Getting and Giving

Church members are of two kinds,
the getters and the givers.
Many people fail to apply to their
church membership the saying of the
New Testament, ut is more blessed
to give than to receive They test
their church life by asking. What
does the church do for me?' The
real test is in the answer to the
question, what service do | give
the church?'
Jesus came, not to be ministered
unto, but to minister. Everyone whe
follows Him must expect to serve,
not to be served. There are many
things the church anAdo for us. but
we do not belong to it for the sake
of what it does for us. 1t is to spend
ourselves, not to save ourselves, that
we unite together in the name OF
Christ.
The self givers among religious
people are all to few. Most of thost
with whom we deal in church life ar,
goodpeople. kindly and law-abiding
but without any adequate idea o
putting themselves to serious incon
venience because of their religion
faith. They are glad to see nobl
sacrices being made. but they max
none themselves. Their presence i
the church is more or less helpful
but they miss the great opportunitie
to find satisfaction and iov in reall
following in the way of Christ.
But if the self-givers are few, the
arc mighty in power. 1t is of thei
that the church, with all it implies,
built. They are the pillars in tn
temple. They are the salt of tt
ear tn. Some of them are poor an
low ly, as the world reckons thing
but they are the men and women wi
are the hope of mankind. There a
. few noble enterprises for the good
! men that do not rest, finally, on Il
faith and devotion of this glorio
. minority.
, There are two kinds of chur
: people, the givers and the gettel
With which group do you and | cou
> ourselves?

NEW CANADIAN DUTY
HITS U. S. COAL TRADE
Declaration of Import Charges
Affects BituminouS Mine
Owners.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The already harassed coal industry
of this country has become more so
since March IA, because of Canada in
voking a dumping order against Amer
tcen bituminous.
An official decree authorized by the
Canadian rder-in-coupcil. just re-
ceived by the Department of Commerce
here, places value of 81 per ton on
slack bituminous and SIPS per ton on
the run-of-mine product for import
duty.
These values apply at point of pro-
duction. When exported to Canada
from diversion point or intermediate
distributing point. all charges to such
point must be added, the advice says.
Dumping duty applies on shipments at
lower values. Imports bona fide pur-
chased and in transit to Canada on or
before March IA are not affected, the
department says.
This action is construed in here as
an apparent determination of Canada
to prevent coal entering the Dominion
which sells at a price considered by
Canada to be unreaSonably low. In the
practical working of the plan, coal
selling in America at less than the value
fixed by Canada, will be subjected TO
additional duty equivalent to the diff
ference between the invoice mine price
and the value as fixed by them.
The extent of injury to the American
coal industry will be governed by that
portion of our exports selling below the
prices fixed by Canada Whether the
edict viii succeed in keeping out of
Canada even this portion is speculative
Shipments of bituminous to Canada
averages between 100000 and $780,
coo tons annually but no statistics are
available as to what percentage of this
amount would come within the scope
Of the dumping action.

DECLINE IN SAVING

Excess of Deposits Over
Withdrawals ShrinkS
in New York.
snecial DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 19.-Continued
increase in savings deposits showed a
marked slowing down in rate during
February, as compared with the two
preceding months Aggregate net eX-
cess of deposits over Withdrawals in all
hut five of the savings banks in New
York State during February was $40,-
27O, 729. compared with SOS, SGT 037 dur
ing January, and STATIC, 764 during De-
celnber.
"A year ago the net excess of deposits
over Withdrawals for these same banks
was Sl9,9S5192, against $25, ABS, 496 in
January and $10,04l, 772 in December,
while February 1929, showed net de-
post of only S5,122,l83, against $8,7l9,-
628 in January, 1929.
While February in previous years has
shown a smaller gain in deposits than
tho months Immediately preceding it, as
in the present year which would indi-
cate a purely seasonal change, 1t is be-
leved that the present slowing down
represents the passing of the peak of re-
adjustments in the commercial! banking
field in New York City. following the
closing of the Bank of United States and
Chelsea Bank & Trust Co. in December
Both of thees institutions had large pro-
portions of so-called special interest or
thrift accounts, and paid interest at
rates appros ching that paid by savings
banks. Two other commercial banking
institutions with large thrift accounts
joined the Clearing House Association
and had to redues their interest rate on
these accounts to the clearing house
maximum Of per cent. Other institu-
tons took occasion to reduce their rates
at about the same time All of this
started movement to the mutual saw
jngs banks that it only now showing
signs of abatement. The movement
started suddenly about the middle of
December, and stopped almost as
abruptly about the middle of February.
