OF INTEREST TO
 CHURCH WORKERS

Following is the Lenten Pastoral. and the rules for the observance of the season:
 Dearly Beloved Brethern:
 We are about to enter upon the Pen itentfal season of Lent during which the Church urges her devoted chii- dren to turn to God with all their hearts and give Him their homage and their love. We ask you. beloved chill dren h Jesus Christ, to direct your thoughts to prayer and penance dur Ing this holy season. Jesus Christ. Our Lord is our model and our guide in all things. and he has shown Us by word and exampla that the road to Heaven is by the way or Psnance ana Modification. -Tf any man will come after me, let him deny himself. take xvi. 24. Unless you do penance. you shall all likewise perish" Luke. xviii.. 3. If Christ lasted forty days and forty nights. if the Apostles and the early disciples lasted to atone for their sins, ought we not to do ike wise? It is we'll attested fact that from Apostolic times. the Church has held fasting in honor and imposed 1t as an obligation on her children. wisely adapting her precepts to the needs and infirmities of human nature in every age.
 Some are prone to resent any in- terference with their liberty in regard to food, comfort or pleasure. These need the positiy law of the Church to enable them to rise superior to their love of self, their desire of ease and their eagerness for worldly pleas ure. The law of seif-deniai proeiaims the superiority of the spirit over the flesh and the necessity of doing penance to keep the latter in subjection to the former. If we cannot overcome our unwiIlingness to mortify ourselves, we may seriously question the sincerity of our sorrow for sin, while on the other hand, q little geneosity in doing pen ance and denying ourselves will obtain Gods mercy and strengthen us against habits of sin.
 We are not unmindful, Dear Brsth- ern, that not a few. from one cause or another, are altogether unable to observe the Lenten fast. even In It's present mitigated form, but although you are exempt from observing the strict letter of the law, you cannot Ignore it's spirit--you are bound to do penance in one form or another.
 Those among you who have turned away from God by grfeyous sin, should try at. this time to realize the fearful nature of sin and tho awful evils caus- ed by 1t and the means of avoiding 1t and being moved to remorse Of Gon- science for past infideiities return to God inumbly and sincerely for: "Be- hold. now is the acceptable time, be-
