CHURCH CONGREGATIONS

A record attendance marked the ser-
vices in Abbotsford churches at Easter.

‘*Good Fridey meetings’’ were start-
ed in connection with Trinity church
one year ago, and last Week’s event
Was encouragingly attended.

Earnest and sincere services were
conducted in St. Matthew’s Anglican
church morning and evening on Good
Friday by Rev, Mr. Biddell, while the
Nazarenes congregated in the morning
at Mr. Bury’s home, Yale road, where
services were held.

Special choral music entered largely
into the Sunday services in St. Mat-
thew’s and Trinity churches, and the
Tespective ministers preached appro-
priate services. Sixteen new names
wero added to the Trinity Church mem-
bership roll at morning service, making
a total of 76 communicants, the largest
number on record. Leading parts in

were taken by Mrs. Bedlow, Mrs. Gray
and Mrs. Coutts, while Mr. H. Owen
gave a violin solo. Inspiring song ser-
vices and sermons by the pastor, Rey.

evening Eastertide observations by the
Nazarenes, while St. Ann’s Roman Ca-

gation from many surrounding parts of
the district and neighboring sections
of the United States. Mass was con-
ducted by Rev. Fr. Collins of Chilliwack
and carols sung by Messrs. VanMalderen

The marking is done by clipping off

These fins are not considered actually

HR,

E an address to

the Montreal
Canadian Club
recently, E. W.
Beatty, Chair-
man and Presi-
dent of the Can-
adian Pacific,
made an ‘mport-
ant contribution
to public under-
standing of the
Canadian rail-
way situation.
Mr. Beatty brief-
ly outlined rail-
way history.
When ambitious
railway projects set afoot after
the completion of the Canadian Paci-
fic had failed because far ahead of
national or commercial necessities
and were taken over by the Govern-
ment to prevent their physical dis-
solution and to save the credit of
Canada and Canadian institutions, the
action of the Government was vari-
ously viewed. Some opposed it fear-
ing the consequences of the excur-
sion of the government into busi-
ness; others upproved because they
regarded Government ownership as a
panacea for most of our transpor-
tation and economic ills.

Never Wanted C. N. R,

The successive steps towards goy-
ernment acquisition of these proper-
ties ‘was justified by some who fay-
ored it by thé bogey of the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company. When
the absorption of tke Canadian
Northern was proposed the people
were told that the Canadian Pacific
had actually matie a very / rable
bid for them. “The Canadian Paci-
fic,” said Mr. Beatty, “were not
anxious to acquire them and had
made no offer of any kind for them.
Parliament was later urged to sup-
port government acquisition of the
Grand Trunk partly on the ground
that otherwise those roads would be
‘gobbled up by the C, P. R.’

“There existed objections that ren-
dered that possibility almost ridicu-
lously remote. There existed by
stutute absolute prohibition against
any arrangement of amalgamation.
Duplication by the Grand Trunk of
then existing Canadian Pacific faci-
\itles rendered its acquisition unne-
eessary and unwise. The Grand
Trunk could not be divorced from
the Grand Trunk Pacific with its
enormous-liabilities, which, I ima-
gine, no corporation in Canada could
think of assuming even if able to do
HO. Lastly, the acquisition of the
Grand Trunk had never been suggest-
ed to the Canadian Pacific or by the
Canadian Pacific, and bad never been
considered or contemplated in any
way or by any means, direct or indi-
rect. ‘It was the old familiar bogey,
namely, that of securing an imagin-
ury secondary purchaser in crder to
make the purchase more attractive
to those who bad some Coubt as to

tionalized because I would regard
nationalization of these huge proper-
ties, without competition and poli-
tically influenced in their adminis-
tration, as would inevitably be the
case, to constitute the greatest po-
litical and commercial menace this
country could possibly experience,
As conditions are, there is no sounder
or safer principle than those laid
down in the letter and spirit of the
Railway Act which stipulates for rea-
sonable rates and prohibits unjust
discrimination and has regard to ser=
vice and its costs as a factor in de-
termining what a shipper should pay.

Spur of Competition Needed.
“A yéar ago a careful, unbiased
enquiry was conducted by the Senate —
to obtain the personal views af men
of acknowledged authority on finan
ce, transportation and business to
develop a discussion in respect of 4
possible solution of our transporta-
tion problems, Asked if I believed in
a railway monopoly for this country,
I answered that while no one should
attempt to forecast conditions for the
next few years with that certainty
which would justify a definite and
unchangeable view, I did not believe
ina ly. I said I ht &
merger would involve difficulties in
Tne administration which were scarcely
vain contemplated and which would in
less ‘gove S| time affect the character of the ser=
‘™n| vice given. I did not know how It

would be possible for an enterprise
with one hundred to one hundred and
fifty thousand employees to be mait-
tained in the highest state of efficien="
cy without the spur of competition.

“These two systems are strongly
competing and the people of Canada
are obtaining excellent transporta-
tion facilities at lower rates than are
charged in any other country in the
world. The officers of the two 8Y3-
tems get along in as complete har-
mony as you would expect or I would
want. We ‘both realize that our fu-
ture prosperity is inextricably linked
with that of the country, |

“We gain little by living in a world
of criticism of our past railway mia-
takes—serious though they haye
turned out to be. It would, I think,
be more profitable to devote our
minds to methods of improving our
national conditions. Our: problems
revolve around the necessity for more
people, Iower taxation and, definite
fiscal policies national in their pur-
pose and-their scope. If we wWil-
remedy these conditions we ¢an face
our railway problem with the cer
tainty of settling it when our pers-

ledge is more precise, and when we
