SEASON OF LENT
TOMORROW
FAITHFUL TO GIVE UP SOME OF
THE PLEASURES OF LIFE FOR
FORTY DAYS, WORKS OF LOVE
AND SACRIFICE TO OCCUPY
TIME AND DIsclPLINENG BODY.

The holy season Of Lent, forty days
for quiet, rest and meditation, will be-
gin tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, Feb.
25. 1t is the. date from which forty
days, not including Sundays, there
will be observed the land over, and
in all countries where the Christian
church has been established a pause in
human festivities and the giving up
of the mere pleasures of life,
Lent carries with it something more
than a merely human desire or resolve
to do good or TO make sacrifice; since
it is a religious and not merely a
secular date, and is commemorative
of the final days in the life Of Christ.
Under such circumstances it is not
strange hat men and women observe
Lent or that they should abate a little
the pleasures Of this world in con-
temptation of the sacrifice which was
lin very truth the far-off divine event
toward which the whole creation
moved"
Easter is a movable feast and may
be computed, according TO the ancient
church calendar, by the established
rule which fixes Easter day, on which
all the rest of the church days and
feasts depend, is always "the first
Sunday after the full moon, which
happens upon Or next after March 81;
and if the full moon happens upon a
Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday af-
ter. The full moon, for the purposes
of the rules and tables, is the four
teenth day of a lunar month, reckon
ed according to an ancient ~ecclesiasti-
cal computation, and not the real or
astronomical full moon" The Lenten
calendar for 1914 is as follows:
Feb. 25-Ash Wednesday,.
March First Sunday in Lent.
March S-Second Sunday in Lent.
March 15-Third Sunday in Lent.
March 22-Fourth Sunday in Lent.
March 25-Annunciation B. V. M.
March 29-Passion Sunday.
April 5-Palm Sunday.
April 9-Maundy Sunday.
April 10-Good Friday.
April 11-Easter Even.
April 12-Easter Day.
The Easter date comes from the
Jewish Passover, with which it Is
intimately connected in the biblical
story and which occurs on the Satur-
day preceding Easter-this year April
II. In the Greek and Russian calen-
dar. the actual date being fixed by the
equinox, is the same as in the Gregor-
ian, but in the almanac of these
churches it is given as March 80,
which is the difference between the
new style calendar which we use
and the Julian or old style which is
used in all the countries where the
Greek as the national church still OBJ
tains.
