It may be the operator, it may be the person calling, it may be the person called. There are over one million local calls in Ontario and Qnnebec every day which fail—"Line's Busy" —"No Answer"—"No one on the line now, sir"— 'Wrong Number". These uncompleted calls are a serious matter. They mean two million minutes a day wasted — congestion of traffic — constant irritation — ffi handicap to efficient service. Some of these cannot be avoided and some oil them are due to our own errors, and many off thein are due to ck of co-operation by the other two parties. ¢We are constantly reducing our own errors and we are constantly striving to give the best possible telephone service at lowest possible cost. As part of this effort we are now giving publicity to common faults in telephone usage in the hope that there may be mutual endeavour to secure and maintain 'maximum efficiency. 71t takes three people to complete a call — if one makes a mistake, the call fails. °It is costing more than $27,000,000 this year to extend and improve tele- phone service in Ontario and Quebec.

Nehemiah 6:3; John 5: 17:9-4; Acts 20:33-35; 2 Thessalon- ians 3:6-12; Ephesians 41:28. Golden Text -2 Thessalonians 3:10. Genesis 2:15—iln this verse we read that God put Adam into posses- sion of the Garden of Eden. Matthew Henry obserivSes that Adam was made out of common clay, not of paradise dust. The same hand that made him a living soul, planted the tree of life for him and settled him near by it. We read too that God appointed him business and employment. From this we see that the husbandman's calling is an ancient and humble call ing; it was needful even in paradise. The garden of Eden, though it need- ed not to be weeded (for thorns and thistles were not yet a nuisance) yet it must be dressed and kept. Nature, even in its primitive state, left room for the improvement of art and in- dustry. Exodus 20:9 — In this command- ment is stated a definite period which is sufficient in which to both serve and tire ourselves. Afterwards comes a stated time in which to wor- ship and rest. Nehemiah 6:3.—In this verse we see what. estimate Nehemiah put on the work he was doing. It was a great work that of building up the walls of Jerusalem and setting up the gates again. Nothing must draw him off from it. Four times his en- emies tried to persuade him to join them on one pretext or another but every time his answer was "There is work to do that must not be neg- lected." - John 5:17; 9:4.—.Jesus was accused of breaking the Sabbath. In this verse he states his defence of what he had done, "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." The example of God's resting on the seventh day from all His work is, in the fourth commandment, made the ground of our observing it as a day of rest Now God rested only from such work as He had done the six days before; otherwise He worketh hitherto, He is every day working, Sabbath days and week daye; upholding and gover- ning all the creatures therefore when we are appointed to rest on the Sab- bath day, yet we are not restrained from doing that which has a direct, tendency to the glory of God. "I must work the works of Him that sent me." The Father when he sent His son into the world, gave Him work to do. He was a worker to- gether with God. Christ having laal Himself under obligation to do His work, laid out Himself with the ut- most rigour and industry in work. All the business of the mediatorial Kingdom was to be done within the limits of time, and in this world. Acts 20:33-35.—Paul here tells the people to whom he was preaching that he never aimed at worldly wealth. There were many in Ephes- us, and many of those who had em- braced Christian faith, who were rich, had a great deal of money and plate, and rich furniture, and wore very good clothes, and made a very good appearance. Paul was not ambitious to live like them. He could live comfortably and usefully, without living great. He was their example not only in working in an honest employment, that he might be able to live and at the same time have something to give away saying "It is more blessed to give than to receive." 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12.—The ap- ostle in these verses gave them direc- tions concerning right living. Some of the Thessalonians were idle. It may possibly have been that some of these hearers had a notion that Christ would be returning shortly and this served them for a pretence to leave off work. Paul in writing to Timothy again warns against idle- ness, fhr they are not only idle but busy -bodies, speaking things which they ought not. Ephesians 4:28.—Paul in this chap- ter showed that converted Gentiles should not live as unconverted Gen- tiles did. In this verse he cautioned them against the breaking of the eighth commandment. Industry in some honest way will keep people out of teMptation of doing wrong. Not only so but it will enable them to be charitably inclined towards those in want.—(Condensed from Matthew Henry).

Many of the rites that they observe would shock good Christian people who would wonder how any good thing could come out of such worship. And yet there are the men. Then again these men ob- serve caste. True they are kindly in its observance and yet the mere fact that they observed it means that they are helping to bolster up the great- est curse of India's life, the steady foe to all progress, the constant basis of political and religious dis- cord. Surely they need Christ in all the fulness of His love. These are the spirits, writes Dr. Cock, that we covet for the Father's House of Light. We rejoice in the power of God to grant repentance unto men who have lived lives of vice and wick- edness; but we would fain lay at His feet the lives that are truly beautiful in the apartness from flagrant tran- sgression—men and women who do have sin and yearn for holiness. We thank God that some such come into fellowship with the Master but there are many in India to -day whom one would expect to love Him as soon as they heard of Him and leaning all follow Him. But they have not as yet. How would you go about the task of leading such men to their Lord and ours? It is not a new problem anyway for Marcus Aurelius bitterly persecuted t h e Christians of his day the while he wrote thoughts that even to -day we find most helpful. He should have belonged to Christ if anyone should. Why didn't he? MIER ]Rill Roll] Galvanized roofing shields propmrtcy r e ligh and firs. Wooden roeib are ea®y prey.

To the naituae lover it does not much matter whe- ther a charming view is ruined by a text from the Bible or a slogan from some high-priced advertising ex- pert. To the man who is trying to sleep it is a matter of little import- ance whether he is kept awake by the jazzing of a cocktail party or the braying of a Salvation Army band. For a good many years newspapers have protested against the desecra- tion of natural scenery by hill board advertisements. Sometimes they have not been wholly disinterested, and they have 'been accused or trying to do in a rival under the cloak of aestheticism. But whatever their mo- tives they have been able to make out a good case, and have enlisted as supporters of their contention most artists and lovers of nature. In late years they have had a much broader basis of enlistment. The motor car has made travellers out of millions who previously knew nothing of the country beyond their immediate neighborhood or knew it only from glimpses from a train] window on their occasional trips abroad. These travellers, not unnaturally, have tak- en note of the scenery on their way from one town to another, and when they have found it obliterated or dis- figured by .advertising signs they have protested. In the United States indeed, there • is an association of con- sumers pledged to •boycobt the pro- ducts of advertisers who have chosen beauty spots along a highway to call attention to their wares. National advertisers who make a study of the public mood now take care in their outdoor advertising that they do not offend the sense of pro- priety and decency which has been revolted by Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon and other famous places bee ing desecrated by invitations to buy somebody's liver pills or hair tonic. In the Yellowstone park, for instance the officials not only forbid advertis- ing but have followed vandals who used rocks to call attention to some produot and made them come back to remove their paint. We are strong- ly in favor of equally drastic mea- sures being taken to prevent public highways in Ontario and the public domain through which they run be- ing disfigured by bill boards and agents of advertisers who deface even the ancient rocks. If there is not a law forbidding such obnoxious prac- tises there should be one. 7[f. there is a law it is not enforced, and the responsible minister should see that this negligence is corrected. A member of The Mail and Empire staff who recently travelled over the Ferguson highway from Toronto to Temagami brings back a gruesome re- port of what he saw. He says that hotels, garages and missionaries are the worst offenders. The fdrmer call attention to accommodation which they are prepared to supply on the spot. The last hint darkly at oeeom- modatign in the world beyond. "Where will you slpend eternity?" is an uncomfortable question ad- dressed to travellers whose minds are perhaps occupied with the ques- tion of where they will spend the night. These signs, we are assured, are as common along the road as out- croppings of low-grade iron. North of Huntsville on the face of a rock cliff 100 feet above the road there is a proclamation to the effect that Christ died to save the ungodly. To make this point, an artist probably risked his life swinging from a rope hitched to trees above. One Bracebridge garage has signs at mile and even half mile intervals over a stretch of 40 miles. On the side of the road even the golf clubs from which one might expect some dignity and reticence, have plastered signs to draw the old green fee from the tourist. Through the Temagami reserve signs of all kinds are barred. There are not even hot dog stands. Simple name plates mark e= ch lake and river. But the evangelical sign painters have fore•:•! their 'w through and their ominous warnings about eternity deface some of the finest scenery in all the north. They hams tried to make their admonitions as permanent as possible for they have painted them on the rock. Titers are indications that forest rangers have tried to olllitere thus by smearing' them over with neutral eel- ored mire. From North Bay to Saazlt Ste.

If this grand old formula of a well known physician brings you the swift and satisfying comfort it has brought to dozens of others, you surely will be thankful and very well pleased. If it does not satisfy, the druggist that supplied you with "Uratabs" is auth- orized to return your money on the first box purchased. This gives you a full 10 days' test of "Uratabs" with- out risk of cost unless pleased with results. If you would know the joys of peaceful, restful sleep and a norm- al, healthy Bladder, start this test to- day. Any good druggist can supply you. ZURIICIE Council Meeting. — The regular monthly meeting of the council of the Township of Hay was held in the Town Hall, Zurich, on Monday, Octo- ber 7th. All the members were pres- ent. The minutes of the previous meeting were adopted as read. After dealing with various communications the Following resolutions were pass- ed: That By-law No. 13, 1929, fixing the rates to be levied and collected on the rateable property of the town- ship for 1929 be read three times and finally passed. That a grant of $15 be made to the South Huron Plow- man's Association. That the petition of Amos Wildfong and others asking for the improvement of the McDonald Drain between the Black Creek and the railway crossing be received and that J. Roger, O.L.S•, be appointed as engineer under the Municipal iI rain - age Act and that he be authorized to make a survey and report of the area affected.

Given a piece of cloth to cut out he returns even the smallest scraps af- ter his work is done. Having taught the boys in the school sewing he turns up every Christmas with a great box of candy to be distributed to them and the other Christian child- ren. Honest, earnest, a good man.
