sEPTUAGEsiMA SUNDAY.
1t Marks the Approach of Lent-Penl-
tentiaI CoIors.

In the liturgical churches today is
called Septuagesima Sunday. 1t marks
the approach of Lent, and from now
until Maundy Thursday of Holy week
the usual church colors will be ex-
changed for the penitential purple.
The word septuagesima means
seventy. An ecclesiastical authority
says that according the first council of
Orleans in the year 545, many pious
priests and lay persons of the primitive
church used to fast seventy days be-
fore Easter, and their fast was called,
therefore, Septuagesima, name which
was afterwards retained to distinguish
this from other Sundays.
The Gloria in Excelsis is omitted
from the Catholic mass from now until
Holy Thursday.

changes were only moderate in amount
and sub-treasury operations resulted in a
comparatively small gain to the banks,
this accounting for the light increase in
cash. Deposits increased $24577, 200 which
amount was only a little below the sum
of the expansion in loans. and the in
crease in cash, therefore the statement
made a good proof. The required reserve
against general deposits was augmented
$61H,300, deduetng from which the gain
in cash left $2,S9l,9O0 as the decrease in
surplus reserve to $15562, 800.
Computed upon the basis of deposits
less those of $l6,563,500 public funds, the
surplus is $19, 703675. Loans were ex-
banded $22,02S,10O probably the result
chiefly of loaning upon securities returned

DON'T TURN BACK

Most lives are filled with half fin
ished tasks which were begun with
enthusiasm, but which have been
dropped because the enthusiastic be.
g~inners did not have enough grit to
carry them to a conclusion. 1t does
not take much ability to begin a
thing and we cannot estimate a man
by the number of things he COM
mences.
The test of character is in a mans
ability to persist in what he under
takes until he adds the finishing
stroke. The ability to hold on is one
of the rarest OF human virtues, says
Home Chat.
Look out for the period in your
life when you are tempted to turn
back. There is the danger point, the
decisive period. All the great things
of history have been accomplished af-
ter the great majority of men would
have turned back.

HER "BEST FRIEND"

Some persons think coffee a rea,

HOME WORK in ENGLAND.

The select committee Of the Brit:
ish House of Commons in taking tes.
timony in regard to the control and reg
ulatioh of the conditions under which
home work is carried on heard the
evidence of the president of the Wo-
mems Trade Union League. She said
that the difficulty in organizing home
workers was due to the fact that they
were too poor to help themselves: This
witness mentioned the ease OF a We:
mar known to her who could only
earn rs cents a week by shirt making.
She mentioned the case of another
shirt maker who received only 81
cents a dozen for making shirts. The
witness produced blue cotton shirts
which were made for 1874 cents a
dozen. She said that without charit-
able subsidies or poor-law relief the
persons who accepted these low wages
could not exist.

1t costs much less to employ fem;

she can offer very valuable advice to
