cleft Of the rock, illustrative of the
thought Of safety The dove is also a
symbol of the Holy Spirit, as in the case
when Jesus was baptized. A very neip-
full significance is attached to the eagle.
as in Isaiah 40: 81, But they that wait
upon the Lord shall renew their strength !;
they shall mount up with wings as
eagles they shall run and be weary, and
they shall walk and not faint" The
thought deduced from the passage was
that of strength, intelligence and power
In spiritual things. Another passage IN
which the eagle was one showing her low
ing care Of her young. and naturally this
makes US think of Gods wondrous care
for US, His children.
The study was interesting to all pres
ent. and the interest in the class is sucf
as to justify the continuance for severa

To Have Wavy Hair
Like Natures Own

Here's a brand new recipe of un-
questioned merit that you should make
note of. unless you are one of the rev
possessors OF naturally wavy hair. It's
very simple. for all you need do is to
apply little liquid silmerine before
doing up the hair-with a clean tooth
brush-and in three hours you will find
this has dried in the sweetest curls
and waves imaginable. They will be
just like Natures own" having no re-
hot iron. which is so obviously arti-
fetal.
The application is really beneficial
to the hair and gives It that lively lus-
tire so much desired. AS il is so easy to
obtain a few ounces of the liquid sill
merine from your druggist-sufhcient
to keep the hair curly for many weeks
there's no reason now for putting ur
with either that straight, contrary hall
or with the curling iron nuisance.

record he had kept since the enumera-
tors turned in their lists to him when
the census was taken at the first of the
year. He had made it one more person
on both the city and the town counts.
Mr.. Gebrath pointed out that the city
of Norwich had annexed the Sunnyside
Laurel Hill district, during the last ten
years and that this census of that dis
trict showed Ala names, which would
make the city's gain in population 1928
| counting the same territorial limits as
| ten years ago.
| Predictions had been made that the
| 1920 census would give Norwich a popu
lation Of from 10000 to $4,000 and one
optimistic Norwich resident had put The
| figure at 10000 but thess figures are no
