November 1 – All Saints’ Day – it is believed by many scholars that the commemoration of all the saints on this day originated in Ireland. It was adopted by Rome early in the ninth century. But – a man called the ‘Wonder Worker’ wrote before the year 270 of the observance of a festival of all martyrs. In the 1979 Prayer Book, All Saints’ Day is classed as a Principal Feast, taking precedence of any other day or observance. Among the seven Principal Feasts so classified, All Saints’ Day alone may be observed on the following Sunday, in addition to its fixed date.

‘The role of Faith: Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers; fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals; fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable – and, most of all, fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith rejoices in its God.’ -- Copied
‘Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.”
-- William Arthur Ward in www.appleseeds.org

Who Knew – Uses for WD-40
- Protects silver from tarnishing
- Removes road tar and grime from cars
- Cleans and lubricates guitar strings
- Removes bees wax
- Keeps flies off cows
- Restores and cleans chalkboards
- Cleans dust from artificial flowers
[Editor’s note – I have not tried these, but – WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. The project was to find a ‘water displacement’ compound. They were successful with the 40th formulation. – Thus WD-40. There is nothing in WD-40 that will hurt one.]
