pie have dropped the habit of going
to church in great numbers. Just
where the fault is we cannot say.
However, an inaptitude in rising On
Sunday morning, household cares,

great ado about the movement and

PSALM I.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor stitch in the seat of the
scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the I ord; and in his law doth he
mediate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that
blingeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shaH1not wither
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so; but ire like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sin
ners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of
the ungodly shall perish.

The Republican feels qualification the adoption by the state commission of the Somers system of valuation of town property for purposes of taxation.
