was sung, Mrs. James Ferguson pre-
siding at the organ.
For the subject of his address the
Pastor chose "Our Inheritance”
baiting his remarks on 1 Peter 1; 3-4,
Mar. •Stotesbury made reference to
the fact that ith the death of
Robert Seotehmer, this makes the
fourth loss in St, ,Andrew's Church
among those who have held import-
ant official positions within the last
three years each one of them a great
loss. In our community early in this
week we laid away another Citizen
Who had spent many year's in Bay-
field, who would be ,missed in the
community. We are .witnessing the
passing of a generation. God might
have placed ono generation on this
earth to live through the centuries
of time but God planned that history
would be made by successive gener-
ations, each making its ccontri'butiou
to human progress.
Mn. Stoteslbury spoke in high terms,
of, the Christian. life and ;labours of
the deceased, especially in the Cihurch
as an Elder and for many years the
treasurer of the Chureh. "He will be
missed very much in our church. To
his loved ones) we give •themour sin
-
xres't sympathy"

B OF. "'M PRODUCES
FINE ANNUAL
STATEMENT
Again, this year,,,following a prac-
tice it •orientated, the Bank of Mont-
real rims ,conve (forward with Er well-
illustrated, easily understandable
bank statement for the benefit of its
more than 1,500,000 despositors. IJn-
ique among bank statements, this
report, lhieh covers the 130th year
of the B of M's career, can be a :ea
with ,complete understanding b
er'eryosse. i
�Iqs the' explanation of "the facts
behind /the figures", the bank em-
phasizes that money deposited does
not lie` idle, but works constantly for
the building of the nation,,
`,Here is the mtney that makes the
wheels' of commerce turn,' the re-
port points out. "Here IS the money
that !helps the farmer' garner his
erops--:that helps the lumberman 'buy
equipment awl pay .his men. Here
are the dollars that enable the . hank
to make more than 500 personal loans
every ,business day of the year to men
and women who need money to meet
emergencies and take advantage of
opportunities."
me statement is also brightened
Tnsiderably by the addition of little
thumbnail sketches throughout, and
the use of simple, everyday. language
in place of the moreformal financial
terms usually found in bank reports.
For example, bank assets are referred
to as " what the B of M Has to
Meet its Obligations", while liabilities
are simply "What the IN of ,M Owes
M Others." Likewise, the explanatory
notes under each sub -heading are
clear and to the ,point,
Deposits at New High
Deposits 01 $1,783,000,000 again set
an all-time high, -showing an increase
of. $47,000,000 over the pervious year
and demonstrating the way in whieh
Canadians are endeavouring to mee
the danger of inflation. #
This statement of Canada's senior
financial institution reflects the gen-
eral trend of business activity
throughout' the Country. For example,
commercial loans increased ,by 39 per
cent, denoting the nations, expanding
peacetime- production. The financing
of .this expansion has beat accoupan-
red by a reduetion of holdings of
government and other public secur-
ities, which now stand at $957,000,000.
Heightened industrial activity
brought about by the increasing pro-
duction of peacetime goods found .the
bank participatng to .a much greater
extent in eammercial financing, with
holdings of industrial bonds and de.
bentures increased from $56,000,000
in 1946 to $96,000,000 for the year
ended October 31, 1947.
Enlargement of the .bank's facilities
through the construction of new
branches and the eenovation of tprem-
ses in various parts of Canada is
manifested in a substantial rise in
the value of its premises which, at
$13,000,000 has increased by nearly
three, million dollars.
A11'' of these factors add up to give
the bank record breaking resources of
$1,898,000,000, This figure exceeds its
obligations to the `public by $81,079,-
000.
