RED LETTER DAYS.
The Origin of Thus Designating Not
able Occasions.


The origin of red letter day" has
been traced back 10 the third century.
Gregory, bishop of Casarea, Jealous
for the conversion of pagans, found
them unwilling to give up their custom
airy recreations at the festivals of their
gods, so, taking a leaf out Of their
book, he instituted festivals in honor
Of saints and martyrs.
This example soon led to the institu-
ton of holy days, now corrupted into
holidays. In old almanacs all such
holy days were set forth in red ink.
the rest being in black; hence the term
red letter day" for any notable occa
sion.
Others say that the origin of the, ex-
preston is much more recent and is
due TO the fact that saints day, the
9th OF November, the kings birthday
and accession and King Charles day
were similarly marked off in red as
holidays for the Bank of England, evil
IDENTITY in the times of the later Stuarts.

Ffrst He Preached. and Then He Of
fered tn Fight.


When the settlements on the Forsed
Deer river. were new and western Ten
nessee was still Chickasaw country oil
attempts 10 start religious services
were for long time broken up by Il
gang OF young outlaws who drove the
ministers away. AT last the Rev. Ar
thur Davis, muscular Christian came.
They had given him notice that no
Methodist parson should ever preach
on Lower Forked Deer. Mr.. Davis
went 10 the forbidden ground and
preached TO a large audience. When
the service was over he stepped out in
to the grove which surrounded the log
church and, taking off his coat and
collar, placed them on a stump. The
outlaws had gathered on one side, the
church people on the other. Turning
to one of the church people, Mr.. Da-
Wis gave him a message for his wife
and then, facing the outlaws, demand
ed that they select their champion.
you said l should not preach" he
said, but l have preached. You say
/ shall not preach again. Well, l say
l shall unless you kill me now Come
on, one at time, fair play, and Wen
see who is right"
The outlaws looked at him in amaze
ment. Then the leader stepped for
ward, holding out his hand.
I'm with you, Mr.. Davis" he de-
clared. ANY man who has got your
courage can be parson here as long as
he likes. Boys, step up and shake
hands with the minister"
Thenceforward the fighting parson"
held forth regularly in the Forked
Deer country.

Quaint Custom In Land Tenure.

At Chingford in Essex, England, an
estate is held by very curious condi-
ton. Whenever 1t passes into new
hands the owner, with his wife, NAH
servant and maidservant, comes on
horseback to the parsonage and pays
his homage by blowing three blasts
upon a horn. He carries a hawk upon
his wrist. His servant has a grey
hound in slip. both for the use Of the
rector for that day. He receives a
chicken for the hawk, peck of oats
for his horse and a loaf of bread for
his greyhound. After dinner the owner
blows three more blasts and then,
with his party, withdraws from the
rectOrY.
