When Donnie Watson's father greeted him over the telephone from 500 miles away, Donnie was Impressed no end. He couldn't resist boasting a bit to his next-door neigh- bour and playmate. Whenever you're called out of town, do as Bob Watson does — telephone home. It brings peace of mind at a trifling cost. Reductions in telephone rates—local and long distance — in 1935, '36 and '37 have effected savings to telephone users in Ontario and Quebec of nearly one million dollars yearly.

WHY PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED Here Is a boy starting to College He has been brought up in a frugal well -ordered home. He shares in its spirit, is pure -minded, unselfish; be has high purposes; his home training has so motivated him, but he is young; his principles are not yet fixed; it is possible for him to yield to temptation. Going to col- lege Is full of risk. In his new world says, a writer in the Montreal Star, it will be easy to get weaned from the spirit of the hone and to forget the purpose for tlhich ae is going to coflebe. His father, knowinv this, says, "You are going away from home; a1] I &elk of you is' to keep in mind the way your mother and I have reared you; do not let go the spirit of the household. You know what we have lived for, do not forget it. You are going to college, not to have a good }tine, but to get an education. Keep this in mind, and there Is nothing we will not do for you. So long as you share our• spirit, you may ask any - think of us', and we will do it, Keep Yourself one with and of us', and you can ask wiat you will, within the limits, of possibility; we will comply with your demands," So the boy goes out to face new responsibilities, What does the promise mean—"Ask what you will, and we will do Lt?" Unlimited cheques, tlregnent trips home, release !fromrules, easy courses', a good time generally? Are the requests to be of this sort, based on tho father's premise? By no means. The promise is condi- tioned by the spirit and nature of the request. The boy meat be loyal to the home, and he must be animated by the common pur- pose—as education, for service. Whatever he asks for with that end in view, be will get, In this way is given same hint of She meaning of -tht phrase, "In My Name." The tragedy of Christian experience is found more often in connection with prayer than anything else. 'Here is where faith breaks down ; more often than anywhere else, be- cause the meaning of 'In My Name' is not understood. Says someone, '+But here is the promise: 'Ask any- thing'; and there are the unanswer- ed prayers"—'I prayed God to spare my child and it died"; I prayed that my son might' be kept from evil, and he went .to destruction'; 'I swayed' for health, and I am sick." Here faith Miters because none of those praying thus have sought to help on the divine purpose. It is here that misunderstanding works so .fately. It is thought that the promise will be 'fulfilled because Christ has all power. Not power but spirit is what Christ meant. Ask as I ask; ask—"not my will but Thine be done." Ask for willing- ness to do the will of God. c�r_J1� INVITING THEIR MAJESTIES Without having had to do much searching at all we 'have noticed five coananunities which have al- ready decided they want the Royal visitors of 1939 in their midst. The decision has been ,made In most cases that .the proper way is. to in- vite fire King and Queen by for- warding the invitation to Lord Tweedsmuir; His' Majesty's repre- sentative at Ottawa. With such a move this, paper has not the least complaint; it seems the natural thing to think about. Their Majesties are canting to Canada . . wo wam•t them 1n our community . . so 'we will .invite them, It is even quite probable that the visitors, will be delighted to (tear there are many such. invita- tions awaiting them, But from. information itlready at hand it npepars that the visit to THE WORLD'S GOOD NEWS will come to your home every day through THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR An International Dally Neivtindier• It records for YOU the world's clean, cOhatruetlye doings, The Monitor does not exploit crime or sensation; neither docs'11 ignore them, but deals correctively with then, Ventures for busy men and all the tan 1]y, lnoluding the Weekly Magazine Section.

There are but 21 days in the three weeks, and there are nlme provincial eapi- tal8 and the federal capital aa well. We have about fifty places which rank a's cities and the sum total of towns and villages run into many many hundreds. So the practical side of the situation• must, become `sasertive and we will have to come to the conclusion that there are many places where their Majesties would be abundantly welcome and to which they will no doubt be lnvib ed but which they cannot possibly visit. One hos, also to consider the human element and the thing which we call fatigue is no respecter of persons, "Seeing Canada' 'in three weeks, and attending 'to what may be termed the official visits and functions will make sea1ioua inroads on the available time So it seems certain that many places, now ask- ing to be placed on the royal itiner- ary are going to be disappointed. WE ARE PAYING There is a good deal written and spoken at times about Canada be- ing unprepared for was, and it might be the conclusion wouid be drawn that we have indeed done little or spent little fr war pur- poses. There was a statement issued by Pension Minister C. G', Power showing that on •the last day of September there had been 98,037 cheques issued, and they go each month to pensioners of the Great War or to their dependents. 'S'in'e the Pension Act became effective during the days of the war Canada has paid no less thea: $770,0;17,364. The annual expenditure at the moment is, computed to be $40,442,- 626, In six more years it can, be stated that the amount we have paid do pensions for the Great War will be over the billion dollar mark. And that of course has nothing to do with the cost of the war itself, o rthe various schemes of rehabili- tation which were entered into by our various governments. We may be, it is true, unprepared for war, but we are paying on a large scale for the war in which we did partici- pate. Figure Out This One For Yourself We haven't the time to do it this week but no doubt many of our readers are capable of taking pencil and paper and' figure (this out for themselves, The story goes like this(: Let a young man or woman start in at the age of twenty years and, put away twenty dollars at in- terest, instead of buying cigarettes for instance. Most boys and some girls spend that much on "fags', in the course of a year, But tt you don't smoke probably you have a more vicious habit such as choco- late bars; or gum chewing. In any event put away twenty dollars a year a little over 5 cents a day. Do this every year and let the, interest 'stay there too for ;fifty years and when you react' the rime young age of seventy you will be able to laugh at the poorhouse. You tvi1L have to your credit •by that time the tidy sum of over twenty thous.: and db]lars. We just print the above to show your that even five cents a day systematically saved* will produce results', iii you can afford tett cents a day all the better.

Wrere timer is adequate forage of the right kind, these animals are to be found in good numbers and over a wide- spread area. They are keen witted, crafty, and call for real skill on the pant of the bunter in pua-suing them successfully. In a region where they are hunted extensively, the deer exer- cise uncanny inteilligence in eluding their enemies. While they are able to see at some distance, particular- ly strange movements, t,hey depend mostly upon their sense of ' smell and hearing to warn them of an ap- proaching danger. The hunter must proceed against the wind to get within firing range, if stili -hunting, and he must learn how to walk through the woods as noiselessly as possible, and without making quick motions, if he is to bag a prize buck. He must not cough, talk to his companions, or saroke while stalking the wary wlhitetails. The most favorable conditions, of course, are when the leaves are off the trees, the ground is wet or cov- ered; with a good 'tracking snow. and there is no wind blowing. But we can't always pilk the best times tor our hunts, so must rely upon skill and a knowledge of the habits of the deer to secure our trapiutes. ill•t� o CO NVENI EN CEad5AFETY Eliminate the fire -risk of old faulty wiring and at the same time give your home plenty of baseboard and wail outlets, smart new wall switches and modern lighting fixtures.
