IT Il true that religion Is not a matter
of especial days or weeks or months. It
Is also true that from the beginning
the Christian Church has set apart a
specific time for the worship OF God. 1t
did so when It set aside Sunday for the
Jewish Sabbath for the first Sabbath was
purely rest day"
In Palestine at first, there was but one
place Of worshp-the Temple at Jeru-
salenl-until the time came OF providing
for public worship, as towns and cities
multiplied. This widened the devotional
feeling.
Lent may or may not have fast with
in Its six weeks probation, but simply
can be made to stand for a period OF alb
stinence from worldly gayety, religious
meditation. and closer attention to the
quleter duties Of the home. AS Sunday
Is TO the week, Lent can he TO the whole
year. without exgggeration: or on the
other hand, without too much outer sane
LITIGATION, toward which there is a growing
tendency. and which is no more true
religion than was the old bleeding
laceratIon of Medieval days. Sometimes.
indeed, 1t brings reproach upon more
earnest followers. | knew a women in
one OF our large cities who kept Lent In
such an extraYagant and ultra-fashion-

one to believe that she was better
than the hottest kind OF Lent. Nobody
ever thought the poor thing carried such
a terrible burden OF sin upon her fair
shoulders. Judging from the severity
OF her penitentIal infections. IL must
have been a heavier weight OF woe than

THE FLIGHT OF TINE

Pancakes and the English Custom
The Lenten Season and Some OBJ
Case-A Bone of Contention.
Correspondence of the Dlspatch.)


ALTON, VA, February 2.-When
Tony Weller, ST.. assured the younger
Weller that once his stepmother began
going down hill she went ''vid q velocity
YOU never see" he aptly expressed the
flight OF time. Nothing brings home 30
us this sharp realization SO well as the
velocity with which the annual hap
oenings Of facts or festivals roll around.
1t is Lent again, and yet 1t seems but
yesterday that we dotted our sombre robes
and ways for the light OF the world.
They have an odd custom here, doubt
less brought over by the hardy Eng
lish or Scotch settlers OF the Valley, Of
eating pancakes on Shroye Tuesday.
without really knowing anything OF the
day or as to how the custom originated.
Its observance, however, has changed
greatly for the better. In the ancient
chronicles less is said about the eat
ing OF pancakes than Of the ceremony
OF throwing them. On Shrove Tues
day in England the procession IL headed
by some official carrying his silver wand
Of Office. He is followed by the chief
cook" who is Rex of the festival, and
who bears In his hand frying-pan, and
In the frying-pan huge pancake. After
an incarnation the cook whirls the pan
three times around his head, and losses
the pancake away. The catcher Is en-
titled to a guinea from the Town Council
Football and Shrove Tuesday also ap-
pear to have some intimate connection.
The battle OF Dorking' rs played on this
day, and the bail kicked up the main
streets OF the town. where the shops are
all closed and the windows barricaded.
AS TO, LENT.
Lent, which came In on Wednesday, Is
analogous to the paschal fast OF the
Jews. Its observance was known in this
Latin church from about the third CEN
fury, but was characterized by extreme
austerity and self-penance; when the
penitents marched barefoot over rough
roads, and covered with sackcloth. with
blood dripping from brows encircled and
pierced with thorny crowns. 1t is scarce
ly 10 be wondered at, remembering
the former horrors done In its name.
that for centuries a large body Of the
Church Militant looked askance at the
observance OF Lent. Even q few years
ago the custom Of keeping Lent was not
as general as II Is now; but the world.
Just Hike the good individual OF what
ever creed he favors has grown chsrita-
bic with age TIL, In the present CEN
fury good people everywhere keep Pc

way or the other. without conjunction.

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-02-23

here has been bitterly cold and biting
wind from the northwest has blown con-
tinuously. There has been much suffer-
ing among the live stock In the county,
especially among the sheep and lambs.
This is Just the lambing season. and
numbers OF the newly-born lambs have
frozen to death. One farmer reports
having lost over seventy, and many others
have suffered almost as severely. This
is very discouraging TO those who make
a business Of keeping many sheep, as
they always count largely upon the lambs
they raise for The spring markets for
the profits they expect to make. the
lambs netting them from 81 to 81 per
head In a good season.
