Herbert L. Rice as follows. Andrew

that return be made Saturday, Jan

One person interested in the prop

by a bond issue.
It is expected that church officials
will be the chief objectors, and It Is
said Delaware Avenue Baptist Church
will ask that it be paid sufficient
money to purchase a site and erect a
building as good as the present one.
When that church was built, nearly
fifty years ago, the late Christian

CUSTOM DATES FROM
ROMAN SATURNALIA

This is the twelfth day after Christ
mas, or Twelfth-night, which used to
be the date of the ending OF the
Christmas celebration. Today il
marks the opening of the Greek
Christmas festival.
The evening before Twelfth day, or,
as the Germans says, Three Kings
Day." the Feast OF Beans was held
and the one receiving the piece OF
Twelfth-night cake containing a bean
became Bean King and ruler Of the
revels.
Twelfth-night character cards we're
distributed, and each person was sup
posed to assume the character depict
ed whether king queen, minister,
clown or other grotesque or ludicrous
impersonation. Although cOnfounded
with the Feast OF the Epiphany, it is
supposed that the custom really dates
back to the Roman Saturnalia. On
the eve of Twelfth-day, after night
/ fall, springs and rivers were blessed
water was drawn from them and
/ stored for the year for baptism and
Illustrations.
Since the fourth century the Feasi
OF Epiphany has been observed with
reference to the appearance of the
Magi, or three kings or wise men
who came to make their offering e
the newborn Savious, and the earlier
and more secular festivals had th'
same idea. in mind. although express
