NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.

Ramn Manual of the Child That Does

There Is born with every one Of us
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicable
mark or marks, which absolutely dis

never change from the cradle to the
grave. This born autograph is impos-
sible to counterfeit, and there is no du-
piIcate of 1t among the teeming blllows
In the world. Look at the insides or
your hands and the soles Of your feet;
closely examine the ends Of your fin
gers. You see circles and curves and
arches and whorls, some prominent with
deep corrugations, others minute and
delicate, but all well defined and
closely traced pattern. There Is your
physiological signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger tips ON a piece of clear
glass. You see all the delicate tracing
transferred mot two fingers alike. Even
..the left hand knoweth not what the
right hand doeth.' They are distinctly
different. Even twins may be SO little
different in size, features and genera
physical condition as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable, yet their finger auto

In fact, in all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers

HAYsTACK MONUMENT.
Marks birthplace of Foreign MISSION
Work In This Country.


Many a visitor to Williams college is
taken to the birthplace of American
foreign missions, matked by a unique
monument in little park near the col
lege grounds.
: For once in the history of the world
prayer meeting is commemorated by
monument. In Mission park in VIII
Jamestown stands Il shaft which was
dedicated on Sunday July %, 1867, 10
the memory of five students Of VIII
llams college who met at the close OF
one sultry summer day in the year
1906 to hold prayer meeting, as was
their custom. They were Overtaken by
q sudden shower of rain and were COM
PEELED to seek the friendly shelter af-
forded them by a neighboring hay
stack.
The group of young eyangelists who
were present at the prayer meeting on
that particular occasion consisted or
Samuel ]. Mills, James Richards, Fran
els L. Robbins, Harvey Loomis and
Byram Green.
Sheltered from the rain by the hay
stack, they continued amid the conflict
Of the elements their devotional eXer-
cises and discussed religious topics OF
deep interest to themselves. While the
storm ragged Mills communicated to his
fellows the plan Of executing a great
life work. 1t was nothing less than a
mission to some heather land and the
ultimate evangelization Of the world.
They communicated their plan to
such of their fellow students as they
believed would sympathize with them
and organized the Society Of Brethren,
a secret society, which had for its OBJ
1ect the establishment of foreign mis-
sions.
The result Of the prayer meeting was
, the organization in Bradford Mass, in
1910 Of the American board Of COM
=, missioners for foreign missions. From
this start grew the great society of the
, American board, which has distributed
a millions of dollars. Since the first
