These are called "Rogation days.” The word rogation is from the Latin verb '9ogo" mean- ing to ask, to beseech. Next. Sunday, therefore, is Rogation Sunday. Rogation -tide is an occasion in which we are all interested, especial- ly the farmers. Perhaps we would do well to emphasize this old custom, We appoint new days for many other things. Why not keep a day which reminds us of our dependence upon both nature and God. It is eminently fitting that we prey at this time of year that God will bless the efforts of o'er farmers. In the old days in England, before maps were in existence, it was nt Rogation season that clergymen and parishioners marched in procession round the parish boundaries Boys carried green boughs with which they bead the• parish border stores— WALTON UNITED CHURCH and thus they were remembered.
