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

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?"

Must 1 ho old "Scientist" Go?
War, according to the New York Sun, Is
being waged In England against the use, .
of the word scientist. The Puke of Ar
gyll, Sir John Lubbock, Lord llajlcigli,
Ijord Kelvin and Professor Huxley unre
servedly condemn the word; Blr John
Lubbock proposes philosopher -Instead; '
Lords ltaylelgh and Kelvin prefer natur
alist. Professor Huxley thinks that
scientist must be about an pleasing as
electrocution to anyone who respects tho ,
English language. Grant Allen, whll
disapproving of tho word, thinks It is
pedantry to object to a new word when It
Is used by a majority of persons; after
the camels of altruism and sociology. '. '
scientist Is comparatively a gnat. Alfred
Wallace alone Is not disturbed by .the
word: ho describes It as useful, and nr-, g
gues thnt, slnco we have biologist, geolog-
1st, chemist, physicist nnd specialist, ws
might as well uso scientist, nnd he nsks
further: "What Is there to uso Instead?"
Bcleneo Gossip Bays tho word was llrst
Invented and used by Whewell In his
"Philosophy ot the Inductive Sciences" la
1819.
