In the days of the prophets religious
worship was a matter of the most
solemn and Impressive form. But
since then the times have changed
and men have changed with them. In
ancient days people were called to
prayer by the sounding of the shofar;
now their attention is attracted by
brass hands and theatrical devices. In
eotne quarters, indeed, religion seems
to have become more of a diversion,
in the hands of some of its propagators,
than a very serious spiritual affair in
volving the eternal welfare of immor
tal souls.

Too many persons who pose as mor
alists have no sense of proportion.
They are inclined to judge all the rich
by the worst specimens of the wealthy,
Just ns they might Judge all the per
sons engaged In business pursuits or
In a profession by an unworthy type.
There are unrefined and vicious per
sons in our wealthy classes; there are
: stupid and rattle-brained men and
women in soHety, but there is no bet
ter reason why the whole body of
wealthy persons should be judged by
the worst specimens than that any oth
er element In society should be rated
according to the demerits of Its mean
est type. The rich have their weak
noses, no doubt, but there is good rea
son to believe that our sensational mor
alists exaggerate them, being blind to
the virtues of Croesus, but with
b;irp eye for nil Ills faults.

"Grass Is one of the notable talnga
a bout all the landscape of Wester
Canada. It la a remarkable fact that
the entire length f the Canadian Fa
cifle Railway from its eastern termi
nus to the Kocky Mountains is ever
plains where grass grows. Tbe sage
brush appears at Rime points, but
never to the exclusion of grass. There
Is thus not a mile of thLs country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose either for tilling or ranch
ing. "Moose Jaw Is a town of over 2.0XI
Inhabitants and one of the most Im
portant places in Assinlboia. being the
center of a very good farming country
and a great grain and stock shipping
point.
"Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand In hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef cat
tle several hundred In number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of
the citizens in the town.
"In rifling over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. Tbe great
need of the country is timber, which
g.ows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts oa
some of the farms and the trees oa
the residence lots In the town.
"Stories were told the writer of met
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the hind on which it
was grown originally cost thera. This
Is easy to believe In view of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year." Henry F. Thurston.
