What about Halloween?
It’s that time of year when the shops are full of pumpkins and
youngsters are knocking on our doors to ‘trick or treat’. How
should Christians respond to Halloween? Is it simply a fun festival
for the children or does it have a dark side that we should avoid?
Firstly, Christians should not respond to Halloween with
superstition. The Bible reminds us that evil is a real force at work
in our world, as ‘the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking
for someone to devour’ (1 Peter 5:8). We shouldn’t underestimate
his ability to blind the minds of unbelievers to the reality of spiritual
warfare. (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Secondly, we can respond with confidence. While people are
often fearful of witches, ghosts, and evil spirits, we mustn’t forget
that God is in control, not Satan. Jesus has secured the victory
over sin and evil on the cross: ‘having disarmed the powers and
authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over
them by the cross.’ (Colossians 2:15).
Finally, we can also offer hope. ‘Christ died and returned to life so
that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.’ (Romans
14:9). Halloween is an opportunity to share the hope of the gospel.
For example, if we offer sweets to children calling to trick and treat,
we might include information about the Christian faith or church,
or we could organise an alternative Light Party, celebrating Jesus
as the light of the world.
C S Lewis provides a helpful balance for us: ‘There are two equal
and opposite errors into which our race can fall into about devils.
One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and
to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.’ (The
Screwtape Letters).

Elmton 1912
In 1912, the proprietor of the Elm Tree Inn was Fred Newton
Stubbings (born in Whitwell Parish). He lived there with his wife
Sarah, son, Frederick (aged 7) and his brother, George Cecil
Stubbings. He was not only a publican but a farmer. Although
there is no record of him singing in Elmton Church Choir, we know
that he had a tenor voice and was very musical because, in 1912,
he was a member of the Chesterfield and District Musical Union
Choir. On Whit Saturday that year he went with them to a music
competition in Paris.
The following is a letter he wrote to the Rev. DA Soole of Creswell
describing his visit which appeared in a Parish Magazine of June
1912:
“I left Elmton the Saturday before Whit Sunday for Paris, arriving
there on Sunday morning about 8am. As I crossed the Channel I
witnessed the beautiful dawn of a perfect summer’s day. What a
contrast with our Sundays! In Paris the stalls were set out, shops
were open for business, minstrels in the gardens, flower girls
selling the most beautiful roses and youths selling picture
postcards, all these calling out against one another, it made it
seem like any day but Sunday.
“We escaped it for a time by going in for breakfast, then we had a
walk to Notre Dame, a very fine Cathedral-Roman Catholic. We
climbed up steps which brought us out on the top of one of the
towers, from which we could see all over Paris. It was mid-day!
The bells began to ring out while we were taking in the wonderful
scene. I think every church bell in Paris must have been ringing
just then, the different sounds which struck the ear from near and
far, together with the vibrations of the bells beneath us, and the
swaying to and fro of the tower, which we could feel quite well,
made such an impression on me and my friends which we shall
never forget. I might say here that the great bell, which was rung
Page 10only when a king was crowned in the days when France was a
monarchy, now rings thrice a year on Whit Sunday, Easter and
Christmas Day.
“Monday! The day of days! We, as members of the Chesterfield
and District Musical Union, had very little time to think of anything
but what we came for and that was to do our very best to gain a
place of honour at the International Concours of Music where, I am
proud to say, we gained first both in the test piece and that of our
own choice, which was “Go, song of mine” Elgar and Macfarren’s
‘You stole my love” which evidently pleased the French taste and
gained applause from judges and audience alike.
“When we had finished at the Salle des Horticultures, we had to
wend our way to the Ecole des Garçons, which was reserved for
sight singing. We were entirely lost for over an hour which caused
no little anxiety to us. When at last we did arrive, there were only
a few minutes to complete the contest. Our copies were handed
to us at the door and, almost breathless, we stood before a bench
of impatient judges. In spite of all this we took first prize again.”

Page 13Anthems of Chrysanthemums
“Do you remember golden days
And golden summer sun?
The sound of laughter in our ears
In the breeze as we would run?”
These lyrics, from the psychedelic pop group from the era of
‘flower power’
Took its name from this work’s featured flower,
With ‘golden days’ and ‘golden sun’ embodying its Ancient Greek
name;
‘Golden flower’; the meaning of ‘chrysanthemum’
The theme that is also touched upon here
Is this cultivar’s seasonal flowering time of year
The symbolic significance owed to this species flowering late,
Is the ‘blooming’ end of summer which its prick-eared petals
intimate
In John Steinbeck’s ‘Chrysanthemums’ (1937) the flowers are
symbolic of the character, Elisa, whose strength is like the stem
but her delicateness is like that of the flower, but, whilst also
epitomising her beauty, the underlying lament is a metaphor for a
fading summer of hope:
Elisa spotted her flowers that the pot mender had cast aside
And, feeling old, she turned her head to hide the tears that she
cried
Of the many different colours cultivated, the basic genus
classification is yellow which, in the Victorian language of flowers,
symbolizes slighted love, as in D.H. Lawrence’s ‘Odour of
Chrysanthemums’ (1909) when the character Elizabeth says that
the chrysanthemums no longer smell beautiful to her, realizing that
she and her husband never did know each other.
Page 14These partly descriptive/partly poetic depictions,
Along with a choice selection of citations,
Is aimed at discovering the anthems of symbolism, running
through
The adopted sentiments of this flower with the golden hue
“Why should this flower delay so long
To show its tremulous plumes?
Now is the time of plaintive robin-song,
When flowers are in their tombs.”
(Thomas Hardy ‘The Last Chrysanthemum’)

Page 21Sir Roger Manners of Whitwell
Part 3 - the Wall Monument
On 17th July 1632 Sir Roger was mortally wounded in a fight on
Whitwell Common, probably in a boundary dispute with a
neighbour and his retainers. He was said to have been carried
into the hall dying and folklore has it that traces of his blood could
be seen on the steps for a long time afterwards!
The funeral of such a prominent figure in the county must have
drawn many important Derbyshire people to the church, as well as
his family and his many nieces. The Archdeacon of Derby may
well have officiated, there being no Bishop of Derby then, and with
the Rector of Whitwell assisting. The latter’s name is not known
as some diocesan records were destroyed when Lichfield
Cathedral was bombarded in the Civil War. While we are on this
point it is worth saying that Sir Roger’s death had nothing to do
with the Civil War of the 1640’s as has been claimed. While it is
true that by 1632 Charles I was three years into his eleven years
rule without Parliament (1629-40), thoughts of war were non-
existent. Roger would have been surprised had he heard of the
conflict which began in 1642!
A splendid wall monument, though not over elaborate, was
erected in his memory, as he himself wished. It is partly of
alabaster from Chellaston (Derbyshire) quarries and is one of a
series of about twelve such tombs, including Bess of Hardwick’s
(Derby Cathedral) and his father’s (Sir John) in Bakewell Church.
It shows a recumbent figure in armour, complete with helmet. In
1946 an expert claimed the helmet was a unique survival of the
period, but recent opinion holds that it was added later and is not
of 1632.
If the effigy corresponds with his height, Sir Roger was about five
feet (or just over) and tall for the time. Appearance suggests a
crusty, no nonsense old ‘gent’, though it need not mean that he
was without concern for the village and parish. The plinths at the
base of the columns tell something of his background, the three
Page 22faces of the left hand, one seen from left to right, suggest the
Temple (London), swords and then parliament. On the other plinth
(left to right) a spired church (Bakewell or Bottesford - the Manners
Church), drum and trumpet in the centre and the ancestral Belvoir
Castle on the extreme right. High above is his coat of arms
emphasising his family lineage. While below the effigy is a
somewhat cryptic epitaph which says:
A living academic was this knight,
Divinity, the arts, the tongs, what might
In learned schooles exactly be profest,
Tooke up theire lodgings in his noble brest,
Till death, like church despoilers, did pull down,
Manners true fabrique and the arts renowne
It could mean that although he was academically inclined, other
duties (military?) had taken precedence over schooling and he
mastered the subjects cited through his own wide reading and
study as they “Tooke up theire lodgings” (line 4) and were his main
interest or “true fabrique” (line 6). While “church despoilers” may
mean opposition to the puritans in favour of Archbishop Laud’s
high church ritual. In the not too distant future the monument will
need considerable restoration, costing over £30,000, but it would
also require the renovation of the saturated north wall, costing
another £100,000.

Page 25Defending St Paul
St Paul has a bad reputation amongst Christian’s today. He is said
to hate women, to be very bad tempered and to write difficult
theology which no-one can understand. This is unfair.
St Paul had the same attitudes as most of his contemporaries
when he said women should keep their heads covered and not
speak in Church. Yet it is clear that he worked with many women
in his churches. Prisca, Lydia, Chloe and Phoebe are all
mentioned as fellow missionaries or Church leaders. St Paul knew
as well as any of us that women are essential to the good running
of any congregation and have a gift for teaching.
Then, yes, he did get angry, but with good cause! He calls the
Galatians foolish (Galatians 3: 1) which they were; they were
abandoning their freedom in Christ to keep the Jewish law. He
berates the Corinthians who were squabbling like children as to
who was most important, and putting up with some pretty sinful
behaviour. Paul loves his churches and cares passionately that
they should be faithful to the Gospel. Of course he gets
exasperated when they slip away. This is a consequence of his
love and his theology is not usually difficult. No-one could say
1 Corinthians 13 is difficult to understand though it is hard to do.
But Paul was having to work out profound theological truths for the
first time, making language describe things it hadn’t described
before. He is a fascinating theologian and scores of books get
written about him every year.
And in the midst of all this he suffered terribly, as we read in
2 Corinthians 11:
“Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews the forty
lashes less one. Three times I have been beaten with rods; once
I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and
a day I have been adrift at sea; on frequent journeys, in danger
from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people,
danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness,
danger at sea, danger from false brethren; in toil and hardship,
Page 26through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without
food, in cold and exposure. And, apart from other things there is
the daily pressure upon me of my anxiety for all the churches”.
Would we do that?
At the same time he was travelling around the Eastern
Mediterranean, mostly on foot. There were no cars, trains or even
combis. You walked in a hot climate. Or you took a ship and got
shipwrecked. Paul did all this for 25 years because he loved Christ
so much, and was so driven by the Holy Spirit. He wanted as
many people as possible to hear the great message of the Gospel
and have their lives changed. St Paul was really wonderful!

A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she
saw her father donning his dinner jacket, she objected. “Oh
Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.” Bemused, her father asked
why not. The little girl explained, “Because you know that it always
gives you a headache the next morning.”
