A story is told of Stanley Burke who after visiting Ni geria, returned to Canada and resigned his $30,000-a year position as an announcer on CBC television to de- vote his time to help bring to an end to the Nigerian civil war, which was then raging. Burke said, “I have the profound conviction that . . if enough people are willing to make a commitment, we can end this nightmare. More than a million Biafrans have already died and another million live under an almost certain sentence of death!” Myriads in Nigeria and Bi Biafra “sit in the darkness and in the shadow of (spir. itual) death” (Luke 1:79). How different it would be today with nations around the world if Christ's church, since its beginning had been totally committed to carrying out His directive, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 6:15). Isn't this so true. “If’ all had been totally committed to carrying out the great commission our world would then be a better place to live in and more souls would not have to go to hell; would not have to die without hope of eternal life. But surprisingly, not enough people are willing to commit their lives to God and accept Jesus Christ as Sa- vior, Lord and Master. And even more hing is that few tithe. After stating all these facts, he asked an important question: “Is this good stew ardship of our time, talent nd i " This is a there are even Christians who have not totally commit- ted their lives to God and have become powerless and even a stumbling block to all who are around them. At an evangelism seminar, the speaker gave a few basic facts about Christians that is heart-breaking and yket are so true. Here they are: 95 per cent do not win one soul; © 85 per cent do not wit- ness to win; e 80 per cent do not have family alters (pray in the morning and stop sinning during the day); © 90 per cent do not attend prayer meetings; ¢ 25 per cent do not read their Bible regularly on their own; 50 per cent do not attend church regularly; ¢ 70 per cent do not give money to the church, very question that all of us should ask ourselves. This is why I have entitled my article “Now is the time to move.” We have to begin somewhere and the best place to start is with our selves. As the slogan goes “why wait for spring, do it now.” Now is the time to move. We have to begin to make our move by committing our. selves to God and by getting a hold of that great com mission that belongs to all of us and not just to the minis. ters, evangelists or mission aries. God is calling each one of us to a total commitment, to a total dedication and all that we have to do is give of ourselves to God, that’s all. Do not put it off. God is calling you. He wants to use you in His great commission. Now is the time to move be- fore it is too late.

Pete Too many ships ply seas MONTREAL (CP) — A worldwide oversupply of ships plying the oceans has left eastern Canadian shipping agents scrounging for work that is getting scarcer. The oversupply means more ships are chasing the available cargo and freight rates have gone down steadily in the past four years, said Alexis Reford, president of shipping agents Robert Reford Inc. Rates have declined “since about 1981 and That's why you have these tremendous bankruptcies, said Reford, referring to major ship owners in Europe, Japan and the United States who have gone under. “When the owner goes bust, sooner or later the agent is going to go bust.” * . Canada has virtually no offshore merchant marine but it has hundreds of shipping agents, traditionally called steamship agents, who mainly represent foreign ship owners. Agents deliver goods to the ship from the shipper on a commission basis. They ensure foreign vessels get Joaded and unloaded quickly and leave with a full load. They arrange for a tugboat if necessary, moorings, river and harbor pilots, a boarding clerk and ship repairs. They deal with customs agents and obtain government health certificates to ship livestock, plants or food. But Reford said thousands of vessels are idle, many of them tied up in Greece. Agents give a number of reasons for the slowdown. Current low oil prices mean Arab nations buy less goods in North America and European countries are now trading more with each other. The introduction of containers means vessels have more time on the ocean. Istead of spending weeks in port to load and unload they now turn around in one to three days. And governments are also to blame, said Reford. “All over the world governments have been pouring money into shipyards and ship construction and ship operating subsidies as a result there’s been a tremendous surplus of tonnage,” he said. Reford added that Canadian agents have not fared as Conrad Black buys Saturday Night TORONTO (CP) — Finan- cier Conrad Black, who is building a major stake in the publishing industry, has bought money-losing Satur- day Night, one of Canada’s most prestigious magazines. Hollinger Inc., Black's holding company, announced Thursday the surprise pur chase of the monthly from Saturday Night Publications, a division of Dascon Invest: ments, whose principle own ers include Norman Webster, editor-in-chief for the Toron- to Globe and Mail.

Canadian exports — primarily natural resources such as grain, minerals and forest products — are also fairly steady. But Jack Crichton, president of the Shipping Federation of Canada, which has about 75 corporate members of agencies and related companies in eastern Canada, said, “In the shipping business, no one is making money. “Ships are still being built. It's generally recognized that the only way it will turn a profit is to have an international agreement to scrap some ships.” The introduction of the container in the 1960s changed shipping radically to-a capital-intensive industry from a labor-intensive one, said Joe Carton, chairman of Transworld Shipping Ltd. of Montreal. Ports used to be hives of activity but containers have decimated the ranks of stevedores, ship crews and to some extent the need for the agent middleman. At least one Montreal-based shipping agent, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, believes it has weathered the storm. March Shipping Ltd. is even planning expansion by seeking a representative of Australia, the only region of the world the company is not represented. “We succeeded in making’ a: profit in 1966, which: is almost an exploit right now,”said president Jean Legentil in an interview. “Many agents are going through a difficult period.” Legentil would not reveal sales figures for March Shipping because of intense competition between the agents. 7 Soviets seek trade balance WINNIPEG (CP) — Can- ada must buy more Soviet goods to balance the huge quantities of grain it exports to that country each year, ays the head of the Soviet Union's agriculture super- ministry. “I consider the unbalance in our trade a serious ob- stacle,” Vsevolod Murakhov sky told reporters while in Winnipeg on a one-day stop during a week-long visit to Canada. Speaking through an in- terpreter, Murakhovsky gave an emphatic “Nyet,” when asked if he, was threat- ening to reduce Canadian im- ports of wheat.
