Rea2its of Mistakes.

Reaaits of Mistakes.
Down TO the early part of the present
century it was usual to name child
after the saint on whose day he hap
pened TO be born. A writer to Notes
and Qperies In 1888 states that ne had
recently baptized child by the name
of Benjamin Simon Jude. On MS ex-
pressing some surprise at this some
what singular conjunction Of names,
he WIS informed that the birth had
taken place on the festival of s..
Simon and Juds, and that it was al
ways considered very unlucky 70 tako
the day from a child.
The custom OF naming children after
any particular saint Las fallen into
general disuSe, except in those coun-
tries where the population is composed
almost entirely Of Roman Catholics.
The giving of a name in baptism Is
really 40 essential part Of the rite, but
l. merely q custom derived apparently
from the Jews. and which through
long practice has become an important
elemen. IN thu ceremony.
Many instances might be furnished
Of children who have inadvertently re-
ceiTed wrong names. The registers IN
WarmiIstsr church contain the follow
ing entries;
