REASON OR REVELATION
 MAKES SPEAKERS TOPIC


 A pleasant and profitable rally for men was hold at the Norwich Y. M c. A. building Sunday afternoon at o'clock. After the singing of several popular hymns accompanied by Robert W. Otis 'and c. A. Parker on piano and cornet, an intensely interesting address was de- .livered by Rev George H. Strouse. who announced as his topic Reason or Reve- lation. The speaker said in part: The Bible is a most wonderful old book the pity of it is that so many people seem to have no interest in it, but there will come a time when they will wish they In the book of Acts there is a, very in. teresting account of a storm at sea ; before the storm appeared Paul, pris- oner on board told the captain that he had better put into the harbor that a severe storm was approaching, but the captain thought he knew better, and he said, there is no sign of. storm, we will continue the voyage. The captain thought he knew his reason told him there was no storm coming, but Paul, the prisoner was a prophet, and, he be- lieved in revelation. The captain ig- nored PauIs advice and finally the storm came and the ship was completely wrecked We are all following some one We are all being led ;are you fol- lowing reason or revelation? Germany had great men who reasoned, but they had no prophets; they followed reason instead of revelation. and Germany has become almost wreck; this will always be the result of nations or individuals who ignore revelation and follow only reason.

Patients Name on Liquor Bottle.

Additional control will be exercised over the distribution of liquor as dispensed by druggists for medicinal purposes. Julius C. Stremlau, prohibition director for Con- necticut, announces, notices having been sent out to all druggists holding permits 10 fill liquor prescriptions, requiring them to write on the bottle the firms name, the prescribing physicians name and the pa- tients name for whom the prescription is filled. From this it follows that if any person carries on his person or has in his possession any liquor, ostensibly or actu- ally for medicinal purposes, he has ob- tained it illegally and is subject to prose- cution as well as the firm distributing it..
 If any person should transfer the liquor from container. into another an identical label must be placed upon the new con- tainer.
