THE LENTEN SEASON
Ash Wednesday the Beginning falls
on Feb'y rs This Year

One who has consulted the almanac
with care and is we'll informed regard
ing the movable feasts, writes as fol
lows:
Ash Wednesday, which this year
falls on February 81, marks the begin
ming of the Lenten season, and is the
date from which for forty days, not
counting Sundays, there is pause in
the round of human festivities and in
some sort of giving up of the mere
pleasures of life. Unlike the New
Year, Lent carries something with IL,
something more than merely hum
an desire or resolve to do good or 10
make sacrifice since il is a religious
and not merely secular date, and
is commemorative of those final days
in the life of Christ, and OF the great
sacrifice. Under such circumstances
ID is not strange that men and women
i'm q Christian world should observe
Lent or that they should abate lit
tie the pleasures OF this world in
contemplation of the sacrifice which
was in very truth that far-off, divine
event toward which the whole crea-
ton moved
IN 1913 the date of Ash Wednesday
was twenty days earlier than this
year, and for this reason the Easter
date was on March %, instead Of
April IL as il is this year. Easter Is
in fact, a movable feast instead Of
a fixed one, as is Christmas; and
was made permanently so by the de-
cree of the council of Nicea, which
ordained that the observance Of EaS-
ter shonld be on the fIrst Sunday
~ .Nf no
nox. which Is March 81 The latest
date on which Easter might fall Is
Aprf 25. so there are in all thirty
five possible dates for its observance.
In fact the Easter date comes from
the Jewish Passover, with which II Is
Intimately connected in the biblical
story and which occurs on the sat
urday preceding Easter - this year
April H. In the Greek and Russian
calendar the actual date being liked
by the equinox, is the same as i'll the
Gregorian, but in the almanac OF the
churches ii is given as March 80
which Is the difference between the
new style calendar which We use ana
rhe Julian or old style which in all
countries where the Greek Is Oh"
national church still obtains.
In the year 1915 Faster VIII lail on
April 4, in 1916 on April %, in 1917
on April 8. in 1915 on March 2S, IN
1919 Tn April 20 and in 1920 on April
again. Not since 1918 has it come
so early as March %, and not until
1913 will it come as late as April %.
No person now living, or his sen or
daughter, is likely again 10 see an
Easter as early as March %, since
there will be no such Easter date un-
I'll after the year 1000.

Rev. Thomas Horton were homely
but powerful expositiOns of the gosp-

closer observation and nearer en-
emplification' OF the life of Jesus
Christ. Fitting his words Ia the oc.
casion Rev. Horton discussed briefly
the question of why men do not at

which was that men do the things
they like to do. and If they do not so
to church il is because they do not
want to. The responsibility is per
