G9WE are passing through the season
of Lent, those forty days and nights of
tribulation, when abstinence from Teasing
and worldly friyolities is supposed to gov
cru our movements, and when unselfish-
ness, charity and loving kindness should
enter into our Composition; but these
things are now "more honored in the
breach than observance" and the good
old days of yore, when there was time
for all things, has given place to selfish
ness, and that all-absorbing thirst for gain
and filthy lucre. Lent is of but little ac-
count in the estimation ofthe people of the
present day. 1t is not keeping Lent to
fast simply, to quit the dish of flesh and
look downcast and melancholy, but as
Herrick says,
1t is fast to dole
Thy sheaf Of wheat,
And meat,
Unto the hungry soule.
1t is to fast from strife,
From old debate,
And hate;
To circumcise thy lifei
To show heart grief rent,
To starve thy sin,
Not bin,
And that's to keep thy Lent.
