Opening of the Lenten season, in
preparation for Easter, began this
Wednesday in an observance known
in the religious world as Ash We'd
nesday.
The Lenten period is fast of 40
week days observed by the Roman
Catholic church and many of the
Protestant denominations. 1t was
not until 1910 that the date was
fixed for the fast to start on Ash
Wednesday and to continue through
Holy Saturday.
The name Ash Wednesday has a
general reference to the penitential
sackcloth and ashes SO frequently
spoken of in the Old Testament, IN
the Roman church there is a rite
observed on this day in which the
priest places ashes on the forehead
Of the communicates as they kneel
at the altar rail.
As he does this he says, Memento,
homo, quiva pulpis es, ct in puferem
reverteris" fRemember, man thou
art dust, and unto dust thou shalt
return.l The ashes are obtained By
burning palm branches conseerated
in the church on the Palm Sunday
of the year previous.
Gradually it came to be the Gus.

Lenten Season In Preparation For
Easter Begins This Ash Wednesday

tom of friends and relatives to
manifst their humility by joining
the penitents, expressing a similar
contribution in their outward guise
and offering their foreheads for the
ashes.
In time the number grew SO large
that it was made necessary to ad-
minister the ashes to the whole con-
gregation in single rite, the form
used at the present time.
Ash Wednesday was not always
included within the Lenten period.
In the fifth and sixth centuries Lent
began with the succeeding Sunday
and lasted six weeks. Omitting Sum
day this would be 36 days. The adj
dition Of four days to this period
makes the fast exactly 40 days in
duration and therefore accords with
the fast of Jesus as we'll as the
fasts Of Moses and Elias.
The use Of ashes in the eremony
has generally been discontinued
since the reformation. The entire
Christian world, however, starts the
I.enten celebration on this Ash We'd
nesday even though the form Of the
celebration varies in the different re-
ligious groups.

the money, $3.50 was distributed
among the congregation to return in
five months with the results urging
all members meanwhile to "use all
their imagination, resources and abili-

The financing system is based on

their masters absence and called to
an accounting when he returned.
The modernized version Of the tai
