Culture club last Monday evening, Rev.
Atkins gave brief talk on the modern
novel. Mr.. Atkins is impressed neither
with the sincerity nor the artistic mer-

rather in the naughtiness O. it's por-

Early symptoms Of the disease are
sluggishness and a tendency TO lie

difficulty, walk with staggering

animals become postrate and move
