HOLY WEEK.

The Christian world during Holy
/ Week approaches Good Friday witf
great reverence. Even those not given
to religious thought or church-going
cannot fail to feel the solemnity OF
the season. 1--WE call it the Great
Week. says St Chryostom, mot that
II contains a greater number of days
nor that the days in it are longer, bul
on account of the great things which
God has wrought in it. For on these
! days was the tyranny OF the devil
oyerthrown, death disarmed, sin and
its curse taken away, heaven opened
and made accessible and men made fel.

beautifully expresses the wonderful
achievements Of Holy Week,
The nearer we approach to the sol
emnity in Christ's sufferings and res
direction. by which mysteries all of
the greatest blessings were poured
forth upon men, the more are we oblig-
ed to show all manner of acts of mercy
and charity and kindness toward our
fellow men.
Back in ancient times it was a sea
son of sackcloth and ashes in literal
sense. Ruling monarchs were merci
full during Holy Week. Emperors used
to forbid the execution of any offend.
er during Holy Week Acts of mercy
were exercised ~ all in AUTHORITY
This was the custom among Christian
rulers. OF course there were others
who paid but little attention to the
week of denial
Masters likewise were generous with
their slaves. They were given the |
freedom of the week in order that they
might make peace with the great
Father.
The Imperial laws of Theodosius for
bade all judicial acts or legal processes
during the week before Easter and the
week following Let all action at
law, whether public or private, cease
in the % paschal days, Let all men |
have liberty atithis time to grant free

are necessary ITO be done at law for |

the edict of the emperor still treasur
ed in the archives OF history
Thus the week will be observed with
solemnity in the churches.

"a woman looks better in the gal

floor discussing sex hygiene with a
ward boss. I believe in the home. From
discussions there between men and
women, all that is best in our national
life has come.

cago now have great problems to face.
Among them is the feminist move
ment.. When a woman begins publicly
to talk sex hygiene and kindred top
les with men she retrogrades.
According to modern methods the
movement Is to make the state take
care Of the child If the father forgets
1t. Under this theory woman becomes
a public problem, the child a ward OF
