Knocking on Wood.
N the Editor OF The STAR:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The custom OF knocking on wood to
avert disaster is a relic of the middle
ages. when the people. meeting danger
and not having time or opportunity to
pray for help. according to the rites of
the Roman Catholic Church. knocked
on wood as the substitute for prayer.
They knocked three times-to the
FYther. the Son and the Holy Spirit.
and on wood as the symbol of the cross
OF Christ From this religious act, as
they felt II to be. has come the super
stition of the present day.
