No Merry Christmas
In English Monastery

There is one place where the JOY
Gus cry of Merry Christmas!" will
not ring out. This is the Trappist
Monastery at Whitwick in England.
Officially it is known as the Mount
Saint Demands Monastery, and
there are about 40 monks resident.
In addition to abstaining from
meat and fish, these men have i'm
posed upon themselves the vow of
perpetual silence. On Christmas eve
at IL o'clock they will attend Mass,
then retire to their cubicles for sleep
or meditation till a. m, when
they will rise and join in the chant
ing of lauds AMI mathis. Presuma-
bly, the vow of silence holds good
only for conversation.
Christmas breakfast will consist
of tea or coffee and one slice of
bread and jam. Dinner will be
weighed carefully to ensure that
there is no over-indulgence, and at
night they will sup off vegetables
and tea or hot milk. They usually
retire at nine, so as to be ready for
prayer at two in the morning on
Boxing day. The Guest Master says:
"This way of spending the Holy
Season is the best of all"

lation.
'Santaclause" was the first Of
fetal spelling given the village by
the United States Post Office De-
partment when the post Office was
established on May Il, 1856. with
John Specht as postmaster.
In June, 1895, however. six
months before Christmas, the "E''
was dropped, changing the name
to "Santaclaus." And it was
known by this name until Feb. Is,
1927, when James F. Martin, then
postmaster, succeeded in having
the name officially divided to
Santa Claus"
Appropriately enough, close by
the Santa Claus post Office is a Toy
Village filled with tiny playhodses
and all of Santa's best. and newest
toys-a Candy Castle and a toy
factory where Santa and his toy

makers can be seen working.
The Candy CaStle-a WondrouS
architectural specimen with story
book turrets, twisty chimneyS and
make believe crenelationS - is
rooted with fire-resistant asphalt
shingles of red and green which
gaily denote the Christmas colors.
Other workshop structures which
carry traditional exterior Christ
mas colors include Santa'S work
Shop, the toy block house, the doll
furniture house and the circus
building.
Today the charm Of this lovely
little village-and its growing
mail capacity-rest largely upon
its name. Despite the troubles of
a war-torn world, America still
believes in Santa Claus-Indiana.

missions. A well integrated curri-
culum provided those who came to
study with a new conception of
the scope of missionary work. All
areas of human experience were
discovered to be the concern OF the
missionary worker Hence, health
education, religious education,
parliamentary procedure, art and
musical instruction, dramatics, a
study of the missionary organi-
cations within the AME church,
methods for adult and junior So
cieties, recreational activities, and
a study of social problems were
all included in the course of study.
Among the highlights of the
encampment were the address OF
Bishop E, j. Howard in which he
outlined his goals and aspirations
for Shorter College and for the
work in Arkansas and expressed
Pine Bluff press., 1940-07-20

his faith in the loyalty of the wo-
men of Arkansas, and the welcome
address of DR.. John II. Clayborn,
acting president of Shorter Col
lege, in which he placed the facili-
ties of the college at the disposal
of the gathering. At the inspira-
tional hour on Thursday a chal-
longing message was brought by
Sister E. NJ. Cummings. The hike
and breakfast on July 4th, a cour-
tesy of the Little Rock, district led
by Mrs. Marian Blakely, were
greatly enjoyed by all who part
took.
Hand in hand with the adult ac-
tivities went those of the juniors

get much support. Any candidate
who has made other solemn
promises and then proceeded to
ignore and violate them will have
to do a lot of explaining before
the public will take him seri-
ously on this issue.
The next important subject
on which platforms and candi-
dates will have to declare them
selves is that of relief or social
welfare. The country has spent
billions on public works and
public charities In the last seven
years. 1t seems there are more
needing aid now than when the
program began. That is prob
ably natural. for the tendency
of human nature is to get all one
can while the getting is good.
This public assistance takes a
great deal of money and is keep
ing the budget unbalanced and
the public debt getting bigger
and bigger.
These are but two of the great
issues. What OF organized la
Dor, of trade pacts, of the farm
problem, of foreign relations, of
monopolies in restraint of trade
and a thousand other questions ?
