Remember—it takes three to complete a call—t There are over one million local calls in Ontario and Quebec every day which fail to get through. These uncompleted calls mean two million min- utes a day wasted—congestion of traffic—constant irritation—a handicap to business. Some of them are =avoidable and some of them are our own errors. But many of them are mis- takes made by the person calling or the person called. It takes three people to complete a call. We are constantly striving to reduce our own errors. We are now pointing out some of the common errors in telephone usage because our aim is to provide the best possible telephone ser- vice'. and in telephone service, co-operation is essentiaL Answer promptly when your telephone rings. If it is not conveniently located in your home, con- sult us about it.

S. 5., LESSON FOR OCTOBBLI 13th Lesson Topic—Keeping Fit For the Sake a Others. Lesson Passage--Dandiell 1:8-211. Golden Teat—eCorinthians 6:19, 211. In Kirk's book on Daniel the Prophet, he says of this portion of the first chapter:—"It was because the young lad of seventeen believed that he could not partake of the king's table without defiling his con- science, that he inwardly resolved not to comply with the king's ap- pointment; and when we think of his youth, his being a captive in a strange land, and the danger of non- compliance, his decision is remark- able for its moral strength. Besides he acted with great prudence. In- stead of defiantly telling the master of the eunuchs that he would on no account submit to such a regulation, he takes the position of a suppliant, and pleads for relief from the obli- gation to obey. While favorably dis- posed towards Daniel, the prince of the eunuchs saw fit to decline his re- quest' on two grounds—the fear a incurring the displeasure of the king, and the fear of doing injury to their personal appearance. As his refusal, however, was lov- ing and gentle in its tone, Daniel was emboldened to go to the eunuch, who had special charge of himself and his three companions, and say:— "Prove thy servants, I beseech Thee. ten days, and let them give us pulsa to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the youths that eat of the king's meat; and as thou seest deal with thy servants." As this was a safe and reasonable proposal, the stew- ard, with perhaps the secret permis- sion of his superior, "hearkened unto them in this matter and proved them ten days"; and as they were, after a trial of ten days, fairer and fatter than the rest of the youths fed from the king's table, the steward gra- ciously allowed them to live on the same simple diet for the future. It is not necessary to suppose that there was anything miraculous in the re- sult of the ten days trial, as temper- ance and simplicity of living are cou- fessedly favorable to the health and beauty of the body. Jeremiah says of the Nazarites in Jerusalem: "The Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as if sapphire" (Sam 4:7). The four pious and conscien- tious youths were also blessed in their studies. "God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had under- standing in all visions and dreams." The fear •of the Lord is the begin- ning of wisdom, not only as regards right and successful ways of living and acting, but also as regards right and successful ways of study. Other things being equal, the pious youth will make greater progress in all kinds of learning than the youth who lives without God, inasmuch as he has the spirit of God to guide and strengthen him in his studies. The remarkable progress of these four youths is only an outstanding illus- tration of what is universally true. There is a noted difference be- tween the brilliant curriculum of Daniel than that of his three compan- ions. While all the four made dis- tinguished progress in "knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom," Daniel is especially mentioned as being distinguished for "understand- ing all visions and dreams." 'rhis marked difference was no doubt .partly due to special original endow- ment. "At the end of the days"—the three years which the king had appointed for their nourishing and training— the prince of the eunuchs brought in all the chosen Hebrew youths before Nebuchadnezzar, to be examined, both as to their person and attain- ments. As one not only versed in Chaldean learning, but possessed of brilliant genius, the young king was perhaps the best qualified in Baby- lon for testing the knowledge and ability of the young men. After communing with them, he found Dan- iel and his three companions far sup- erior to the others, not only in wis- dom but in the beauty of their persons. Their answers to his ques- tions in matters of Chaldean lore displayed such insight and skill as to fill the king with wonder and aston- ishment. Their 'w'isdom seemed to him to be ten times better than that of all the magicians and enchanters in his realm. And so he selected them for the public service. They were to stand before the king in the ret- inue of his servants. 'item as t4t-"9' Mae deliatte eapete. COSITADIS • ALUM E.W. GILLETT CO. LTD. TORONTO, CA. WORLD MISSIONS Early Mission Work in Indore. The first systematic and organ- ized attempts to evangelize around Indore were made by the ,Mission of St. John the Evangelist, better known as the Cowley Fathers. Fathers O'Neill and Goreh open- ed the mission work at Indere. For the first three weeks they lived on a verandah outside a hut that had been offered to Father O'Neill by an Indian non-Christian friend. The ver- andah was too low to stand upright. They ate only the food that the pea - pie in •the hut gave them and of 'course .ahatained from all animal Pool They ,had mac that server for tables, chairs =a bea'steade.

Another innovation, the advantagee of (vv)4ch were clearly apparent on a specimen new account which Miss Habhirk displayed, is the makincout of bills on special machines. Each figure is clearly typewritten and tot- als are made up mechanically. The account itself is on white paper, as- suring the subscriber a clear, neat and secure*, statement. During the transition period be- tween the old and new systems, it will be necessary to include charges in the different groups for periods of varying lengths. However, when the change has been completed, accounts will cover the regular periods, that is, the month preceding the date of the account for long distance and direc- tory advertising charges (if any) and exchange service charges for one month following. Each subscriber, Miss Habkirk stat- ed, will receive a notice with his October account and also with the following one. These notices explain the new system and indicate the per- iod to be covered by future accounts. The members of Miss Habkirk's busi- ness office staff are well acquainted with the features of the plan and will he pleased to furnish any additional information. used to living to a large extent. But for Mr. O'Neill it must have seemed that he was giving up a great deal. They had a disagreement once as. to the use of pepper in their food. Father Goreh maintained that if they were really going to try to live simply and "give pie' that they should not hide the natural tastelessness of their food by adding pepper. But Father O'Neill was not prepared to go that far and demanded that the pepper be continued. The work of the Cowley Fathers in Indere ceased with the death of Father O'Neill from cholera in 1882. He was the mission and with his pass- ing the work ceased. Soldiers carried him to his grave in the old Residency cemetery, Indere. He was only 13. What estimate can be formed of this pioneer mission endeavor? On the face of it there appears little to show for the toils of those years. But we must needs remember .that foun- dation work always lies concealed be- neath the surface. Not until the secret of all life service are revealed shall we know to what extent we as a mis- sion eiee debtors to these early work- ers. The forces that go to build up the Kingdom of' God are so diverse that we must give honor to workmen of many types. And if we venture to criticize the point of view of the Cowley Fathers we will find ourselves cnnfiict with a far-reaching type of Christian faith which has had its mlvocates in every page of the church. The monastic idea appeals strongly in many and it appears occasionally in every mission. — Rev. Principal Taylor. No more anxiety. No more danger. No more doubt.

NEW PLAN FOR TELEPHONE ACCOUNTS The Bell Telephone Company of Canada is introducing in this district a nefw plan of rendering subscribers' accounts, it was announced to -day by Miss Habkirk, local telephone man- ager. This new plan, known as "Ro- tation Billing," will become effective in this part of the system during the month of October. Under the new plan the Company's thousands of accounts, instead of be- ing sent out all together at the begin- ning of each month, will be prepared and mailed in six equal groups. The groups will be dated the first, sixth, eleventh, sixteenth, twenty-first and twenty-sixth of each month, and ac- counts in each group will be mailed within five business days after their date. Telephone subscribers served from the local exchange will receive ac- counts under the new plan dated the 21st of each month. Miss Habkirk pointed out several decided advantages of the new plan. Each account will show charges up to date. For example, the October ac- count, now being mailed as the last under the old plan, shows long dis- tance charges only up to the 20th of September. Under the new plain, such YORKSHIRE CRIPPLE WHO, SHOCKED ALL EUROPE An English contributor to the New York Nation says that not since the days of Pitt has any British states- man had behind him such an unani- mous nation as Philip Snowden. This would seem to be about the limit of praise, and one of the most extra- ordinary things that has happened in politicalleistory. Perhaps there was never a man in public life more in- different to the acclaim of the people and more accustomed to the attacks and jeers of his opponents than the present British chancellor of the ex- chequer. One can imagine him being like the classical philosopher, who, in the course of one of his addresses was interrupted by the cheers of the crowd. He stopped and inquired, "What foolish thing have I said?" But perhaps Mr. Snowden is net quite so stoical. We remember his curt comment, "If England is satisfied, I am satisfied," though we remember too some rather ungenerous or rather untimely references to the course tak- en by his predecessors in office. His wife has described him in Carlyle's phrase, "The Sea Green in- corruptible," and the less corruptible he is the more formidable and dan- gerous must he appear to all who stand for the existing order of things, for Mr. Snowden is opposed to it all. He is not an anarchist, but we have no doubt that if he had the opportun- ity he would have the will to shatter the present British political, social and economic universe to bits and re- mould it nearer to the heart's desire. He is being credited with having the finest intellect in the Labor party, and he is probably the most thoraugh- going Socialist in the present minis- try. He has also and by common con- sent of his critics, a remarkable gift for finance and economics. Indeed, Kathleen Woodward, writing in the New York Times magazine from Lon- don, says that he excells any chan- cellor of the exchequer since Glad- stone, and we have no doubt she is merely quoting what some competent critics have said. We can well re- member the ovation which the House of Commons gave Mr. Snowden when he made his first budget speech in the first MacDonald govesnment. This may, of course, have been as much a tribute to the personality of the man as to the wisdom of his pro- posals. Perhaps it was more so, for the House of Commons is like that. It will cheer the man while hooting his policies. The tragedy in Mr. Snow - den's life, while it has signally failed to make him tenderer to others has softened political asperities in his fav- or. He is a cripple, a bloodless little man who hobbles about on two sticks. He has been like that since he was a youth when a bicycle accident broke his bones and twisted his frame so that he lay on his back for a twelve- month, and never recovered hia health. In his convalescence he read every book on socialism and political economy which he could lay hands on, and when he rose from his sick bed he was as staunch a socialist as any man in England. His faith in the theory has increased with his years and there has increased also his abil- ity to put in forceful, often venomous speech the thoughts that 'arise in his none too charitable mind. He never indulges in personalities, but be has the gift of making his victims writhe. No man is more courageous. No man is more willing to stand alone for a principle. Zt cost him not a tremor, we believe, when he uttered his fam- ous ultimatum at The Enema, and when he was denounced in one French paper as the kind of Englishman who had burned Joan of Are, he would re- ceive the insult as a man gently dis- claiming a compliment. Mr. Snowden's people are believed to have been Yorkshire wearers, and there is at least no doubt about the Yorkshire birth and descent of Mr. Snowden. His had an elementary sehool education and then became a clerk in the 'Inland Revenue Excise department. After his health had been in some measure restored he became a Socialist propagandist, and sin 1904 was elected chairman of the Inde- pendent Labor party. The first of his political successes and one of the most memorable of them was his elec- tion in Blackburn, a Tory strong- hold, in 1906. This he achieved with- out money and with little eupport. Naturally he was a pro -Boer and this was one of the disabilities he had to overcome though he never sought to do so by apologizing. Like most of the other leaders of the Labor party he was against the World War end suffered ostracism and contumely as a result.

But there to no question that in MM. 'Snowden, a woman of intellectual distinction, he has one of the most popular hostesses in the ranks of the Labor party.
