In the early days of the church, Christians were called simply "the saints". Take me, for instance. I am one of the saints, Saint Robert if you like. T • hose of you who know mea will not think me ver saintly, but then neither in the ordinary sense were most of the saints y • They were, and are, very much like other human beings. Indeed, they usually felt very human. They suffered, they were bored, they had to eat and sleep, they had worldly obligations. They were neither better nor worse than we. And they/rusted that their faults and failings would be made up by God, as we know Him in Christ Jesus. Some saints, of course, became .famous. Many people have become famous and are not given the title of saint - yet ma-n-y—of---them were; nonetheless. All Saints Day is their day. You and I may never become popular figures, but we may very well be num- bered among the saints, and our special day is All Saints Day, too, Hallowe'en reminds us that mostbf the saints are dead, and dwells on that fact. Many saints are'still living - indeed all of the saints are still living, and will never die. So All Saints Day is not a festival of the departed; it is not preoccupied with the dead in' spite of Hallowe'en celebrations on the previous evening. Such carryings -on are not really Christian anyway. The problem with Hallowe'en is that it is just a mistake which came about because people are, or tend to be, preoccupied with the subject of death. Why? Because.they are at the same time so concerned with the ' problem of living. They never want to give it up. We are like rich men,. •Iperpetually concerned to f make more money, and afraid of bankruptcy or im- poverish ment. I don't think about death all the time any more than the rich man thinks about being poor. But behind it all, the subject lurks, whether I am conscious of it or not. It is not, then, the witches, hobgoblins and ghosts which come out at Hallowe'en, but rather our apprehensions. And the next day, All Saints Day, tells us that we ought not to be worried about death, just ife: how to live it fully ow, in the knowledge nd love of Christ Jesus, of because we have so ew years in which to ccomplish it, but ecause it is the only eality worth con- sidering.
