With the Editors at Halifax One of the interesting side trips! ■enjoyed by the editors during their I recent visit to Halifax was an excur­ sion around the beautiful and com­ modious harbour on 'a delightful af­ ternoon on board boat, during which afternoon lunch was served and dancing was enjoyed. The excursion was through the courtesy of the Halifax Harbour Commissioners, the Dartmouth Ferry Commission, the Halifax Board of Trade and the City of Halifax, and officials from the various bodies were present and as­ sisted in entertaining the guests. . From personal observation, the vis­ iting journalists gained, a very clear impression of the natural advantages that make Halifax Harbour one of the world’s greatest havens for ocean vessels. The harbour is ten .square ......................~ miles in area, with water so deep that 01. climatic conditions, __ the largest ships afloat find it always. the woria, of whatever size or depth, •easily accessible and navigable. Total, can freeiy anci safely enter or leave absence of ice the year round, and a; t,ne port of Halifax. Of no Other straight, wide and deep channel per- eastern Canadian port can this state- mit ocean vessels of any size to come, ment ])e mado and go in safety and without hind­ rance at any hour. | Sheltering hills on all sides re­ move all danger from storms -and render it possible for hundreds of ships at one time to ride serenely at anchor in Halifax Harbour, while waves other vessels at sea. Tidal variations which never exceed six feet obviate all navigating and berthing difficul­ ties, and visiting ships can, if they desire, dispense with the services of tugs that are indispensable in most other harbours of the world. Not a dollar lias ever been expend­ ed fc.r dredging and entrance chan­ nels oi* anchorage area of Halifax Harbour, and there is no apparent possibility that a dollar will ever he required for that purpose. The small streams that empty’ into the harbour carry no silt and the hurhour’s rock- ribbed shores suffer no erosion. Always Open To All Shipping Halifax is the only port on the At­ lantic 'seaboard of Canada always open to all shipping stage of tide, and under any 5, any that is At any weather ship in and it is this unique advantage of the port that makes Halifax of such outstanding national importance and value. It is the one and only Atlantic port capable of rendering constant, maximum ser­ vice to Canadian foreign commerce. The. location of such a harbour, and wind pound and buffet ten miles from the open sea, and only GO miles off the beaten track of transatlantic traffic between Eur­ ope and North America, places the port of Halifax in an exceptionally advantageous position in so far as accessibility to world shipping is con­ cerned, and when it is realized that the port is not only the nearest to all North American ports to Europe, Af­ rica, Asiatic Ports as far east las Hong Kong, and all Atlantic, ports of South America, it is easy to under­ stand the vital importance of Halifax as a factor in Canada’s foreign com­ merce. Historically, the port of Halifax has long been important. The ex­ cellence of its harbour was noted on de Champlain’s charts as early as 16.32, and in 1758, a few ye’ars after the founding of the city (2749), by Lord Cornwallis, a British armada of 157 vessels sailed out of the harbour to take part in the seige of Louis­ burg. Long before the Confedera­ tion of Canada was conceived, the commercial value 'and strategic situa­ tion of the harbour were fully recog­ nized by Imperial authorities, and. Halifax became an important British naval and military base, while the commercial development of the port also kept pace with British activities in North America. Omitting tedious historical details, it is sufficient here to say the devel­ opment of the port failed to progress with the growth of Canada as a Do­ minion, primarily because of the gen­ eral acceptance of ' the view that War Halts Development Scheme Just before the World War, the estimate of Halifax’s national impor­ tance had grown sufficiently io find expression in a definite government scheme of part development, and in 1912 the Borden government form­ ulated an extensive scheme of devel­ opment for the port of Halifax. An­ nouncement of the proposed develop­ ment was. made at Halifax, on Oc­ tober 13 Otli, 1912, by Hon. Frank Cochrane, then Minister of Railways 'and Canals in the Dominion Govern­ ment, and within a few months the project was under way. The development scheme then fur­ nished js practically’ the same that is being carried out today. Work on the Ocean Terminal piers and sheds as rushed throughout the year 1913, and e’arly in-1914 the 2007-foot quay the longest wharf for ocean liners in North America, was completed, but the World War abruptly halted the work, and the three transit sheds and Harbour Commissioners’ Ad­ ministration Building now covering tlw quay were not built l’or some years. Some of this particular work, in fact, has only’ been finished this past year. The Borden Government, however, succeeded in carrying out the devel­ opment sufficiently to provide port facilities to meet the situation creat­ ed by the War, and the World War emphasized, as perhaps nothing else could have done, tance ol’ the port Halifax to Canada For nearly six harbour and port quate as equipment then was, serv­ ed the needs of Canada 'and the Em­ pire as did 110 other port of any Do­ minion, continuously providing shel­ ter, safety and accommodation for thousands of ships of kindis. that carried millions of tons of freight and hundreds of thousands of human beings, including nearly all of Can­ ada’s soldiers who .served in the World War, to and fro across the sea. the vital impor- and harbour of and the Empire. years, .Halifax's facilities, inacle- GtJden Text Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.— (I. Cor. 9:25.) Temperance means self-control. It is worth while to study the meanings of self-control, and the secret of self­ control given in this passage in Ga­ latians. To do this we must discov­ er the meaning of self, and the mean­ ing of control of self, and the meth­ od. of in The Christian is a free man, as those who are not Christians can never* be. The Christian has accept­ ed Christ as his .Saviour' and Deliver­ er, and Christ said: “If the Son, therefore', shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36.) Paul declared that “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2). So this chapter begins with the exhortation: “Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.’ In the first verse of the lesson Paul reminds' these Christian hearers that they “have been called unto- liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the fleshy but by love serve one another.” A man might insist up­ on his freedom to such an extent that he would encroach upon the freedom of others, or even injure them by his liberty. No true Chris­ tian is willing to do this; rather, he rejoices that he is free to forego his liberty and “by love serve” others. Nov; Paul, shows that^the “flesh,” or the natural or "carnal” mind of man, struggles against and resists the Holy Spirit of God; it is "enmity against God” (Rom. 8:7), so "the flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.” He gives a long and revolting list of "the work's of the flesh,” which he says are manifest; and they certainly are, for they are seen on every side, the newspaper accounts of the day’s happenings are full of them.

A typical fishing harbour of Nova Scotia is shown in the upper picture. Lunenburg boats have always been foremost among the fishing fleets and in the foreground can be seen schooners in various stages of con- structioiv while anchored in the back­ ground are a number of the ships waiting to leave for* the banks, At the bottom is a scene reminiscent of the old world, but one not unusual in the Nova Scotia fishing towns, ox team bringing a catch from a schooner upon its as i Third Among Ports of Worjd Such a tremendous volume traffic .surged through the port, fact, that the London Times, in 1013, called Halifax the world’s third most important port. I The co-called handicap of geo­ graphy had vanished. It became clearly evident That Halifax was cap­ able of rendering a national service that no Giber port could render, and that what Halifax had done in war­ time she was capable of doing in peace-time. The wa’r-time demon­ stration of the port’s unique value simply compelled the conviction that the port of Halifax was a national asset whose development could not, logically, be neglected. This conviction spread and the de­ mand for port development grew, but it remained for Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, in 192 6, as the head of a commission that' investigated certain claims of the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to bring into sharp relief -the immediate necessity cf making a great nation's! port at Hal­ ifax. Increase in facilities has already reached a stage that makes Halifax, virtually, a new port. More than $4,000,000 is being spent this year (1930) in port improvements, and an expenditure of $15,000,000 or more, within the next five years is contemplated, in order to meet the demands that seem destined to ensue from the Canadian policy of influ­ encing the flow of export and import traffic through Canadian murders, drunkenness—these some of the things in the list, wonder Paul says "they which such things shall not inherit Kingdom of God.’’ These are works, or the natural expressions, of the unsaved man; they can manifest themselves also even in children of God, true Christians. Self, indeed, needs to be controlled if this is the way it works. How can self be controlled? Paul answers: "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the l’lc-sh.” That is, let the Holy Spirit have complete control of us. When He has full control what is the result? . It is a miraculous life. The Holy Spirit produces fruit in such a life that no mere human be­ ing can ever produce; 110 human will power can ever bring it to pass, no training or discipline or struggle or practice. For "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suf­ fering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (elf-control”) If we stop and look at each of these nine parts of the one l'ruit of the Spirit', wo find :that .each is. Impossible to mere human nature, each is a miracle that only God can bring to pass in a human life. ports. LinersSpecial Facilities for GVa-in-loading can be conveniently while general cargo is being loaded or discharged, and sheds 21 and 22 are equipped with travelling dockspout towers, for spec­ ial use in rounding out liner cargoes. Grain-loading facilities at the Pt. of Halifax have met the test of ex­ perience, and steamers with capaci­ ties up to 500.000 bushels have been loaded Within the past year, the rate of 25,000 bushels an hour. Exceptional Facilities for Travellers Arrangements for* the health, com­ fort and convenience of ocean travel­ lers passing through the Port of Hal­ ifax are rated as the finest on the North American Atlantic seaboard. In a new building, with the most, modern equipment, are the Immi­ gration and Customs quarters, thro’ which travellers pass with the mini­ mum of delay. Travellers have frequently com­ mented on the comfort and conven­ iences of existing facilities. The Canadian National Railways’ palatial hotel, the "Nova .Scotian,’’ and. the railway station combined therewith, are connected with the Terminal building- b.v a covered ramp, and tra­ vellers pass to and fro between ocean liners’ cabins and hotel rooms or railway sleeping and parlo: without going out of doors. carried •on car The only belief that mon h ,vo in common is that they can make money raising chickens.
