Lenten season has been one of I'M
usual quiet this year. Society has
been at a standstill and every
body has seemed contented to stay at
home. Many have conscientiously
kept Lent as religious duty in abb
staining from social life and giving
attention to more serious things. 9th
ers have seemed to enjoy the rest and
quiet that the season brings. Certain
it is that people have kept more close
ly at home and more in touch with
things that are worth while than is
usual at this time. Many have de-
voted good share of their time to Wis
iting and helping the sick and needy.
For the past few weeks group of
ladies have sewed faithfully for the
wounded soldiers in foreign hospitals.
In fact the spirit of the times and the
unsettled condition of our country in
duces serious thought and earnest
work, even thought it were not Lent.
The terrible storms that have en-
quilted Us during the past month, have
put "stay at home" aspect on things
in general and kept people in their
homes. Then, too, sickness has come
to many homes, bringing its usual care
and worry. All things combined have
made the season an unusually seri-
Gus one. Easter programs are now
being rehearsed in the different
churches, and many are interested in
Easter preparations. Let us hope that
the day will dawn bright and beauti-
full, and that it may bring to all a full
measure of happiness and peace.
