(c. r. By Guardian's special Wire) UITAWA, Feb. 16--Proicsts from Liberal membe today led Marine MinlsterlAlfred Duranleau to ed- joum debate in the House of Corn- mons in his proposal to collect tolls in Canadian ports for upkeep 0i lighthouses lu the Bahamas and leeward Islands.

Liberals claimed the proposal would mean discrimination against cansdion ports and shipping. Can- Ida asked no assistance in maln- talning its lighthouses, even those in Newfoundland and CallBdlflD-‘i should not be taxed to maintain .- mother country's, the Liberals held.

C. G. Power (Lib. Quebec South). said if the resolution carried it would cost the EmPfe-“Pi Brltel“ $840 every time the boat entered the Port oi Quebec providing it made one trip to Nassau. The Quebec member could not see why Ameri- can boats should not be taxed as well as- Canadian and that was im- possible.

"m. Ports"

Mr. Power reminded the govern-

ment of its p01i¢y of ‘Jfree Pom"- clalming the tax proposal would nullify it. It would be just as 10B- icai if the United States Govern- ment asked Canada to impose an income tax to be spent on Ameri- can highways and bridges. - Canada, continued Mr. Duff. made no charge for its own lights, even those it maintained in Newfound- land and other outside countries. He contended the Bahamas, the treasury of which was “full to over- flowing," and its people prosperous. should pay for its own lights.

The Marine Minister was asked by several Liberal membe s to ad- journ discussion. Prime Minister R. B. Bennett agreed, saying it would give time to those who oppos- ecl collection of the duties to find out the details of the proposals.

Mr. Dui! jumped to his feet. said he resented the inslnuation he did not know what he was talking about. "And I might add there is no man in this House more ignorant on shipping than the Prime Minister and on a few other subjects as well."

The debate was adjourned 0n Mr. Duranleaws motion. .

nsenis for the British Governmeqg, The Marine Minister told E. J. Garland (U.F'.A., Bow River) the United Kingdom Government askel Canada and the other dominlons to collect the dues. Australia. India. Irish Free State and New Zesland Steady had complied with the re- uer, This was ‘a new departure, said lion. P. J. A. Cardin, former Min- ister of Marine, and he believed it mliiht open the door to adoption of United Kingdom's policy of collect- lilsllshthouse dues.

Members Of The Underwriters’

Ass ’n. Addressed

In his alter-dinner address at.

.he dnlner-meeting of the Lif< Underwriters Friday at the Can rdian National Hotel. Mr- Geo. H I-iunt, Toronto, superintendent of lgencies of the Imperial Life As- sociation, paid tribute to the news- papers of Canada for the success of “Financial Independence Week" last yeor.

Almost every newspaper, he said, carried wrlteups and editorials free of charge in addition to paid ad- vertising. This in addition to win- dew-displays, posters ‘and street car advertising, which the man- agement of the latter companies permitted without charge, were al- so quite a factor in making the week such s marked success.

The dinner. which was presided over by Mr. Wm. M. Flynn, Pres- ident of the association, was in honor of Mr. Hunt and Mr. Paul Dubar, assistant superintendent of agencies of the same company. Mr. _H. R. Stewart, provincial secretary and superintendent of insurance was also a guest.

After partaking of an excellent dinner Mr. Flynn extended hearty greetings to the guests and thanks to the members of the association for their splendid attendance. He also expressed regret at the ab- sence of Mr. J. 0. Hyndman, who was confined to his home with the prevalent cold.

Mr. George H. Hunt. on being called on. said he was prouder to- day than ever since his association with the insurance business-thirty years next month—nnd lie was also proud when he looked back and" saw how life insurance had "stood up” during the past few years, the only business that has stood up 100 per cent-a. wonderful statement to make regarding Canadian com- ponies.

During the past few years thous- ands of men had been saved through their life insurance pol- icies and due to this fact the oom- pa-nies could now expect an aval- anche of business.

l-‘tei-rrlng to Independence Week, he said the object of such was not a drive for business but "to put over the message of the stability of life insurance.” They appealed to all life assurance association of Canada and the local committees. He complimented all the associ- ations of Canada and particularly the P. E. I. association on the good work they had done.

Reference was made to the breakfast meetings held in Mont- real each morning during the cam- paign and which were largely at- tended.

Addresses were sent over the radio in a. country-wide hook-up and it was here that Mr. Hunt re- ferred to the enormous assistance given by the newspapers as noted in the opening paragraph.

Speaking of the numbers of win- dow displays in Connection with the work last year, he understood several splendid displays were seen in this city, which showed the \- terest, taken ln the work. Many in- surance men were “stir-red up" by Financial Independence Week last year. so that now they are good producers.

They had been asked by their friends across the border to assist so that Americans and Canadians could co-operate and with this end in view it was decided to hold Fin- ancial Independence Week from May 18th to 23rd and he was cer- tain they would meet with the same success as that of last year.

Mr. Paul Dubar in his opening remarks said it was his first visit here since that of four years ago. He was in Chicago last year during the Financial Independence week and it was encouraging to hear the remarks of those who were putting the scheme over.

The provincial secretary had suggested to him that someone should write a book showing what Canadians would have done during the lust few years without life in- suranoe companies. He said that $8,000,000 had been spent in the last few years in newspaper ad- vertising. ' '

Referring to opportunities, and where they lie, he said conditions were improvlng- Bonds offered for sale had been over-subscribed. and theta were .other favorable signs.

Brief mention was made of the increase in sales ~of radios and autos, and submitted figures oom- parlng the sales of radios in first six months‘ of 1933 and i934, point- ing out that “their competition was not with the life companies but with the radio dealers.”

He told his listeners that the largest amounts paid out by life companies were to living policy- holders, proving that life insurance was a profitable investment In conclusion he wished the members "all the best luck in the world."

Mr. R. H. Stewart in s brief ad- dress expresscd his pleasure at be- ing present and extended a hearty

welcome to the "exccutivescf the prominent company. He was very favorably impressed by ti: large attendance. As superintendent of insurance he at all times endeav- ored to facilitate and assist in the work, asserting that 100 per cent of his advisory committee were present.

A vote of thanks to the three speakers was moved by Mr. C. M. Williams and seconded by Major J. A. McKenzie.

In conveying the vote of thanks Mr. Flynn suggested that greater enthusiasm could be created by extending invitations to officers of Canadian companies to visit the city during the summer months and ilellvefaddresses.

Rev. Dr. Moorhead Le- gate Says One of the Reasons For Inef-

fective Christianity -

Is Failure To Con centrate.

Preaching before s large congre-

gation in St. James Church yes-l

terday morning, Rev. Dr‘. R. Moor- haod Legato discussed question and answers in tters of religion.

. Taking for his text St. John XXI. ‘ 2Z-"What; is that to thee? Ilbllow

thou Me," Dr. Iegate said:

Quito a considerable amount of been answering questions. One of the thlngs that strike you as you read the Gospel record is the endless flow of questions ad- dressed to Him. These questions varied greatly in their character. Some of them were nothing more than malicious attempts to en- tangle Him 1n His talk. Someof them were merely mischievous and mocking. Some of them were just the outcome of idle speculation, And others of them were, of course. entirely sincere. But for every question He had an answer. And every reply He made to a question showed a marvellous discrimin- stion and s. thorough krwwledse of human nature. Where a ques- tion was evil-minded, He could turn it at once into a weapon of discomfiture against His adversary. Sometimes He answered a purely mischievous question by throwing at His questioner another that silenced him completely. But when any honest enqulrer came to Him to ask a. question out of a sincere desire to know, He would always give a patient and satisfying and clear answer. As an instance of this, you remember how cine of the best loved of His parables, the Good Samaritan, formed His ans- wer to a question put to Him by the man who asked Him, who is my neighbour? Some of our Lord's richest and most precious utter- ances e- ‘ ‘ ‘ in answers to questions. You could almost ouild up a. treatise on theology by col- lecting the replies which Jesus Christ gave to the questions that were asked of Him.

For Today

Now. on this page of Scripture which lies open before us, we have our Lord replying in such a way ito a, question that was put to Him. that the answer overleaps the in- tervening centuries and fits itself into your circumstances and mine. The incident is very striking. It took place on tire occasion of one of the appearances which Our Lord made to His disciples after that He had risen from the dead. Jesus has been sounding Peter. in a. series of searching questions, as to his love and faith toward Him- self; and then, in solemn tones, He announces that one day Peter is to die a violent death in martyr- dom. And then Peter's eye lights on John, his friend. who is stand- ing by, and pointing to John, he tums to Jesus and asks. “Lord as Thou hast told me what the man- ner of my death is to be, what of this man. John, here? How will he die?" But Jesus declines to answer Peter's questions. Not only so: He rebukes him for asking it." Indeed He really snubs him for his irreverent curiosity. Quick as a flash ring out the Master's words, "What is that to thee? Follow thou Me." Which was just the same as saying: "It is none of your busi- ness, Pcter, as to what is going to happen to John. That is my busi- ness and John's business, not yours. Your immediate concern is not with John, but with yourself." 'It is impossible, of course, for us to be certain as to what the mo- tive was that prompted Peter to ask that question-whether it was simply curiosity, or whether it was a feeling of rising jealousy, as though the Lord had reserved for John a happier destiny and a more peaceful death than He had for Peter himself; or whether Peter was just moved by a personal in- terest in John, who was his close friend. We do not know But Jesus knew; and He also knew the best way in which to frame His answer. And the point». of the whole passage to you and me is this-the answer that Christ gave, “What is that to hee? Ilbllow thou Me," was not confined to that special occasion or to those particular circum- stances.

A Principle

This reply of Jesus expresses a principle for all time; for ‘you and me today. There are some ques- tions that you imd I have no busi- ness to ask; there are some things it is better for you and me not to know; but thero- is-always one thing that we can never be too in- terested and curious about and thatis ourselves. There is one thing that must ever be our per- sonal and pressing concern, one thing that _we must never tire of considering, one thing which we must on no account allow any other question to overshadow or displace; and that is, what am I, what is my own life and character in the sight of God?

There are many people in our churches very like Peter when he asked his question. People who are losing altogether the religious per- spective and missing the main point of religion as Jesus Christ pointed it out to Peter. Where and what is heaven? Shall we recog- nize ono another in the after life? Can we believe in eternal punish- ment? Why do good people suffer pain and loss as they do? Do those who die in sin get another chance? A multitude of such questions are

being asked by Noble who im-
