3Y the time this woman finishes her hand of
bridge and reaches the telephone the party
calling will have given up. The tardy bridge -
player will be told "Sorry — there's no one on
the line now, Madam".
Both off them will be annoyed—the person calling
and the person called. Both of them have wasted
time. 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. And when you make a call, wait
a reasonable time before giving up and causing a

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.

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

eharges will be right up to the date
of the bill.
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

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.

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

comport themselves, in public like
bears, tigers or porcupines we are not
wholly conyinced. 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. She
wears her clothes with as much grace
as any aristocrat in the land. She has
friends among all classes and these
friends she has at her home, which
