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

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

"Oli," you say. "how obvious: any

in that obvious way. because there
is nothing which you and I forget'

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

ation of Jesus Christ will lean out

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
