This is the period of the renewal of life. Plants, shrubs and trees apparently dead once come into beauty and productivity again. Christians see in this experience of nature an analogy of human life. The story of Jesus when concentrated in the Lenten period and made away of life does for people what spring does for the world of nature. It brings a renewal of spiritual life. As Peter Marshall put it, ‘We live again.’ The importance of Lent is, therefore, not that it was a time period in the life of Jesus. It is rather the degree in which we transfer 1 into our own lives the spirit which He revealed in His words and His deeds.” Lesson Prayer LESSON PRAYER: Dear Father, we thank Thee that we can always be triumphant over wrong if we maintain a vital relationship with Thee. May we realize anew that life’s truest joy consists in living a righteous life and having the satisfaction that one is on right terms with Thee and with his fellowmen. Give us the courage to meet life, determined to do Thy will, live in harmony and unity with our fellowmen, and thus extend kingdom on earth.

OuRPREMHERfO Xi Our life should be a spiritual matter with its objective the enrichment of personality. Its value should be judged by what it does to persons and for persons. Slavery and serfdom were condemned by Christian standards. Changes have occurred so that more and more we approach the Christian ideal. A new conscience is present and we may hope that in time the Christian spirit will prevail so that a relationship worthy of being called brotherhood may emerge. A HAPPY HOME The following story could be told to advantage by parents to their children in explanation of the meaning of death and the resurrection so that their fear of death is minimized. Suppose one is standing on the shore of the ocean and anchored nearby is a ship with white sails ready to start out to sea. It is something of beauty and strength, but as it goes farther and farther out to sea, it ecomes a mere speck blending with the sky and sea. Someone approaches and says, "Well, she’s gone.” But the ship is not really gone—merely gone from sight. It is just as large in hull and spar and beam as it was in the harbor, er diminished was in the harbor. Her diminished just as one might say, “There, she's gone,” other voices are waiting to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes,”—and that is dying. |o^X ; Way Thoughts for Lent There is a life that is Worth living now, as it was worth living in the formers days, and that is the honest life, the useful life, the unselfish life, cleansed by devotion to an ideal. There is a battle that is worth fighting now, as it was worth fighting them, and that is the battle for justice and equality; to make our city and our state free in fact as well as in name; to break the rings that strangle real liberty and to keep them broken; to cleanse, so far as ‘in our power lies, the fountains of our national life from political, commercial, and social corruption; to teach our sons and daughters, by precept and example. the honor of serving such a country as ours—that is work which is worthy of the finest manhood and womanhood. I I Wisdom •91 It was Anthony’s first ride on a railroad. The train rounded a slight bend and plunged into a tunnel. There were gasps of surprise from the corner where Anthony was sitting. Suddenly the train rushed into broad daylight again, and a small voice was lifted in wonder. “It's tomorrow!” exclaimed the small boy.

SATURDAY, MARCH 11, IMt

The Purpose of Lent Lent affords A new oportunity for all persons who regard the teachings of Jesus as standards of living to renew their spiritual strength and to secure new Understandings of that gospel which alone is the hope of a redeemed humanity. Without new visions and new consecrations, the world will stumble like one suddenly blind in vain attempts to find a path to a righteous civilization. A Christian world is possible and a necessity. We are facing an unequaled opportunity to win new achievments through renewed fellowship with Christ, new aspirations through His religion. WHY NOT ACCEPT THE INVITATION AND COME TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY?
