THIS name is no doubt of Latin
l. origin. being derived from Nae
vius, a prominent name in Rome as
early as the sixth century.
Because of its similarity in sound
and appearance, the name has often
been confused with the name of
Nevins. The name of Nevius has
been a we'll known one in many coun-
tries. In various countries of Europe
it boasts of many illustrious men and
women, soldiers, statesmen, painters
and scholars.
In Holland the name of Nevius went
through many forms of spelling.
From Neve, Neefe, Meets, Neffje, Nefle,
Neerus to Nevius.
In America We find the name OF
Nevius an eminent one. The first of
the line in this country was Joannes
Nevius, who was born in Holland. He
was induced to come to the New
World by offers made by the Dutch
West Indies Co. for free trade with
merchants who would 90 to New

and when he broke with the Roman
Church he particularly specified that
the custom Of carrying palms on the
Sunday before Easter was to be con-
tinued. 1t was rot until after the
reign Of Edward VI that the feast de-
clined.
One of the curious customs OF the
day was that which centered in the
distribution of what was known as
the Pax or Peach Cake. Until very

and even since the World War it
has been a custom for London resi-
dents to visit the country and bring

Of palms.
In Rome, real palms are used, and
American pilgrims will recall the
spectacle OF the peddlers standing
before the churches and basilicas,
offering branches for sale
A charming anecdote is told to ex-
plain the prescriptive right which the
village of San Reno, near Genoa,
possesses for furnishing the palms for
st. Peters. Pope Sixtus v, it is said
had conceived the idea of transport
ing the obeliSk which formerly orna-
mented the circus of Caligula and
Nero to the middle of the piazza be-
fore the great church. He publicly
announced that the death penalty
would be inflicted upon any one who
should disturb the silence judged nee
essary for the operation.

Palm Sunday, and commence, ates the
entry Of Christ into Jerusalem.
The Bible story relates how He
rode into the city on a mule, and "a
very great multitude spread their
garments in the way: others cut down
branches from the trees and strewed
them in the way. And the multi
tudes that went before, and that fol-
lowed, cried, saying "Hosanna to the
Son of David: Blessed is He that
cometh in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest"
But the Scriptures also tell that
the enthusiasm Of the populace speed
lily cooled. Only five days after He
had received the adulation of the
mob, He perished on the cross. The
throngs that had acclaimed Him at
the city gate Knocked Him as He
toiled toward Calvary. His c~oeri-

still is cited as evidence of the muta-

and it was several centuries before
the church authorities were willing
to permit an annual observance of
the event. But by 1000 AID. the
yearly Passion pageant had devel-
oped to the point where every record
ed detail was celebrated, and the bish-
ops, therefore, ordained that Palm
Sunday should be observed The
palm branches were blessed by the
priests and distributed to the faith
full for professional use. and it became
the custom to burn an appropriate
number. the ashes of which were pre-
served for application to the brows Of
worshipers at the Ash Wednesday
services Of the ensuing year.
Custom in Middle Ages.
During the Middle Ages the usual
observance took the form Of a prog
ress from the church through the
streets of the town, the parish clergy
riding on donkeys and carrying the
sacred host. On occasion a wooden
animal was employed, and a carved
wooden representation of the Saviour
was set in the saddle. The transport
OF the two figures was accomplished
by mounting them on a platform with
wheels, and the people threw their
palm branches before the car as 1t
passed and gathered them up after
ward as charms against lightning and
other catacsmic Affections. In Eng
land before the Reformation such cars
were dragged about by boys soliciting
pennies. and half of the proceeds of
their begging enterprise went to the

MISSIONS CAMP 1
PLANS ANNOUNCED
$4,000 to Be Sought for
Benefit of Underprivi.
legged Children.

Plans Of the Central Union Mission
to establish a permanent Summer
camp for Washington's underprivileged
children on its recently acquired 240-
acre farm in nearby Maryland were
announced last night by Supt. and
tMrs. John S. Bennett.
Reports that relief funds again will
not be available for the usual free
Summer camps of local welfare
agencies were given as the reason by
the mission of the churches" for ar.
ranging to begin a campaign this
week to raise $4,000 to build the first
three units of the greatly needed
camp. With assurances Of support
from many quarters, it Is hoped tc
have accommodations ready for 90
boys and girls by June /.
Besides providing permanent
camp in the country for the 40 chill
oren under constant care of the Gen.
tral Union Mission. Mrs. Bennett Is
planning to establish the camp with
view to future expansion. With 240
acres of meadows and woodland, 19
miles from the District line OH the
Brookeville pike, the camp would pro-
vide an ideal location for daily and
week end outings of hundreds of other
children unable otherwise to escape
from the city's pavements.
Known as Gods Acres"
Gods Acres" is the name by which
this unique farm homestead project
Of the mission has become known to
the transient men who are employed
to work upon it, Presented to the mis-
sion by its Womens Guild from the
proceeds Of the Seth Parker" con-
certs arranged several years ago by
Mrs. Bennett, the farm fulfills dream
Of many years. Now it is providing
healthy outdoor work for self-respect-
ing homeless men, who go out daily in
groups of Is to 20 to help put the
old farm house in order for Spring
and work in the fields.
When the Bennetts came to Wash
ington 19 years ago the need for a
Summer home for the mission chill
dren became problem that remained
unsolved until now. Supporters oi
the mission are enthusiastic over
plans for the proposed camp in view
Of the prospect that none will be
available free of charge next Summer
unless conditions change for the
better.
Arrangements will be made, If the
campaign is successful, to construct
the three buildings of rough-hewn
boards so as to give the camp rustic
appearance. Each of the three build
ings will cost $4,000 and other build
ings can be erected when needed at a
smaller cost. The central building will
contain general dining hall, kitchen,
camp headquarters and indoor play
rooms. Each will provide accommo-
dations for 80 children, boys and girls
over 6 years Of age being housed in
separate dormitories. Then there will
be another building for babies and
their mothers.
This Maryland farm is something
new and unique in Washington social
welfare work. The local mission is the
only one in this section Of the country
that has undertaken such a subsist-
ence project. Already 70 acres have
been planted for feed and seed and last
Thursdays volunteers went out to
pillow a 23-acre field. The unexpected
snowfall, however, halted the Spring
operations.
