reasonable and satisfying and help- ful when we know who and what Jesus Christ was. Until we know and believe in Jesus Christ, our belief in. God must be hazy and incomplete. I If we could just all be seized with the importance of this thought. how much it would do for us! Be; come acquainted with Jesus Christ and you have been introduced to the knowledge of God.

If there is one thing that you and I want to be mire of about God it is this; that, knowinS what we ourselves me, God can be mer- ciful and loving toward us. ‘that is the very deepest desire of the human heart. And, we might say, that if we can have it assured to us that God is really merciful and lov- ing towards us, we have learnt all about God that -we really need in know. But how are we to know that? The answer is the Croes- Jasus Christ on the Cross is the ce we can have of God's love and mercy toward us. That evidence is so complete that we cannot ask for more.

War Dead Remem- bered At Inspiring Open Air Service Yesterday.

An inspiring memorial service in honor of those who paid the supreme sacrifice in the Great War was held yesterday afternoon at the People's Cemetery, Mount Stewart. The service, which was very largely attended, was presided over by Mr. George Clark, who at thevouteet expressed regret at the unavoid- able absence of Premier Stewart and‘Mr. Justice Hazard.

Devotional services were led by Rev. A. M. Charman, of the United Church, Mount Stewart. Appropri- ate music was supplied by the joint choirs'of the United ‘and Presby- terian churches.

Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Mini- ster of Agriculture, who spoke in place of Premier Stewart, reviewed the heroic achievements of the Canadian soldiers in the war and the legacy they had left in their fine example of self-sacrifice.

Dr. A. B. Martin, representing the Canadian legion, outlined the aims and objects of the Legion, which is representative of returned men of all parts of the Dominion.

Rev. Dr. M. E. Genge dealt el- oquently with the meaning of the memorial service. I-ie described the havoc wrought by world economic conditions as belrig greater spir- itually than the destruction of the War, and as entailing equally great

sacrifices. The objects of the forthcoming Imperial Economic Conference, upon which the thoughts of Empire statesmen are now centered, were‘ also discussed by the, speaker, whose belief in brighter world prospects remained unshsken by the events of the past few years.

Rev. A. M. ChS-Ilflflfl made an inspiring appeal for the larger brotherhood of man which those who paid the supreme sacrifice in the war had had at heart.

The war monument at the cem- etery was beautifully decorated for the occasion.

The service closed fittingly with the singing of a hymn followed by the National Anthem.

A mirror was set in the floor right underneath where the picture l8. and into that mirror the visitor looks seeing the reflection of all the picture's beauty. Just in the 88MB way, you and I cannot see and un- derstand the depths and helm‘ of God's wondrous nature. He is too far away in the celestial heights for us to behold. He has sent Jesus Christ to be the mirror in which the Divine glory and love are rcflected. Inokin! into the heart of Jesus Christ we see and understand the heart of God. "Be pleased, 0 Lord, to sanctify unto our souls the worsltp which we and all Thy people have rendered unto Thee this day. Lead us through Thy word unto ‘Thyself. Lighten our darkness, we beseech Thee, O Lord: and by ‘Iihy great mercy de- fend us from all perils and dangers of this night: for the love of Thine only Son; our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prime Minister's Statement

"Have just returned and have read with interest report of Mr. King's speech Thursday evening at Sussex. In effect, he asked the cl. actors of Royal to vote asainst the government so that he may be in a P0613101! to lay that the country is Owoeed to our presiding at the Imiwrial Economic Conference, which, from the standing of the delegates and the interest taken in the Proceedings in every part of the V0146. i8 lishtly regarded as the most important gathering of its kind ever held in the British Em- pire.

“Ihroiliih the efforts of the Gov- ernment. the conference will meet in Ottawa. I trust that you will stress the responsibility which the issue Mr. King has raised pluces upon‘ the electors of Royal, unc ask them whether or not they are pre- pared to weaken the influence of Canada at. the conference by voting want of confidence in the govern- ment which has made possible the gatherink. Which offers Canada the greatest opportunity we have ever had for securing some form of trade stability within the Empire and stimulating world movement toward normal conditions. Please tell my New Brunswick friends that I rely on them for a decisive vic- tory on Monday next and the tri- umphant return of George Jones to his place in the" House of Com- mons." '

. i U. S. Attitude

Discussing the Canada-United States trade situation, us. Manion said, “In spite of the fact that we have been the United States best customer, the United States has barred the goods we export. This is not criticism. The attitude tak- en by the country to the south of us is a business-like one. We should do likewise, on a business-like has- lis. Nearly all the United States" tariff increases took place during the regime of the Mackenz‘ King Government. Mr. King said in the House of Commons that ‘we must do nothing to provoke the United States.’ That may be his attitude but it is not ours. We put up tar- iff barriers. We didn't care if we provoked them, and they respected us for our business-like action. The recent honorary degrees conferred on Mr. Bennett would seem to be a good indication that the United States is not provoked at us," he commented.

"As regards our tariff policy, we felt we could produce in this coun- try many commodities which were being imported, and so we raised the tariff. I venture to say that some industries now in operation in Canada. would not be going to- day if we had not taken this step.’

Regarding the railway situation, Dr. Manion charged that the “Lib- eral government used the Canadian National Railways as a huge polit- icai machine." Huge expenditures were "forced on the C. N. R. man- agement by Mr. King. I-Ie en- couraged them, deliberately, to spend hugely, and he not only en- dangered the iife of the railway system, but the life of Canada as well.

- Liberal Claims Answered

“And now the Liberals utter ex- travagant claims about what they did with the National debt. They claim that while they were in pow- er they reduced the direct debt by $160,000,000. But, at the same time, they increased the indirect debt by $489,000,000." The Conser- vative Govemment had "saved the O. N. R. for itself and for us." And now the report of the Royal Com- mission on Transportation was awaited "with, we hope, a good solution of the problems." Premier Bennett had fulfilled a larger proportion of his promises than any other Prime Minister of the Dominion, said Mr. Manion. Confidence in his government was indicated by the fact that of three bye-elections held since the ad- ministration came into power, two were won by the Conservative party and one by Labor.

Hon. Dr. MaeLaren

"The importance of the confer- ence is tremendous and its possibil- ity of good results is excellent," Dr. MacLaren said with reference to the forthcoming meeting at Ot- tawa. Whatever is the outcome, probably ‘king of its equal has ever happened in our life time. Be- presentatives of the British Domin- ions will get together to see wi-lat can be done to increase inter-Em- pire trade. The future of the Bri- tish Empire and that, to some ax- tent, of the whole world, rests on it.”

Ionization ‘of a' farm products marketing board by the Dominion Government was praised by Dr. Isobar-an. It would mean a study of all Provinces to find the amount
