Catholics, Episcopalian*. Lutherans and Eastern Orthodox Christians always have placed great ■ emphsis on years. Lenten observance has been growing rapidly among Presbyterians, Methodists and other Protestants. Each person decides for himself how he will keep Lent. The Catholic Church prescribes certain minimum rules of fasting (adults must forego meat at two of their three meals on weekdays!, but leaves the individual free to choose what further sacrifices he will make. Millions of Catholics voluntarily give up drinking, smoking, movies or other worldly pleasures. Protestant Fasting Differs Many Protestants also fast during Lent. But fasting in Protestant usage id not necessarily related to food, it simply means making yourself do without something which you particularly enjoy—perhaps something as worthwhile as Listening to symphonic records, or as harmless as reading detective stories. Both Protestants and Catholics believe that Lent should be a time for adding as well as subtracting. The ■ positive" aspects of Lenten observance include more frequent attendance at worship services, extra periods of devotions, reading religious books, participating in discussion groups, and undertaking special acts of voluntary service, such as visiting hospitals. These things, however, also have a sacrificial aspect- since they involve giving up time which might, in other seasons, be spent in rest or recreation.

For many centuries the Christian church has, in varying ways, observed the season of Lent. The word "Lent” comes from the old English word “Lencten" which means spring. It' is a season of penitence and is a period of forty days (from Ash Wednesday to the eve of Easter I not counting Sundays. Easter is observed among us on the first Sunday following the first full mbon after the spring equinox. The lenten theme is based upon the example and teaching of Jesus and is continuous with the life and history of the church. The spirit of Lent is not to be confined to these forty days even as the spirit of Christmas and Easter should not be limited to the one day. The mission of Lent is that of Spiritual Discipline, Exercise and Preparation. Friday, March 4, the world day of prayer will be observed in the Presbyterian church with the program to begin at 1:30 p.m. Additional services will be conducted for children at the First Baptist church at 3:30 and the Missionary church at 3:30 p.m. MISSIONARY Tenth and Dayton Streets Gerald I.

William Hazlitt once said that “the mind of man is like a clock that is always running down, and requires to be constantly wound up.”'l would agree and hasten to add that perhaps this is also true of man’s soul.
