THE FORTY DAYS FAST.

While not all of the branches OF
Christian church observe the Lenten
period with the same earnestness, all
recognize that the forty days preced-
ing the day celebrated as being the
Ascension occasion Of the Christ are
more pregnant with meaning that
those constituting the balance of the
year, and whether entering deeply in
10 the spirit of the period or not,
most communicates Of all the demon
nations recognize the appropriateness
OF in some manner observing the
time
AS is true of the people of the
United States II is probably a fact in
other countries that the masses have
their time so fully occupied with meet
ing the duties of each day, performing
those services demanded by the pass
ing hours, following after some pleas
ure or by force of circumstances de-
MED the privilege of leisure for CON
temptation or introspection, that the
Athbth uagH NOllc anu 80 dilhOSl as
do the other days of the year. But
this does not set aside the fact that
mankind needs such occasions as are
here presented for better adjustment
of his relationship with his Maker and
with his fellow man. Made conscious
OF this the human being becomes more
human by becoming aware of possess
ing attributes which respond to some
thing outside of himself. something
the possession of which, he has only
been dimly cognizant.
Probably there will never come an
other Lenten season during the ex-
istence of this country as a nation that
will be so fraught with significance as
the one upon which we have entered.
It was near the end of the Lenten per-
Tod of last year that the United States
entered into the world war and while
we have not been party to the strug-
gle for a full year, We today are be-
ginning to realize, as perhaps we have
never done before, the meaning of the
contest in which we are more than
likely to become the deciding factor
Hence should our Lenten meditations
partake of the hue of prayerful
thought. rather than of outward OBJ
servance, although the two can travel
hand in hand.

TOO EASILY LED BY WHlMS
Station That Is Not Productive
of Good Results.

Whims are the rivulets of the mind
They sparkle over the shadows so
that one is not likely to see how
shallow they are. And yet a good
deal of this world, most of 1t, per-
haps, is run by whims. We have
often been on the inside of the arena
