THE BEGINNING OF LENT.
Ash Wednesday obseryed in Catholic
and Episcopal Churches.

Lent has begun. Yesterday the devoutly
inclined in Catholic and Episcopal churches
dorhed the penitential garb and re
nounced gayety for the next forty days.
In the Catholic churches of the city Ash
Wednesday was observed with the custom
AIRY mass. in which the foreheads of the
faithful are marked with ashes. while the
priest recites in Latin the solef1n words.
Remember. man, thou art but dust, and
unto dust thou shalt return"
For the six weeks extending from yes
terday to Easter Sunday, which falls upon
April Is. special devotions will be held in
all Catholic churches. These will consist
for the first five weeks of two services, the
one devoted to the recitation Of the rosary
and benediction of the sacrament. and the
other the following of the stations Of the
cross and benediction.
Sermons viii be delivered In the various
churches by the best preachers. These SER
mons will embrace a complete course de-
voted TO the exposition of and reflections
upon the passion and sufferings OF Christ
At St Matthews the Rev. Father Lee will
deliver a dissertation, and the Rev. DR.
Stafford viii preach at St. Patricks.
The last week of Lent, known as Pas
sion Week. will be marked by especially
solemn services, including the "Tenebrae'
and Mass of the Pre- anctified."
All the Episcopal churches throughout
the city held special services yesterday,
and will continue to do SO throughout Lent
on Wednesdays, and Fridays, in addition
to the regular daily services. The circular
issued by Bishop Satterlee calls attention
to the passage in the Prayer Book which
requires ''sucif a measure of abstinence IA
is more especially suited to extraordinary
acts and exercises of DEVOTION"
While these two denominations. institute
special observasces for Lent. the season
will be observed by Christians generally
as a time of prayer and abstinence from
worldly entogmeuts.
