The sanity of this pro- cedure, when compared with that of the strikers to the south of the line, is very significant; and the heads of. the Canadian unions affected are to be congratulated on the step they have taken.

THE SINCERITY OF THE MASTER A favorite passage from the pro- phets which Jesus quotes:--"Thig people honoreth me with their lips; | but their heart is far from me. But in vain do they worship me, teaching as thelr doctrines the precepts of men," is a passage which deals in scathing terms with the sin of hypoc- risy. Hypocrisy is a very old thing in the world, yet it seems perennial- ly young. We join the Master in His condemnation of the Pharisees: it is popular to do so:besides they are dead. But the thing which Jesus condemned in them was their con- tentment to judge and be judged Ly the 'outward appearance:;" in car 1g little for the real goodness and use- fulness of life so long as a respects able appearance can be maintained. This sin is very modern. Some on» has 'written: "He stands having his loins girt about with religiosity and having on the breastplate of respecta- bility.

STRIKES, After dragging along, without at- tracting a great deal of attention. for three months, the strike of coal miners in the United States has as- sumed the status of a serious prob- lem, * Now that there is coupled with it a gigantic and ever-growing strike of railway workers, whose members in a few days may reach half a mil. lion men, there is a danger that tho entire industrial fabric of the North American continent may be hopeless- ly disorganized. this will happen unless some definite settlement is reached very soon, for the measures which are being | threatened on hoth sides will simp- ly serve to make things worse ine stead of better. President Harding is undoubtedly faced with a very difficult situation, for-the miners are apparently anxi- ous to find out if his threat to take over the mines and operate them is a plece of bluff or a serious proposal. In the railway tangle his ubles are even more serious, b it is the duty of the state to protect the railways from acts of violence, and experience has taught that when United States strikers reach a stat: of desperation' neither lite nor peop. erty are safe from their acts of vios lence. If President Harding intends to intervene In putting an end to the strikes, he will have to choos? between peaceful methods and force. The former have, to a certain extent, been tripd, with little success, for the strikers have refused to agree to return to work while the questions under dispute are settled by an af- bitration board. Meanwhile the win- ter is rapidly approaching, and un- leas there is an early resumption of production in the coal mines there is going to be a serious shortage of coal. The other alternative left to the president is to put the mines into op- ertion without paying any attention to the strikérs. This is an expedient which should be used only as a last 'Tesort, for it is sure to bring open warfare, He might take the mines over and operate them in the name of the United States government, making such terms as way be deeru- | ed wise with the miners, The other | alternative is that strike-breakers And non-union men be employed ta work the mines and given military protection. Either plan would mean violence and bloodshed, and oniv when every other possible solution is tried should one of them be used. break the rallway strike by using troops; and as the situation stands to-day it is a very serious ~ One thing which stands out as sig. nificant in the whole situation is the sane attitude of the Canadian 'with wage reductions equally us Jarge as their fellow-workers across: - "he border, they have retramng from {cased in the helmet of spread- -ragle patrioti§m. Holding in his left hand the buckler of worldly success and in his right the sword of influence he is able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand." It is an ugly picture, for it is an at- tempt at superficial goodness or af best to make other people's approval the standard of judgment of fhe mo- tives which prompt us to action. In contract, we need only quote Spurg- eon's estimate of Gladstone: "We ba- lieve in no man's infallibility, but it is restful to feel sure of one man's Integrity." The attitude of Jesus to life was one of absolute sincerity. There ars no imaginable circumstances under which He would have deceived any- one. His habit was to tell the plain truth, neither for Rabbi nor Phari- Bee nor Sadducee did He trim His utterances. He spoke to men who over-emphasized religious form and minimized spiritual reality and He insisted that their .religion was a sham. The central passion of His Ute was genuineness, and He placed, beiore His disciples as their ideal the simple, unaffected sincerity of a It is certain that} child. Ruskin- describes the statue of doge which he found in ome corncr of a Venetian church. The side tow- ard the light was elaborately finish- ed, the side toward the cormer was left rough. The forehead, the cap, the ermine robe on the visible side were carefully executed; on the dark side the marble was unwrought. "Now," says Ruskin, "come the very gist and point of the whole matter, This lying monument is at léast ver- acious, if in nothing else, in its test- mony to the character of the sculp- tor. He was banished from Venice for forgery in-1487." One wonders sometimes how much genuine sincerity appears in the lite | of to-day? How much even among smart paragraphers who say clever things about great modern move- ments like prohibition and women's dress. Does the cleverness revea: a lack of honest thought, a cynical character or a heartless or salacious attitude to life ? Smartness is some- times the mask of insincerity, and it ¢pn never take the place of honesty of thought and motive. Much that is said about the good old days smacks of the same ingenuiness. Does any thoughtful person really want them back? Equally dangerous to the mes- sage and mission of the church is this veneer of unwholesome insincerity. Is it not much past the time when the ministers of the Christian chureh should "consider themselves in the light of heralds of the redeeming grace of God, the proclaimers of good news--rather than the apostles of negative intellectualism and lugu- brious doubt ? The real evil in hu- man life, says Jesus, lies in the sec- ret thoughts and not in faulty cere: wmonial, and therefore a man's in- ner life must be cleansed, The glory of the Master is the absolute genu- Ineness of His life.
