He does h’ot really look into a crystal ball but he reads the future nevertheless and he sees new cities yet unbuilt. He is important in the tele­ phone business. He judges the future from the facts of the present and it is his job to judge with accuracy. He must judge with accuracy because, in a telephone system, plans must be made for yc- rs ahead and millions of dollars are involved. With a railway there must be tracks and sta­ tions before trains can run. With a telephone system there must be conduits and central exchanges before telephones can go in. To wait until people are clamoring for tele­ phones is too late. THE BUSINESS PROPHET does not wait. He comes to the management with his charts and graphs and figures and says: “In 1950 the demand in Ontario will be 80,0C0 new telephones. They will be wanted here and here and here.” Or he says: “Within the next five years the Province of Quebec will need at least forty per cent more exchange capacity.” And the management does not wait either. They know it is up to them to prepare now. If they don’t they will be falling down on their job; they will not be keeping pace with the country. Because the business prophet spoke in time and the management acted promptly there are 139,000 telephones being installed in Ontario apd Quebec this year. Without them there would be inconvenience and confusion now in thousands of new homes and offices. Next year the business outlook calls for spend­ ing over twenty-seven million dollars to extend and renew the system and plans have been made to do so. For the next five years the telephone expan­ sion definitely known to be needed in the two provinces means over one hundred million dollars. FINDING THE MONEY is a problem. It is as great a problem as the complications of engineering and organization. Every year as the country grows there must be new money ready so that the telephone system may keep pace. Every year thus far the money has been ready because the policy of the telephone system has been fortunate in attracting the support of conservative and reliable investors who have not been subject to the influence of market fluctuations. THAT IS HOW the business prophet and his graphs have been made effective. And that is why the telephone man­ agement has always met Cana­ dian progress with confidence and enthusiasm. 1 s Z*v Published by Thr.

Golden Text Rejoice evermore. Pray without eeasing, in everything give thanks. (1 Thes. 5:16-18.) The prayers of Paul open up one of the most wonderful treasure houses of Scripture that we can pos­ sibly study. They cannot be ex­ hausted in a single lesson; the five prayers chosen for this study by no means cover all that the New Testa­ ment tells of the great apostle’s prayers. How much did Paul pray? How often did he pray? The question might make an interesting class dis­ cussion. ♦ Spurgeon was once asked how often he prayed. After think­ ing a moment he said that he did not believe that more than twenty minutes elapsed at any time during his waking hours that he was not consciously talking with God. If Spurgeon could say that, what might Paul have said! We know that Paul commanded, by inspiration, ’’Pray without ceas­ ing.” And Paul did not preach be­ yond his experience. His life, after he came to know and love and serve the Lord, must have been peculiar­ ly a life oi' ceaseless prayer. And yet this same apostle wrote, by inspiration: “We know not what wo should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh ‘ inter­ cession for us with groaning® which cannot be uttered,” (Rom. 8:26.) So Paul recognized limitations of his own prayers, while he rejoiced in such a prayer life as perhaps l’ew other Christians have ever kagwn. He loved to pray for others. As he left certain of his Christian friends for the last time on earth, “he kneeled down and prayed with them all. And they’all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him.” (Acts 20:36-37.) What a prayer of loving fellowship that, must have been! Let us never for­ get there are blessings in private prayer that cannot be had in fel­ lowship prayer. The normal Chris­ tian life needs prayers of both kinds. There must have been prayers that the apostle offered, over and over again, that were too personal, too intimate, too sacredly between him­ self alone and God, even to be re­ corded in the inspired Scriptures. His praying included thanksgiv­ ing, probably always, for he writes: “In everything by prayer and sup­ plication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” (Phil. 4:6.) And to his Christian friends at Rome he writes: “I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all.” Paul practiced importunate pray­ er. even as the Lord commanded, “that men ought' always to pray, and not to faint.’’ (Luke 18:1.) For Paul called on God us his witness “that without ceasging I make men­ tion of you always in my prayers.” His prayers at the end of the first chapter of Ephesians is one of the most remarkable in all the Scrip­ tures. Again his thanksgiving is mentioned; then he goes on in a prayer 'that every child of God may take to himself, pleading with God foi* the answer of his own life. It is a prayer that Christians' may be given such wisdom and revelation in knowing God that light may shine in upon their understanding, so they may know the hope of their calling and the riches of the glory of God’s inheritance in them; and then the exceeding greatness of God’s power toward those who believe, which is actually the working of that same mighty power which God wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and set Him on His throne in Heaven. This is the power that God wants us to .experience in our daily lives; Paul’s prayer in behalf of us all is the prayer that we as (Tiistians ought to offer for our fel­ low Christians that they may under­ stand all this. If we should all pray through in this matter, what a mighty revival would break out in the. body of Christ throughout the world! Then at the end of Ephesians 3, comes a prayer that is, if anything, greater than the one we have just studied. It is a prayer for a mir­ acle experience in Christians’ lives; that the Lord Jesus Christ may be on the throne of their hearts, so that they, with all believers, may know that which is beyond know­ ledge, comprehending the breadth, and length, and depth, and height of the love of Christ. The purpose and climax of this is that they “might be filled with all the fulness of God.” It is a bold and daring prayer, but it is from the Holy Spirit. Then, as though Paul were commenting on the fact that he had asked a great thing, he goes on 4o something infefinitely greater, as he praises “Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” The lesson of this prayer is that God wants us to seek Him for the utterniost in spiritual blessing that we can conceive; and then He wants us to praise Him that He is able to do far beyond this. In the last of the five prayers of this lesson Paul writes to his Thes- solanians Christian friends not only that he makes mention of them in his prayers, but that he remembers without ceasing their work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Sup­ pose we prayed for all our Chris­ tian friends in that way. When we are tempted to criticize them, or get in Christ. Is it not possible that impatient with tthem, suppose we begin to pray for them, with- thanks­ giving, bringing before God in pray­ er their work of faith, their labor of love, and their patience of hope both their lives and our own might be so greatly changed for the better that people would begin to wonder what was happening? Surely this is a good way to pray for revival. Serious Bowel Condition Relieved by ‘‘Fruit- a- lives9 9 MR. PAGE Mr. James Page of Cabano, P.Q., was in a very dangerous condition. The Constipation from which he had suffered for five years was undermining his whole system. It was not only ruining his digestion and poisoning his blood, but had also brought on painful piles. Various treatments failed to help him until he tried “Fruit-a-tives,” made of intensified fruit juices com­ bined with scientific medicinal ingredi­ ents. “One box of this wonderful medicine,” he writes, “gave me complete relief. ‘Fruit-a-tivcs’ gives results as nothing else does, and I fincerely recommend it to every suf­ ferer.” Try this great medicine. 25c. and 50c. a box—at dealers every­ where Joe spends a good deal< of time making' "model ships." Ah, an old tar, you say. Wrong. Joe was u sol­ dier, and ho isn’t very old at all—■ about 80. But there 1b something; rather serious the matter with him. When he was at the front he wa» wounded twice, seriously too. "Oftent a fellow seems to get over a wound, but later on In life It seems to com®- back on him," says Joe. Ills experi­ ence was that when he took a job h& became too weak to hold it, seemed to get worse and had pains in th® chest After a while the doctor said It was consumption. Joe Is now at the Toronto Hospital for Consump­ tives, where the kindly doctors and nurses are doing their best to patch up the worn frame and put new life In the wasted lungs. They may suc­ ceed. too, for Joe Is worth saving, and a big fight is being waged to save him. Would you like to help in such work? A subscription from you would be much appreciated.
