ST. JOHNS LUTHERAN CHURCH
ASKS PASTOR TO CONTINUE
Rev. Paul D. Leddn. Who Resigned Account Of
INJURIES Urged to Remain In Passionate.

Although unable to look after the
pastorate of ST. Johns Lutheran
Church as he thinks it should be, on
account of serious injuries sustained
some months ago by being run down
nv an automobile while riding BIZ
cycle. Rev. Paul D. Leddin's resigna-
ton has been refused by the congrega-
tion. and he is expected to continue in
the local work.
Two years ago the pastor took up the
work here and, it is pointed out, was
particularly successful until he met
with an. accident last September
Speaking of his work and resignation
the last issue of the bulletin OF ST.
Johns Church has the following:
At the regular church council meet
ing. held February IS, the pastor pre-
sented his resignation to the board.
He explained that because of his In
juries sustained in the auto accident
of September "a he was unable to look
after his duties as a pastor. and that
the CONGREGATION should not be made
to suffer because of his inability for
active service.
But however much the pastor pleaded
in the interest of his church, the board
unanimously voted down the reslgna :
ton. and of their own accord each
pledeed renewed support to the church
and pastor in his sore affection st.
John's has always stood out for great
things in it's long history, but the
greatest and most unself1sh has gone

The Others Viewpoint.

Therefore. all things whatsoever ye
would that men should do to you. do
.ye even so to them: for this is the law
and the prophets In laying down
this rule Christ gave men a new sys-
tenn of lawmaking. based, not merely
on justice. but on love-pure. unselfish
love. Hitherto the law had been to
deal justly-that is, not to infringe
upon the actual rights of the neighbor.
Under that law man might pursue
his own selfish purpose completely, as
long as he did not interfere with his
neighbours rights. But Christ placed
the matter on a new basis; instead of
the merely prohibitive or negative law.
he gave a positive law. that placed a
responsibility on man. He said, Get
the viewpoint of the other fellow, and
do whatever you would like to have
him do II he were in your place and
you In his" This placed on man the
necessity of analyzing his own motives
and making sure they are free from
selfishness; and also the responsibility
Of service. of meeting his neighbors
need.
In his letter to Philemon. Paul

Gains and Losses.

Many seem to regard the act of con-
secrating their strength of body and
soul to the cause of religion as an ex-
tremely hard duty. involving the giving
up of all the pleasures of life.
Christ did not SO regard 1t. When
Peter said to Him, 10, we have left
all and have followed Thee" Jesus
answered. Verify l say unto you there
is no man that hath left house. or
brethren, or sisters, or father, or
mother. or wife, or children. or lands
for my sake and the gospels, but he
shall receive an hundredfold now in
this time, houses and brethren and sis
tiers and mothers and children and
lands with prosecutions. and in the
world to come eternal life"
For all that is given up Of the worlds
pleasures they shall receive a hundred
fold in this time. and in the world to
come eternal life. Figure out from
Christ's words the losses and gains and
you will find an abundance of comfort
promised for this life alone to far more
than compensate for the so-called
losses Of sinful pleasures. But they are
not losses. for all that we are required
to give up is for our own good-hence
conservation Of all our powers to
Christs service is not a hardship, but
a privilege and a blessing, both here
and hereafter.

EPISCOPALIANS. CATHOLICS AND
LUTHERANS TO OBSERVE ASH WEDNESDAY
Special Services to Be Held in These Churches
During Next Week to Mark Beginning
of Lenten Season.

The ashes used in this ceremony are
made by burning the remains or the
palms, blessed on Palm Sunday of the
previous year. In the blessing of the
ashes four prayers are used. all or
them ancient.
Special devotions will be held in all
the Roman Catholic churches through
out the city during the season OF Lent
Courses of sermons will be delivered
| in many and the Fridays VIII be espe-
cially devoted to the services of the
way of the cross" devotion, 1t is
pointed out. which arose first in Jeru-
| salem among the Christians VINO d"elt
there. out of generation for those
sacred spots which were sanctlned by
| the sufferings of the Redeemer. From
| the Holy city it was introduced INTO
Europe.
BEGINNING with Ash Wednesday,
speciaI services are held on Wednes-
| days and Fridays in Lutheran churches
| at which time the Passion history IS reao
| and explained and the liturgical services
| emphasize the work and sufferlngs OF
| Christ.
The general themes at these serv-
| ices are the doctrines of true repent
ance and the story of Chrlsts pas
sion. Fasting is commended bv some.
but there are no rules concerning thls,
and the church considers that Such
| things belong entirely to evangelical
| freedom.
The Lutheran Cyclopedia has this to
say: TT is contrary to the genius OF
the gospel to lay down strict rules for
! the observance of this season. 1t is
! enough that the church should make
use Of increased opportunity for in
struction, that we should abstain from
distractions. that we should exercise
ourselves i'm self-denial. both for our
own sakes and the edification of others.
and that all diligence should be given
to prepare the catechumens for con-
firmation and all for the Easter com
munion To this end the constant sub
ject of meditation is the voluntary hu-
initiation of our Savior" During this
| season. and for weeks before. special
Instructions are given the young peo-
pie preparatory for confirmation on
