that law? Well. it is the law of God! 1t
is also the law of duty.
Did you ever hear of the case Of Capt,
huffman of the ship Aidar? He was
good sailor and gallant master and no
matter what many may think, it is pos
sible to be both! His ship foundered, but
he refused to be taken off? There was an
injured man on board. and while the old
timbers were going to pieces under his
very feet he knelt down and said to the
man:

THE friend shook his head in aston

chance for Swede?'
Why, yes, even for Swede ! didn't
care whether he was a Swede or a Lap
lander. He was a good sailor and would
have done the same for me had things
been reversed"
Nor is that all, young man. There was
a shipwreck about As, but the name OF
the craft had escaped my memory. The
crew took to one boat, which was over
crowded. A noble Newfoundland, the pet
OF the ship, swan alongside the boat. All
the men turned their eyes sadly upon
him, but they knew there was no room
for him in that boat. The captain loved
that dog better than he loved his life
and he stood up in the boat as he took
oil his coat and said:

him my place in the boat. / can hold on

pected that those who avail OF this indult
will endeavor 10 enter into the spirit of
the holy season Of Lent by voluntary acts
of modification and penance. A most
useful and commendable custom Is that Of
abstaining during Lent from stimulauts,
in honor of the sacred thirst of our divine
Savior.

The annual season of Lent begins on Ash
Wednesday, and terminates on Easter
day. the season this year being thirteen
days later than in 1896 The latest day
upon which this festival of our Lords re-
surrection can possibly fall is April

a week earlier than the latest possible
date. 1t will probably bring the churches

ing of spring all can look forward to an
unusually beautiful Easter.
II has frequently been asked why does
Easter vary so much In dateY for 1t can fan
as early as March q, and also as late as
April %. The reason is that it depends
upon the occurrence Of the Paschal full
moon
The first full moon after the 14th of the
Jewish month Nissan. This occurs very
late this year, so that Easter falls upon
the 18th of April and this, of course, reg
