Is there anything in a nanii? It
sfcmi to be a matter of opinion.
Some people believe that certain
names are meaningful and that other
names are meaningless.
It was custom years ago to go
o the Bible for names to be con
urred upon the' children of . men.
1 Xowadaya it frequently happens that
.lie movie ads are scanned for a
ame to give the last born or the'
ii st born, whichever it may be.
In the olden days the pater fa
'lilias reverently took town the fam
ly Bible and inscribed therein the
isnie of Joseph, James or John, or
Abe!, Abraham, Adam, Absalom,
I'nnl. Daniel. David. Peter. Mark.
Timothy, Immanuel, Isaiah, Isaac,"'
lacob, Jeremiah, Job4 Noah, Philip,
Saul, Samuel, Simon, Zachariah,
Thomas of Solomon."
Scan the list of names of great
men and it will be noted that many
were given, their baptismal names
for Bible characters. There i were
Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Tilden.
Tohn Paul Jones, Paul, Revere, Noah
weDSier, uaniei vcusio. v
Now It's the Movies. 9
In other days, if the proud pare

to do it in a hurry or there's trouble.
