danger period and bumper crop may

ST.. ANNE'S CHURCH
The Church Building j. Open Daily
For Prayer
SERVICE WEDNESDAY EVENINGS

SEkVlIE VI EDNESDAY Evenings
EPISCOPAL
The church building open daily for
meditation and prayer.
Sunday, March 9th, 1919. First Sun
day in Lent.
Services: 1890, Morning prayer and
sermon.
11.45, Sunday School session.
7.3O, Evening prayer and address.
Meetings.: The Parish Guild will meet
at the Rectory on Thursday afternoon.
at 2 o'clock.
Services during Lent every Wednes-
day evening at 7.3o. Sermon, by Wis.,
iting clergyman. Friday afternoon at
$3.50.
The Psalmist says: Il thought on my
way and turned my feet unto thy testi-
monies. Lent is pre-eminentIy the time
set apart by the church in which we
may stop and think. How much we
need to think on our ways. How are
we living? What are we doing with
our life? Are we building up charac-
ter and making good use of it? Or are
we just trifing it away in self-seeking
and amusement t? Would you be ready
if the King should come now?
Surely !! if we stop to think we will
realize how much We are leaving un-
done and how much we ought to do.
The church has set apart this sacred
season that her children may use it to
make real growth in the Christian life.
But her children are not making the use
of it that they either might or should.
Will you not determine, as you enter
upon this Lenten season, not only to
say. II ought, but can and WILL" 1t
cannot then help but be season of
real advancement in practical holiness.
The word ''practicap' suggests that
the best way to do it is to do ethlng
definite. Give up attending all enter
taipments and places of amusenients
and devote the time to the cultivation
of your higher nature. Don't compro-
mise with the world and ''beat the devil
around the bush' by substituting a
round of little teas, entertainments and
card parties.
Give up some favor:te article of foot
some luxury of life or some expensi e
habit and be careful to select something
in which you may save money, not that
you may, as the monks used to say,
"Deny the chin to save the bir," but
devote the money to some religious or
charitable object. In this age Of luxury
there is nothing so needful as self-de-
NAL. You will, perhaps, be astonished
to find how weak the body is and how
great will be the strengthening of your
character if you persist.
Devote some regular time each day
to earnest PRAYER and q more faithful
study of the scriptures. Prayer is our
means of keeping in touch with our
Father. The scriptures are our chart
and compass that show the way and re-
veal the will of God.
Get more faithful in your attendance
upon the services Of the church. You
cannot get along ''just as well'' without
then. neither can they ''get along just
as well'' without you. You can give as
well as get, if you only come in the
right spirit.
Affectionately,
Your Rector,
P. LID.
