Presbyterian Notes BY REV. NOR VI N C. DUNCAN In a few days Hallowe'en. And 1 what is Hallowe'en ? It is- the name given to the Eve before All Hallows, or All Saints Day. Hal low Even is shortened to Hal lowe'en. From very early times .the Church commemorated the saints, especially the martyrs, in special services. Certain days were set apart to commemorate certain saints, such as St. Peter, or St. John, or others of the post-Apos-tojic period, such as Polycarp. But there could not be a special day for every saint, so there, was a day set apart to commemorate all the saints, those' faithful Christians, no matter what their station in life, who fought the good fight, and furnished a good example. Ancient Customs Retained But 'naturally the question will arise as to " all the merriment. Why the'i'" and hoggoblins, etc., on the eve of a day so specifically religious? It is a blending of pagan ideas and cus toms with the Christian view of life. As Christianity replaced pag anism it was only natural that some of the pagans' ideas should linger, especially if there were some truth in them as a basis for their existence. For example, the ancient Druids in England believed that on the night of the thirty-first of October the lord of death called together the souls of the wicked, who during the past twelve months had been inhabitatirg animals hence the hobgoblins represented by the Jack O'Lantern. Then the Romans had a feast at this time, and nuts and apples were used, so here comes in the game of bobbing for apples, and the custom of roast ing nuts. In the year 610 the Roman pan theon, a heathen temple, was trans formed into a Christian church, and -dedicated to St. Mary and All :Saints, and a special day for cele brating All Saints was later fixed on November 1. And while . Chris tianity gradually replaced paganism, some of their customs would linger on, and the glory of it has been tthat the best of their ideas have ;been transformed and -caught up in the Christian view of life. The Christian doctrine of the Commun ion of Saints has replaced the pag an ideas of the spirits which in liabit the unseen world. Significance of Day . To my mind there is no greater lay in .the Church calendar, cx repting of course, Christmas, Good !;riday and Easter, than All Saints Dav. On that day we go. to our churches, for the most solemn and comforting of all her services. The Holy Communion, which is the sacrament of fellowship, is cele brated, and there we bring to mind the .mighty . company of all those who, having finished their coarse in faith, especially our own be loved, do now rest from their lab ors. We remember them as they were with us; we recall our as sociation with them, and here comes in the beautiful idea of the (Communion of . Saints. In our Christian belief they have not passed into forgetfulness, but are with Him, and in Him who re deemed them.: While in this life they were members of His body, loo, and so still members one of smother. " The whole church i.s not a lot of separated fragments." T11 Christ Jesus if is one. He is the center of our life and theirs. In Him we still have fellowship one with another. All are one in Christ Jesus. The comforting thing, about it is that in the Communion of Saints we are not far apart. "0 blest Communion, fellowship Divine, . We feebly struggle, they in glory shine, Yet all arc one in Thee, for all are thine." Alleluia." During this period of drought and longing fur refreshing showers, the members of the Presbyterian Auxiliary feel that they have been abundantly showered with social and spiritual blessings during Oc tober. The two circles met with Mrs. C. A. Lowry on October 1, and all enjoyed this "Carpet-Rag Ball Party." While all hands were busy tacking strips to be woven into a rug the program was being presented as the ball was gaily tossed to someone, who would un wind it until her part was found. After the 16 parts were heard, the weighing of balls disclosed the fact that the only home department member present had the heaviest ball and all felt that she deserved that' honor. Good "old-time" . re freshments were served as the ladies observed the antiques on display. On October 8 the Auxiliary mem bers enjoyed a rare treat, in hav ing the Rev. R. Riddle conduct the regular' monthly Bible study in James, at the same meeting. Rev. Mr. Riddle made a splendid talk on "Religious Education" and "Young People's Work." Then Came the long-looked-for day of the group conference, Oct. 20. At this time friends from Murphy, Hayesville, Andrews, Bry son City, and Slagle Memorial were welcomed and a noon social hour enjoyed. At the last moment, it seemed that illness and unavoid able delays would play havoc with the well prepared program but by rallying forces and pressing into service very able substitutes, the capable president, Mrs. Gus Leach, JUST HUMANS By GENE CARR r 3- 'I :i) ' 7! .ia-.'. i J .. mm in if 1 1 .t , , . . . ,,. .,1-- . 1 imm Wm-4 iPi wnr, i , v, 1 v J it n 111 rv r if V "Gosh, Ya Lucky Workin' in th' Coal Game.
