VI. The harvest fields (31-42). The
disciples tried to induos Jesus to eat, but
he said, 'My meat is to do the will of
him that sent me." He then called at-
tention to the great spiritual harvest
that was ready to be gathered. It was
not long before many of the Samaritans

secrets of his success are,

wearied With his journey sat thus On the
well (v. 6). The original is pathetic,
"The wayfarer was quito tired out, and
in his exhaustion flung his limbs wearily
on the seat for complete repose." But
immediately his rest was broken. When
wearied, still watch to do good. "I ara
never too tired to pray," said a minis-
ter, who, ;Mar a hard day's toil, found
his host ready to excuse him front con-

II. He overcame difficulties. No ob-
stacle ever daunted the Christ. This
person he sought to save was:
1. A woman (vs I). When his dis-
ciples returned they "marvelled that he
talked with the woman" (v, 27); for the
rabbis taught, "Let no man talk with a
woman in the street; no, not even his
wife"; and "Let the words of the law
be burned rather' than given to a wo-
man."

might as well expect to breathe all of
God's air, or use all his sunlight, as to

water that he would give would be a
"well of water" in the soul, "springing

In view of tbe financial stringency which prevailed throughout the
world in 1907, and the unsettled inonetary conditions existing in the
United States, it has been nedessary to exercise unusual caution and prudence
in administrating the affairs of the Bank Our policy has 7 een to restrict ad-
vances without interfering with the proper requirements of the customers of
the Bank and to assist in marketing the products of the country -more .es-
pecially the crops of the North Westeendistricts-at the same time maintaining
strong Cash Reserves.
Having reference to our announcement at the Annual Meeting that•
one million dollars of new Capital Stook. would be offered to the Shareholders
in 1907, We bave to inform you that on December 31st $983,700 of this amount
was subscribed for, and $848,597,50 paid up,
During the past year it was eonsidered advisable to establish Branches
of the Bank at the following. points: In•the Province of ,Ontario, at Berlin,
Hamilton, Ottawa, and at the corner of Queen and Victoria streets, Toronto;
in the Province of Quebec, • at the corner of Bleury and St. Catherine streets,
Montreal; in the Province of -Alberta at Wrathcona; and at Vancouver, British
Columbia.
The opening of our Vancouver Office not only marks our entrence into
British Columbia, but completee e chain of Branches; at all important centres
from Montreal to the Pacific- Cast, including the Ca,pitale of the Western Pro-
vinces. Results so -far indicate that these extensions will be of great benefit •to
the Institution.
We have to record with regret the death tn. January last of Mn. Timothy.
Eaton, whose varied business knowledge and sound judgment Made him a valued
member of your Directorate. Mr. john C. Eaton, hie son, was appointed le
fill the vacancy on the Board.
The Directors, as is customary, have verifie& the Head Office Balance Sheet,
as on the 31st of December, 1907, includipg therein the auditing of our foreign
balances and the certification of all Cash Reserves, Securities and Investments.
The usual careful inspection of the various Branches of the Bank has
been made during the past twelve months. E. B. OSLER,
President.
•
, The Report was adopted.
The thanks of the Shareholdere were tendered to the President, Vice-Pi-esi-_
dent and Directors for their services clueing the year, and to the General Mana-
ger and other Officers of the Bank for the efficient performance of their respee-
tive duties.
The following gentlemen were elected Directors for the ensuing year:

TIMES DEAL HALTED.
Approval of Parliament May Have
to Be Sought. -
New York, Feb. 2. -The World has re-
ceived the following cable despatch from
London: Serious legal difficulties have
arisen over the proposed transfer of the
London Times to a limited company
dominated by C. Arthur Peareon. Sev-
eral exieting shares of stock iii the news-
paper property are held in trust and
the interests involved are found to be
so complicated that the Court of Chan -
eery has been unable to determine them,
To consummate the transfer it private
aet of Parliament will now be neces-
sary. This will mean submitting the
Times' affairs to the House of Com-
mons, where many members, it is pre-
dicted, will indulge in sharp eritieism of
the Times' polities and attempt to block
the proposed transaction. Sir 'Edward
Tennant, a Liberal member of Palle-
ment and a free trader, is the largest
inlividual owner of the Times' stock,
[diet the Walter faintly. Ile is reported
to have declared that he would make
every effeet to frustrate the plan of
handing the ilowspaper over to Pearson,
