VARIATIONS—Adam, Adamson, Addi- son, Atkins, Atkinson, Adkins, Ad. kinson, Adie, Edie, MacAdam, Mac- Adie, MacKeggle, Ayson, Esson. RACIAL ORIGIN—English and Scot- tish. SOURCE—A given name. The family name of Adams is, of course, a shortened form of Adamson, or “Adam’s sen.” This surname, together with the many variations which have. been formed from the medieval diminu- tives of the given name, is unusually widespread, because the given name itself was far more common in the middle ages than it Is today. The medieval English were a sturdy, simple folk, comparatively few of whom could read, and so they lacked the modern facilities to search through the Scriptures for names for their children that the modern ability to read, coupled with the develop- ment of printing, would have given them. There was little incentive to learn to read, since books could be prodyced only by handwriting and were excessively expensive. Hence they got their knowledge of the Scriptures by word of mouth, and naturally the names which stuck in their memories were those connect- ed with the most dramatic passages. Naturally the story of the creation was among the most prominent, which explains why the name of Eve as well as Adam was so popular. “Adcock” was a diminutive of the given name. It became a family name, as “Adcockson,” and was final- ly shortened again to Adcock. *“Ad” and “Adkin” or “Atkin” were also forms of the given name, to Addison, Adkins, Adkinson, Af kins and Atkinson. The Scottish or Celtic form-of the given name was “Adhamh.” A sept of the Clan Gordon bears this name, tracing it to Adam de Gordon, An- glo-Norman founder of the clan in the twelfth century. MacAdam is a sept name in the Clan MacGregor: THe Clan Aid, or MacAdie, is a ranch of Fergusons. _Adamson, Ayson, Esson and Mac- Keggie, all of which are said to be derived from the given name of Adam, are septs of the Clan Mackin- osh.

Secret of Confidence. 1 can do all things in Him that strengtheneth me.—Phil. 4:13. That is the secret of strength; to know the Divine power and to use it. The man who does not use it can- not really know it. The Christian who says, ‘I know the power of God, and I am trusting in that to save me, and sustain me, and make me useful, and bring me to heaven,” and yet makes no real effort to be good or to do good, Is like a man sitting on the bank of a mighty river, and casting chips upon its sweeping tide. and saying: “This river is able to bear me to my Journey’ What you need to do is to push your boat out into the current, and feel its resistless force, and move onward with it. Then you will know the power that now you only know about. Is there any reason why our lives should be feeble and stagnant and worthless? > Is there any reason why we should not overcome temptation and endure trial, and work the works of God in the world. and come at last to the height of His abode in heaven? Only one—that we do not know | Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that Iworketh in us. Lay hold on Him by faith and all things are possible. Let us clasp the hand of Christ and climb; and as we climb He will Jift us out of sin, out of selfishness. out of weakness, out of death, into holiness, into love, into strength, into life, and we shall know the power of His resurrection.

There are three conditions for which one should gtrive, and one's exercises, accordingly, should be chosen to these ends. Corrective | movements of the right kind are necessary in straightening the spine. and stretching exercises are espe- cially important in this connection. | Stretching, bending and spine-twist- | ing exercises are all valuable, not only in straightening the spine. but in giving it that quality of elasticity and flexibility which is characteristic of_youth. | Hore Is an exercise for flexibility of | the upper spine, useless unless per- formed very thoroughly. First bring the head far forward, the chin touch- 1 ing the chest if possible, then far back, looking straight upward. Re- peat all these exercises a few times, or until silghtly tired. It through bad posture there is a continuous or unnatural strain upon cortain parts of the spine, it will be- come_habitually bent, the ligaments will become weakened, the cartilages flattened at one side in the adaptation to the chronic faulty position, and one will have deformity of the back- bone as a whole Here 18 an _exercise for upper spinal flexibility: Turn the head around, first far to the ome side, then to the | other, though without strain. bring the head both downward and to one side. Bring to the jeft side, | then to the right side. then diagonally | backward to each side. l There are many cuses of seriously displaced vertebrae and spinal de- formity which will need not only ex. ercise, but also special adjustment by some ome skilled in such work, such as an osteopath or chiropractor. One who possesses a normal spine, how- ever, can keep it normal by the proper exercise, and even where there are marked tendencies to spinal cur- ure and displacement of vertebrae many of the simple spine-stretching, spine-bending and spine-twisting ex- ercises will have great. corrective value. . Here is & simple stretching exercise which may be performed first with both hands together then with eacl hand separately. Stretch one arm a high upward as possible and stretch downward with the other arm.
