The END OF LENT.-The forty DAYS fas, of
Lent will end tomorrow. The next day will be
Easter, when throughout Christendom will be
joyfully celebrated the wonderful fact that Je-
sus Christ, who was crucified, died aud was
buried, arose from the dead and walked upon
earth for forty days. The great event is observ-
ed more especially in the Roman Catholic and
Episcopal churches, which are usually decorat-
ed with flowers, fit emblems, after the gloom of
winter, ofthc resurrection. The services ure al
so made as bright and joyous as possible.
To-day is Good Friday, the most solemn day
in the calendar of the church The churches
contain emblems of mourning, and the services
which are OF a peculiarly impressive character,
are intended 10 recall to the minds of deyout wor-
shippers the awful scene on Calvary, when the
Son of God, in human foim, was tortured to
death upon the cross.
