 The epistle read in the days services throughout the world was from the prophet Joel, Il. 12-19, beginning Thus saith the Lord: Be converted to Me with all your heart, with fasting, and with weeping. and with mourn ing. Rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God. ''The gospel was Matt. 16-21 the opening passages: "At that time
 Jesus said to His disciples, When ye fast, be not of a sad counteaance. as the hypocTites. For they disfigure their faces that to men they may ap- pear to fast" Following the mass, the sacred ashes were signed upon the foreheads of the members of the congregation
 kneeling at the altar railing. the priest
 at the same time saving as the sign o1 the cross was made, "RememaAer man
 that dust thou art and into dust tl1et
 shalt return" The ashes thus distrib. uted are obtained yearly by burning what palms remain from Palm Sun. day. In this distribution Father Cufly
 was assisted by the rector. Rev. J. H Broderick and by Rev. Myles P. Gal. win.
 Following the Lenten exercises 1T the evening, there was, the same dis. cribution of ashes. Preceding tht morning mass the ashes had been sol Iemnly blessed, the exercises beginning with the prayer. Hear me. o, Lord for Thy mercy is kind; look upon us Q, Lord. according to the multitud, lot Thy tender mercies," this invoca tion being followed by other prayer. and psalms of penitence.

UNITED LENTEN SERVICE
 AT CHRIST CHURCH
Timely Sermon by Rev. R. R. Graham
 at Christ Church.

The first of the United Lenten ser vices of Christ Episcopal and Trinity Episcopal churches was held wednes- day evening in the chapel of Christ church. Rev. R. R. Graham conducted the services and the vested choir sang. Rev. MT. Graham in his Lenten ad- dress said in part: Is this Lenten sea- son going to be of a benefit to us as individuals? ?. The Lerften season calls for denial of the vanities of this wick ed life and for penitence. This is the Characteristic of the Lenterl season. Yet I do not think that this is the greatest characteristic of this Lenten period which we are just entering. We have some great realities before us in person is letting this war prey upon his mind, and it is bound to tend to- ward a spiritual depression which is the effect of the war. We must over- come this spiritual depression and this is the one great benefit that we may get from this season of Lent.
 We have heatless, { meatIess and wheatless days pointed out to us by the government and the state should be supported by the church. We are abstaining from the use of various foods in order to help the government as that by denying ourselves these things we are not causing the denial that we did before the war. But do not forget pe1itence although this in my opinion is not the principal thing Iii this Lenten> period.
 Our. boys in the camps are being disciplined and also. being instructed in the use of weapons. They are hard at work but for a great end. Their physical welfare is being looked after and they are being trained to the minute. si
 Our spiritual muscles are becoming f1abby and need rigid training. Spir- itIial exertion is becoming painful. The only way to overcome this is to enter into as spirit of discipline dur ing the Lenten season. Enjoy Lent as means of spiritual strength. Lent is not merely season of self denial and repentance but 1t is a season off prayer. As the gun and bayonet is a weapon for the soldier So is prayer s weapon in the cause of Christianity. Prayer is a weapon in which nest of US are unslSilled and we need a rigid course of training if1 the use of this weapon. Let this Lenten period he our training period for the use of this weapon, prayer.
 The soldier when he is training for war does not think he is preuarjng 1 for death but he is training for the victory to be attained through his ef- 1 forts. So let it be during Lent. Do not consider that we are training for death but are preparing for life anG
 victory.
