Lent Began Ash Wednesday, the 9th.

The season of Lent begins on a
Wednesday, in order that, emitting
Sundays, just forty days may be ac-
complished before Easter, in humble
imitation of the Redeemer's fasting
in the wilderness.
The Mosaic Law provided for
great fast of expiration; and the
church, adapting the idea to the a.
tenement of Christ, as celebrated at
the Christian Passover, and institut-
ing Lent as proper preface of the
Paschal solemnities, seems to have
acted on the warrant of our Savior
himself: "The days will come when
the Bridegroom shall be taken away;
and then shall they fast in those
days"
The duty of fasting is ordained of
Christ Himself: there must be
time for every duty; and therefore
the church appoints time in all re-
spects fitting and appropriate. Not
to "hear the Church" in a matter so
Scriptural, and so true to her Divine
Mission, is to run the risk of being
made ''as heather man, and a pub
lican."
For these holy and important pur-
poses Lent is instituted a solemn
and large space of time; to be re-
ligiously employed by each private
Christian at his discretion, as the
condition of his soul shall require,
and the circumstances of his world
ly affairs shall permit. According
ly the first day of it gives warning of
the then distant Precipitation day,
and calls early to our duty; actually
entering us on the godly work by re-
Election on our sins, and acknowledge
ment of Divine justice; by fasting
and prayer; and engaging us to go
on, and to make use of the following
intermediate season for the perfect
ing our repetance, and for our in
crease in the knowledge of the Cross
of Christ, that wisdom and power of
God.

Railroads of the country are
planning for a reduction in the wage
scale. Presumably the scheme is to
begin at the bottom and forget to
reach the top.

Young America More studious.

Young America no longer plays
hockey" as his parents did in their
school days, but has become so
studious in the face of an increasing
shortage in teachers that educators
will soon have to devise means to
attract men and women to the
teaching profession, the reason given
is; first that the American boy and
girl has come to realize the advant-
age of an education and are attend
ing schools in greater numbers than
ever before: second, so many walks
of life have been opened to women
that many who wouftl have taught
school are taking up vacations which
pay better salaries. Fifteen years
ago teaching was practically the
only occupation open for women,
now, many of them are taking posi-
tons as secretaries, welfare work
ers in industrial plants and manag-
ing offices. All forces have Joined
in a demand for education and there
is no way of stopping them.
