Disregarded Appeals to Secede

The people of the Maritime Pro- vinces had. however, remained true to the traditions of their forefath- ers and had disregarded appeals to secede from confederation. There was now apparent, he continued, a. renewed hope, a renewed confid- ence. a renewed ambition and. a re- newed faith. "l only hope, Mr. Bennett stated, “that as a result those who have gone from us, and there are many, will see the re- newed confidence and hope and return to our shores."

The heart of every man or woman born in the Maritime Provinces, he proceeded, could not helpbut beat a little faster when he returned to his old home. "That is the reason," Mr. Bennett contlnud, in referring to the interest of central and west- ern Canada in the Maritime Prov- inces, "that in Toronto there was recently organized a Maritime as- sociation of several hundred memb- ers, another in Montreal and in Calgary and Vancouver, we have Maritime associations. At theac gatherings we mect together free from political and religious differ- ences and clasp one anothers hand

"I sometimes think our people have not a proper conception of the greatness of Canada." he declared. “Let us maintain the faith which these great pioneers had in us.

United States Tariff Commission Arrives

The six members of the United States Tariff Commission arrived in the city Monday cvoninfl- They B191 Messrs W. CI Funck, John E. Ellis. M. F. Thurston. B. if. Pubols, Dri- worth Walker and F. L. Morrison.

‘Their purpose in coming to the island is to ascertain the cost of growing, handling. and transport- ing potatoes. or. in other words. the complete cost of placing them in the principal markets of the United States. \

This investigation is made in or- der to determine whether any tariff adjustment is feasible.

At the present time in the United

States no change can be made in tariff unless cost of production and marketing are first studied. A com- plaint has been made by United States potato growers that they are on an unfair competit‘ u basis with Canadian growers. This commis- sion has. therefore, been sent t0 study conditions of potato growing in the United States and Canada in order to adiust the tariff so that growers in both countries will be upon an equal competitive basis in the United States. Their findings and recomm ‘ ‘ions will be sub- mitted to the President of the Uh- ited States for legislation. The commission intend to stay here for about one week. and dur- ing that time they will interview between 50 to 100 firms and numer- ous farmers.

Mr. Funclt. in chaff!’ °f the PHI‘- ty, stated that they were very much pleased with what they had Mn of the Island and that so far they had "wives generous co-operation 'in their work.

Rising stiiliy as though from the pages of an O Henry yarn, the Prince (Police refused to reveal his name) shambled into headquarters early yesterday, looking for a “fiop“ and battling to keep up his morale, to keep inside the law despite the dogged pursuit of hard luck. There was no one to hear his hoarse, whispered request for a place to sleep. Police were busy, the station safe was locked, the combination lost. and within an hour the records in the iron box must be in court or there would be a serious delay.

Presently some one became aware of an angular figure. an indeter- minate face, and two eyes that watched the safe and worried police officers. Then a drawling voice said. "I used to be the Prince of my pro- fcssion and my profession was op- cning the boxes."

Noted AH.» Deliv- ers Splendid Inspir- ational Address.

Dr. T. W. Boneham, of Mei- bourne, Australia, gave a most in- teresting lecture last night to an appreciative audience in Hearts Memorial hail.

In it he dealt rvith the Eternal Realities, stressing the need of hav- ing a greater vision of Christianity, and the Bible. In particular, he said. the Ministers of the Gospel had need of such a vision in order to guide tire people right in the light of Truth. “Where there is no vision the people perish" is as true today of this age and generation as it was in the age when it was writ- ten.

He pointed out that in each age and country men had arisen when materialism and the powers of this world had grown strong-men who had a new vision of God, and who rekindled once more the perishing torch of the faith of men. The speaker illustrated -this by instances drawn from history, framing, in particular, such men as Wycliffe, Cromwell and John Wesley. From the works and lives of these men arose n great vision of discovery and adventure. giving the common man a. new courage and life to go for- ward in the strength of the Spirit.

Rev. R. W. Lindsay presided at the meeting.

At the close of Dr. Bonehams lecture, a hearty vote of thanks was moved by, Riev. Dr. Sidcy and sco- onded by Rev. H. D. Raymond.

Dr. Boneham is a noted author, his essays and devotional books be- ing well kuown and loved by mil- lions of readers. He is a thorough scholar in his chosen field. and his works are highly esteemed by Thc- ologlans the world over.

Dr. Boneham delivered his lecture here under the auspices of the Prince Edward Island Ministerial Association. 1
