ing fitting natural analogy. For the forty
days of fasting we have originally a physi-
cal cause Before the introduction of az
ricultural labors, men were principally de-
pendent, during the whole winter season, on
the results of the cha,e or the fishery In
the Orient the middle of winter is the
rainy season, aud the figure Of man with
watering pot (Aquarius) was placed in
the heavens by their astronomers, covering
that part of the Zodiac over which the sun
passed during the rainy season. This was
followed by the time for fishing, and couple
of fishes were thrown on the celestial m ap
to mark that period. On the Ecliptlc those
fishes cover just the space passed over BY
the sun in forty days, aud although now, by
the procession of the equinoxes, that con-
stellation has moved from it's former place,

those forty days they had but little fish to
subsist upon, aud during that forty days
the sun even now moves among, if he does
not subsist on fish. Whether this be
sufficient reason for the present day fasting
is question which must be left for others
to decide The rigor of observance has
much moderated in these latter days For
merly everything in the shape of flesh or
is products was abjured, and some of the
most rigid abstained even from fish, though
that was never prescribed by the cannons
