ONTARIO ARCHIVEs TORONTO ting h ( lat Montreal.â€"The phenomenal record of the Sun Life Assurance Company is an Inspiration to all Canadians. _ Its income of $102,000,000 is already equal to the total revenuse of the Government of Canada in the year 1910, and $38,000,000 is certainly an amazing sum to have earned as profit in one year. _ Not many corporations anywhere can report such figures, The President‘s intimate, practical comments at the annual meeting explaining how these huge profits were made were illuminating. Of even greater moment, however, were his statements regarding the danger that this great Canadian institution may pass from Canadian control. Some months ago, Mr. Macaulay referred to the activity of Wall Street in the buying of Sun Life stock, and cautioned policyholders and shareholders of the monace it involved to an institution which was founded and developed by Canadians and which has obtained its phenomenal growth under Canadian management. _ Subsequent events have justified these misgivings, and at the meeting the first public intimation was given that the Sun Lifeo directors are seeking legislation at the present session of Parliament which is intended to effectively forestall this danger.

And, of all the profits made in the participatâ€" ing branch, the policyholders get ninetyâ€"five per cent. _ "After providing _ for all these amounts, we have added $11,000,000 to our undivided surplus, raising that sum from $34,000,000 to $45,000,000. Scale of Profits Increased for Eighth Successive Year. "The announcementt, however, that will be received with the greatost enâ€" thusiasm is that for the eighth conâ€" secutive year we have increased the scale of profit payments to our policyâ€" holders. The basis of distribution for 1928 will call for nearly $900,000 more than would the basis of last year. Profits of Policyholders Unexcelled in the world. "We can already say that in profitâ€" ableness to our policyholders, we are not excelled by any life company in the world; but we are not satisfied and will not be satisfied until we can make an even stronger statement than that, Years ago, I told our field force that we hoped to be able to anâ€" nounce an increase in our profit scale for ten consecutive years.

Our huge undivided surplus and our great contingency funds are the best guarantee our policyholders can have as to their future dividends.

The Prestdent closed his remarks by his reference to the need of safeâ€" guarding the future of the Company, as above quoted. is now unrolling itselft before our eyes in all its greatness and strength. But what of toâ€"day‘s future? I have just been reading my own remarks of two years ago, and already the figures of which we were then so proud look small and outgrown. We have doubâ€" |led in size now every five and a half years since the Company began, but iour last doubling has taken only four years, and we are toâ€"day growing more rapidly than ever before in oftc history. I predict that the figures of two years hence will make even the figures of toâ€"day look small and outâ€" grown in their turn. Sun Life Sets Its Own Pace. "People sometimes say when speakâ€" ing of our progress:â€""Yes, life asâ€" surance is growing wonderfully‘ So it is; but the Sun Life is not content to grow only at the rate of life assurâ€" ance generally. Statistics now availâ€" able indicate that in 1927 the aggreâ€" gate new business of all the comâ€" panies operating in the United States exceeded the total for 1926 by only one per cent and in Canada by seven per cent. But the new business of the Sun Life of Canada shows an inâ€" crease of twentyâ€"three per cent. We set our own pace. Our prosperity and popularity, and the enthusiastic support of our six hundred thousand policyholders, make our growth both rapid and certain. The future still before us will, I am convinced, be more wonderful than anything we can now imagine. And it is indeed a hapâ€" py thought that all that growth in size and all that growth in prosperity mean increased service to humanlty.‘ and service at steadily lowering cost! to our policyholders." The position we have attained justiâ€" fies enthusiasm, but we must always look on the present as a mere vantage ground from which to plan for the future. What is that future to be? Year after year we have baen conâ€" fAdently predicting the glorious future yet to come, and that promised future continent to work for us to maintain our coâ€"operation by becoming stockâ€" holders in the outstanding basic corâ€" porations of the country, so that we share in all the profits that they make. The dividends which we receive on our stock holdings are already two millions more than were payable on the same stocks when we bought them. Our interest account, of course, includes also our dividend receipts, and our record is illuminating. In 1921 the average rate earned by us was 6.07 per cent; in 1923 it was 6.20 per cent; in 1924, 6.38 per cent; in 1925, 6.41 per cent; in 1926, 6.69 per cent; and in 1927, if we were to use the same basis of calculation as in previous years, the rate would be 6.81 per cent. We, however, do not wish to show such a high rate, and as we always make a charge of 5 per cent against our interest earnings for inâ€" vestment expenses, you will note that we are quoting only the net rate, 6.47 per cent, after deducting that investâ€" ment expense. The falling rate of interest has no terrors for us. "The quality of our securitiee may be judged by the fact that not one dollar of interest or dividend on any bond, preferred or common stock listed in our assets as in arrears for even one day. Busines Doubled in Four Years. that is, dedicated to the temple for Vs, 9â€"12. Another striking illusâ€" tration of the same blind rejection of God‘s undoubted will in favor of mereâ€" ly human customs follows. If there was anything that God commanded, it was that children should reverence their parents, as required in the fifth commandment. And if this commandâ€" ment meant anything at all, it meant that the children should be responâ€" sible for their parents‘ support when t}i’ie or infirmity came on. But the arisees were accustomed to exsemg from this responsibility any man w said that his property was "Corban," religious purposes. If a man, that is, pronounced the word "Corban" over any of his possessions, this cath was REVIUCSD IM AUCE D, «1100 UHOD NHOV lwll.’ made the market unclean was disâ€" honest business. So he said that selfâ€" ishness, graft, and lying were worse than the neglect of handâ€"washing, and that handâ€"washing would not avail in God‘s sight if the heart were black or impure. "You set aside God‘s comâ€" mandment," he said, "in order to keep your human tradition." _ _ Vs. 6, 8 Jesus‘ answer to the Phariâ€" sees is that this insistence on the traâ€" dition of the elders supplies a fine ilâ€" lustration of what Isaiah condemned when, speaking for God to Israel, he said: "This people (of Israel), honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Yet is their worship of me futile, since the doctrines which they teach are manâ€"made rules." Jesus condemns the tradition as a manâ€"made system, not the authentic expression of God‘s will. He knew that many who observed the ceremonâ€" ial washings were impure and disâ€" honest in heart, and that what really Vs. 3, 5. The evangelist Mark, who is writing for Roman Christians who do not know the customs of the Jews, explains here the nature of the Phariâ€" saic requirements. Insisting on "the tradition handed down from the eldâ€" ers," the Pharisees said that every pious Jew must pour water on his hands and lave them up to the wrist before sitting down to food. He must also wash and purify everything that comes from the market; and cups, crocks, pots, and other utensils used in the house must all be cexzemonially rinsed from time to time. Consequentâ€" ly, the Pharisees charge Jesus with reâ€" jecting the tradition oi the elders. So we find Jesus condemning the soâ€"called tradition, and calling men |back to a purer sense of God‘s moral 'demands, justice, righteousness, mercy and truth. In this he resembled, though he far surpassed, the prophets. ‘He possessed an inward knowledge of God‘s will, and he asked men not to follow a blind tradition, but to study for themselves what God required. They could only serve and love God if their hearts were right in his sight Vs. 1, 2. The Pharisees, joined by a number of scribes, complain that Jesus permits certain ungodly laxities among his disciples. He does not inâ€" sist on the scrupulous performance of the due washings or lustrations beâ€" fore and after meals. The object of this charge is to discredit Jesus‘ claim to be a teacher sent from God. If he were truly a man of God, he would not be chargeable with such scandalâ€" ous omissions of religious require-‘ ments. HUMAN TRADITION AS OPPOSED TO THE DIVINE WILL InTropuction â€"Again and again Jesus had to declare that what the Pharisees and other religious Jews considered to be the undoubted will of God was not God‘s will at all, but only a human ordinance or established cusâ€" tom. The Pharisees in their study of the Bible had built up an elaborate system of rules and regulations which was known as "the tradition of the elders," The object of it was to bring the whole life of man, even in its petâ€" tiest details, under the control of reâ€" ligious Krinciple. But they misconâ€" strued the meaning of religion. Thus in the matter of purity they laid all the stress upon ceremonial washings before and after meals, and whoever did not conform to these was conâ€" demned as an irreligious person. Thus, the Pharisees wished to separate Isâ€" rael from all other peoples, to build a high "fence of the Law" round the whole of Jewish life. But Jesus saw that in this zeal for outward or leâ€" vitical purity they were emphasizing the wrong thing. They were forget: ting that what God requiroes above everything else in a pure, sincere heart. March 18. Lesson XI11;â€"Jesus Teaches Sincerity,â€"Mark 7: 113.

As a little sideline, we accept a lmited number of trained farmers for prepared farms and asâ€" sist them to get staried. Comparaâ€" tively speaking, Canada renders little of this assistance.
