ming of the Lenten season, instituted by the
primitive church in the second century in
commemoration of Our Lords forty
days of fasting and temptation in the wilder
ness 1t has been constantly observed by the
American and Romish churches as a season es-
pecially devoted to prayer and fasting and alb
stinence from amusementa. The Romish
church observes the Lenten season with con-
siderable severity, the daily food of the people
being the subject of ecclesiastical regulation.
Although the two churches named above are
the only ones in our section of the country that
observe the fast, its influence is more and more
and more felt each year upon the New England
community.

CUMBERLAND AssoCIATIoN.-The members
OF this body of congregational ministers, met
yesterday morning at the Second church. The
reports on the state of religion in the churches
were first given. These were of gratifying
character. Us
In the afternoon an elaborate easy was read
on the nature Of moral obligation. The various
theories were stated and that which makes the
ground of right, immutable and eternal was
sustained by arguments from analogy, con-
science and will as well from its relations to the
Divine government
An interesting and highly eulogistic review
of Murrays Park street sermons was presented
and in the evening public discourse from Gen
esis, 81 was preached by Rev. j. J. Abbott of
Yarmouth, followed by brief addresses by Rev.
Messrs. Byington of Brunswick and Bean of
Gray. There was good attendance and the
exercises were ably sustained.

LECTURES ON THE MIcRosCoPE.-The peo-
pie of Portland are offered rich intellectual
treat in the course of scientific lectures which
Rev Mr.. Bodies will begin tonight at Fluent
Hall, and it is hoped that the gentleman will
be welcomed by a very large congregation of
his friends. Those who have read the an
nouncement of these lectures with the impress
sion that the subject cannot be made popular
or instructive, have conceived an erroneous
idea. Mr.. Bodies is not only close and exact
student of many of the sciences, but is gifted
as many of our people already know, with a
remarkable power of description, perspicuous
style and fuency of diction; capable of making
any subject he undertakes pleasing and en-
tightening. The Salem Observer thus speaks
of his lecture on 'Life," delivered in that city
recently: r-s
The lecturer unfolded in very brilliant and
attractive style the theory of physical forma-
ton, together with the development and growth
of vegetable and animal life. The subject was
rendered doubly attractive with striking and
beautiful illustrations thrown upon a large
screen by the microscope and magic lantern.
1t is very rare that miscellaneous audience
has the patience to listen attentively to sci
entific address of ordinary length but in this
case every nearer seemed held by spell of fas-
cination for two hours. Interest and admira-
ton was the manifest impression upon all.
The rapid, impassioned utterance, the freshness
and vigor of thought, the wonderful command
combined with an evident mastery of his theme,
afforded perpetual charm and surprise, as en-
Pertaining and instructive as it was delightful
to hear.
