who become homesick for this Canadian delicacy and send an order through their friends in the east. ' • The maple sugar industry is one that has been carried on in Quebec for many years. The syrup and sugar made in this province have established a reputation for purity. Adulterating the syrup with cane sugar is a practise that is strictly guarded against. • ' Old-time maple sugar bees are still held all over the province with the melting of the snow and the first running of the sap in the trees at around the end of March and the first two weeks of April, while the product is one of the most useful appertaining to the farming industry since it brings en much needed money at a time when that commodity is Seerce. A good example of a typical French-Canadian maple syrup farn$js the one owned by Hiram Foster, at Knowlton, Quebec. In this case the trees, which number 1,400, are tapped in mid -winter by men who -travel the woods on snowshoes and commence the sr• work. The trees are tapped at the snow line, which is about three or four feet from the ground. By gathering time the cans are high above the ground. Large trees take two cans and small ones one can, while the trees are never tapped in the same places as in .former year. • The method of tapping is to hang _he cans on the taps and allow the sap to drip into them and all cans are properly protected so that no unsanitary land fore-ign substances can collect in them. The success of any season 'depends largely on the weather. The best seasons are those when there are night frosts ftwilethdasyn.owstill on the ground which thaws during The maple trees attain a circumference in some cases of ten to twelve feet. The method when the sap is gathered is to bring it to a shack in the woods and boil it until all the water evaporates and pure maple syrup is left. , The maple w o o ds in the Eastern Townships section I of the province are a beautiful sight at maple sugar- ing time. Citizens of Montreal take the opportunity, yearly to go out into the woods and eat the fresh., made sugar. On these sugarrini 'parties members fill cans with fresh snow. On top of the snow they piaci" the boiling maple sugar. When the sugar cools they hays g most exquisite delicacy. ' The in1ustr3f is still in ife infant stage. When the Canadian government finally makes it a penal offence all over the Dominion to adulterate maple sugar, thus protecting the farmer, thousands of acres, will be brought into profitable exploitation and mil- lions of dollars will accrue to the farmer.. Once any- one has tasted the pure sugar, and especially on the spot 'of its production, a lifethne habit is formed that is unlikely ever to be brokn. mountain apart by themselves. Many lofty ridges and peaks were near by all belonging to the great snow -clad Mount PIermon,the most beautiful and cordpicuous mountain in Pales- tine or Syria. And he was transfig- •ured before them, Luke merely saysthat "the fashion of his counten- j ance was altered." • Very likely the change took place as He was com- muning with His heavenly Father. for us to be here. Christ had been talking with Peter about going ,to ,Jerusalem, there to suffer many things and to die on the cruel cross. And let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and ohe for Moses, and one I for Elijah. At the Jewish feast of Tabernacles, the worshippers dwelt for the duration of the feast outdoors in boaths of leafy boughs, woven to- gether. For he knew not what to answer,- for'.they became sore afraid. Peter shared in the fear and amazement of his comrades, and hardly knew what • was saying, His proposal was thoughtless and foolish; no yonder And his garinents became glisten- ing, exceeding white, so as Ito fuller on • earth can whiten them. His garments where as white as the light, the divinity within Him flowed over His robe, bathiegeit In shining splen- dor; He was clothed with light as with a •:•garment. And there appeared Unto them Eli- jah with Moses. Moses was the great founder of the Jewish nation, the writer of its laws, and Elijah was the acknowledged chief of the Jewish prophets. Both were remarkable in their deaths, for Moses was buried by the haled of God Himself, rio man knowing his burial place, and 'Elijah was borne away to heaven in a fiery • whirlwind. Thus the history of these two bore witness to the especial re- gard in which they were held by the Father of 011j: Lord; it is they above •all others with whom we shmild have expected Christ to commune at this jimeture. And they were talking. with ;resus. And Peter answereth and saith to ;Testis .

PETER BEARS WITNESS For we did not follow cunningly devised fables , Peter refers to the false doctrines and fanciful teachings of the religious imposters of the day, such as Simon the sorcerer whom Paul •encountered. They dealt in fables, myths, allegories; but the Christian' apostles set forth facts: When we made known unto you the power and corning of our Lord. Jesus Christ Peter may be referring to what he wrote in his first Epistle a- bout the second coming of Christ, or he may have in mind some other writ- ing of his • which has' not come down to us. Perhaps some writ- ing in which he described Christ:s pro- phesietl coming in the clouds with great glory, such glory as kehad shown in this transfiguration scene. But we were eye -witnesses of his ma- jesty. Both of the Greek nouns us- ed in this .sentence have relation, to the most exalted phases of the Greek ,r.eligion. For he received from God the Fait er honor and glory. The honor was God's voice sounding from heav- en in attestation of the Son; the glory was the outshining of Christ's inner divine radiance. Both are attributed, to God rather than to Christ Him- self, which is just as Christ would have had it, for He Himself said, "The Son can`do nothing of himself but what he seeth the Father doing." When tHere was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory.. The shining splendor of Christ's transfig- ured body was not only from the Father, but was the Father, and so is represented here as speaking: the voice was uttered by the Majestic Glory. This is my licloved on M i whom 1 ern Well pleased. ft is thus that the Voice is recorded in I Matt: 17:5, where "Hear ye him" is added, as in Mark and Luke. Arid this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven. We—that is, Peter and his brother apostles, James and John. When we were with him in the holy mount. Mount Horeb was the Holy Alount of the Old Tes- ta.ment, and so was Mount Zion in Jerusalem.

It is increasingly necessary that these provisions should be stringently maintained in yew of the great increase in tourist traffic on our highways, the increase last year of 40,000 care in °ataxia and the more extended tiseof country roads by our (Am people. The new speed limit recently authorized by the Legislature adds to this necessity. Car end truck owners are urged to check their machines frequently and to renew parts which are worn or broken. Headlighte should be adjusted regularly. Glaring • lights are against the law and a menace to traffic. Simple instructions for the adjustment of headlights and a list of lenses approved by the department, may be obtained free by writing the Motor Vehicles Branch, Department of l-ligliWaes, Toronto. •• 43 If your lenses are not among those mentioned on the • list, it wotild be well to have them changed at once if you wish to avbid accident on the read and tienalty in court. Brakes and steering gear should be in perfect condi-. time so that when defied upon each part will respond to the will of the driver.
