But the line is not busy. It is really idle. Someone at the other end of the office is wanted and the telephone waits there until he arrives. The idle telephone, with its receiver off the hook, is a common cause of "Line's Busy", and a com- mon cause of uncompleted calls which are wast- ing two million minutes every day in Ontario and Quebec. Other causes of unnecessary "Line's Busy" are inadequate office equipment, long conversations during peak hours, trying to repeat too soon after the "busy" report, and asking an- other to get your party for you. ]Many offices may not need more telephones, but they do need to have their present telephones more conveniently located. You may be losing calls because your line is thus "Busy" but really Idle. And you may be losing business. We want you to have the best possible telephone service and we are making every effort to provide it.° We are ready at any time to survey your telephone equipment and submit a report. °New telephone plant and service improvements will mean an outlay, for .1929 alone, of more than $27,000,000.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 22 Lesson Topic—Malachi Foretells a New Day. Lesson Passage—Malachi 3:1-12. Golden Text—Malachi 3:11. In this passage the coming of tha, Messiah is predicted and the manner and purpose of His coming told. Hu was to come announced by a fore- runner; he was to fulfil a great com- mission. "He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and purge them as gold and silver." By this statement we see that one important truth is assumed, and that is the in- herent preciousness of man. That which is not of more or less value no one will take the pains to purify. The Scriptures nowhere, from the beginning allow you to suppose that they treat man as an insignificant creature. The Saviour constantly keeps man to the front and at the top of all other things. If we were worthless Christ would not sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. He sees the dross and He sees the metal, ani he does not cast away the metal be- cause of the dross from the metal. The great aim and purpose of the Gospel is "He shall purify." This is His will, even our sanctification. Among the agencies employed to this end, one is that of trial as if by fire. It is an unspeakable joy to know that it is under the eye, the hand and the heart, of the Saviour, that the trial takes place. He alone knows the nat- ure of the evil which has to be sep- arated, and He alone knows the kind of trials to send. Christ is here spok- en of not as the Saviour only but as the Judge, as the just judge, as the merciful judge (verses 5, 6). In verse 7-12 we read of God's pleading with His people to return to Him. Instead of doing so the Jews of Malachi's time made answer and tried to argue the matter, they spoke as though they did not understand, as if their conscience did not smite them at all: "Wherein shall we return?" The particular sin for which they are here reproved is their robbing God of His titles. What may justly be called "robbing God"? God re- quires of His subjects homage, ser- vice and obedience and when anything has a stronger power over us ,than His will we are robbing God and fat- ally robbing ourselves. Blessedness is connected with obedience and when we hear His call to repentance, whether it is by spiritual adversity or sore bodily affliction, we should hasten to "prove" Him. The prospect opened up before these.Jews is sum- med up in the words, "All nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land." And what was promised to them is true to -day, na- tionally. and individually. Only that nation, that man is truly blessed whose God is the Lord.—r(Condensed from the Pulpit Bible). WORLD MISSIONS Outside on the verandah are a group of heathen women from the country. They are trying the door, looking in at the windows and calling loudly to each other, about what they can see. I open the door acid they troop in, greeting me noisily in shrill tones and say they have come to see the house. They go from room to room, they finger things, they shout to me and to one another, in their ex- citement and, finally, having seen all they can see they hurry away, hardly giving me a chance to speak; they want to see, not to hear. I have a queer feeling of discouragement as I watch them go, still talking noise- ily. It is our autumn conference. The evening meeting is over and I go to greet the women at the church door. As we leave the church in the dark- ness a little group of Christian wom- en attach themselves to me, talking in quiet happy tones. "Teacher," one of them says, "here is the smooth part, walk here," and my hand is taken and I am made to walk on the smoothest part of the road. They es- cort me to the school and after hesi- tating a moment I invite them tr• come in, saying at the same time that my pupils are all in bed. Instant- ly they thank me and turn to each other. "We must not talk in loud tones, the children are sleeping," they say, and very quietly they enter and seat themselves. We talk to- gether about the conference for a few minutes and then thanking me again they say good -night and quiet- ly go away. I come back into the house with a great feeling of encour- agement—(Incident and Story from China). HARVESTS OF METAL ON FRENCH FARMS Farms around Arras, France, that were battlefields are yielding a har- vest of metal almost as valuable as their harvests of food. Copper, lead and iron, shot by the cannon of all the armies, are gathered by a peace- time army of 5,000 men and women. Other thousands of boys and girls help out family budgets with their daily load of metal. For ten years this has been going on, and it probably will continue an- other five years. Every title a field is plowed or harrowed tnetal conies to the surface. The government, theoretically, ewes all this but con- tractors have bought the right to it. There are creWS of eitpert workers who Spam from ftuia to farm, some- times picking up the metal Qatar:Ayess when ycza .laqSZ hill/ age Quffslllli p MADE. OST CANADA • t1117 AVM 11:.W.

A million pounds of copper and lead were found last year in one depart- ment. Of iron and steel there are seven times as much. The enormous quantity of copper, thousands of tons, consists mostly of empty cartridges, an evidence of the millions and mil- lions of shots fired by the armies that fought over this ground for more than four years. WHEN BABY IS WELL MOTHER IS HAPPY The happy mother is the one whose baby is well --it is the laughing gurgling baby who always brings joy to the .home. When baby is ill everyone in the home suffers—not only through worry over the little one but through loss of sleep—no one can find rest with a sick baby in the home. Thousands of mothers are happy mothers because they have found the way to keep their little ones well—or if sickness does come on suddenly, as it usually does with little ones, they have found the way to speedily bring the baby back to health again. Mrs. George Kech, Lindberg, Alta., is one of these moth- ers and she writes as follows:—"I am the happy mother of a seventeen - month -old baby girl. Baby is healthy and strong and sleeps well at night. I give her no other medicine but Baby's Own Tablets and she just loves them. I am never without the Tab- lets in the house." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels; sweeten the stomach and thus drive out constipation and indi- gestion and make the cutting of teeth easy. They are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. THE WORLD SCOURED BY BRITAIN'S BARNUM The Barnum of Great Britain is a smooth and fashionably -dressed gen- tleman known as Captain Bertram W. Mills. But Captain Mills is like Barnum in one particular only — he fills the big tents. In all other as- pects of character and the circus business the differences in the two men are Quite sharply defined. Barn- um believed in the power to ballyhoo and hokum, and he made the public like it. Captain Mills of England has done away with the old deceptions of the big tops; he says the old ex- travagances and tub-thum.pings of circusdom are a thing of the past. 'Certainly Great Britain's circus king is in a position to let his record speak for itself. His big achievement is the Olympia Circus and Fun Fair, and there is nothing in the world, which includes the United States (the land of hig things) that can touch this British circus event. A visit to the tremendous hall of Olympia when the circus is in full swing, is an ev- ent never to be forgotten.—especially by children. The vast arena is beau• tifully arranged and gorgeously il• laminated, and the high class bill is run off with the smoothness of clock• work. Mr. Mills draws his artists from more than twenty different countries, and the running expenses of his circus amount to the tidy sum D out-] err 'I ®tet lnL act ion 0 Dampness, dust, exposure and excess smoking frequently cause infection of the mouth and throat.

As soon as the big show is done in London, lir. Mills sets out for the continent, vis- iting Germany, France, Austria and Sweden in search of new attractions for his next year's show. Last year. in company with his two sons, who have joined him in his show business, after receiving advanced ed- ucations, he travelled 'more than 25,- 000 miles in his hunt for talent. In the year 1926 he made an unusually wide search, covering 32,000 miles. He has made 31 trips to the United States, one of which was to Missouri to sign up one lone turn that he fan- cied. All this travelling is done at high speed, too, for when the big cir- cus closes in London, in January— there is just time to dash off and give the once-over to the big conti- nental circuses before they break up and scatter to the flour corners of the earth. Mr. Mills sees a hundred or more circuses every year, 'but that means fast travelling by steamer, train and aeroplane. •He has his friends and agents ev- erywhere, of course, and they send him manya useful tip. An Ameri- can woman once tipped him off to the fact that the Austrian state grays, a magnificent team of horses, formerly used at Hapsburg state functions, were being trained for the ring. Mills was dubious, 'but he slipped over to Vienna and found the information was correct. And speaking of horses, which play such an important part in every circus, the celebrated Truzzi horses were picked up and put on the map by Mr. Mills. These horses were trained in a Siberian prison camp by an aristocrat, who wanted to. amuse his fellow exiles. He was such a wizard at the job that he was brought back to Petrograd to train horses for the Russian state circus. Mills heard of him, and after negoti- ating with the Soviet authorities, got Truzzi over to England. But the horses weren't allowed to go with their master, so Mills got busy. It took him two years to get the two horses aver to England, and the freight on them alone cost $1,000. But things like that keep men like Captain Bertram Mills in the circus business.

A FOREST SERMON FROM SCHWARZWALD Do you know the woods of Canada? Have you seen the thick undergrowth, the mossy fallen tree -trunks where the chipmunks sit? Have you tramp- ed through the rustling leaves or the brown pine -needles, the little dead branches cracking under your feet? Have you seen the cottaintails flick- ering through a brush -heap? Beau- tiful! Of course. But there is some- thing finer, more thrilling. I have driven for more than a hundred miles through a forest where there are no fallen tree -trunks, either fresh or mossy, where there are no dead branches on the ground, where a brush -heap is not to be found. TI forest is of spruce; great trees from 12 to 18 inches in diameter, mount- ing over a hundred feet before they thrust their deep, green spearheads into the sky. In every section of this forest the nut�mttber of trees to be cut in any year must root exceed in lumber measurement the amount of normal growth in the whole area, so that the woodland is perpetual. When a tree is felled the small branches are cut into convenient lengths and tied in bundles of faggots for kindling. The larger branches make firewood. From the large logs the bark is stripped and piled in the sun to dry; then it is sold. Even the chips from the woodsman's axe are gathered in neat piles to feed the fires of the poor. Then in the empty place a spruce sap- ling is planted, to grow in peace for a hundred years or more. The Black Forest of southern Ger- many is the greatest thrift exhibition in the world. In the eyes of a Can- adian accustomed to the careless dis- order and waste which our woodlands reveal, the Black Forest is a sermon, broadcast by loudspeakers and call- ing us to repentance it dust and ash- es. Ile is true that Canadian govern- ments and private lumbering firms are seeking to encourage a more careful administration of forest wealth; it is true that the science of forestry is becoming a popular study subject, but we have a long, long way to go before the dark, pillared woodlands clambering up the hills to Titisee and the Feldberg will be matched in this country. Thriftiness in the large cannot be expected when thriftiness in the little is uncommon. Students of economics are continually saying that the •peo- ple of North America are wasteful. The life insurance managers point out how large is the proportion of men who, at the age of 65, are not self- supporting. Yet in North America wage -incomes are ample to permit of systematic money -saving, without re- ducing materially the prevailing stan- dard of living. Folk who have the will to save soon compass the art of it, and so walk comfortably in the world and contribute towards the. prosperity of the country. Business and finance rest upon the aggregate savings of the people; na- tional well-nbeing depends upon the bulk of bank deposits, inanrance pre- miums and invested funds—upon the ' liquid surplus of individual earnings. If the proportion of thrifty people in Canada could be increased materiall if the habit of regular savings could be • stimulated, there would be little danger of another era of hard times. For that reason the le: 'sera in the field of (banking and finance are found strongly in support of The Nue' ph of Ontario, vlvhici, with the Va.e*.oit go o sin eho e30' 10.1A59 valued co-operation of the teachers, affords practical training for school children in the art of saving. The trifle of pennies or dollars which each depositor has accumulated may seem in itself unimportant, but the aggre- gate of deposits is no trifle. It is well over a million dollars. The active interest of parents and teachers in the work that The Penult Bank is seeking to do has made the success of the past, and will brine greater success in the future. Thrift is a habit. If it can be implanted ism the children of this generation, the Canada of 1940 should be a land of great prosperity and greater oppor- tunity. r 'THE knaow nlrng hostess takes advantage of every oppor- tunity to give individuality to her table.
