' our lives as a personal presence, that we are going God's way with Him, and that He has chosen both our destiny and the way to it. _It is easy to say the same thing of Abraham for God obviously selected him as an’ epoch-male er, and directed his steps to that end. It is hard to say the same thing of Joseph. because there was so much that was mean and wicked in the treatment he had to endure. TESTIFIED Yet Joseph testified that God had led him in the way to the heights he attained. It is still har- der to say the same thing of Dav- id, because there was so much that was evil in the means used and the wrongs he did. Yet God ‘wrought wonders for Israel through David and his conquests and his rule, and at the critical turns in his career D-avid felt he was God-guided. - Everyone of us feels that there is so much that is unworthy in our lives that we cannot see how God can do anything in us or with us. Yet God has always been with His saints even when He had to overrule their mistakes and chastise them for their sins. If God had to wait for human perfection in His a g e n t 5, He would never do anything in this world. He takes us as we are; He works through us in His own way; ,_He, forgives - and how much He h-as toforgive! But if we are willing to go His Way, as Enoch was, He will make us what we ought to be. DEATH Then look what Enoch’s story makes of death. Before the dawn of history, Enoch’s death meant that God came for His friend and took him home.

W. Hynd- ‘man, Lieutenant Governor of the Province, Hon. J-. George Mac- Kay, acting Premier, Deputy of the Son of God, He said: "I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” The second passage mentioned was Genesis 29:20—“Jacob serv- ed seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.” Dr. Alexander Whyte says that the love of the loved described in Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, is but wine and water compared with Jacob’s love for Rachel.‘ If ever there was in the romances of the past a rough, tough speci- men of humanity, it was Jacob. He could be selfish, crafty,.and crooked, and yet, Jacob was cap- able of great faith and a great love. And love can redeem even the meanest. ' His love for Rachel, the bean- tiful, was the one bright spot in Jacob’s career. It lifted him a- bove the ordinary and gave color and comeliness to all else in his family life. Joseph their son, was so color- ful in his greatness that there is chievements. Love, even earthly love, is the queen of the,-g-races, and rules humanity still. ‘ Blessed is the man or wo'man into whose life a great love en- ters! ‘ . Yet -there is something awe-in- spiring about it —- so stupendous may be its consequences. The third passage was Ruth 1: 16.

A protest of loyalty and devo- tion unique in literature! WISE _ Evidently Ruth had found in wise old Naomi and her religion something that satisfied her heart and without which she could not live. Loyalty to a believer and her God brought Ruth to her destiny. A personality of rare loveliness she soon found her place in is new land.

Stocks At '58 High NEW YORK (AP)——The stock market nudged forward against heawvuy resistance last week to make another high for 1958. The market was in the midst. of a “supply area" represented by stock bought well below the year’s peak prices and now for sale. Steels and rail-s made progress on good news for both of these industnies. Colptpens, aincrafts and electronics also performed well. The steels continued higher as up from the depths for the fourth . straight week. Rails were encouraged by the Senate commerce committee’s approval of an e-igiht-point bill to aid the fii.-nancvial condition of the: carriers. . 1 The Associated Press average!’ of 60 stocks rose 50 cents to $170.10, putting the average at its highest level since last Sept. 19. The previous peak of $169.90 was reached May 9. A fi-nal-session advance came 315 a sunprrise in view of the three- day Memorial Day weekend and such portentous uncertainties as the political fate of France.

The new building is slated to be fin- ished by Easter in the spring of 1959. Firm Headed By Local Man I Buys Out Toronto Company The great West Saddlery Com- pany headed by Hugh Paton, 38, president, and D. Hubert Cox, vice-president, both of Toronto, has purchased control of the 80- yéar-old George H. Heels Com- pany Limited of Toronto, Can- ada’s largest manufacturer of window shades and venetian blinds. The Hees Company does business with about_8,000 whole- sale and retail outlets and dis- tributes its products through a coast to coast sales organization. Mr. Paton and Mr. Cox acquir- ed control of the Great West Sad- dlery Company in March. Orig- inally a harness and saddle manufacturing firm, it is now western C-anada’s oldest and one of its largest distributors oft wholesale merchandise. It offers a complete range of general store merchandise to some 9,000 accounts from British Columbia to Quebec. The amalgamation of the two sales forces will mean coast to coast coverage for both Com- pany's wide ranges or merchan- dise. Also present customers of Hees will have available several thousand items not previously carried. Similarly, the Great West Company will find strong representation in additional areas, particularly on both coasts. “It will result.” Mr. Paton said, “in the laingest mercantile organization of its kind in Can- ada.” Wonclers Why Conference Not Rec-onvened OTTAWA (CPl—Pau1 Martin suggested Wednesday that the the federal-provincial conference on tax sharing becau: it is em- barrassed by the financial de- mands of the provinces, espe- cially Ontario and Quebec. “Why has not the conference been called?” the former Liberal health‘ minister demanded in the Commons l)l’lI'-0118 speech debate. The debate near ‘ its end as the Progressive Con-servatives overwhelmingly defeated a Lib- eral non-confidence motion by a vote of 181 to 52. The motion slarid the government was trying to divert trade instead of expanding it. The day’s sitting also saw Rev- enue Minister Nowlan state that his department is‘ hiring 40 new customs appraisers and tighten- ing up regulations against dump- ing of imported goods, particu- larly textiles. AMENDMENTS FORECAST Labor Minister Starr said am-l, endments to the Uniemploymentl Insurance Act may be introduced late in the session. External Atffuarirs Minister Smith said no government consideration has been given to a 1955 Soviett proposal for a Canadian-Rustsian exchiange of parliamentary dele- gations. Mr. Martin, a Commons vet- enan of 23 years, gave the Lih-‘ erals one of their few opportun- ities this session for desk-thump ing applause as he lit into the government on the question of federal-[provincial relations. He said Prime Minister Diefen- ‘baker a year ago had promised to call a tiax-sharing conference last September. ‘ The conference had been heldl in November. It had lasted two‘ days and had come to no deci- 59.5 per cent of catpaicilty. Brir-V operated at 66.5 per. cent, down one-half point from the previous week.

Premier Frost of Ontario re- cently had said the conference, would reconvene before the flirstl of July but Mr. Diefenbaker later had said no decision had been reached on a date. Mr. Martin said the Frost gov- ernment is not sa-ti-sfied with an interim increase of $22,000,000 in its tax share. On the bialsils of On- tario’s proposed tax-shlaring sys- tem, Ottawa would have to al- low the provinces $1,000,000,000 instead of the current $600,000,000 a year. . "Is this why there‘ is n-o con- ference?” Mr. Martin asked. Premier Duplesms of Quebec had played a great part in the March 31 Conservative victory and wanted more money from the federal governmait. Works Minister Green inter- jected that Mr. .Martin was try- ing to make trouble. MARTIN AGREES Mr.’ Martin said Mr. Green was perfectly right, that it was the oppositions duty to ci'it~icize. Mr. Martin also said the gov- ernment has given no hint of any proposals to be made to the Com-; monwealth economic conference‘ at Montreal in September. MP5 had to find out aboutt‘-he conference by reading the state- ment of a British cabinet min- ister — “and the prime minister says this government is the guardian of the liberties of the people."

European Car Craze ls, Puzzle To Trade Circles OTTAWA (CP)—The European car craze that has suddenly swept ,over Canada has become a little puzzling to federal trade a.nt.h~ori- ties. Year after year, the market grows. Shipments keep on in- creasing. This year imports are expected to reach an all-time high with most of them coming from Britain and West Germany. Sweden is trying to get on the widening market with her new Volvo car. France is trying to make a. comeback with her Re- nault. Ita-ly hopes to sell more of her Fiats. Federal authorities believe the European car craze has devel- oped from something more than a matter of fuel economy and price. “If it is just a matter of get- ting more mileage per gallon of gas and paying a lower price why are Canadians at the same time buying an increasing number of Canadian cars in the more ex- pensive price hracket?” asked one official. MORE 2-CAR FAMILIES? “No, it seems to be something more than that. Perhaps its the growth in the number of two-cai families or the fact that we have had a lot of immigrants from Europe and they are more ac- customed to the European car." Still another reason, suggested one authority, "is that of snob appeal. Instead of trying to “keep up with the Joneses” in buying expensive Canadia-n models, a neighbor might try a lower-priced yEuropean car thatts “different.” This matter of “keeping up with the Jone es" was a subject of comment i a special study undertaken for the Gordon eco- nomic commission. . “It appears quite ,possible,‘' said this study, “that this desire for some measure of social dis- tinction may well rival any other single factor in determining new car ownership and it undoubtedly has an important‘ influence on car ownership per se, even where this is obtained through purchase of a used vehicle.” IMPORTS TELL STORY Whatever the reasons, the ex- pansion of the Canadian market for European cars has become evident in import figures. Canada in 1956 imported 20,000 passenger cars from Britain. Last year im- ports rose to 29,000 and this year, say officials, may climb perhaps to 40,000. This could mean more dollars for Britain to buy more Canadian goods. In 1956 Canada paid $23,- 000,000 for her British cars. Last year this figure went up to $31,- 000,000. ' Imports from West. Germany nose last year" to 24,319 from 16,- 516 in 1956. Values increased to $18,800,000 from $13,500,000. Calls Nfld-Loss Of Fish- Market In Jamaica Serious ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (C<P)—Fvl'sh-1 eries Minister Cheesman says the’ loss of the Jlaimaincau market for} Newfoundland salt codfish is se-5 Ifious and a problem that could’ wonsen. “llt is a senious matter," he Sfllld, “when we are finding it dif- ficult to secure profitable mark- ets for our fish production. “I hope those responsible for the marketing of our tlislh will tlind some way of putting the fish that we could not sell to Jamaica in other markets.” It is the first comment Mr. Oheesman has made on an ac-> cusation by Jamaican Trade Min- ister lsaacs that the Newfound- ‘and Association of Fish Export- ens Limited W315 “a dictatorrial cartel‘ that should be, “smIaslhed." The association is the sole marketing agency for New. foundland fish. CAN GET WORSE Newfoundland won a tender to‘ supply 4,800 tons of fish to J.)- maica up to July but Iceland was given a contralct for further frish supplies from July to December. Mr. Irsaacs sa-id IIceland’s bid was lower. Mr. Oheesman said “If our fishenmen continue as they have been doing in the past to produce mostly heavy salt bulk fish.‘ we will find it harder to market our catch and the situation will be- come worse.” Marketing was out of the pro-7 vincial government’s h.a~nd.s. “That is purelya matter between NAFEIL and the federal govern- ment, Mr. Oheeusman said. "However, we are very inter- ested in the welfare of our fisher- men and the retention of our markets."
