THE PRESBYTERIAN COLORS.
Perhaps there are very few who call themselves "Blue Presby- terians "-who really know why that color is given to them. "'Twas Presbyterian true blue," is found in Hudibras 1, 1. The allusion is to the blue apron which some of the Presbyterian preachers used to throw over their small, high pulpit-their "preaching tub," as it was called-before they began to address the people.
The term, "blue stocking," is quite misapplied to Presbyterians, as that has nothing to do with the church, but was applied to a social club formed in Venice in the year 1400-distinguished by the color of their stockings. This club appeared afterwards in Paris, and later in England, and finally disappeared entirely in 1840.
When Presbyterians say they are "true blue "-" dyed in the wool," they refer to a blue cloth and thread made at Coventry, noted for its permanent dye-and blue or azure is the symbol of divine eternity.
The old Covenanters wore blue as their badge in opposition to the scarlet of the royalty. They based their choice on Numbers xv. 38, "Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them make fringes in the borders of their garments, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribbon of blue."
In one of the Rump songs we read of a person going to hear a lee- ture, and the song says :
Where I a tub did view, Hung with an apron blue ; 'Twas the preachers, I conjecture.
REV. JOHN ROAN'S SCHOOL.
The Rev. John Roan had a Theological school in the neighborhood of Derry, at the which were instructed the Rev. Samuel Eusebius McCorkle, Rev. Joseph Montgomery, a member of the Continental Congress, and Rev. William Graham, founder of Washington and Lee University, Virginia, than whom none are more celebrated in the annals of the Presbyterian Church in America. EDITOR.
