A week ago last Sunday We deliver.
ed the third of a series of sermon on
the subject of the TRANSPORTATION.
We give the concluding to-
night of our exposition of this won
derful passage of Scripture.
The thirty fourth ers reads !,
''There came a cloud ; not a cloud of
darkness. but a cloud of light. and
overshadowed them. How could q
luminous cloud overshadow the disci-
piles? Because it was light of such
intensity that it would have the same
effect as darkness.
Milton wrote :"Dark with excess of
light. Philo. the philosopher. speaks
of the highest light as identical with
darkness.
Turn to the book of Exodus: Here
it is written-"And Moses drew near
unto the thick darkness where God
was." But God dwells in light and
God is light, and in Him is no dark
ness at all and this is the kind of
darkness where God was. 1t vas sc
dazzlingly bright that it had the same
effect as darkness.
And this was the kind of q cloud
that overshad o 9 d them on the
Mount. 1t was a luminous cloud
a cloud of light so dazzlingly bright
that it overshadowed and concealed.
"And they feared as they entered
the cloud" Who can wonder! Com
ing on the top of such experiences as
they had had it was a most natural
feeling for them to have.
"And there came a voice out of the
cloud saying. "This is my beloved
Son: hear Him." This reveals that
the TRANSPORTATION vision was meant,
not only for the strengthening of the
Master, but also for the disciples.
They had a renewed faith and q seren
er confidence in the divinity of their
Master and His mission than they
ever had before n this confidence
begetting, inspirational influence of
the Mount was to linger with them in
their after lives. And how much
would they need it after Christ's
death and ascension. as they went
about preaching the Word, fighting
foes without. and invisible foes with

We need to 90 up the mountain

\ 1t should hardly seem necessary to
Smonish the people Of Friday Har-
Gor of the Importance of a good sew
erage system. The health Of any COM
munity depends largely upon sanitary
conditions and these are bound to be
bad unless some provision be made
for dispoisng of the sewage of the
town. Any move on the part of the
council looking to the betterment of
present conditions should receive the
hearty approval of every citizen. The
valuation of taxable property within
the corporate limits is approximately
$3.50. 600. 90. Taking this as a basis
the burden upon each taxpayer would
be two and a half per cent, provided
the improvement did not cost to eX-
coed $4,000. the council paying 25
per cent of this amount out of the
general fund. By the issuance of ten
per cent bonds for the required
amount, the payments of those assess
ed could be made in ten yearly in
stailments of two and a half mills,
raising one tenth of the amount each
year.

clared that merit alone Will u
among applicants for state positions,

that Mr.. Hay will recognize them.
The places to be filed comprise about
fifty which we're created by the last

these positions carry a salary. while
Others have expense money attached,
several involve the expenditure OF
state funds. some carry with them
power of appointing deputies or Other
patronage, and all have some honorary
perquisites. The governor is said to
be swamped with applications. Among
the most desirable positions which
Gov. Hay must fill are Railroad Com

Preparations for the coming salmon
canning season on the Fraser river
are in full swing. All of the Gamer
les will operate, and they anticipate
an output of about $50. 600 cases
The reason the figures are not placed
as high as the pack of 1905 is owing
to the gradual depletion of the run OF
salmon during recent years. The ST
washes. however, insist that, owing
to the heavy fall of snow last winter,
the salmon will run in large numbers.
and exceed all expectations.
