In modern times the Catholic church
prescrlbes rules more lenlent, especial
ly for the working people who are not
prohibited from eating flesh meat ex-
cept on Fridays. Ash Wednesdays and
Saturday of Holy week. and soldiers
and sailors In active service are dis
pensed from the law of abstinence ex-
cept on Ash Wednesday. and several
other holy days.
Aside from the fasting as an OBJ
seryance of the Lenten season the
Catholic church conducts special serv-
ices at stated times and the funda-
mental doctrines of the church are
preached and other ceremonies carried
out. 1t is the desire that all should
refrain from all pleasures during this
forty-day period and keep their minds
and hearts upon spiritual things.
The other churches that observe
Lent dispense with the fast but stress
the period as time for self-examina-
ton and prayer. and reconsecration
to Christ. Their members also dis
pense with ordinary worldly pleasures
during the Lenten season and observe
.it as a period Of extra religious effort

AS the centuries passed. there was
great diversity in the practices of keep
ing Lent, but from the earliest times
there was prohibition against the eat
ing of meat, and 1t was deemed espe-
cially pious to refrain from eating eggs
or fruit with hard covering. In the
beginning there was no prohibition
against the "Lacticin!a," but st. Greg
ory in writing to st. Augustine from
England laid down the rule: I'VE
abstain from flesh meat and from all
things from flesh. eggs. milk and
cheese" There were special dispen-
sations for eating these products, how
ever, and many churches were built
with the gifts for these dispensations.
Thus a steeple in the cathedral at
Rouen was known as THE Butter
Tower" The custom Of giving Easter
eggs, so much enjoyed by the children
Of today. arose from the prohibition OF
eggs. The eggs were blessed and CIV
en- to the children.
Although in the early Middle Ages
the rules of the fast were very strict.
with only one light meal on week days
and that in the evenings. and no flesh
on Sundays, the rules began to be less
rigid little later. 1t became the Gus
tom to break the fast at three O'Clock
in the afternoon or the period called
nome" Charlemagne Is said to have
taken his Lenten repast at two o'clock
In the afternoon. Gradually the time
was moved up to midday. as nome was
a period rather than an hour, and the
repast was eventually taken at twelve
o'clock, and the word nome" Is per-
petuated in our word moon"
The collation. was introduced in the
Ninth century when the council at
Aix-la- -Chapelle sanctioned that conces-
sion. 1t began with allowing In mo-
nasteries a draught of water to the
inmates at evening after day of la
Dor. From this the much larger indul-
gence was developed. The principle
that small quantity of food, but not
taken as u regular meal, did not break
the fast, was adopted by Thimas
Aquinas, the celebrated Dominican
theologian, and in the course of CEN
turtles taking of food not to exceed
eight ounces became recognized as
lawful custom of the church. 1t took
the name of "collation" because 1t was
first taken in the monasteries at the
hour at which the "Collationes" of Abb
bot Cassion were read aloud to the
brethren.

1t Is certain, however, that the ex-
ampies of Moses, Elias and Christ ex-
ercised a great influence upon the es-
tabllshment Of the Lenten season In
the Christian church, and that observ-
ance of the period Of forty days was
evolved from their examples. Modern
scholarship rejects the claim that Lent
was of apostolic institution, although
some of the early fathers contended
that 1t was. While the apostles tasted
at seasons and enjoined the practice
upon others, the specific Lenten OBJ
seryance was evolved after apostolic
times.
In the Catholic Encyclopedia. which
is the principal authority upon Catho-
lie history and teachings. some inter
esting facts are recited about this sea-
son, which, whatever its exact ori-
gin, has been rellgiously observed ey-
cry year for at least 1,700 years.
The word Lent itself is Teutonic
word, which has been in use since the
Anglo.Saxon period, and is generally
used in preference 70 the Latin term
"Quadrageslma," meaning the Forty
days" The forty-duy observance of

Nicene fathers, but st. Athanasius or

the most important occa-
sion in the Christian calendar.
"If Christ be not risen from the
dead, then Is our preaching vain," said
Paul, and the whole Christian struc-
ture rests upon the resurrection as Its
foundation. Without the resurrection
the hope of humanity is gone. for only
in a living Christ is there salvation.
The death and resurrection Of Christ
are primarily involved in the keeping
Of the Lenten season, which is observed
formally by the older branches Of the
Christian church. The different
churches vary in their practices In
the observance of the forty days pre-
ceding Easter, but the spirit prompting
the observance is the same In all.
Some of the Protestant churches do
not observe Lent, but many ministers
find 1t propitious time for evangelis-
tic effort and in recent years some
very successful eyangelistic campaigns
have been waged by Protestants in
the large cities during the season of
Lent.
The history of Lent has many inter-
esting passages. The severe rules of
the fast prescribed in the early days
have been greatly relaxed during the
centuries, as far as they apply to
physical observance,
Since the earliest times in religious
history fasting at times has been a
custom. The patriarchs had great
MORNINGS and the ancient Israelities
had devotional fasts for the expiation
of sins. Moses passed forty days on
Mount Horeb in fasting and after
Israel was defeated at All. Joshua and
the elders remained PROSTATE before
the ark from morning until evening
without eating. Christ spent forty days
in the wilderness in fasting, but how
ever prevalent the custom it does not
appear that either Jewish legislation
or Christ Himself, either by command
or example, ever designated any cer-
tain period for fasting.

The statewide good roads program,
as outlined by the Nebraska Good
Roads association, is meeting with
popular approval in all parts of the
state. officials of the association ad-
vised the Greater Omaha committee
yesterday.
Peter Clement. field agent of the
association, in his report to 3. f.
George of Lincoln, who Is secretary.
reported that senators and represent
atives in outlying counties realize
that the good roads program Is not
selfish move on the part of inter-
ests in Omaha and Lincoln, but a
statewide civic project.
Mr.. Clements reports are very en-
couraging, according to Mr.. George.
who Is a veteran good roads enthusi-
asst. He and the president, W. II.
Brakeman of Norfolk. are working In
close cooperation with T. c. Byrne,
chairman Of the good roads commit.
tee of the Greater Omaha committee.
Il feel confident that our good
roads program will meet with the
approval of the coming legislature" +"
said Mr.. George. THE program will
bring good roads to nearly all parts
reap the benefits. Because of the
condition OF Nebraskas roads this
state is losing many thousands of
dollars annually because tourists are
going by the way of Missouri and
Kansas City"
Following is the good roads pro.
gram as being sponsored by the
Greater Omaha committee and the
Nebraska Good Roads associations:
The appointment of a bipartisan
state highway commission to have
charge of the improvement and main
tenance of all state highways.
A 2-cent gasoline tax, this tax to
be collected at the point of inspection.
Appropriation by the state legislature
of all funds necessary to meet govern
ment funds. apportioned TO Nebraska
under the federal aid road act.
A division of all funds accruing
under the state automobile license
law to the various counties of the
state, to be apportioned 80 per cent
for improvement of state highways
and so per cent for the Improvement
Of secondary roads under couny su-
pervision.
The state good roads program has
been endorsed not only by the Greater
Omaha committee but also by the
Chamber OF Commerce. the Omaha
Real Estate board and many civic
organizations in the state.
