New organ consecrated at St. Christophers-at-the-Crossroads Episcopal Church By PAULINE LEWIS Society Editor Consecration services for a newly installed pipe organ at St Christopher-at the-Crossroads Episcopal Church of Perry were led by the Very Rev. Frank Allen. Bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta May 12. Soil and water stewardship observance began with Rogation days years ago <? The Origin of the Soil and Water Stewardship Observance. The Soil and Water Stewardship Observance is cele brated in the United States to " remind people of their individual f responsibilities to care for soil and « water resources. By its very nature, the observance is one to be joined in by everyone (regardless * of religious beliefs) who shares a •• sense of personal responsibility to ; care for valued natural resources. The roots of this special obser vance are deep in history. For cen turies, men and women have „ offered thanks to God for the , priceless gifts of soil, water, air, and sunshine which sustain all liv ing things. The world as we know it could not exist without fruitful - agriculture and forestry. But nature, like man, is erratic. There are times when the very elements seem to conspire against a fruitful yield. This is what happened in France more than 1,500 years ago in the city of Vienna and its sur - rounding countryside. Bad weath er, fires and earthquakes had brought crop failures and wide -1 spread hunger. The bishop of Vienna, Saint Mamertus, called for prayer and penance on the : three days preceding Ascension ; Day. The people responded and . implored God for help in their suf , fering and privation. Word of what happened in ' Vienna spread throughout France » and then to other countries beyond * the Alps. The supplication filled a need in the hearts and minds of the - people, and as the years went by, v the annual practice of setting aside j these special Rogation Days was f( widely established. , In the United States, the deci sion to set aside a week each year to acknowledge before God our ) dependence on the gifts of the soil « has met with wide acceptance. In parts of the South earlier in this century, a few church congrega e tions began to set aside the fifth ' Sunday after Easter as Soil and Soul Sunday. Subsequently, this > designation was changed to Soil ' Stewardship Sunday, when in 1946, the publishers of Farm and , Ranch magazine took on promo ■> tion of the observance. The response of clergy and lay 1 leaders was so positive that obscr * vance of Soil Stewardship Sunday spread to other denominations in other states. In 1954, the publish / ers of the magazine suggested to the officers of the National Association of Conservation Districts that they take on nation t - wide promotion of the obser " vance. * The national association, which » represents 3,000 local soil and v water conservation districts, has * sponsored the observance since 1955. The development of the The organ was given to the church by a Savannah family, according to the Rev. John Buchanan, vicar of St. Christopher's church. The only cost to the church was to pay for installation by professional installers. The pipe organ was installed recently theme and supporting materials is guided by a Soil and Water Stewardship Advisory Committee, which includes repre sentatives of a number of reli gious denominations. The observance, now known as Soil and Water Stewardship Week, is celebrated each year between the last Sunday in April and the first Sunday in May. However, congregations are encouraged to celebrate the obser vance in any convenient time. (National Association of Conservation Districts, 408 East Main. League City.
