R Wider Lent and Its Observance Why Not a General Observance by All Christian Churches? U'AFTIXGS FROM THE CHOIRS Summary of a Week's Procress In the City Churches-Work of Christian En deavored and Other Auxiliaries. Personal .Mention of Interest. During1 all the Christian centuries It has been customary in certain churches for the religious to keep forty days at this season of the year In remem brance of the fact that our Lord faster forty days and forty nights in the wil derness. In all the historical parts of the Christian church Lent hus been oliserved, with greater or less risldity, as a season of religious discipline, and in those religious organizations that have grown up since the reformation. If L.ent has not been recognized at Its former value, ; an attempt has been made to secure a periodical observance which should be used to deepen the religious life and bring the people to a consciousness of their sins. The spirit of Lent has thus been widely accepted as a right and proper method of dealing with religious life. It lies between Christmas and Easter, and cul minates In the latter festival, which is the symbol of resurrection and Im mortality. Why should there not, therefore, be a wider observance of Lent? The ob servance In the Kplscopal, the Roman Catholic nnd Lutheran churches, and to some, extent In 1'reHhyterian circles, Is to be counted on, but there are larger bodies of Christian people who know nothing about the use of the f Christian seasons, and who , have never been trained to think of their value In giv ing variety and strength to a Christian life. It Is suggested, with all deference, that a large numberof people can prob ably observe Lent, who have not honX tofore given It attention, and who, It Is submitted with equal deference, sufTer grea-tly In, their 'religious lire from .the want of variety and freshness In the presentation of the different points of duty and service. What a glorious opportunity Is nf fordod to a great many pastors of Meth odist. Congregational, Presbyterian nnd liaptlst congregations If they should nr range among their own people a prac tical observance of Lent, although not necessarily upon the lines laid down by the Kplscopal, Iloman Catholic or Lu theran churches. To a pastor endowed with powers of organization there Is a field for Illimitable work among, nnd for the benefit bf, the members of his congregation. iA deepened Interest In practical religion Is always sure to come to Individuals who keep Lent by attendance at church nnd by the mora practical observance of tho duties of Christian living. Forms of Observance. The question of fasting need not, necessarily, be entertained, but there are other methods by which the young men, for Instance, could bo attracted. It would not be expedient to. dictate to the experienced pastors of Scranton any duties in this respect, but an In dication, of what could be accomplished can be given without fear of offense. In what way can Lent be observed Cream Shaker Flannel, 2Kc Calico, indigo blue, 3'4C Oil Cloths, best quality, - 0nly2V2C 29c, - Only 19c without violating any form of belief, or acting- detrimental to the interests of their particular church? It Is ;i well known, and an uncontested fact, th:it there is a large number of young people In the city who have fallen into the de plorable habit of neglecting the Sunday morning services, thus commencing the Sabbath very Inuuspiciotisly. Why not ask them during Lent to Impart some freshness into their religious life by getting out of the unfortunate habit and making a special effort during this season to attend all services. It would be a special endeavor with permanent results in the majority of cases. There are many young men In the city congregations who are not ab stainers from intoxicants, yet who would be highly offended wen; It sug gested that they could not, with case, break away from the habit. Why not, during Lent, make the experiment, and ascertain how far they are masters over their own desires? There are many who regularly drop their ii-eent pieces, but who can easily afford more. Why not, durlmf Iout, auk them to subscribe a deiinite sum for a specific object of charity or church work? It is a season of sacrifice and affords a great opportunity for giving liberally and Just so much that the sacrliree will be felt. What a. noble opportunity Is also presented for personal work In finding out the distressed, the sick and the needy, anil making a -special effort for their relief? What a m.-ignlllceut op portunity for. every scholar to en deavor to bring one more member to the Sunday school? All could not suc ceed, but what glorious work would be aeeomplh'.hcd In an honest endeavor? The scholar would profit by personal experience nnd the school would prolit by Increased numbers and greater op portunities. How many could pledge themselves to a closer adherence to daily prayers, who, at present, neglect them? How many evil habits could bo. corrected? Truly, In every respect, Lent abounds with the most glorious and grand opportunities to awaken the spiritual life of the church, and to greet the dawn of Easter with fresh hopes. new usplrntlons and stronger resolves. Then "Why not a wider Lent?" I.eutcn Scrvlces. A large number of the city churches are busily engaged with the special ser vices for the due observance of the solemn season of Lent.
