are therefore as sessed on the seriousness of the violation as related to the acci dent potential the points have been carefully determined af ter a study of accident causes in ontario and an appraisal of a two year research study made by the university of north car olina for the american associa tion of motor vehicle adminis trators when will suspension of the licence of a driver be mandatory and how long will the suspen sion remain in effect a driver will be suspended when he accumulates 12 or more points within a two year period suspension will be for a period of three months will any points be deducted from the record of the driver following reinstatement all points accumulated will be deducted from the record upon reinstatement the oper ating record will however be retained for future reference if the driver accumulates an other 12 points within one year he will be suspended for six months is there any additional penal ty when a driver is convicted of driving while under suspen sion yes vhere there is a convic tion registered for driving while under suspension an additional six months will be added to the previous period of suspension will drivers be warned before their records show they are coming close to 12 points yes when the point total of a driver reaches 6 he will be sent a written notice advising him of the record which he has accumulated when his point total reaches 9 he will be notified to attend before an offi cial of the department for a personal interview where will a driver be re quired to attend for a personal interview the interview will be held in an urban centre as convenient to the home of a driver as pos sible he will be notified well in advance of the time and place what will take place at the interview the purpose of the interview is to give the driver an oppor tunity to show cause why his licence should not be suspend ed the review officer will- dis cuss the record with the driver and endeavour to find the cause of the record accumulated and how it can be improved the driver may be required to sub mit to a road test and a written test with respect to his ability to drive or if some question arises as to a physical or men tal disability he may be requir ed to submit a certificate from his doctor if the review officer feels that the driver realizes the seriousness of his past record and will attempt to improve his driving habits he will be placed on probation on the understand ing that any addition to his rec ord during the probation period will result in suspension if however the attitude of the dri ver is such that it appears that he docs not intend to change his habits immediate suspen sion will be recommended what will happen to a driver who falls to attend for interview when requested to do so his drivers licence may be suspended until he does come in for the interview as required does the point system take away the authority of the courts to suspend a drivers lie- out of the same incident will points be assessed for each con viction no points will only be as sessed for the conviction carry ing the greatest number of points and if the points are equal they will be recorded for one offense only if an ontario driver is con victed of a traffic violation in another province or state will such conviction be recorded on his operating record in ontario when a report is received

and he an evil spirit verses 1429 the said of a child humanly contrast between the two scenes speaking the situation was al- may be emphasized the efful- j ready hopeless but now it is gent radiance of the saviours glory on the one hand and the abject misery of a demonpos sessed boy on the other the great artist raphael has paint ed a masterpiece highlighting this contrast but the continua tion the close association be tween the two events merits dose scrutiny the transfigured christ is also lord of demons disease and despair four items stand out in bold relief first the vision of the trans figured son of god mark 9 3 this was a reminder of seen as impossible with men the evil was more deeply root ed than appeared on the sur face it was chronic verse 22 it hath cast him into the fire and into the waters if thou canst do any thing have compassion and help us the internal suf fering was intense enough but the external consequences were deadly the fathers sole re course was to christ was even he able to intervene with any hope of success verse 23 jesus said if i thou canst believe all things who he actually is and a pre- are possible to him that bellev- view of his coming glory the

before you drink an ontario resident has been convicted in another province or state of a traffic violation such conviction will be made a part of the operating record of the driver and the usual number of demerit points may be as sessed against his record when a person forfeits bail given upon a charge for a vio lation will points be assessed yes points will be assessed in the same manner as if a con viction were registered can a motorist clear his rec ord of points by careful driv ing yes points are deducted two years from the date they were recorded a driver who has ac cumulated several points can therefore have same removed and reduce his total to 0 by careful driving is the point system in opera tion in any other provinces or states yes over twenty provinces and states are operating a sys tem similar in many respects to the ontario system now can a driver escape the assignment of demerit points against his driving record by driving safely and obeying the traffic laws

standards are far below those in our day schools all too prevalent is the idea that anyone can teach sunday school and alas they do he declares the average canadian sun day school offers only 800 min utes of christian education a year instead of receiving debate between scribes and dis coming see luke 2427 john 546 galatians 324 the topic of conversation on the mount was the decease greek exo dus

he came to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them and the scribes questioning the descent of christ to the valley was on the day after his trans figuration see luke 937 he joined the nine disciples the other three accompanied him on the mountain the argumen tative scribes religious leaders copyists lawyers who oppos ed him and the inquisitive milling crowd verse 15 am the people when they beheld him were greatly amazed and sal- uted him the words imply unusual astonishment and per haps the awe of expectation the amazement of the crowd may have been due 1 to the timeliness of the saviours ar rival or 2 to the lingering traces of glory on his counten ance after his transfiguration verse 16 he asked the scribes what question ye with them the question was not prompted by ignorance our lord knew that his vicious an tagonists had been mocking the disciples they were unable to drive out a demon even in their saviours name he was simply getting without delay at the root of the obvious confusion verse 17 one of the multi tude answered master i have brought unto thee my son which hath a dumb spirit the helpless father stepped up and answered the question the volitional life was responding to the saviours summons to faith help thou mine unbe lief ie to the extent that my faith is inadequate bolster for tify it verse 25 jesus rebuked the foul spirit thou dumb and deaf spirit i charge thee come out of him and enter no more into him two further facts are given concerning the demon he was unclean and made the boy deaf as well as dumb the i is emphatic in the greek the victor over the demon was at hand the com mand was positive imperious and final contrast matt 12 4345 verse 26 the spirit cried and rent him sore and came out of him and he was as one dead satans messengers obey the saviours voice the demons final frenzied effort was over whelming it seemed as though he had destroyed the body he could no longer inhabit verse 27 but jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up and he arose he did not simply elevate a limp body that would fall when the helping hand was removed he imparted new strength to the helpless emaciated frame verse 28 his disciples asked him privately why could not we cast him out christ and the twelve were now in a of transfiguration with the 3 house separated from the disciples but he knew enough crowd the disciples 1 had no

stressed by the author first the desperate plight of the victim read again mark 9 17 18 2022 the poor boy was under the domination of the devil he was deaf dumb and emaciated spasms of agony overcame him epileptic seiz ures clenched his jaws self- control had disappeared when convulsions gripped him he be came a wallowing foaming pit iable wretch moreover his con dition was chronic no one but the son of god could possibly deal with such a hopeless situa tion second the fathers tender concern doubtless he had al ready tried ineffective reme dies now he had heard of the lord jesus with loving eager ness born of desperation he brought his boy to the saviour he had not been on the mount scene from the transfigura tion the lord of glory the theme of old testament revela tion and the everlasting son of god moved triumphantly onto the stage the divine command was uttered and the demon with a final show of exaspera tion and power left the boys body which he had so long con trolled the christ of transfigu ration splendor is the christ of compassionate omnipotence fifth the supreme necessity of faith the heart of the sav iour was grieved at the faithless ness around him see mark 919 he elicited faith in the fathers heart why is faith so important faith in christs person work and power taps the resources of divine aid all things within the heavenly fa thers loving plan are within the reach of the outstretched arms of a vital faith registered for careless driving the magistrate may order sus pension for any period up to two years regardless of the point score of the
