IN LENTEN SERVICE

Urging his hearers to renewed eff
forts In the battle Of life, Bishop
William Burt, Of Buffalo, addressed
"a capacity house at the MONDAY Len

house, Tuesday.
Bishop Burt counselled against
yielding to the materialistic tenden.
cies Of the times and launched into
q vigorous denunciation Of the prac.
tice Of fleeing from trials and bur.
dens rather than facing them.
THE religion Of Jesus Christ puts
no premium on asccticism," he said.
Neither does II scorn the beautiful
nor seek to stamp out innocent
pleasure--an attempt 80 often re-
garded 90 q mark Of supreme piety
Flight from the trials Of life does
not bring security. The demon 10
inside and peace can be gained only
by stamping out the evil. In dealing
with passions. desires and ambitions
there Is but one remedy, the old Cos
pei. one which says: IL thy right
hand offend thee. cut II on. and II
thine eye lead thee astray. pluck II

Bishop Burt dwelt ct length upos
the material advances made In mod.
fern times and emphasized that con-
ditions were fest approaching those
which were In the mind Of the dis
ciple who asked, when the Son Of
Man cometh, think ye He shall And
