is the secret of being strong, keeping
the pilgrim ways of Zion in the heart
How this world envelopes US. Money.
how it grows upon US. How hard for
a rich person to be decently gener-
Gus, how simplicity vanishes and with
it the pilgrim heart
Can we not in this Lenten season
so discipline our soul as to bring it
back to religious strength and the pill
grim heart? We are not to allow the
thought that Lent is a hardship, cut
ting off our pleasures. for the best
things of life come through these re-
turns to simplicity and the most. pleas
ure in retrospect comes from the
things that have cost toll. The great
est blessing is to come from these
hard places, when>we attack some be-
setting sin or do even the simple thing
of restraining your own nature and
being as courteous to members of your
own household as you would be to
strangers or visitors in the home. The
man whose strength is in God has an
eternal object before him, to go from
strength to strength, and everyone
whose strength is well placed shall
appear before God In Zion.

UNION LENTEN SERVICES
First of Weekly Meetings Held Trinity Episcopal Church
Rev. E. c. Acheson Of Middletown Preaching.

The first of the union evening Lent
en- services for Christ and Trinity
Episcopal churches was held Wednes-
day evening at Trinity church. having
a congregation of good size attending.
considering the rainy night. The rec
tors of the two churches, Archdeacon
Brown and Rev. Nelson Poe Carey,
sermon was by Rev. E. c. Acheson Of
Middietown.
For the opening Lenten thought, the
visiting preacher presented the theme
of the blessedness of the man whose
strength is in the Lord, speaking from
the text found in Psalms lxxxviii:5, 6,
z: Blessed is the man whose strength
Is in thee; in whose heart are the
pilgrim ways to Zion. Passing through
the valley of weeping they make it
a place of springs; yea, the early rain
covereth 1t with blessings. They go
from strength to strength, every one
Of them appeareth before God in
Zion.
1t is the blessedness Of those who
struggle that is indicated in the text.
There is a constant appeal throughout
the scriptures for people to be strong.
The preacher told of the great enthus-
iasm he had seen at the recent Olyun-
pic games in London over the magnifi-
cent Vlgor ana physique shown by the
athletes of many nations, especially
the Swedes. The times. too, are call
ing for men Of strength In intellect, in
politics, and in mercantile life, yet to
all this strength no blessedness can of
necessity be attached nor can the
words of the text be applied. They
can be used truly only of the man
or woman whose strength manifests
God OF Abraham Lincoln they could
be said, not because he was presi-
dent. but because in the last four
years of his life he manifested God.
