We need ever to remember that truth is not less true because a lie steats her name. It is not strange, however, whea bigo- try, hypocrisy, geed, cent, and design- Ine 'humbug arrogate to themselves the names of religion, and even einem ex- clusively to reptesent it, that honest men who love truth end kindness, gentleness, and goodness, look askance on religion, and prefer that their virtues shell not lie to Ile credit. Still others feel that religion is so re - mete from their lives that they have no time to give to its consideration. IL may be well for persons of leisure, sentimen- t'sl or slothful, to dream of spiriLs and heaven, 01 110 soul and es ealvation, but =dor lis need our energy for the every- day business of living. 11 religion Is made synonymous with theology, 11 seems le be the concern On- ly of the specialist. Ile may make it his basiness to split hairs and Lo decide be- tween northwest and southeast side, but st ch subtleties are not only beyond us —they appear to be A SHEER WASTE OF TIME, especially when there Is so much le La done In our short lives and for our needy weed. Then you meet the other man, who, with all his business and his peactical mindedness, still geh his chief pleasure and excitement in religion. Often 110 will zealously insist that his form df re- Itgion is the only one, all others being indtations designed to your eternal un- doing should you ever regard them with favor. And so, perhaps, you have come to the cenclusion that, while religion may be necessary for thou who desire 11 amuse themselves with (Ls forms and philosophy, for yourself its controveralcs and Duthie - lions, its seeming unreality orni its ire- quent misrepresentations, make i1 rather a hindranoe than a help in your life. Yet ;religion is the most simple thing ln the werld. We are all a good deal more religi•nes than 500 1111111C, except when we thee< we are wholly and exelto steely relight's, All as subtleties and controvenha rem from our attelnids 11) analyze its phenomena. In it.self the re- ligious life is ae eimplo ae the healthy life, Religion Is the lite of ideals. The re- ligious life to one that moves on into its Meals, .realizee ad pendently develops thern. II, is the spirit thnt moves us all with divine discemtent—that leaves no man satisfied with 'himself en" with his world. It strews after perfection. It SVP1<0 the ideal IsIngdein. Religion Is the spirit which three each day, not only in the light of things Lis they arc but well high regard for things as they ought to be. It, lifts bethee a men visions of high character, of great passions, noble sacrifices, unselifish liv- ing, of better social conditions end a more haemonloue social order.

The Cobalt Central has leased the Bail- ey property on a heels of 50 per cent. of the net production to trio Bailey COM- pany.

This main shaft on the Central will elm be used as the 1110111 strait on the Bniley property M take out the ore which has been devel- oped on the Bailey. The acquisitien of this lease will undoubtedly Liman that a large revenue will be available for both companies, with practically no expense to the Bailey Company, and a eempara- lively small expense to the Cobalt Cen- Mat which Is already well-equipped with large sompreseor plant and a concentrat- or which is giving good results on the low-grade cues. PROSPECTING ON THE FOSTER. Last week, at the end of tete week, Fos- ter laid off about half of their them, and a Is elated that a considerable amount of surface prospecting will be done dur- ing the summer. A very small corner oi the Foster lot only has been prospected In any extent, and with the number of rich veins 111111 11505 been discovered on adjoining properties, it is likely that 0 goodly number 01 111080 will be located on the Foster in trenching. On 'the NOVO. Scotia a force rif GO men is employed. The main shaft has reached a depth of 180 feet M four levels, aol is showing up well with development.

At the Ken' Laleo the greater portion of the wore: is being carried on from No. 3 shaft, ' A winze was sunk at the 150 - foot level at a depth of 250 Cod and the vefn has improved in width and values. The ore shipped from 11118 vein laved- nbly runs a dollar per pound or 32,000 per ton.
