custom.
In the scriptures there is no men,
ton made of the observance of Lent
or of any time of fasting among
Christians. There Is historical proof,
however, that Lent in the general
sense preceding Easter has been
known from apostolic times.
For instance. Tertulbian in his
Montanist treatise on fasting, states
that according to his Catholic ad-
versaries those days were set apart
for fasting under the gospel dis
pensation in which the spouse was
