V A program for community-wide religious drama, with local talent, ' is now being recruited by the Rev. Edward Pacha and his co-chair-man. James Webb. The local group hopes to be able to present plays with a religious background and theme, but of such wide interest as to avoid the dogma of any separate church. The Decatur Associated Churches voted in its January meeting to support the group, and forihs have been given to all local rtunisters for their congregation members. “The tremendous feeling of accomplishment experienced when a fine play is presented, will more than compensate for the time spent in preparing the drama,” Rev. Pacha said. Not only actors, but persons interested in costuming, makeup, music, lighting, designing, set building, and the many other things needed to make a play a success are wanted for the new ( project. , At least four actors will be needed for the first script, which has ; already been chose n. Reid B. I Erekson, Decatur resident with much experience- in the theater, i has offered to assist in the direction of the play, Rev. Pacha added. ■ —- The group is open to all ages, young, and old alike. As soon as 1 a sufficient number of persons 1 have indicated their interest, casting and pratcie will start. , ' New Respiratory Viruses Discovered WASHINGTON (UPD-Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney reported today that two new respiratory viruses, which cause influenzalike illnesses, have been discovered. Burney said a recent study by Public Health Service scientists showed toe viruses caused more acute respiratory illnesses among hospitalized children, and infants than Asian flu last year. Officials told a reporter a vaccine is being developed as protection against the highly contagious viruses. Burney described the discovery as "an important advance against one of our major public health problems.” Study Indigent Children The study was carried on among hospitalized indigent children in toe Washington area during 1957-58. “Results of the large - scale study on the role of these viruses,” Burney said, “show that cm a year-round basis they cause 50 per cent more respiratory illness In children than does influenza.” - > Officials noted that the viruses also strike adults. The study covered a range of infections from mild, fever - producing illness to pneumonia and , to croup, a childhood disease characterized by labored and near suffocation breathing. Great Strides Made Commenting on results of the study, Burney said “respiratory research has made greater strides in toe last several years than in the previous generation.” Health officials said antibiotics alone won't do the trick against such viruses. Such illnesses, they explained, are treated like a “common cold” demanding “lots of rest.” -

Next Wednesday Marks Opening Os Lent Season

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Next Wednesday (Feb. 11) marks the beginning of one of the least-understood seasons of the Christian year. It is called Lent, a named derived from an old Anglo-Saxton word for springtime. It is easy to say who observes Lent, and when, and how. The question that causes confusion, even in churches that place great emphasis on Lent, is why. To take up the easy ones first, Lent is observed by all liturgical churches, including the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal and Eastern Orthodox communions. These churches follow an anpient calendar of worship which divides the year into six great seasons— Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter and Trinity. The idea is that this calendar provides an annual rhythm for worship, so that each major aspect of the Christian faith has its own appointed season for special emphasis. See Values In Lent Many Protestant bodies which formerly ignored the liturgical calendar have begun in recent years to see values in it. One result of this so-called liturgical revival is that Lent, is now being observed in a number of Presbyterian, Methodist and other Protestant churches. The date of Lent varies from year to year, because it is tied to the date of Easter. Specifically, Lent is a period of 400 weekdays and six Sundays preceding Eastef. This period was fixed by Pope Felix II in 487 A.D., but his decree merely formalized a custom that was widespread in the Christian church as early as 200 A.D. The Eastern Orthodox churches reckon the date of Easter by a method different from that used in Western churches. Hence their observance of Lent begins on a different date (March 16 this year.) Fast Rules Vary Roman Catholics are enjoined to fast on all week-days during Lent by foregoing meat at two of the three meals. In Eastern Orthodox churches, rules for fasting vary from one archdiocese to another: In some cases they prohibit meat or fish at any of the three meals, but those who are not physically able to stand this regime may confine their fasting to the first and last weeks of Lent. , Episcopal and Lutheran churches leave it up to the individual’s conscience to determine how he will observe Lent. But both encourage systematic act of self-denial. As the Episcopal book of common prayer puts it, each person should practice “such a measure of abstinence" from food or other worldly pleasures as he finds necessary to discipline his appetites and “bring the body into subjection” to the spirit. In addition to fasting, Lent is observed with “extraordinary acts of devotion.” For Catholics, this may mean more frequent attendance at Mass. For Protestants, it is likely to mean Wednesday night worship services, prayer groups, and devotional reading. Lent A Reminder What is the purpose of Lent? In all of the Lenten literature that has been written by Catholic and Protestant scholars, two themes stand out: 1. Lent is an annual reminder to Christians that Jesus did not

promise his followers ease, comfort or success in this life. On the contrary, he said that. “if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Many theologians feel that Lent’s emphasis on sacrifice and self-denial is especially needed by modern Christians, who live in a world that places supreme importance on the pursuit of happiness. 2. As a penitential season.” Lent stresses the Christian teaching that all men are sinners and in need of God's mercy. This doctrine is almost as uncongenial to the modern mind as the ideal of self-denial. But the liturgical churches believe that no man can really comprehend the joy of ' Easter, with its meassage of redemption, until he has faced the ’ fact of his own sinfulness. ,1- — ——~ .... !
