Forty Day Season of Religious
Portent Originally Time
OF Fasting
Many Features of Early OBJ
servance Still Retained
BY Churches

With the Lenten season officially
opening on Ash Wednesday, Bluffton
churches are starting observances
known in the religious world as the
forty day period of preparation for
Easter.
Lent was originally meant to be a
time of fasting. Since Sunday is
not considered a time of fasting, the
period consists of full complement
of 40 days. This figure is significant
because Christ tasted for 40 days;
Moses and Elias spent 40 days in
the wilderness and in the preaching
of Jonah to Ninevah 40 days of
grace were given.
In the early church, Lent was a
season in which the faithful begged
Gods mercy for themselves and were
therefore expected to show mercy to
others. The money spared by fast
ing was given in aims, the church
reconciled penitents at the affairs, the
emperors released prisoners, masters
pardoned their slaves and enemies
became friends.
The church has generally discoun-

What You Should
Know About the
Income Tax

Taxes due on a return filed for
the calendar year 1941 may be paid
in full at the time of the filing of
the return on or before March 16,
1912. The tax may, at the option
of the taxpayer, be paid in four
equal installments instead of in a
single payment, in which case the
first installment is to be paid on or
before September Is, and the fourth
on or before December Is, 1912. If
the taxpayer elects to pay his tax
in four instalments, each of the four
installments must be equal in
amount, but any installment may be
paid, at the election of the taxpayer,
prior to the time prescribed for its
payment. If an installment is not
paid in full on or before the date
fixed for its payment, the whole
amount of the tax remaining unpaid
is required to be paid upon notice
and demand from the collector.
The tax must be paid to the col
lector of internal revenue for the dis
trict in which the taxpayers return
is required to be filed, that is, to the
collector for the district in which is
located the taxpayers legal residence
or principal place of business in the
United States, then to the Collector
of Internal Revenue at Baltimore,
Maryland.
The tax due, if any, should be paid
in cash at the collectors office, or by
check or money order payable to
Collector of Internal Revenue. In
the case of payment in cash, the
taxpayer should in every instance re-
quire and the collector should fur
nish a receipt. In the case of pay
ments made by check or money ord
er, however, the cancelled check or
the money order receipt is usually a
sufficient receipt.

Sleeping North or South

Many people believe, as Charles
Dickens and others did, that cleo
trical forces from the magnetic poles
make sleep better if the bed is
placed north and south, with the head
at the north. Even to this day
some people carry compasses when
travelling and each night move the
bed around so the magnetism will
pass from their head to feet, and
not crossWise of their bodies. This
IS a bit of superstitious pseudo-sci-
ence. AS long as a person is not
standing on his head, it makes no
difference in which direction his
head points during sleep.

Bluffton Churches Begin Observance
Of Lent In Preparation For Easter

tenanced festivities of all kinds dur
ing Lent, marriages were forbidden
and it was considered a period of
mourning.
In England the use of flesh meat,
eggs and milk was forbidden during
the Lenten period, not only by ec-
clesiastical but also by common law.
Any violation of the law was fol-
lowed by dire penalties.
A landlady in London was placed
in stocks all night for having raw
meat in her house. Anyone caught
eating meat or violating any of the
Lenten laws was fined so shillings
and given three months imprison-
ment.
The chief Lenten food from the
earliest of days has always been fish
Formerly whale, porpoise and sea
wolf meat were eaten during Lenten
period since they were considered to
be fish.
Certain features of the early OBJ
servances of the period are still re.
tanned by a number of the churches
Moderate abstinence of food is re.
commended and an intermission o1
gaiety and pleasure. More time is
devoted to religious reflection anc
services than usual.
Most ministers in Bluffton churches
begin their preparations for Easter
on the first Sunday of the Lenter
season. Various aspects of the cross
crucifxion and the resurrection Of
Christ are made sermon topics dur
ing the pre-Eastern season.

that was difficult to find words to
describe.
The party sailed from Aukland,
New Zealand on New Years Day
and had the unique experience of eel
ebrating New Years Day on the fol-
lowing day due to the fact of the
ships passing of the international
date line.
REACH AMERICA
After much zig-zagging on the last
lap of the journey to Los Angeles
the boat arrived in the harbor in
calm waters. Altho there was con-
siderable conjecture among the pas
sengers as to the route taken by the
vessel, only the officers knew the ex-
act locations. Sealed orders were
given the officer from every port
left and he was not permitted to ex-
anime them until fairly we'll out at
sea.
The boat was still on its maiden
voyage having left Dutch harbor on
ly few days before war broke out.
1t was built for service between Hol-
land and Africa. Now the vessel
will be taken over for allied war
duty and it will likely be years be-
fore the crew will be able to see
their families back in Holland.
CREW MEMBERS
No member of the crew had seen
his family for two years and very
few letters were received in that
period. Some of the crew members
had heard indirectly that members OF
their family had been killed and
others found out that hunger existed
The missionaries were able to
carry on conversations with the crew
members many of whom were able
to speak broken English. In dis.
cussing the japanese war one of the
crew members told the Wengers
"The Japs don't can sit on the whole
world"
II there was any danger in the
trip home the passengers had very
few evidences of it. On the last few
days they were required to wear life
belts at all times and to sleep il
their clothing at night. In addition
strict blackout rules were observed
at all times.
BLACKoUT
One evening there was considerable
stir aboard ship when woman, hav
ing a marked German accent, insist
ed on showing lights in the blackou
period. When detected the officers

lights to her cabin.

INDIA Ro-BRITIsH
India for the most part is pro

Wengers stated. The anti-mission

ago, it was pointed out
