day, the beginning Of the I.ente,, season.
About nineteen-twentietl,s Of tile
Christian world, Including the Protes-
tant- Episcopal, the Greek, the Roman
Catholic and a part 81 the Lutheran
church, observe Lent with more or less
strictness. Tie season continues. forty
days, exclusive Of Ss.bb.ths, and is OBJ
served in comlnemoration ct our Lord $
forty days fasting in the wilderness.
1t is 50 ARA getl as to terminate with
the Easter Festival, All occasion of
great rejoicing and adornmemt of
churches among those who observe
Lent. The season is observed by fire.
quent and special church services. by
abstainimg from meats and all hurt
full amusements, by frequent fasting.
by reading religious books only, and,
above all, by frequent prayer. 1t is un-
derstood to be the season of self-denial
and in the churches which observe it
is called Il revival season. We have
known cleryymen of the Baptist and
other denominations which do not OBJ
serve Lent, to put themselves during
this season upon !. course Of more than
usu Il self-tlemial and humiliation, for
the great physical and spiritual benefit
which, is undoubtedly to be derived
from the observance of Lent.
