SIGNIFICANCE OF LENT

The word lent comes from the An

being the period of the year when the
days perceptibly grow longer. Ac

Phrase and Fable, lent was introduced
into the church calendar in the 4th
century A. d. 1t then consisted of sc

even fish being forbidden on the table
and only one meal a day being taken
Lent is still observed rather strictly
by the Catholics, and less so by the
Episcopalians, the matter of fasting
being largely optional however.
The idea of a lenten or spring
fasting and abstinence season is much
older than the Christian religion,

is, to Babylonian beginnings at least.

The next day Telatha, taking her
pans down from the shelves at the usu-
al hour, spied Cephas coming up the
lane. He was floundering through the
deep snow, much encountered with
parcels CT all sorts and sizes. Telatha
looked at him in some surprise as he
came in and dumped the bundles in a
heap on the floor. There was an air
of determination about him that was
rather new.
Now, lock here, Te1athy," he be-
gan. opening one of the bundles.

He held up plaster of paris shep-

and Telatha went composedly lack to
her skimming.
There had been time when Cephas
Wheeler had asked Telatha the ques-
ton he was evidently intending to put
to the Widow Payne. But that was 10
years ago, and Telatha could not at
that time leave her father, who was
falling from day to day. So nothing
had come of it, except that Cephas ap-
peared to deduce the conclusion that
since Telatha had refrEed him herself,
she was bound to provide for him in
some other way, to which end he had
brought all his affairs to her for adj
justment these many years. These af-
fairs were mostly of the sentimental
sort, fer Cephas was continually "get-
ting his eye" as he expressed it, on
some particular charmer of Eden
township. But somehow they all
proved unsatisfactory on a closer ac-
quaintance, though more than one had
shown decided favor to the village
beau, who owned two farms and a
house at the Cross Roads.
This last affair, however, promised
to be more serious The Widow Payne
was rs, and a beauty, and she had
money in the bank.
