 ON SENSES OF MAN.
There Are Wonders All Around Us to
 the Senses That Appreciate.


 For their November meeting Trinity Methodist Brotherhood had an attend ance of about thirty men on Monday evening at o'clock in the primary room at the church, the session open ing with a brief business meeting at which President Elmer D. Kinsman was in the chair Franklin Rumford was elected vice president in the place of K. F. Morrison, who left the city to locate in business in Albany, N. 4-
 President Kinsman then introduced Principal H. A. Tirrell of the Norwich Free Academy, who gave the members an instructive talk which was listened to with close attention upon The Senses of Man. While man is ordi- narily credited with five senses. MT. Tirrell summed these all up in the sense of appreciation, the power to take hold of the things around us To the senses that appreciate there are wonders all around us. for if we take hold of anything and study it enough We are bound to get something out of it The pyramids of Egypt have been called one of the wonders of the world. but they are no more wonderful than the things around us every day. Com pare them, for instance, with the thir- teenth amendment to the constitution Of the United States. Which repre- sents more of an outlay in money, into which was more of the soul of man put, or which measures more of the progress of the human race2
 Illustrating again how the power of appreciation applied tD The common things around us would draw from them countless lessons and stimulus to thought, he said that even such Sifple thing as a book was one of the most wonderful things around us. whether we consider it's form. the mechanism which has produced fl, or what is in it. He proceeded to show low from the first records kept on clay "a bIafc he nf had proceeded down through the single roll of papyTus. then the double roll. then to the writing on both sides. next to the pages folded into pIeats. and somebody thought of cutting the pleats. The development from handwriting 10 the present type was also briefly sketched and likewise the discovery of producing paper che4p. But after all i. is not the physical side of the book tfat is the wonderful thing, but what iS in it- IL lensthens the life Of every great thinker to ages beyond his life time The wonderful is all about YOU if you can only trace 1t out. and the book is q marvellous thing when you read into 1t what it has meant in the way Of progress.
 He indicated also briefly something of the immensities of the universe in V ilich the earth and man is sirh small thing and vet through his power of appreciation comes 10 S feeling that he is akin to all that is behind this great universe. We can enter into the universe of appreciation. and yet the only thing that is worth while after all. whether we drive a four-in- hand or q push cart. is whether we can make the world better or worse
 Principal Tirrell was given an en- tEusiastic burst of applause as he con- cirded his talk and, short social pe- riod followed in which pie and cocoa were served.
