Something Like 300 Varieties iti the
World—Pinic Berries Found Only
on Cedar Trees.
There are about 300 kinds of mistle
toe in the world, and each variety
crows on tlie branches of trees and
has little white or pink berries, says
St Nicholas. But the pink berries
are found on only the cedar trees. The
mistletoe, unlike other plants, gets no
food directly from the ground. In
stead, it gets its, nourishment from the
trees on w'hlch it grows.
Another curious thing about the mis
tletoe is that though it blossoms earl
ier in the year than the tree on which
It grows, yet the little berries do not
ripen before December. Maybe that
Is because it has to steal its food from
ttie trees, and therefore cannot ripen
•arly. The very name “mistletoe"
gives some idea of its insignific^ce.
fn the Anglo Saxon language “mist"
neans gloom, and it comes In mid-win
ter, the gloomiest time of the year.
The gathering of mistletoe was a
▼ery important ceremony among the
ancient Druids. About live days after
ttie new moon they marched in states
iy procession to the forest and raised
4U1 altar of straw beneath the finest
aiistietoe-bearlng oak they could fii|d.
The arch-Druid would ascend the oak,
and, with a Jeweled knife, remove the
aacred mistletoe. The others stood be-
aeath the tree and caught ttie plant
«pon a white cloth, for, if a portion
It touched the earth, it was an omen
•C misfortune to the land.
And this Is doubtless the reason whj
"U Is still the custom to hang It from
'tiM celllpc and why It Is suM>OMd to
iwe Its charm if it touchas the flow;
j Rev. S. S. Hammond was called to
his reward on Nov. 26, 1919 at 10
p. m. age 69 years, 10 months. God
spoke and in five minutes his spirit
was wafted to the mansions above
prepared- for those who hold out
faithful unto the end. He spoke many
times of his expected departure and
hope of meeting loved bnes gone be
fore.
In 1881 he was married to Julia
Martin. To this union eight children
were born—five proceeding him to the
mansions above. He was the son of
Rev. John Hammond of Lexington
County, S. C. and was bom on Jan.
26, 1850. In the year of 1866 he was
regenerated by the Spirit of God. He
joine dthe Antioch Baptist church and
was baptised by Rev. W. W. Brooker.
In the year of 1886 he was ordained
deacon and served the church faith
fully in that capacity a number of
years. He taught school for eight
years. Was also in the l^nday^acluM)!
work and teaching singing claims all
the while engaged trying to forward
the good cause. In the year of 1897
9ie fully subi^itted to the Divine call
of God to preach the gospel. He re
joiced in warning sinners to flee the
wrath to come and he preached in
many places receiving souls for his
hire and wt believe he has gone to
his reward where he will have stars
in his crown that will never fade
away.
