Party Policy I the fortbcoming federal electian voters wîli be- came mast iuterested in policy of the various parties. This wîhl be due ta the tact that bath major parties -are! sportiug uew leaders wbo bave had na oppartuuity ta really provide ta the public their government paiicy. Nor have these lead- ers been in tederai action long ebough toallhow the voters to formulate their views and opinions. Due ta these con- ditions, *policy should become of more, importance in this caming eection than in the immediate past. There is no doubt that personalities wiIl be a big factor but it is onily superficial ta such items as party polîcy. We beleive the voter is now, more than ever betore, cousciaus of Canadian and world affairs aud can tormulate opinions on national and international att airs. The media of news reporting has greatly extended over the past decade and the man or, womau sittiug in bis oxVn home is immedi- ately taken ta the dooýr step ot ail happenings throughout the nation and the world. Under sucb conditions the politicai parties sbauld be preseutung their poliJcieson il major attairs of the nation lu a dlean-eut stat_,eet 50 th 't the voter may understaud the directidi- inichthieir goverument wouild taike Can- ada and by wbiat mneans. Let us face tlhe tact that the voter is intelligentaud deserves ta kuow, the inteut of each politicai party ou al matters ecncruiugÏ the country. WVhat O.hers Say What a difference a 100 years bas made in the gov- erning ot Canada! ln 1967 Ottawa looked atter the iuterests of 3,500,000 Canadiaus. Next June more than 11,250,000 will be gaîng tu the polis ta decide which party will torrn the neXt goverument and be respansible for the spending of somle $10,300,000,006 lu the current fiscal year. Such expenditures would have given the first prime mihister, Sir John A. Macdonald, cause ta blînk. The Chat- bamn Daily News recently couducted research, wbich sbowed durnug the first fiscal year of the public aceaunts of Can- ada the total expeuditure of the country was about $13 million. And, at confederation the gavernmnt imposed only indirect. taxes, as personai income tax was first iutroduced on a "temporary" basis with the outbreak ut the First World War. It was made permanent later through' subse- quent legi$iatian. The 1868 Publie Accounts indicate that the custams tarift was the major source of revenue accouutiug for about $.6 mi rmn 'w a little short of two-thirds ot the total. y u 1967-68 total federal revenues are expected ta reach $10,470 million, with that "temporary" persoual in- carne tax pnoviding some $2,815 million ta Cauada's coffers. Iu 1867, Canada was derivîng tunds fram custom duties oh mauy products. It may be iuterestiug ta note that duties on spirits and wiues beaded the list toilowed by molasses and sugan. 1 Excise duties were the uext best revenue producer and '69 cents a gallon au aloohol lead the way, followed by a duty ofun~e cent per pound on malts used lu beer. The detiued functions of the federal goverument haven't cbanged too much lu 100 years, altbougb it must be admitted the national'authority bas assumed mare power lu the iuterveuing years. The goverumeut bad 13 departments in 1867 as'com- pared with a cabinet cousisting of 24 members, îucludiug the Prime ministers'without portfolio at dissolution. -The Oshawa Timnes Seripture Lessons: Numbers 13: 17-33; Ephiesians 4: 1-16. Taken from a sermon pr-2ached by Rev. Basil E. Loiig. One of the Old Testament star- ies related to the exodus of the I{ebrew- peaple from Egypt and their attemipt to enter the land of Canaan under the leadership of Moses y7aiv that of certain men being chosen ta go into the strange new land and ta, spy it out. When they returned they told of a land flowing with milk and honey, a land ta be desired but that the mèn of the land were giants and the cities large and strongly' fortified. The mai- ority advised Moses and the rest of the people bot ta attempt to enter it. A minority section of the spy gropp admitted the facts related by, the others but urg'ed Moses to go in anîd possess the land, lthfft although it would be difficult it would be possible. Why this difference ln, perspec- tiv-e? Why was one group parai- yzed with fear wbiile the other was prepared to step confidently forward. Perhaps a dlue is to be found in the promise of theý Lord to Caleb, one of the men who hraught back a good report, "My servant ,Caleb, because hc, had an- other sinit with him. and bath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto -be went; and bis seed 'shahl possess it." Harry Emerson Fosdick has said, "The truth of the matter is "ýnat- sa much what life brings to us ini ber bauds as what we bring to lite in ýour spirits." The fearful scouts had looked at tbe situation 'and had been mucb impressed with -the very real- difficulties. But these diffi- culties were made yet more awe- some by the quality of unfamil- iarity. Standing before the ýmag- nified danger of the unkuownthey began ta doubt their own abilities and God's. Doubt crept lu and made rocm fi fear. Fear grew to prlzn terror, and terrer, as always, affectIed the judgment Large men, grew tiller aud strong cities grew,, stronger. They seem- ed to them,,elves to grow small- er and smallerý, weaker and wel-k- er until they said, "We seemed to ourseives like, grasshoppers." This is more than an aucient story, it is a page right out of life. Each one of us is at times overcome with this sense of little- ness, weakuess, heipieuess ahd hopeiessness. Life seems to pre- sent anily two -alternatives: to run awayV with pouuding heart or to bide iu trembling fear. Caleb and Joshua saw the dang- ers as clearly as the others, but they did not corne to feel like an insiguificant insect nor did tbey act the part. Tbey spoke of ad- vauce, hot retrýeat, of victory, not defeat. Their spirit was different. They bad a seuse of purpose and were conviuced that God does not ealu men ta poke about purpose- lesyin life, that they bave beehi calied to. advance. lThe difficul- tiesý were nat rernoved but they w7ere seen in the perspective of p-urpase. Furthermore, they biad faith in God. Tbey knew that un addition ta their skill and to their strength they could count on GQd. They were persuaded that when they had, done their very best the Almightly would fill ful the bal- ance., Because of their senlse of purpose and faith their spirits were distihctly differeut. They stood a littie straigbter and walk- cd with bokier step. They saw with clearer eye and spoke wîth greater courage aud confidence, They did not seem to themselves like grassh oppers. The challenge for us is not ta become Christiafis, but ta grow into Christian rnaturity, to dis- cover the purpose in if e and then ta express it In every ex- Ephesians he teaches, "Be no more childreu, tossed to and fro, aud carried about with every wind of doctrine."
