The session and trustees have adopted
the Every Member Canvas which will
be put in operation during the month of
March BY this system it is hoped to
enlist every member of the church, young
as we'll as old, in the support of the
local church and also the great mission
ary enterprises of the church. The plan
as outlined by the official boards is very
thorough and far-reaching and bears ev-
cry promise of putting the finances of
the church upon the irmest possible
foundations. The system which is be-
ing outlined is that which Rev. +. A.
McGanab urged and explained in the
conference upon church finance which
was held in the church last week.

The Lenten season opened Wednesday
of this week and will be marked in large
degree by cessation of social activi-
ties. The advent of Ash Wednesday
was observed in the Episcopal and Cath
olc churches with special services, and
these services will continue during the
entire penitential season. Rules and
regulations for the guidance of men,
bers of the Catholic churches are pro-
r mulgated each year and read to the con-
gregations in advance, and these rules
do not vary greatly from season to sea-
son.
Lent is a solemn time of fasting in
many of the Christian bodies. In the
Roman and Episcopal churches it is
taught that it was always a fast of 40
days, and as such of apostolic institu-
ton. Others think that it was of &C.
clesiastical institution, and that it was
variously observed in different churches
and grew by degrees from fast of 40
hours to fast of 40 days. This is the
sentiment of Morton, Bp. Taylor, Du
Moulin, Dallie and others. Anciently
the manner of observing Lent among
those who were piously disposed, was
to abstain from food until evening
their only refreshment was supper
and it was indifferent whether it was
meat or any other food, provided it was
used with sobriety and moderation. Lent
was thought the time for exercising
more abundantly every species of char
ity; thus what they spared of their own
bodies, by abridging them of meal
was usually given to the poor; they
applied their vacant hours in visiting
the sick and those that were in pris-
on; in entertaining strangers and re-
conciing differences. The imperial
laws forbade all prosecution of mer
in criminal actions that might bring
them to corporal punishment during
the whole season. This was a time OF
more than ordinary strictness and de.
votion, and therefore in many of the
great churches throughout England
they had special religious assemble:
for prayer and preaching every day
and all public games and stage play.
forbidden by law.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
AN UNUSUALLY IMPORTANT
MEETING TO BE HELD
THIS EVENING.

The meeting of the Commercial
club announced to be held this even
ing will be of unusual Importance,
and a general attendance of citizens,
including ladies, is desired. The first
business to come before the meeting.
in which it is desired the ladies shall
take part, is the organization of a
Memorial Day association to become
a permenant institution of the city.
Heretofore the observance of Memoir
ial Day has been a sort of eyerybody's
business from year to year, and as
the city grows larger it has become
something of a hardship for the few
that voluntarily interest themselves
in devising ways and means for keep
ing alive an institution that should
command the respect of every citizen.
A permanent organization has be-
come almost imperative, thereby hav-
ing in position a corps of officers
whose duty it shall be to perfect ar
~rangements for the proper observ-
ance of the day.
At the conclusion of the business
of organizing the Memorial Day asso-
citation by the election of the neces-
sary officers, a luncheon will be
served to which all ladies present are
cordially invited.
Refreshments served, the matter
of Sunday excursion trains from this
city to Lake Madison will be taken
up. This movement is in conjunction
with the Commercial club of Sioux
Falls. 1t is recognized by the people
of that city that Lake Madison is
their most convenient summer resort
If proper transportation facilities can
be obtained. Many people of Sioux
Falls visit the lake week days and
Sundays by automobile, but it is the
desire of their Commercial club to
provide Sunday excursion train serv-
ice for the benefit of those who are
employed closely during the week
with Sunday as their only recreation
day, and who do not possess automo-
biles for travel. 1t is also the desire
of the Madison Commercial club to
secure equal excursion facilities from
this city to the lake. Hence, the mat
ter will be discussed and a movement
in that direction made at this even
ling's meeting.
Another matter for consideration
is a proposition to establish a foun-
dry in Madison. Such a proposition
has come to Sec'y Martin of the Com
mercial club and he will present the
proposition to the members of the
club this evening.
