THURSDAY. JULY 19, 1928 IMPORTANT BANK The amalgamation of The Standard Bank of Canada MERGER with The Canadian Bank of Commerce, which has been approved by the Ministâ€" er of Finance and awaits only ratification by the shareholders of the respective institutions to become effective. unites two of the oldest banks in Canada and will secure for the customers of both increased facilities for their business. Sir John Aird. President of The Canadâ€" ian Bank of Commerce. will be President of the united bank, while Mr. Arthur F. White, President of The Standard Bank of Canada, will be- come a Viceâ€"President. Mr. S. H. Logan, General Manager of the the former bank, has been made one of the Directors and will be the General Manager. while Mr. N. L. McLeod. General Manager of the latter bank, will become an Assistant General Manager. Several of the present Directors of The Standard Bank of Canada will sit on the united Board. The stock of the smaller bank will be exchanged for that of the larger on the basis of share for share. and the total paidâ€"up capital and reserve will reach a figure of nearly $50,000,000. The assets of The Canadian Bank of Commerce as at the end of May amounted to $583.107.379 and those of The Standard Bank of Canada to $104,486.â€" 821. The united institution would therefore have total assets in the neighbourhood of S700.000.000. Incorporated in 1867, The Canadian Bank of Commerce has always taken a leading part in the development of Canada. serving not only the older sections. where it was well established. but doing extensive pioneer work in the newer and outlying portions of the Dominion. Its chain of 584 branches stretching from coast to coast will now be strengthened by the addition of the system which The Standard Bank of Canada has been building up since its inception in 1873, especially in the home province of Ontario where the latter bank has at present 174 branches. Allowing for duplications. it may be estimated that the united institutions will have about 780 branches. including the offices of the bank abroad in London. England. the United States, the Carib- bean and in Rio de Janeiro. At present, besides its Ontario representâ€" ation. The Standard Bank of Canada has also 49 branches in the Prairie Provinces and offices in Montreal. Vancouver and St. John, N. B. The amalgamation will give customers of that bank the addition- al advantage of‘ an extensive connection throughout the Dominion and abroad. The merger is of interest locally as there are several branch- es of the Standard Bank in York County located at Richmond Hill. Thornhill. Lansing, Maple. Aurora. L'nionville. Markham, Stouffville and other centres. “GOD PROVIDES THE MEAL BUT" There are a lot of people who. either from laziness or stupidity, take literally the words, “The Lord will provide" and. consequently. suffer sad and frequent disappointments. It is very true that the Lord provides. He is the Universal Provider. But He provides ac- cording to laws which operate to carry His will and with which must cooperate. There is an old saying that bears on the. matter: “God provides the meal but does not cook the dinner." It holds true. Look around you and you will see that there is an abundance of everything provided in nature for man's use and sustenance and to fit him to carry forward the great scheme of human progression. Of food. multitudinous varieties and quantities; far more than the peopl- es of the earth can possibly use for their food requirements (What a tragedy, under these circumstances. that so many go hungry?) No matter what kind of food. animal. fish. or vegetable. the most abund- ant supply is there. But fish must be caught, animals killed, crops grown and harves- ted. “God provides the meal butâ€"" It is the same with regard to all the other material that man quires with which to fashion life. Minerals. timber. power. light. heat everything in abundance. all waiting to have human energy and skill applied to them to pIaCe then fully and unreservedly at the service of \\' 8 1‘8- mankind.
