"The most subtle kind of insincerity does not consist in deliberate willingness to mislead others; it consists rather in complacently allowing outward forms to bo substituted for n genuine inward life. It is one thing never to speak Insincerely; it ia a deeper thing always to Insist on being sincere. This deeper meaning ia Jesus' thought when he says, 'Ve shall not be as the hypocrites'" (Fosdlck). Can anyone say he is guiltless of this subtle kind ot insincerity however free he may be of that piety which advertised itself to gain applause which Jesus instances, the standing and praying In the synagogues and In the corners of the streets���to be seen of men? It was the appearance of righteousness that the hypocrites counted, not for righteousness-itself. "To be seen of men is, after all, one of the most influential incentives to human conduct. Some people go into reckless* extravagance in order to be- seen to have certain qualities than actually to possess them. Tliere are many righteous men in prison while a great many whe should be there are outside and seen of men to be righteous; but ihe average man, if it came to the actual test, would rather be in the position of the hypocritical scoundrel than in that of the publicly con; demned righteous man. Many a refined woman w>uld rather nourish'a secret sin than be discovered in a slight open breach of etiquette. We all incline to the Pharisaic preference of a good reputation to deeply religious character" (H. S. Brewster). "Verily. I say unto you. Thej" have received their reward," said Jesus of the hypocrites. The Griek word means re: ceived in full, arc! is the one used in drawing up receipts. They havo received the full toward which they sought, they have been seen of. men. they have no claim whatsoever fo any further reward. KeepYour CHILD'S SCALP fiea/thy .

Speaking on the reason for cruise, the Morning Post says: "The navy has been pared to bone, and the white ensign has most vanished from the waters -where it was wont to be seen constantly. Our foreign service squadrons have been withdrawn or so reduced thai masiy ports in and out of-which British trade flows unceasingly have almost forgotten what a British man-o'-war looks- tike. In times past we were wont, ro safeguard the lives and interests of British "subjects all over the world, and our sea-borne commerce, by maintaining" adequati cruiser forces at . every station.

MacDonald, provincial Becretary, in North Okanagan by-election, the Oliver government will face the new Legislature on Nov. 3 with every probability of getting through the session unscathed. Although ,Dr. MacDonald'a defeat waa regretted, friends and political foes of the administration concede that the Liberals will be in power four years hence, and that a Liberal- Labor coalition will give the Premier comparatively easy sledding. The Premier's announcement Saturday that the Legislature will convene on Nov. 3 leads to the belief that the session will be a short and Bnappy one. It will probably ;be over on Saturday, Dec. 20. Little contentious legislation is on the agenda: 1 This is due chiefly to the fact - that for . the. past four years social, labor .and financial legislation'-., has been .; kept well abreast of the times, if not in advance of other provinces.W Barring liquor amendments and . thef final settlement of the beerf: question, no clouds appear, on 7. the^legislative horizon and;, the administration shonid have ho difficulty ih getting through thesession. WV . ��� Anotherfecpnbmy haB been effected by the new Minister'of Finance, ;.Hob. J,: -D. MacLean. Considering the provincial publicity bureau, which, costs S7>000 annually, not worth that,in service rendered, the minister has eliminated, temporar- .iiy'at least.- An investigation ie being held into the prospects, of (securing tourists for; British C6-. lumbia through this ! medium and if found promising the work will be continued at a later time.

The way to approach the E.P. ranch is from Calgary to High River, 40 miles south, on the Canadian Pacific Railway. From High River one has to drive southwest a distance of 35 miles through one of the richest grain-growing and stock-raising countries in North America. In the distance the jagged peaks of.the Rockies dip the clouds and below, well-wooded, are the foothills. The road cuts through the centre of the "Bar-U" ranch and about one mile and a half from the limits of the "Bar-U" the low rambling bungalow where the Prince is now living is seen through a pretty glen. It is a homelike looking place typical of many a rancher's home in "Sunny Alberta." Here his Royal Highness goes "back to the land." . The Prince pf Wales has never ..ceased to exhibit a keenfinterest; iri; hisf ranch, and';fresh.'indications are periodically given'.off the' importance he, attaches to it and thefworkit is doing;;.. After purchasing the ranch, arid before -returning" .to"! England, thef Prince /made-' arrangementsforfthe shipment of some, of;thef:beststock in the. British! Isle_Vto :thef:Canadian WestfV Thoroughbred horses came from the Royal stall, Shorthorns from the King's farm/Shropshire sheep from"the Duke of West minster's estate, and hardy Dartmoor ponies from the Devon Moors, a type of animal previously unknown in Canada. From time to time since then fresh additions of the most excellent stock have been made. The work still continues. In an area such as Westernr,Canada, which has for years devoted itself to the elevation of the quality of livestock and has become internationally famous for the superior type of its horses and cattle, importations must be of an outstanding distinctiveness to be worthy of. special note, but this the E.P. Ranch has effected. At Alberta provincial exhibitions the animals from High River are attractive features. In its brief history, the'E.P. Ranch has^come to play an important part in the Western Canadian live-stock industry, and it has done not a little in the development of a more sympathetic, understanding for Canadian agriculture in.the British Isles... Its establishment was an-.indication of.the importance attached to"agriculture''' in .the: Dominions-:off.the Empire its continuance aiiV promotion an encouragement to the western live-stoclc industry, faith in the future,' and a stimulus to.thu attainment of perfection inbreeding.
