Little things are little things, but
faithfulness in little things is some
thing great"
The leisure afforded me by my
retirement from the active minis
try often carries my thinking back
more years than | like to confess,
carries it back to the time / was
organizing a mission congregation
in the state of Wisconsin. Having
gathered together a small group of
interested people, we purchased an
abandoned church and several
years later equipped it with a sec
ond hand pipe organ. 1t was an
old fashioned instrument whose bel
lows had to be pumped by hand,
chore that was taken care of
each Sunday morning by lad OF
twelve. One warm summer morn
ing, having completed my SER
mon, the organist took her place
at the console, pulled out the
proper stops and pressed her fin
gers to the keys to play the offer
tory. but not a sound was heard.
The summer heat-it could not
have been my sermon-had put to
sleep the lad who pumped the or
gan. He had to be awakened before
the service could continue The
members of my little parish chuck
led about this for a long time.
AS l chuckle with them at the
remembrance of this incident, !
turn to book by Seth Parker
which he calls his Album" In his
inimitable down-east Yankee dis
lect he weaves a fanciful tale about
one of these old fashioned organs
that needed to be pumped by hand.
The organist's name was Jim Flet-
cher who busted himself energeti-
cally with both hands and feet in
playing this instrument and he did
manage to get quite a lot of noise
out of it. The lad who pumped the
organ was fourteen years old and
his name was Peter Lufkin. And
here I would pick up the story of
what happened in Seth Parker's
own words:
1.-THE Sunday / have in mind the
parson got all het up and gave
the sermon extra stirring and il
was now up to Jim Fletcher, the
organist, to Guido himself, too. Sc
he picked a number with con-
siderable amount of noise to it and
when he climbed on top of the
organ stool and started to play il
was nip and tuck between him and

when emphasis is placed on the
crops, the necessity of praying for
Gods blessing upon the crops, and
those who till the soil.
Whereas on, Thanksgiving Day
the Church urges its people to give
thanks for the harvest, on Roga-
ton Day the Church bids its peo-
pie to pray for those who work so
that a harvest may be gathered
some months later.
Rogation Days: The Monday,
Tuesday ard Wednesday following
Rogation Sunday and before Holy
Thursday or Ascension Day. They
derive their name from the fact
that Mamertus. Bishop of Venice
in $50. appointed special litanies
for these days.
The custom of beating the
bounds" which means visiting the
farms near the parish or mission
is all that survives of the old Eng
lish professions that were observ-
ed in Rogation Days.
The Prayer Book contains pray
ers that are suitable for use on
the Rogation Days, and a Collect,
Epistle, and Gospel are provided
for use at the Holy Communion on
these days. The color for the Ro-
CATION Days is purple or violet
and the color for Rogation Sunday

LUTHERANS Believe.
Every Christian is a priest.

Every Christian is priest
St Peter in his first epse addressing the whole Chris
tan Church, says, Eye royal priesthood"
He could claim this because Christ made it when He
died the and offered there the oncefora sacrifice
for the sins of mankind.
After that there longer any need for Temple
priesthood to offer blood sacrifices of animals Christ be-
the High Priest who made the eternal sacrifice and
those who believed it longer trotted the Temple to
offer animal sacrifices. Their sins forgiven through
faith in Jesus Christ period
And it this point that every believer in Christ be-
came priest subject only to the High Priest Christ
Lutherans believe that every Christian, since he is
priest must act like priest In other words every Christian
IS to function priest.
His functions ,wo-fold First to make intercesson
which he does in his private devotons Secondly
priest to his given talents his neighbor
through the work-aday world Il priest" says Luz
