as Mother is happy in love-"
Early to-day Miss Townsend cor-
fessed that The aged woman died OF
natural causes last June and had
been buried b. the two women in a
flower bed in their back yard, In
which the aged woman had carefully
attended geranium plants
Every part Of their former home
was searched yesterday by the police
and even some parts Of the rear yard
were dug up, but nothing was found
except bones, which, the doctors as
serted, were those Of dog.
Dire poverty caused the two wo-
men to bury the body secretly, Miss

musical ability, remained

What does Lent mean?"

What does Lent mean?"
Some one occasionally asks this
question. The word comes from. tho
| Anglo-SaXon "Lcnc.en," meaning to
lengthen or make long. 1t also has
reference to spring, when the LAYS
begin 10 grow longer.
In tlV history OF the church this
season Of the year, beginning for;%
days before Easter, has another
meaning. Since the third century
these forty days have been set apart
as time for fasting and. prayer.
Even before the third generation eel
tain days before Easter were observ-
ed, but the Council of Nicca, 325 a.
d.. set apart forty days. beginning
Ash Wednesday.
The number Of days chosen came
from Bible history. Christ tasted
forty days, the Children of Israel
were forty days ~ the Wilderness.
the fasting of Moses and the fasting
of Elijah.
The Roman Catholic church still
observes the fast The faithful mem
bers are governed by the letters from
the pope, regulating the diet on these
days. Some parts of the Protestant
church direct the members not to
take part in certain amusements and
also to restrain themselves from eat
ing some foods. The Lutheran church
keeps this season for the sake of the
Word Of God given on those days.
The lessons appointed to be read in
the Lenten season deal especially
with the mcaping Of Christ's death
on the cross. and Gods judgment on
sin. That means preaching of re-
pentance and forgiveness. This part
Of Scripture emphasizes that Christ
died for every man, and that all have
sinned.
Some parts Of the Protestant
church have annual revival seasons
at certain times of the year. With
others the Lenten season gives an
opportunity to preach repentance and

believe that such is not the case at all

Those who ridicule the Bible on &C
