methods there cannot be overlooked the
value that is involved in finding the enc

That IS the purpose Of the department

Tense OF that Bozrah Incident.
It is apparent that the Congregation
alists Of Bozrah are behind the age and
have not learned what Is the proper
thing III regard to what was once con-
sidered sacred. but IL now no longer SO.
Bozrah should be informed that Nor
witch Congregationalists have set apart
their oldest church and their most beau
tiful one, to public entertainment and
amusement. That is fact, one of
their churches gave a Christmas cele-
bration there, in which their young peo-
pie gave a very pretty hoop dance
whatever that may be. Had II been
spelled with W we might have con-
Guided that It had relation to the abo-
rhymes of this locality. Not being pres
ent, and having only the bare Bulle-
| tin notice of the event, we Judge, that
| it was no more religious than the dance
of the Jewish young people at Bozrah.
| Bozrah folk must realize-sooner or
| later-that this Is a new age in which
we live. That sin and deprayity are
things of the past. They must learn
| that the Protestant churches of Norwich
no longer believe in Original SIM" but
that everyone Is born with a guiding
| spirit, which, if followed, leads up to
the highest and in following this, all
will come out right "in spite of the
devil and all his imps" We only need
| to be quiscent-as We are told In the
paper that "the highest In us. points tc
the highest without us'-that Is, withou
our tffort following the grammatica
construction of the sentenceJ.
1t is good thing Cor the communit,
to have a religious announcement a
this time, SO as to start the New Yea
on a sure and solid basis and 1t will
be well for Bozrah to study this thee

the small, plump hand, or the hand
which is shapeless from fat.
1t has a thick, hard palm. The
thumb is short and blunt The fingers
likewise, are short, thick and blunt.
1t is a compact, stiff sort of hand which
seems built to stand rough usage, but
it Is awkward and clumsy.
This hand indicates an elementary
type Of nature. 1t denotes the person
in whom instincts are strong, and
to whom concise, definite thinking
comes very hard. Failure to get ahead
in the world seldom bothers these
people. They are content to follow
along in the grooves in which they find
themselves. You'll never get much out
of them by appealing to their ambit-
ion. Often they have violent tempers,
but while generally hardy and patient
they are rarely capable of courage that
endures.
