A NON.sECTARIAN LENT.


BY the circling of the church yeal
the overwhelming body of Christianity
is brought to the Lenten season once
more. 1t matters little, indeed it is
positively of no concern at all, just
what this Lenten period stands for
whether as typifying the 40 years
wandering of the Israelites, or the AZ
days period of our Lords fasting in
the wilderness. The Lenten fast is
one of the old institutions of the Chris
tian Church, and it is with this fact
that we have to do. 1t is difficult to
see how any one can refuse to admit
the accruing advantages of this season
We may grant, as we do grant, that
fasting is not commanded in the New
Testament that the one passage upon
which it is based is doubtless interpo.
lated, and that the evidence is espe.
cially strong because only one Gospel
contains it, and only one manuscript of
that Gospels This may be granted
and yet the season may be pro6tably
observed. For fasting is not all that
there is of Lent, nor is it the CHIEF
thing. The chief characteristics that
make the Lenten season profitable
for all are its seclusion from the
social dissipation and from the pur-
suits of mere pleasure, and the op.
portunities for religious worship
which it offers the devout. OF
course in a sense these opportuni.
ties always abound. But they are pc
culiarly emphasized when by general
agreement society pauses, when the
whirl of amusement is stopped and
people say to themselves and 10 others
ave will stop our pleasure hunting
awhile and seek communion with God
in the services of his sanctuary u
Much is meant by such a movement
and indeed this is precisely what the
week of prayer of the evangelical al.
lance stands for, although the obser'
vance of the period is limited, and the
religious services, CONSTRUCTED to the
evening, are growing fewer with each
recurrence of new year. We may
have our Lenten season although we
may not feel called upon to fast. We
can join our fellow Christians in the
observance of period of religious de.
votion, in the agreement to seek repose
from party going, from engaging in
the thousand and one forms of amuse.
ment which the inventiveness of So
ciety provides. 1t certainly is an i'm.
pressive sight to see society turning
away from the pursuit of pleasure and
seeking the churches. Let Christians
then, of whatever denomination, unite
with their fellow Christians in observ.
ing this period whose right improve
ment will bring profit to every devout
soul. Enter the temples of your Epis'
copal friends where those of your own
denomination are closed, and get that
measure of spiritual refreshment which
comes to every devout soul in putting
aside for a time the pleasures of the
world and seeking communion with
God, the Father of all mercies.-Chris'
tian Work Qnd.), New York.

H6- Many of the men who used to
be largely interested in the culture of
oranges in Florida, are beginning to
believe that the blighting frost of a
few years ago may have been some
what of the nature of a blessing in
disguise. They say, for example, that
this seasons strawberry crop in Pasco
county will bring to the growers twice
as much money as they ever realized
from the oranges grown there in one
