The chances are | at least more1 than even that tlie out put of their mills is better adapted I to meet home needs than those of! some distant! foreign producer.

' ',T' Yot if this feeling is analyzed, It is seen to be about as well founded as the fancied superiority of foreign goods. The home store does a small er business than some distant depart ment emporium. It loses a fraction of cost there, But It more than makes It uo')ay cheaper rents. Then there Is the fact that the larger a business center is, the more it costs to run a store there. Almost every item in the expense account is at a higher rate. All think this Is charged |*to IhttoVQt.?*^ K| p/n For such reasons a well advertised home Store is about as efficient a ma chine- for 'serving the public , as you can get.

They are asked to consider Ihes? matters at the conference of Western governors meeting In Denver-the second week in April. There is a general popular failure to realize the basis on which prosperi ty rests In the irrigation districts: It It a mstter affective also the great body of people through the East who j are buying irrigation securities, ?lrths owuier qftjri f*h while the real trouble may be far up the, mountainsides, where someone has cutdown or burned ovjr tracts of of trees.

Luke 12:1-2. In this I . - <mi Christ warns his dis ciples, not against hypocrites, but UKainst hypocrisy in their own lives. Hypocrisy Is the double life, where the Inside and the outside are not In accord. There are those who think they escape tills double life by living un-<"hr!stlan lives. Their hearts are not Christian and they make their out ward conduct accord with their hearts. They escape the kind of hypo crisy of the ancient Pharisees, but 1 am not sure that they escape the thing itself. If the Pharisees bad brought their conduct; down to the level of their hearts they would certainly not have hulned things. The ?luesildo ? is sometimes asked which ought' to be the standard, the outside or the inside? Ought we to see to it that the conduct accords with the secret life or ought we to hold the conduct right and make the inward life accord with it? The answer '.s, neither and both. The standard is not either our outward or our inward life, hut Christ's requirements. Now usually a man's outward life Is nearer *hese requirements than his inward *e. The outward life of these Phar es was. Therefore usually a man ought to maintain this right outward life and see to it that his iuwa.M Mfo is brought up. To bilng'the outward life down and make it as irreligious as is the heart does not destroy hypo crisy, as Is usually thought. Always in the heart even of the most irreli gious, there is the conviction of what Christ requires. This conviction is ,the standard and where one's life, either -orfttfard or Inward, willingly falls below it. one is lapsing into hy pocrisy1. It is ( a| ?rcat\, mistake to think that hypocrisy lfc confined to church members. '"The'-iV?thlMfc; the greatest hyppcrlsy- In thevrworid :s where men ?a\w Cfartfetlau ,?on.v,i?tionB which Uheyi hide ^because, i.t&epc are ashamed,.of them. , After m?VT and women know that'Christ is'tfhe and that thoy ought to give their lives to his service and yet they hide their real thoughts and deliberately go forth V. a lifo worldly and selfish. This is the hypocrisy* that we aie In danger of today and this is the hypocrisy our lesson deals with. Our passage gives a number of consideration which will help a Christian to fight ofT hypocrisy. 1. The fear of exposure, verses 2 and 3. These vers?B show that the whole Inner and secret life of a man wi!> be made known to all * men. What a man Is, "the things coveredj up;'.' what ho really thinks the things hid;"' what he secretly wants,, tho things "said In darkness;*' and what he privately advocates, the thlugs "spoken In the ear In the inner cham ber;" all these shall be exposed and miatte^f *Uo4 out as what they are TttttJtviia ffb hold no sac ret as tc character and moral and rellgioui convtsilcm. These things of each max pfflppg.to all. men and God will see tc It that they are given to au men Therefore a man had best not try tc hide them In any way, for If he doee he will certainly one day be revealed as a hypocrite. If this Inevitable revelation was before the minds of men tbey would be more open and bold in all things religious and moral. Moral cowardice lives only In the hope of continued secrecy. / 2. The fear or God, verses 4-6. These *?? ......... tl'n?.l.) rpkl. V^.? ?.n n hide their real convictions la because they fear men. Evil has a way of en llBtfa3 tyrants as Its administrators f. ndtyr&nts threatened an injure men Who stand up against evil. There. Is ?ardlyone'man in a million who rea.1 r believes. in.rant* evil.. btui si <? nnt this proporlfon^oniy th'?fYil?port ovff The world on all hands has those wvs talk for evil and those who applaul and sanction this talk. The cause of this, when it is traced to Its source, $ fpilod. to beHhe.ffJar/^r man. ThS la what geeps so. many from Christ: and frdnyJMsttAOfth and from h$ causes of righteousness, refonn and ni6rcy. The remedy is to cultivate tub ftor of God. The cowardice that ^cn|enprie*?ai!^rr|al convictions b<} ^^fffe# lslif^e8picable thin* in tbo^ailbroT TOdHfad will Incur this! fearful ct.sequence of bla wrath. Men abo punish those that fight evil can, bt the very furtherest kill only the hotly, but God can destroy the soul it aolf In h?1l Th~ *~-?" ? *?_ - he will thus destroy the, soul wf The man that has lived a cowardly life in the ncidst of ?11 the rabral battles of this world. The words of Christ, "lea, i say unto you, fear him," arc wonderfully Impressive. This passage baa some sidelights thai should not be overlooked. From It we see what Christ thought on some very deep problems. It teaches that the soul 'jao.have a separate life frou the body. It does not die with the body: but? after Abe body is dean it can be held to an account of its'own and'be'ctntiMrito'bell. The ca ,t or the soul into hell Indicates no' tVat It Is annlWl?iM but that It romains in a state of punishment. If the pun ishment of neu was annihilation there would be not sense In distinguishing what happons to the roul In Its death from- that which happens to tho body lu Its death. 5. ?*aith In God, verses i, ?. Our fear of God must not be dread, but a fear thst springs from reverence of His holy p?ture. This know be cau?e along with fear w-.? can have an absolute faith in God to take care of us that is so insignificant as to be bo low this care. There Is no cause of right so small as to be unimportant God cares even for the sparrows he has made Jiow much more for the very least of all his children. The very hairs of our heads are all numbered. That is .they are all valued. The whole bunch of hairs pos?es ted by any one of us is of much value, but a man hadly values just one of his hair. Yet tr all have their value then every ont, has aomo value, small and Infinitesimal it may be, but some, value. Xuw. 1 Department K KB HT AK Y S2, 1011. r. CODY Cod In his care of us considers even that infinitesimal value and will aee to it that we do not lose even that In our stand for him and his cause. 4. The reatness of the issue, verses 8-10. When men face the duties ol religion and of moral reform they seldom realize the importance of the issue. They see the earthly prize to be gained by deiniiiK Christ and hid ing their real convictions; and they tiiink that they see that no such evil would be done if they sacrificed the spiritual for the temporal. But it is in these battles which this world con siders as almost nothing that a man's eternal atanding is determined. Those who confess Christ in these bat tels are objects of his confession in heaven itself and those who deny Christ ere denied by him. This les son implies another reason why It Is so Important to act out our religious and moral convictions, namely, when men deny these convictions they be come infected with hyporlsy; and hypocriey when it is full grown brings forth death. One of the signs of full grown by pocrlsy is the Bin against the Hoiy Ghost. Men can deny their convie Hons of truth until at last they coran to boldly speak evil of Christian good and openly praise the vice and evil of the world. Such a state and sin can not be forgiven. 5. The help or God; verses 11-12. It will help us to live an open and courageous Christian life to know that God will always give us tho help of bis Spirit In the hours and places rwhere we need his wiBdom and Strength. ?-?
