OTTAWA, Dec. 25 -- Canadian

trade with countrlcs of the British Empire had shown pro onnoed gains du ing the ye_r now draw- ing to a closé, Minister of Trade and Commerce R. B. Hanson sta.es. He attributed thts gain to a large extent to the Ottawa. trade agree- ments.

Just over two years ago, the en-

tire aspect of Ca.n;da's commerce changed, the Minister added. This was shortly ater the Imperial Eerzicmlc Confcrince held ln this city.

U1* .C4 PER CENT

"Today our expo;ts to the Britsh

“More than that our exports to

foreign countries have increased seven pe- cent over 1932 and our imports five per cent". He claimed this sho\v:d the treaties with t`lo British countries had not had the injurious ef`ect which opponents of the paets had prophesied on the trade with other nations.

During the 12 months ending

November 1934 domestic experts to Brltish Empire countries tztalled in value $334,785,050 compared with $2l'l203,000 in the 12 months evid- ing Novcn1b:r 1932. This is a grin ‘ci $l1'1,5”‘2 000 or 54 per cent. Th: Empire agreements became effect- ive on Nov. 15. 1032.

Exports to the U. S. increased

from $172,298.00() to- s2l0,086000, a

HEAVY INCREASE

Trade with the B itlsh Empire

countries has increased almost without interruption during the past two years, so mu~h so that in November 1934 Canadrfs exports to 30 Empire countries, amounting to ."35,560,(l00, were $6,000.00() more than the $29,560,000 exports to 78 forelffrl countries in the same

month. ,

The $30,073,000 exports in Nafem-

bcr to the United Kingdom were half a million more than to all for- eign count;ies and over 10 million

more than to the U. S.

November exports were more

es'-only distributed over the entire world th‘n usua‘. With the except- fcn of the United Klncdtm and the U. S., the exports went over the million dollar mark to only three countries: Jaton $2,392,020, Aus- trails, $1,465,000, France $1,279,000. The increase to Japan in 1031 over 1932 was $3,429,000, Australift $9,- 302000, and to Eritish Soufh Af lca $7,029,000.

“1 might add." said Mr. Hlnson,

"that our imports frrm the Empire are really greater than' would ap- psar. For example, Canada is a very large import'-r of raw rubber. It comes mainly from Brlt's‘i Ma- laya, but it is shipped fist to the U. S, wh-:nu our supply has been purchased almost entirely and brought to this country. The result is that the rubber is entered in our, trade reports as an import f‘om the U. S., although we lrlow it is for the most pert an Empire nm-l duet. There a e manv oth-"r Em- pire commodities slmilarly record- ed."

THE CHRIST

_---»

Thorn was a largely attended

Christmas service in Bt. James Church yesterday forenoon, im- mediately B-(ter the Imperial broadcast, Rev. Dr- Moorhead Le- gato officiating. The choir includ- ed in its numbers the girl and boy members who took Pc-rt in _carol singing. R-ev. Dr. Legate preached an able sermon on the true meaning of Christmas. Taking for his text: St. Matthew II, ll, "And when, they were come into the house, they saw the young child. with Mary His mother," he said: All :cms lead to Bethlehem today. .l‘he,heart.s of Christendom are reaching _out toward that little white-walled town set away amongst the Syrian hills where he Lord made His first appear- ing. Today the world's greet cities, with their wealth and power and fashion have to stand aside. and 'or the space of one short wlnt,er’s 'lay Bethlehem in the land of luda becomes the world's metrop- oils. How eagerly and freshly we return to Bethlchem year after year. All that happzncd there on the day of -the Nativity. never loses. its wonder for us, although we know the story so by heart. As the holy tale is told again the lifzht of. the lowly stable gives our lives a gold1'n glow for a space, and the echo of the angels' song lightens the march of life for weary feet. Thank God for Bethlehem.

One of the incidents of the

Nativity story that captivates us is `he visit of the Wise Men from the East to the cradle of the Saviour- Whether they were Kings. us some have said, or only stu- dents of the stars does not matter much. What does mat`er is that they longed t.o see the Christ- child, and that in order to ac- complish their desire they made n journey. And what a journey! It was a joumey which in their time would have been regarded both for lengih and risk, as we would re- gard the intrepid flight of some brave aviator from point to point half a world apart. When we read the words “there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem" we do so in the most matter-of-fact.

way, because in this wonderful age' in which we live, the whole globe can be glrdled in a matter of hours. Distance has now almost lost its meaning for us, and the dangers and discomforts oftravel have almost disappeared. From our vantage point in this age of miracles, the journey of the wise men seems only a small thing. But really it was a grecst journey, an adventure that won a high nl in the annals of its time

The vague reference to the home oi these wise men makes it im-| possible to say what their native country was. But we can guess with some approach to the truth: and competent authorities ilx the minimum length of their pilgrim- age as, at least, a thousand miles. and maybe far more than that. A thousand miles on the back of a lumbering camel, heaving and picking its way laboriously over the trackless wasfe of sand hum- mocks, with little water. and no shelter from the burning sun by day, nor from the desert dews ar night, and open all the time to attacks by the Bedouin brigands. in a country new to them and among a. people whose ways were strange to them-that is how these pilgrims must have travelled. And then these simple words of our tex`, "When they were come into the house, they saw the yolsng child with Mary His mother’-- that is the triumphant ending to a long and difficult and dzin§t"rol1s search for the Son of God, What a hls'ory may lie behind hn1f-a- dozcn commonplace words! A few miie: sentences may cover the ef- fort and pain of years. All the 'vluns thus? men had made, all the money they had sr\erl‘, all the dan- gers they had defied. all the wenriness they had endured. are hlddcn in this simole sentence. "And when they came into the house. they saw the young Child "nd *fssrv His mother."

And what a wealth of sllmfes-

tion tll‘s short sentence hos for you ard me. How come these mer: to find the Christ? They found ‘-lim because they sought Him. "Oli," you say. "how obvious: any schoolboy could tell you that." Jus* so. brethern: but I put the thing in that obvious way. because there is nothing which you and I forget' more rc-.rsdllv than just tllut--‘hat to be follnd, Jesus Christ. must be sought. If you want the blessing of Jesus Christ you must be at pains to put yourself in the way of that blessing. And to put your- self in the way of that blessing. to see in the face of Jesus Christ thg face of your Saviour. you may have to go quite far out ,of your ordinary way; you may have to make a herd jolxrncy. It may mean in you the giving up of your pride, your pmjssdice, your selfishness, and maybe lots o' other things. It may mean la. com- plete change of your opinions about yourself and God- It may mean the discrediting of certain qualities in yourself that you have been counting on. It may mean th-‘ very humbling of your soul to thc dust. The seeking and finding of Jesus Christ is not always, not of- ten, an easy undertaking. Indeed. ln many ways, it is comparable to that long 'Gnd difficult desert tourney that the Wise Men from ‘hc East made. We must get as/av from the mistake of thinking that the way to find Jesus Christ is bi' a close conformity to our conven- tional religious usages. These do help us in the search. and in thc finding. But to be formal is not enough, lf we are really set to find

Yesus Christ we must go s-ekinv and be rdventurous. Are not some

Scripture 1-sson ln church. or from some sentence hr ons of the

prayers, or in some line of a hymn. or in some utterance in a sermon? Well, it may, or it may not. Some- times it does. But there is no un- certainty about our obtaining the revelation of Jesus Christ if we do seeking Him. The best way, the surest way, the quickest way io find Him is to take the course which the Wise Men from ihe East took-to sei. the heart -on seeking Him till He is found, tu go to any trouble that may .ba necessary in order to find Him, to strain and strive and not let up until We find Him. Jesus C1il'is`£`..is not just some abstract ihnuTg'?\.t that comes and goes throuf,;li`i€hn mind.
