SEASON OF PENITENCE
Services In Many "Churches
Will Continue Daily Until
Easter Eve.
"ThO new and far-reachlnff Influences
which havo :omo as a result of tho
evangelistic spirit In Philadelphia must
bo utilized," declared Ulshop Thomas J,
Qarland, In the first of tho noonday
Lenten services at St. Stephen's Church,
10th street, nbovo Chestnut street, today.
"Wo must help to strengthen the hands
of those who have borne the burden and
the hent of tho dny nnd who need our
assistance. It will bo unfortunate If this
Interest should provo to bo temporary.
Men's thoughts aro centred on religion;
emphasis Is placed on personal service,
nnd many hearts have been touched and
lives Influenced. Heretofore thero has
been too little attention Riven to evan
gelistic work and to tho needs of the
people,"
The reflex Influence of tho war In 13u
ropo hns nlded, he laid, In making keener
our appreciation of suffering In this city
nnd to teach people how "tho other
half" lives. He praised tho work of tho
Society for Organizing Charity nnd the
Emergency Aid Committee, which, he
Bald, are followng tho example of Christ
In not only preaching tho Gospel, but In
ministering' to tho bodily needs of tho
people.
Ho concluded with an appeal for co
operation. "We nil Justly condemn many present
conditions, religious, soclnl, economic, and
In doing so we condemn ourselves," ho
declared. "It It skepticism to think that
such, conditions will continue. They can
not If wo love our neighbors as ourselves. '

BISHOP AT 6ARRICK THEATRE
The Rt. Rov. P. M. Rhinelander
Speaks on Future's Cares.
Bishop Philip M. Rhinelander, of tho
Diocese of Pennsylvania, spoke on tho
future and the need of looking out for
Its development In his sermon nt tho
Qarrlck Theatre Lenten services. Briefly
he defined activity as a birthright nnd the
future as an Inheritance
Ho argued tho need of having the
future in mind at all times, and said
that one of the most Important periods
in the life of a man Is that when he
must finally decide of what nature his
activities shall be, and into what field
his endeavors shall lead him.
NEED HEROIC RELIGION
Rov. Dr. Washburn Preaches on Ne
cessity of Lent Today.
"Our human naturo needs a herolo re
ligion." declared tho Rev. Dr. Louis C.
Waahburn, rector of Old Christ Church.
Id street nbovo Market street, ln the first
of the noonday Lenten services.
"Mako It easy to do right nnd man will
not db It Just becnuse It Is easy; but mako
a man wnnt to do right and nothing can
hold him back from doing It. Character
comes not In n fit of absent-mlndodricss,
"Never was the hallowed season of Lent
more eagerly welcomed by us. Its search
ing message and sane methods aro deeply
needed In present conditions. And tho
Initial note which we would sound this
morning rings out from the Master's stir
ring challenge: 'The Kingdom of Heaven
BUffcreth violence and the violent take It
by force.' "
CATHOLICS AT SERVICES
Special Lenten Program at Church of
St. John tho Evangelist.
Several thousand worshipers took part
In services which were held at noon at
the Catholic Church of St. John the
Evangelist. As In all Catholic churches,
tho ""faithful" nocked to the altar rails
by the hundreds for the priests to an
nolnt their foreheads with tho sign of the
cross with ashes of blessed palms,
symbolic of the destiny of all men to re
turn to "dust and nshes."
Special half-hour services will be held
at the church on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays' of each week throughout the
"penitential senson."
Itov. J, William J. Lallou, pastor of the
church, presided at the Ash Wednesday
exercises and preached the sermon, which
waa on the "Naturo of Sin."
Tho speaker said that few men wero
willing to rate themselves as sinners and
were Inclined to excuse many of their
shortcomings. The drunkard, ho said,
wastes his time, money nnd health and
neglects his family. The libertine.- he
declared, follows low pursuits and leads X
innocence astray, iimaing vows -raise as
tha dicers' oaths." The thief embezzles
money, but all of these, according to the
speaker, declare "We are none of these,
we are sober, honest and decent,"
In concluding. Father Lallou said tin
Included many things which aro not
reached by the civil code.
Similar services and sermons were the
order of the day In all Catholic churches
of the city, the anointing with ashes
also being a special feature of the exer
cises. AT OLD ST. PAUL'S
Rev. J. De Wolf Perry, D. D., president
of the Standing" Committee of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Fennsyl
vanla, preached at the first noonday
Lepten service at Old St. Paul's. Sd
etreet below Walnut, today at 12:30. o'clock,
Doctor Perry chose tor his text two ques
tions used by St. Paul as the basis for a
Christian life. "Who are Thou Lord" and
"What wilt Thou have mo to do7" The
(wo questions, he said, should serve as
a guide, for every Christian's relation
with his Creator. The person who prop
erly answers these questions, ha said,
will have the proper Christian attitude to
ward life.
AT OLD ST? PETER'S
Old St. Peter's, at 3d and Pine streets,
was crowded at the first of the mid
day services. The service was presided
over by tha Rev. J. W. B. Stewart, the
reotor, who also delivered a sermon on the
spiritual opportunities of Lent. The

usually viewed from a material stand
point, whereas Lent issues a call to tho
spiritual side of man, and is one of the
greatest spiritual opportunities extended
