tendency of the religious life of
the day is toward that which is
practical; yet here is a drift
toward something which, in the
minds of many persons, is asso-
ciated with ritualism. Men and
women who belong to none of
the churches which formally OBJ
serve Lent now modify their
habits considerably during the
period of forty days, to conform
to this ancient Christian fast.
These may not follow any of the
rules in regard to strict fasting,
or even to sustaining from meat,
but they do make changes in
their daily habits which are quite
as significant.
In many of the large cities
there are daily Lenten services
in churches so situated as to
attract business men. Brokers
leave their tickers for an hour at
noon, and spend the time in
listening to a brief address.
Sunday congregations are larger
and attendance at places of
amusements is smaller.
The explanation is doubtless
simple. It is that other churches
besides those which have been
mentioned, and perhaps persons
outside of churches, have begun
to feel that it is good to give a
part of the year especially to the
life of the soul and to spiritual
things; to recall the fasting and
temptations and the last earthly
days of the Master, and to reded.
icate their aims and ambitions.
The age, so far from being one
which encourages theological or
ecclesiastical differences, is i'm
patient and needless of them.
Men of all creeds are becoming
enough to recognize a
custom, no matter in
what church they find it, and to
adopt every custom that makes
for purity of life and spiritual
advancement.

WEDNESDAY. MARCH Is, 1905.
THE BATON ROUGE ROAD.

There is an old saying that
opportunity knocks once at
every mans gate, but in these
twentieth century days it is out
of fashion to wait for the knock.
He. who would succeed must find
or create his own opportunities.
And that is exactly what we of
Lafayette should do. find or
create opportunities for the
growth and development of the
towns We have a progressive
league; let it's president call the
members together, and then all
together earnestly and deter.
minedly set to work to do some
thing.
A fair start was made towards
the building of the Baton Rouge

the matter again and carry it as
far as possible. Obstacles look
very big sometimes. but when at
tackled in the proper spirit, they
often dwindle to insignificant
proportions, and though the road.

And then keep ON trying till we
get it.

THE LIQUOR F

In the conviction that the
highest mission of the press is
to serve humanity by encourag-
ing the good and opposing the
evil in this life, the present
owners of The Advertiser have
steadfastly refused to lend the
aid of the advertising columns of
this paper for extending the
harmful influence Of the liquor
traffic and the quack medicine
trade, both of which agencies
are actively and effectively at
work undermining the health
and the happiness of the human
family.
Every intelligent person knows
that alcohol is q brain poison
and that, as such, it is q most
fruitful source of crime, misery,
insanity and pauperism. In
proof of this charge we need
only to consult the records in
every civilized country of penal
institutions, insane asylums,
almshouses and poorhouses,
which show that the downfall Of
ffom eighty to ninety per cent
ct the inmates is traceable to
STRONG drink.
The liquor traiic by striking
ct the intelligence and morals Of
the people becomes . powerful
foe Of progress and civilization,
and the saloon, as the recognized
institution for pandering to the
weak side Of humanity and allur-
ing and educating men, women
and children to use alcohol in
the form Of intoxicants, becomes
the. most deadly enemy Of the
home and the family.
