Edward and Farmyile i'm the expense |
Of macadam road from here to Hamp- |
deu-Sidney, and he believed that the
work could be accomplished without
the issuing Of bond. Capt Burton
spoke with emphasis regarding the
public roads, aud said that while they
were in deplorable condition the
streets of Farmvile were equally as
bad if not worse.
On motion of Major A. r.. Nenable
the sense Of the meeting was taken as
TO whether or not The supervisor from

There is no sign ofretrogression about
this; for the underlying principle Of the
old Lent seems to have been concern
about oneself. 1t was by no means an
imitation Of the great soul whom it
is supposed to reflect. He grew, if pos
sible, more earnest as the end drew
near; but he attended this celebration
and that, he cheered his disciples by the
way he ate and he drank, he went calm
ly to his earthly doom. There may
have been at one time fasting of forty
days and forty nights in preparing for
his LIES work on the earth, but there
was no such term of preparation for
the world hereafter,

Let us without a moments hesitation
rejoice that the old Lent Of sack-cloth
and ashes, the old Lent of outer ragged
ness and snowy neglect of self, the old
Lent Of abstention from earth's plea
sures, the return to them having the
greater zest after forty days of denial
is passing into the garrett of disused and
misused ideas. There let it stay, to-
getherwith other vague interpretations
of Gods will-like the Strengthening Of
heretics, compulsion in believing, Sab
bath sourness, damnation of infants
and all sorts Of man-made characters
ties that hide the great simple, center
truth that a Creator must love his crea-
lures
The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1899-04-14

Is this belief, sketched out so briefly,
wrong or right2 If right even in part
let us rejoice. If wrong in part let Us
still cling to the belief that such things
shall be some day for according to our
beliefs so are we moulded, and accord
ing as we are SO in large measure are
our neighbOrs. No barking back to for
mer ages as "betterlday" is fitting
The present is forming The feature, and
every living soul who reads may help
to bring the New Lent into actual ex-
istence.

And what else? The New Lent pays
less and even less attention TO forms
and ceremonies and more TO the reali-
ties of religion. 1t makes increasingly
less demand fora denominational label

our understanding Of God less to the

What then l.; the New Lent? 1t is
neither limited by clocks nor by moons,
By clothes nor by churchy DEGREES.
There are no times and seasons for do
ing right, nor for holding self in check,
The watch in your hand is not the
guide as to when the time for doing
good is near. The time is now, and will
endure till the last conscious breath
leaves the weary body. The New Lent
is the age we live in, and that age is
not judged as to its goodness by the
use of either fish, flesh nor fowl.
The religion Of living for Others is the
spirit Of the New Lent. 1t is seen in
the increasing pervasion of society, with
a desire to serve. 1t accounts for col
lege men and women spending their
lives and their splendid accomplish
ments among the squalid and the poor,
1t accounts for the children of fortune
turning away from the fripperies Of
wealth and the falsities of social hum
bug to the uplifting Of the ideas and
ideals of their poorer sisters-by such
probabilities as cooking classes, nurs-
ing classes and classes in first aid to
the injured or the sick or tbelpoisoned.
1t is seen in the clearer understanding
that a life given to the service OF the
least of the little ones Of the great hu-
man family is not lost" but is simply
part of the great demand of all upon
all for the best Of all that our hands
and hearts and souls can do. 1t is the
spirit of the New Lent that will make
a lusty fireman, with wife and children
dependant upon him, 20 fearlessly into
danger and to death in order to save a
frail invalid who would die shortly I'M
der any circumstances. 1t is the New
Lent that believes no expenditure too
great in order to add n moments hap
piness to the worlds afflicted ones.

Conversation.
Death Of DR.. A. Clark Deakyne.

DIR. A. Clark Deakyne, formerly of
this vicinity, died Sunday morning at
his home, No. 916 Spruce street, Phil
adelphia, from a complication of dis
eases. For many years he was a we'll
know practitioner in that city, but dur
the last few years i'll health has COM
PEELED him to give up any active prac-
tice of his profession. DIR. Deakyne
was born near Collins Beach, 1882,
and graduated from the old Pennsyl-
yania Medical College, Philadelphia,
in 1853. DIR. Deakyne was active in
ward and general charities and in
evangelistic work. In and unosten-
tatlous way he took deep interest in
Republican politics.
DIR. Deakyne was the son of Geo.
Deakyne. of Thoroughfare Neck,
where he was born and spent his bow
hood days. He was married to Miss
Annie Clark of Philadelphia, by whom
he had three children all of whom died
In early life, He leaves three brothers
and one sister; Geo. O. Deakvna
Joseph B. Deakyne, VIM. Charla,
Deakyne, of Thoroughfare Neck. and
Mrs. Mary A. Richards of Chester
Pa. Interment was made in Philadal
phia this morning.

paths; or with the doubt and hesita-
tion that seizes one about to enter
upon the strife when he finds himself
armed with a new and strange weapon.
We are impelled, however, by an
urgent and long g-existing necessity,
which no longer be avoided without
lncurrlng the imputatiOn of party neg
Egence. With the exception of the
Milford Chronicle there has been no
Union Republican paper in Sussex
county. The people have demanded
one more centrally located. This
paper, which will be known as The
Union Republican, has been estab-
lished therefore, in response. to
that demand. The Union Republican
Party, whose interests it will defend is
a strong and victorious party, power
full and compact in organization, in
spired by new aspirations as to public
needs, and with new ideas as agencies
to supply them, unfettered by old Obli-
cations to corporate or individual in
terests, to waken its devotion to those
of the cOmmunity-young, confident,
and determined to secure to the people
conditions that hinder and retard the
uGNGiODuGub VI Jul lCoOulOCOy
and deprive the people of their natural
measure of happiness and material
prosperity. 1t will be the aim of this
journal to defend the party it repre-
sents against the attacks of enemies
when defense is honorable and true,
and to attack its opponents on public
matters when attack is wise and justi
fed by proper regard for the public
welfare. 1t will be thoroughly indie
pendent. To this end its columns will
be open to those who may desire to
discuss public questions, and no con-
siderations of self-interest or coward
ice will cause us to swerve from this
determination. We have no ideals in
this new venture. We desire to secure
and maintain a reputation for honor
able and truthful statement; for, if we
are able, argumentative and logical
discussion, for clean and courteous
journalism. For false pretence, for
political hypocrisy, for law abuse, for
vile inuendo, and untrue statement
this journal will have little respect,
and hesitation in instant attack and ex-
pOsure. With this statement of pur-
pose and desire we make our saluta-
tions to our fellows in the lists and
ask the favorable consideration of the
public"
