Susie Williams Stoddard writes to the Elmira Advertiser: The observance of Lent in this country is mostly confined to the Roman Catholic and the Episcopal churches. Rut we do not see why they should have a monopoly of the fast. If there is re'ally any spiritu al profit to be derived from this custom of the Christian Church, which is unques tionably of very ancient origin, we see no reason why the members of other churches should exclude themselves from its benefits. Now although we do not find in Scripture any authorative com mand to fast forty days and forty nights at this particular season of the year any more than we do to eat fish on Friday, yet there are very good inferential reasons for doing so, and the Bible furnishes at least three examples of forty days fasting in Moses, Elijah and Jesus. But whether it be a solemn duty in cumbent upon every professing Christian this much at least may be said of it, —the reflex influence on every individual who practices self-denial even for the short period of our conventional Lent, is un doubtedly wholesome and beueflcial. Every endeavor to attain a higher level of living and thinking is a splendid effort in the right direction. Therefore, we say we are in favor of observing Lent, not necessarily in the manner of the two churches referred to, that of denying ourselves the food which is the usual sup port of the physical system, but of all that nourishes the gross and evil tenden cies of our natures. For instance, many well meaning Chris tians permit themselves to be carried away by the popular amusements of the day to the sacrifice of their intellectual and spiritual development. Let such fast from these recreations and turn for a time to the graver obligations of this life, which may prepare them for the life to come. Among professing Christians we some times meet one having a temper which, even with the exercise of the greatest vigilance, at times surprises him into mortification and chagrin. Let such prayerfully avoid everything that may tend to excite this passion for forty days and so literally starve it into subjection. Again we have known Chiistians to treasure up malice against an evil-doer for years, little thinking that they were building up a barrier between themselves and Him who said, "First be reconciled to thy brother." Let such give these un holy thoughts a forty days' fast, and ten to one the bitterness will be removed and sweeter and holier thoughts will take its place. Others —and we are sorry to make these a vast number —put them selves on an unseemly level with 11011 professors, by listening to and joining in idle and vulgar stories and jokes, best ap preciated by their 'associates, thereby losing their Christian dignity and worse than all their entire influence over them for good. Let such Christians keep them selves aloof from a pastime so pernicious and give this Satanic propensity a forty days' fast. Yea, if they put in the whole of 1881 so much the better. God would bless tliem and his name be glorified thereby. We might speak of the Christian fault finder, the Christian gossip, the Chris tian Sunday breaker, and fill a whole col umn with the weaknesses of poor human ity, but we forbear. From the above hints some one will recognize his beset ting sin and thus be led to guard agaiust its indulgence. Let us then wage an unprecedented war with Satan, and fast as we never fasted before, and we may hope that God will vouchsafe to us a glorious triumph before we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord on Easter day. Senator Voorhees offered the following resolution in the U. S. Senate Tuesday.
