SOCIETYTO
OBSERVE
LENT HERE
Season Opens Wednesday
Decrease in Large
Affairs Seen.

With the advent of the Lenten sea.
son in Indianapolis Wednesday
large social affairs, parties and
dances will decrease in number un.
til after Easter. Lutheran, Catho.
lie and Episcopal churches will OBJ.
serve Ash Wednesday with special
services for the beginning of Lent
and many of them will hold special
church meetings during the entire
Lenten season. Easter this year is
on April II.
The custom of keeping a fast in
preparation for Easter is of early
origin and has been in continuous
observance in the apostolic churches
to the present time. According to
the ministers, the aim of Lent should
be not what can T give up?," but
What must I gain for my SOULS
good?" Sacrifice without spiritual
purpose is vanity, they state.
The object of Lent, as stated in
many churches sis to prepare the
souls of the faithful that they may
truly experience the joys of the
Resurrection. It can be accomplished
by deepening the spiritual life by
means of prayer, meditation, acts Of
devotion and communion"
