"it is now printed in L000 lan- guages and has revealed the truth down through the generat- ions."
The second point emphas' d by Dr. MacKinnon was "Christ- ian Living". He said it was good to have truth but it is better to live the truth. "Good example is the best kind of preaching," said Dr. MscKinnon. "as the musical instrument yields itself to the touch of the musician so it is that man gives his best when he yields himself in surrender to God's will."
FIDELITY
"Fidelity to the Church." was the the third point stressed by the Moderator for the maintain- ing of a strong church." Oin- work and attendance at church is

"What goes to make a strong most important and the example. cuniplaccncy

”The power must be equal to to God's word. "The Bible which the task. We must fall back upon has played no small part in mak-l God for our resources which are

"Free trade is what we want in the Marltlmes,” Premier A. W. Matheson told a crowd of LI- berals mat packed the conven- tion hall at Geo etown where Thomas J. Ki am, Souris West. was nominated yesterday afternoon to contest Kings Coun- ty for the Liberals at the next Federal election.
Premier Matheson suggested that Britain "threw a bond)- sliell" into Prime Minister Die- fenbaker's plans for Empire trade talks when she suggested free trade between the United Kingdom and Canada. "it is dd- lnitely what we need in the Marl- tlme Provinces. but Ontario will not let Mr. Diefeiisaker accept the offer." stated the Premier who noted that the convention was the biggest he had ever seen in Georgetown.
The nominating convention and the annual meeting of the district association was held in the Georgetown hall.
Mr. Kiclaham received in votes and won on the first bai- lot. Thomas R. Ciilcn. Midgell received 65 votes and J. Brenton St. John of Souris got 87 votes. The nomination was made un- animous on motion of Mr. Cul- lcn seconded by Mr. St. John.

Mr. Thorneycroft plans to hold a press conference today when he may enlarge on his free-trade proposal. Vi hi ch Mr. Flaning mil. nrescuis ”vcry formidable tiifficuliic.-" for the Canadian epvemnicnt.
The .An::.lo-Canadian talks. con- sidered in some quarters aspar- haps the most important of their kind in post-war years. developed out of Mr. Diefcnbakcr's sugges- tion last July that he would like to see Canada switch 15 per cent of her imports from the United States in Britain. This would in- crease imports from Britain by about S600.000.000 a year.
Mr. Thorneycroft. in disclosing Britain's free-trade proposal at Mont Tremblant, Que.. last Sat- urday, said it was possibly the main way of implementing Mr lliefcnbake-r's suggestion. But he said he realized this would pre- sent difficulties both for the Can- riian and U. K. governments and had a number of alternatives in mind.
SOME ALTERNATIVES
It was understood these alter- natives. brought up Wednesday. were:
i. flmturation of Common- wealth tariff preferences which had been whittled down since the introduction of the 35-country General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947.
2. An increase in purchases from the UK. by the Canadian government. various Crown agen- cies and the provinces.
J. Dispatch of a Canadian mis- slap in Britian to study and ex-
nrder to find ways of buying more U.l(. goods.
Some experts feel that Canada will be able in use her nept:la- uons with the U.K. as a barma- ing lever in her talks with the US. The flow of trade across the Canada-U.S. border is the heav- iest in the world. Americans have invested heavily in Canadian pro- ductlon.
it appears possible U.S. minia- lcrs may react more readily to Canadian problems if it ,, rs that Canada may otherwise move closer into the orbit of UK. trade.
