D., a. member of the Central Labor Union of Brooklyn and assistant superinten- dent of the department of Church and Labor of the Presbyterian church, will talk to workingmen on the topic jesus Christ.

 MT Wilson has been working among the poor and the people of the working class in New York city for the past ten years and the results of his work have attracted the attention of social workers throughout the country.

 The Central Labor Union. of Brook lyn, in which MT. Wilson has served four years as delegate, has made the following endorsement of him:
 AS your Alma Mater in the Labor question, the Central Labor Union naturally feels a pride in your promo tion to a position of wider usefulness. You have not only sincerity and sym pathy to equip you for your work, but experience, knowledge, and under standing in the Trades UniOnS.''

 There will be a ''Drop-In'' Bible class at , D. m., directly after the meeting, to which everyone is welcome. The association building will be open at 2:30 D. m.

THE WORD "ANkLE."
lts Root Shown In Many Words Of
Many Different Tongues.


Ne are not likely to think that
"ankle" and anchor are closely
related, but etymoIogically they are
full sisters, having had the same
mother, and that mother has
large family of daughters, who are
to be found in all of the branches
of the Aryan tongue. And neither
"anchor" nor ''ankle" has any rela-
ton to its uses, but entirely to its
form.
This mother of the two words
was born at least hundred cen
turies ago in some place likely not
far from the north shore of the
Caspian sea, when the roots of the
Aryan language were planted and
began to put forth shoots. When
that people began to lay the foun-
dations of dozen tongues they
found a little word the sound of
which we express by "ank," and
they applied it to what was bent
from a straight line or what we call
an angle.
So it is that we use that little
root in most of our words that i'm
ply what is bent or curved. The
ankle is at the bend of the foot,
and for that reason we base its
name on the old root "ank." With
"anchor" we do the same thing be-
cause its arms are bent at angles
from its shank.
Though our work shook" has
come to us through a different
channel, when we use a hook for
fishing we say that we are Can
Cling" because we use an instru
ment that is made on an angle.
Then we call it an ''angle" for the
reason that our first known ances-
tors said that what was bent was
"ank."
Our more immediate ancestors,
the Anglo-Saxons, made their word
"angel' out of this same root and
applied it to their fishing hooks.
The same word with the same
meaning is in the Danish and Ger
man.
When the Frenchman talks about
an anchor he says "ancre,' and in
Latin it is "ancora," from "ancus,"
which means having a crooked arm.
In the Greek it is "ogkos," mean
ing bend, from which comes Gag
kura." an anchor. From the same
root sank" our Hindoo brothers get
their "anch," which in Sanskrit
meaps bend
This little root shown in many
words of so many different Ian
guages, all pointing far back to
union of tongues, is one of the links
in the chain that leads to the
knowledge of the once sameness
in now widely separated tongues

you that there is no hard feeling on

Quick as flash the young man re-
sponded:
"Please don't. If you must throw
old shoes, borrow them"
"And why not use my own?"
because they are so small we
could never detect them from the

decided then and there that the

cr for any other girl, so she re-
versed her decision, and the cards

The materials of dreams may be

sensations, memories of waking
thoughts and new sensations re-
ceived in sleep, whether from with
out or within. DR.. Gregory men
tions of himself that, having no one
occasion gone to bed with a bottle
of hot water at his feet, he dreamed
of walking up the crater of Mount
Etna and feeling the ground warm
under him. He had at an early
period of his life visited Mount We
suvius and actually felt strong
sensation of warmth in his feet
when walking up the side of the
crater, and he had more recent
ly read Brydone's description of
Mount Etna. On another occasion,
having thrown off the bedclothes in
his sleep, he dreamed of spending
winter at Hudson bay and of
suffering distress from the intense
frost. He had been reading few
days. before very particular ac-
count of the weather in that region
during winter.---CasselPs Magazine.
