THE FIRST) REAL CANADIAN MONEY
History relates that CariSda, in 1817, "was too poor to
afford the luxury of a metallic circulating medium; and the ..
development of trade and agriculture was hanipered by
'/ the lack of facilities for exchange.” -
American money, also British and French and some Span*
-iShandPortuguese,wasused~allsubject-tO-fluctuating._..
,. rates of exchange arid causing monetary confusion. There
was no Canadian money, either coin or paper.
But in 1817, when tiw Bank- of Montreal was started, its
^irtyrnrs—-merchants- who knew, what Canadian business
' urgently needed—-immediately provided a papier currency
(the Bank’s own bills in small denominations) and laiter
copper coins. These Bank of Montreal issues were die
first real Canadian money. '
Through 117 yetrj since then, the Bank of Montreal’s
notes hay£ performed a useful function,'as Canadian busi
ness has grown, ftom small beginnings to its present ex
tensive proportions. These notes have: provided a sound,
dewndable and elastic currency, their volume, automati
callyexpanding and contracting with the changing demands
oftrtde. — --------------z,—
Notes of the Bank ricw ;m
$33,000,000, or about one-fourth of the entire com-

The Bank’s resources ($759,000,000) are likewise about
one-fourth of the total rcsources-of the Canadian commer
cial banka. These figures iridicate the extent to which the
Bank ofMontreal participates in Canadian business activity.

Dear Sentinel Friends; „ .
This morning X. went sto church in
Khibe. The nearest Presbyterian
Church' ’ to wherb we Jive is the
Shinko Church aof jCthrist in Japan.
“.Church of* Christ in Japan,’’ is the
name by which the Presbyterian
Church: is known an this country. .
riendly looking little printed
"Leaflets oh the talkie in the vestibule
nounced the order of service for
rning and evening. In, the church
iiditoriunl itself, a wide choice of
//s^rts, cushioned at that, gave unan-
^pus.. invitation. No matter how few,
md, the service is formally con-•1 -ducted from beginning , to end.
As a Westerner in th$t audience,
- onij didn’t feel strange. All the men,
at. least, wore European clothes. With
the women it was different. Only
seven wore, foreign clothes and those
ail were teen-age girls or young I
women accustomed to,’skirts and
middies from their school ,■> uniform
lays. There were twenty-seven wo-
jihen and thirty meh’present.
They were an able, intelligent-
looking "'group-of people. Not a child
was present, Children have their own
Bunday School at another hour.’
True to Japanese services we read

to keep
up the volume ana the time m their-
respective sides. The Lord’s prayer
was repeated rather rapidly to allow
for much thought about its meaning,
but everybody seemed to enjoy the,
rhythm of it; On the Whole the ser
vice waS enjoyable but for a little
dipappointment that it should all be
so much like home,-so Western, with
little -bf The’/Oriehb in-4V . ■■■There’
is ih the Japanese spirit something
.which,, one., feels,.. jc.ohld haye__. great
Jied.pe_fbr_dev.elopmenf-jn-Christianity-
but in this service there seemed 1 to
be a tendency toward, general con
formity to the formalism of the
church in the Western world.
* An elder'took charge of the service
Th^pastor took only two parts; the
sermon apd the benediction. This,
seems to be the custom in Japan and
is in keeping" with the Presbyterian
eldership', tradition.
The minister is a young man of
about thirty to- thirty-five.. He is tall
and scholarly in appearance. He wore
a morning suit with ordinary collar
and tie, the customary men’s ,dress-
up -style for all occasions in this
country. His sermon bore eloquent
marks of careful work with pen and*'
paper. He spoke for twenty-five
minutes. Six times during his dis
course he referred to scripture A pas
sages." Each reference passage was
quoted but the quoting was made an
oratorical occasion for reaching for
and opening his bible.. Usually he
had finshed the quotation before/find-
ing the/place, but the little gesture
had the effect of encouraging his
listeners to likewise turn the pages
of their own books. About half of
the sermon was expressed in rather .
technical philosophical or theological
language. The other half was made
up of homely, ba'ck-yard or undress
ed up language. In every thought ex
pressed, this young minister, seemed
to .have an attentive congregation.
“" "Collecti on-taking and anhounce-
ment making were carried through
as smoothly as they would be in a.
well-accustomed; congregationJanv^
where. Two men an j, two women dea
cons, received the offering on their
respective tfgfdes of the church. They
used green plush pockets attached to
handles with good -long reaches. This
little Japanese touch makes for an
..added ceremonial .effect. It also pre
vents intrusion into the sacred silence
of noisy contributors who clap their
pennies on tin or wooden plates.
The announcements were madeajso
/y an elder. The informality of his
little five-minute talk was refreshing.
Life laughed and moved on unsubdued
I saw that Old succumbed, by Young:
,’Twas Well.’ My too regre^ul mood
Died on - my tongue. “
