FROM THE VICARAGE November 2017
The TV programme Who Do You Think You Are? has encouraged many people to think about their family backgrounds and who they are descended from. The programme is not simply a cold list of names and dates of ancestors but investigates the social, economic and political circumstances in which our families experienced their lives. It opens up their world for us and we can see what challenges they faced, what opportunities they had, or did not have, the pressures they lived and worked under and the cultural setting of their lives. So often we are left wondering how we would have coped and turned out if we had lived in their times. Amongst our family papers is a photo of one of my grandfathers. I recognised it instantly because as a child in the 1950s I walked regularly to my grandparents and remember they had the identical photo hanging on the wall in their living room, alongside a similar one of my grandfather sitting on a horse. I often stood and looked up at the photos and we were told it was taken when he lived in Paris in the first war. He was just aged 18. We were also told that during the war he lived in France. One day he returned home to marry, aged 20, and on his way back to the front line he jumped off the train and went back home to be with his wife, my grandma. For this he was arrested, disciplined and returned to the front line. The shock and fears remained with him the rest of his life. From his war years he never again ate corned beef, because that was all they ate in the trenches, which were full of rats and the smell of blood, faeces and urine. I do not recall my grandfather ever speaking about the war, dying aged 76 without ever speaking about those war years. My father was similar. As a child I didn't know he had served in the forces, he never spoke about it. Only in his later years did he tell me about his 5 years in the navy and only in response to my questions. Although in the navy, from the age of 19, he suffered terrible sea sickness and on one occasion whilst at sea they were torpedoed, the ship was hit, split in two, he was in the stormy water and the oil leaked and surrounded them. They thought death was inevitable. They were rescued but only afterwards to be sent to a battle in Italy where he told of how he had to fire the guns constantly into the city which was ablaze with fires, towering into the horizon and knowing the consequences of the bombing on the civilian population. He could never share those memories.
Sunday 12th November is Remembrance Sunday when all around the country we show our respects and remember all those who died and served in the wars and conflicts. We can
5
never know what they individually experienced, nor can we even begin to imagine what their thoughts and feelings were. All we can do is Remember Them and acknowledge that the freedom and lifestyle we have known is as a result of their actions and the price they paid, countless numbers with their lives, others with their years of service.
Next year is the Centenary of the End of World War One and in the September All Saints Church Pocklington will host a community commemoration with a flower festival at which we shall honour the fallen from this town, as well as from across the nation. It is important that we remember them and commit ourselves to working together for peace and all the values
which they fought for. WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM Geoff
St. Mary’s Church Organ, Huggate The old organ has now been removed.. It has been bought by a young man who is an accomplished organist and hopes one day to rebuild the Huggate organ and make it playable again. It is great to think it will be used again rather than just scrapped. Already it has made the church lighter as a window has been opened up. We have bought a new organ which sounds wonderful. (see photo by Annie ) John Scott Whitely, Organist Emeritus of York Minster, wrote about the Huggate organ: The organ is by Harry Sherwood of Woodmansey. His small, essentially oneman firm is not well documented. Always overshadowed by the great success of Forster & Andrews, such small firms partly grew out of this success. Harry Sherwood was born around 1876 and his last known work dates from 1937. The
quality of his organs is not particularly distinguished, but they embody the solid craftsmanship of the period. Few organs by Harry Sherwood survive. The National Pipe Organ Register lists eighteen, but only ten of these are extant; seven have recently been destroyed or sold to private individuals. Two others remain unplayable: one of these is the Huggate organ. The survivals of significance are: All Saints, Halsham, a larger instrument, fully restored in 2007. Nafferton and Clayton West Methodist Churches, both of which have Sherwood organs virtually identical to Huggate, still in playing condition. The Huggate organ was paid for by the Andrew Carnegie Trust and a public fundraising. Further contributions allowed the construction of a carved oak case, which is the only remarkable feature of the instrument. The organ has two manuals and pedals and nine speaking stops. It is thus of average size for Sherwood. The action is tubular-pneumatic, typical for 1909.The organ has gradually deteriorated and is
now in very poor condition. It has been unplayable for some years.
You
On Tuesday, 3rd October we had as our speaker Mr Frederick Dales who is a volunteer worker for Save the Children. Their speakers deliver a presentation about the general work of Save the Children, Emergencies and UK Programmes. Mr Dales’ presentation was mainly on the work they have been doing in Syria, which was very interesting. Save the Children believe that every child in the UK and around the world deserves a future. He also brought along a number of pictures and other items relating to their work. Dates for your Diaries: Saturday, 28th October - Celebration Weekend - If you can do any baking please bring it on Saturday morning or leave it in the Church kitchen on Friday. Tuesday, 14th November 9.30 - 11.30 The PCC have allowed us the Coffee Morning to raise money for the Disaster Fund for the Caribbean. Please could we have cakes. There will be a bottle Tombola and any donations for that will be very much appreciated. They do not need to be expensive bottles. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, 7th November. The speaker will be Ken Townley and his subject is "An Awesome Journey". All are welcome to any of our meetings With many Blessings Josie Penter Revd Stuart Mitchell Those who remember Revd Stuart Mitchell will be pleased to know that he is to be installed as an Honorary Canon at St. Edmondsbury Cathedral during Evensong on Sunday 19th November 2017 Brian Penter

The Biblical Way to Bake a Cake
Bible Cake, also known around the Christian world as Scriptural Cake or Old Testament Cake and made and eaten at Christmas, Easter and Weddings, is a puzzle. It requires that the cook knows the Bible (or has to look up references) in order to discover what ingredients are needed in the recipe. It was a very popular cake in the 1800s and often used as a way to teach young girls in Sunday School both baking and Bible verses. If you decide to have a go please remember that this is a very old recipe and lots of bible versions have been revised ... so please use your imagination and your wisdom (and perhaps Google) and if you look elsewhere in the magazine you will find the answers ... happy baking.
Ingredients for Bible Cake: 1) 200g ... Judges v:25... last clause 2) 250g ... Jeremiah vi:20 3) 3 tbsp ... 1 Samuel xiv:25 4) 4 of ... Jeremiah xvii:11 5) 170g ... 1 Samuel xxx:12 ... second food 6) 170g ... Nahum iii:12 7) 100g ... Numbers xvii:8 8) 500g ... 1 Kings iv:22 9) 1 tsp... 11 Chronicles ix:9 10) 1 tsp ... Leviticus ii:13 11) 2 tsp ... Amos iv:5 12) 5 tbsp ... Judges iv:19 ... last clause (may need more)
Recipe Method: 1) Grease a cake tin lightly with butter and line it with baking parchment. 2) Finely chop Nahum iii 3) Blanch and finely chop Numbers xvii 4) In a large mixing bowl cream together Judges v, Jeremiah vi and 1Samuel xiv – add Jeremiah xvii one at a time – still beating 5) Add 1 Samuel xxx, Nahum iii and half of Numbers xvii and beat again until everything is fully mixed 6) In another larger mixing bowl, sift together 1 Kings iv, 11 Chronicles ix, Leviticus ii and Amos iv. Make a well in the centre of the ingredients. 7) Add the ingredients from the first mixing bowl into the well in the centre of the second mixing bowl, (wet ingredients into the dry ingredients) and stir until a cake batter starts to form. 8) Finally add enough of Judges iv to the cake batter so it becomes easy to mix and is of a dropping consistency. You might need some extra Judges iv if the mixture is a little dry. Stir to thoroughly combine the cake mixture and then pour it into the prepared cake tin. 9) After pouring the cake batter into the cake tin sprinkle over the top the remaining half of Numbers xvii and gently press them part way into the batter. 10) Bake the Scripture cake at 160C for approx 60 to 90 minutes. Test by pushing a skewer into the centre of the cake and see if it comes out clean. A Bible Cake can last for several days in an air tight tin and some say the flavour improves if baked one day and eaten the next ... Enjoy!!!

Destroy the guns by Rodney Nicholson
IN spite of the shooting dead of 58 people in Las Vegas and the wounding of nearly 500
others, many residents vociferously asserted their right to keep a gun. Gun control is
vigorously resisted in North America. Some of those interviewed on television claimed
Christian faith, forgetting that a gun and a bible make strange bedfellows. One of the
greatest verses about destructive weapons is Isaiah 2: 4: “They shall beat their swords into
ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks”.
It would, of course, be idealistic to think that we could rid the world of all weapons.
People and animals in a sinful world require protection. Officials, such as some police, army
personnel and, rather differently, game reserve keepers need to be armed. That, however,
is poles apart from the reality that over 300 million guns are estimated to be in circulation
in North America.
At Remembrance time I wear a red poppy, like most of us, to remember those who
died in all conflicts, and their families left behind. I also at times wear a white poppy,
available from The Friends, who have benefited mankind through such philanthropists as
Joseph Rowntree in York and John Cadbury in Birmingham. The Quakers’ opposition to
violence and unwavering message of peace needs to be heard. The transatlantic slave
trade, the inhuman treatment of the Irish and the hatred shown at time towards ordinary
Germans have done no good to our reputation as a people of justice. A World War 1 poster,
for example, announced, ‘Once a German, always a German – every German employed
means a British worker idle, every German article sold means a British article unsold’.
Against this must be set the generally humane attitude to German and Italian prisoners of
war, particularly in World War 2.
If I can get one, I sometimes also wear a purple poppy to remember animals killed in
war. Horses especially were slaughtered in their millions in the Great War, despite the fact
that a German horse bore no ill will to a Russian or a British horse. They had no choice.
Human sin spilled over into the animal creation, as it still does. Come to that, I cannot see
any pleasure in shooting a living creature for pleasure. Killing for food, or as part of a
necessary cull, or in self-defence is one thing. Killing for the thrill of it, or for the gaining of
trophies, is quite another. God put man and woman in the garden of Eden to be at peace
with his other creatures. Guns hadn’t been invented but, if they had been, they would have
had no place in that haven of harmony.
The Pocklington Singers Christmas Concert will be held on Friday 8th
December at All Saints Church, Pocklington at 7.30. Tickets £7.
Concession £5 and children £1. Admission on the door or tickets are
available from the Church Office or from Readwell and Wright, the

The second half of this half term we have focused on ‘God Gave Me…’ – looking at how we
experience the world around us. We started the theme by looking at our ears and how our
hearing enables us to appreciate all the wonderful sounds in the world; to learn to talk, to
keep us safe and to communicate with others. We looked at lots of different animals and
how they had ears of all shapes and sizes and then we closed
our eyes and tried to imagine wonderful sounds like waves
crashing, leaves being rustled by the wind, people laughing, a
dog barking. We made some headbands with funny animal ears
to colour and listened to a story about how a sheepdog
needed to use his ears to work properly.
Our mouths next - and this was very popular as I had brought
several foods for us to taste. Most of the children liked the
salty crisps and recognised the taste straight away. The
chocolate, of course, was the most appreciated and resulted in
big smiles – but it was sucking on slices of lemon that produced the best facial expressions!
But, we don’t just use our mouths for eating – we communicate with each other. We
agreed it would be very difficult indeed if we had to go a whole day without talking and
how everyday tasks would become quite difficult. What a gift to be able to make ourselves
understood so easily and quickly.
Noses – and we used our sense of smell to try to identify different fragrances such as
lavender, rosemary and mint. Of course smell can also affect our taste. We all know how
horrible it is to have a blocked nose and not be able to taste our food – something we don’t
often appreciate enough until we are full of cold! Smell can be very evocative and whisk us
back instantly to a time or place. I’ve always loved the smell of rain because it reminds me
of happy times playing outdoors when I was little, or the smell of a newly ploughed field
because I spent so much time working outdoors with horses and riding through the
beautiful arable countryside of North Yorkshire. The children were eager to share with us
which smells they loved and why. We looked at pictures of animals with funny noses like
the Proboscis monkey, the elephant and the star-nosed mole and how many animals use
their sense of smell to help them look for food or stay away from danger.
Lastly, our eyes. Many people cope with blindness or impaired vision, and I think it is the
one sense that people would most hate to be without. If we couldn’t see colour, the faces
of our family, the lush countryside or calm sea, a beautiful sunset or couldn’t read a book or
10
watch a drama on television – how would that
alter our lives? The children looked at lots of
different items that help us to see properly or see
better: binoculars, spectacles, a telescope,
magnifying glass, swimming goggles…and as we
talked we realised that we were all looking
forward to seeing some fireworks on Bonfire
Night and how special the experience is. Some black paper and chalk pictures during our
craft session allowed the children to explore their memories of Bonfire Night and to
appreciate how important our sight is every moment of every day.
It’s very easy to rush through the day isn’t it and not to pause and appreciate the simple but
most precious gifts of our senses – to be truly in the moment. William Henry Davies so
perfectly writes that so often we ‘have no time to stand and stare’ and appreciate the world
around us and all the senses that involves. If we can learn to pause for a few minutes each
day and recognise these gifts at an early age, to appreciate the sound of the rain instead of
worrying about getting wet, perhaps we can enjoy life more fully, seek to help those not as
fortunate and protect our wonderful world.
Dear God, Thank you for our ears to hear wonderful things in your world. Thank you for
mouths that talk, tongues that taste and lips to lick. Thank you that we can smell
beautiful roses, yummy chocolate puddings and smoky bonfires and thank you that we
are able to see all your creation. Amen

To Share God’s Goodness
This world is so complicated and confusing
That we may sometimes feel lost and quite unsure.
Where do we fit in? We may start musing,
Indeed, where are we in this world so insecure
Where many live in overcrowded places
With not enough to eat, and drink water that’s impure,
While others fight for oil, and nations ‘won’ by stealth.
Where do we fit in in this sorry situation,
And who are we that we should enjoy the wealth
Of ample food and clothing, and a bed for the night?
Surely we have an urgent obligation
To help our neighbours in their sad bitter plight.
For God provides for all creation,
Not even one suffers without Him being aware.
So who are we, and where are we
In this sad world in need of care,
Where children wail and sob with hunger,
Clinging to parents who can only sit and wait
For aid to come from unknown far off places,
Praying that it will not come a mite too late.
Oh who are we if we can only stand and stare,
Or turn our backs, or hide our face?
For Christ calls us now to show His love; to share
The good which we receive through His grace.
And however little we can give to these others
May it show to them a fraction of God’s face,
His face of love, shining out His blessings
Pouring down His compassion, comfort and hope
Into their sea of suffering, that dry and desert place. Paddy

Keeping our attention in the prayers by Rodney Nicholson
Years ago no preparation was required for the Intercessions in church. The priest simply
read the long prayer for the church militant. Parts of the prayer are good, though some are
dated. For example, we pray for “all Christian kings, princes and governors”, but what about
the non-Christian ones? The prayer assumes an obedience to the monarch which was
appropriate in the 17th century but needs re-wording to take account of the supremacy of
the House of Commons today. Other vital concerns, such as peace in the world, care for the
environment and concern for the hungry don’t get a mention.
Changes were made in the 1928 revision which Parliament threw out but which most
of the Church used anyway. In 1966 those changes were legalised as Series 1 but
Parliament later decided that the Church of England’s prayers were really none of
Parliament’s business. Then Series 2 was born in 1967, followed by Series 3 in 1973, the
Alternative Service Book in 1980 and Common Worship in 2000. All these allowed for
flexibility in the prayers, allowing the intercessor to pray for whatever he or she chose,
though suggesting such topics as: the Church, the Queen and government, the local
community and the sick.
Where lay people lead the prayers in our group of churches, I find them very good,
but I do have less positive experiences. I have known intercessors who do rather “go on” –
covering half the world’s problems before they turn to something else! I have also known
intercessors to inject their own political opinions into their prayers. “Lord, help David
Cameron to realise that not everyone is as rich as he is” or “Lord, make people grateful that
Theresa May is the best prime minister since Winston Churchill” would not be prayers. They
are excuses for the person praying to give everyone else the benefit of their views. To be
fair, these are hypothetical examples, but I have heard something similar. Likewise, “Lord,
we ask that Saturday’s concert at 7.30pm here in church may get better support than last
time” is not a prayer but a subversion of the week’s notices.
My own view is that most people’s attention span is brief, so that our minds easily
wander in the prayers. Sharply-focused intercessions help to hold our attention. It can be a
difficult balancing act to keep praying faithfully for areas of need, such as Syria and the
refugees without making the congregation groan inwardly at “that prayer yet again”. Our
personal prayers can be limited to “me” and my immediate concerns, which our heavenly
Father does indeed care about, whereas in church we expect a broader perspective.
We have the Monday prayer circle at All Saints at which a wider number of people
are remembered than would be suitable at the main Sunday service. This, I personally
would say, is primarily for celebration, proclamation and sharing in the eucharist – with
some targeted intercession. A prayer group can be more leisurely and cover more ground,
taking it for granted that those attending are used to intercession and have come for that
specific reason. But let us always believe in our calling to prayer, and in its power.

A Prayer for the life of our Parishes and Churches
O God ,make the door of this church wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship; narrow enough to shut out envy ,pride and strife. Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling block for children, nor to straying feet, but rugged and strong to turn back the tempter’s power. God make the doorway of this house the entrance to your eternal kingdom. Amen
