Permanent CoIors,

Ancient Egyptians had a marvellous knowledge of colOrs, and they under. stood fully what cOlors would last. In the Egyptian papyri the ground col ors are as good as ever they were. The Egyptians worked their outlines in lampback, used clay for their whites, ferruginous earths for their reds, ochres for their yellows, and for green they used perhaps green jasper or mixed blue carbonate or copper with ochre. All these colors are per- manent.

CANrIELD INN WILL
 BE CLOSED AGAIN
John P. Cudney Also Disposes of His Laundry
 Business

The Canfield Inn will be closed again this week unless parties who have been looking at the property with the view of buying or leasing It open it directly after January lst. John P. Cudney who has been run ming the hotel expects to close 1t on January 1st, though his lease does not expire for several months.
 The hotel, which is one of the best to be found in this size town any where in the state, has changed hands several times since Frank Baker, an acknowledged hotel man, gave 1t up about two years ago. Some claim the lack of success is due to prohibition while others say lack of good management. MT. Cudney says one should own coal mine to heat it economically in the winter, or words to that effect.
 However, be the cause what it may, there are still many people who be- lieve that this desirable property could be operated the year round as a frst-class hotel and that 1t would be a paying proposition. Its location and equipment are all that one could desire.
 MT. Cudney Sells Laundry
 MT. Cudney has also disposed of his laundry which he operated up to the time he entered the hotel bIsi- ness. r. P. Demarest of Chatham, N. Y, has purchased the machinery and plant and it is expected will be- gin operation soon. Mir. Cudney will move to his farm and engage in agriculture.

Miss Buckbee, Enumerator

Mildred Buckbee has received her appointment as census enumerator for this town. As the schedules call for quite full details regarding farm and dairy products, it would help to get more accurate returns and save time if the farmers would go over their years work and get as accurate estimates as possible of their various crops before the enumerator's visit.

FEDERATED CHURCHES
 HAVE WEEK OF PRAYER
Throughout Connecticut From January Fourth to
 Eleventh

In accordance with an established
 custom, the week of January 4-11
 1920 has been set aside by the
 churches of America as a Week of
 Prayer. At the annual meeting of
 the Council of the Connecticut Fed
 cration of Churches, of which Dr.
 William North Rice of Middletown is
 president, held in Hartford, Nov
 17th, 1919, the Federation voted to
 cooperate with the Inter-church
 World Movement in urging upon the
 pastors and churches of Connecticut the need existing at this time for a united call to prayer of the Christian forces of America.
 The topics suggested by the In- terchurch World Movement and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America are: General Top ic: An Awakened Church. Sunday, Jan. 1, The Church, Awakened by her Opportunities; Monday, Jan. 5, The Church, Awakened by National Self-EXamination; Tuesday, Jan. 6, The Church, Awakened by a Vision of the Worlds Need; Wednesday, Jan. ', The Church, Awakened by the New Call for Cooperation; Thurs day, Jan. 8, The Church, Awakened byga Revival of Family Religion Friday, Jan. 9, The Church, Awaken ed by the Call for Workers; Sunday, Jan. Il, The Church. Awakened by '. Rebiscovery of the Reality and Pow CT ef Prayer.
 4he great determinations plan Q concerted effort in evangelism cul- r1iLating at the Easter season. This plan is to take the form of personal efforts on the part cf lay members in the churches to win to the Christian forces and to membership in the churches large r2m6ers of people Tsho owe allegiance to these churches, but, for some reason or other, are rot counted within their member ship.
 @actically all of the great religi- o-G denominations in this country hcve undertaken a careful survey Of .iso special tasks assigned to them in adequate after-the-war programs and have gone before their constituen- cieS with requests for large sums of nloHey and also for thousands of re- cruits for the work of the Christian ministry for the work of missions at home and abroad. Conspicuous these movements are the Centenary Movement of the Metho dist Episcopal Churches, North and South, the New Era Movement of the Presbyterian Churches of North America, the New World Movement of the Northern Baptist Convention, the Nation Wide Campaign of the Church and the Congrega- tional World Movement.
 A great deal of preliminary work, has been done by the leaders in for this task, which to be the greatest under taking Of American Protestantism. In order that due emphasis may be placed upon the essentials, it has been leemed wise to lay great stress upon he spiritual resources in concerto l 1 -rayer by the churches. Following he special periods of conference md training, which have been held throughout the country, the Inter- .hurch World Movement now seeks O bring all of the forces of its con. tituency together in the first great l objective of the Movement, United | Prayer.
