To Barley V LENTEN PASTOR AL VENITE, ADOREMUS! (From Rev. Upton U. Gibbs to hrs Parlshonfrs) MY DEAR FRIENDS AND PARISHIONERS: ? ,. "We shall utterly miss grasping the true inward- ness of Lent if we fair to hear its call: "O, come, ht -us worship and fall down; and kneel before the Lord, our Maker." It may be urged that Repentance and Conversion constitute) chiefly the burden of its cry, 1 but these are only preparatory to tjie end that we may the more worthily worship God. We are lnclin- -ed to regard worship on its brighter and joyous to the exclusion of its penitential side. "0 come, let us sing unto the Lord, let us heartily rejoice In the ' strength of our salvation:" forgetting that this la but part of the service. 1 ' ? . Before wei are thus called upon to praise, we are first solemnly summoned to confession of sin and : :' it is not until we have humbly acknowledged and confessed our sins and received the declaration of absolution, that we can suitably "enter Into His courts with praise." ' ! - Lent, Holy Week and Easter represent a complete . . and perfect round of worship In all Its component ' parts, beginning with the misereres as we recall the fight made in the wilderness, and the sublime sacri fice on Calvary, for us men and our salvation, and cudi-s is. tic triurbi:t tuTrt of A!?1"1, ' greet the risen and victorious Savior. ' I wish to sound emphatically this Lent the nots of worship, ' because its paramount obligation is being fast lOBt sight of. The courts of th;: Lord's House are forsaken without regret or compunction by thoBe who ought therein to assemble themselves together, The excuses which are made for this neglect are self condemnatory, because they are seldom such as would be considered valid for breaking business or social engagements. This indicates either great ig norance, or indifference for the law is "I am the Lord Thy God thou shalt have no other gods before ' me."-- . ' : ;-: ' The exhortation in the office of Morning Prayer states succinctly the reasons of our worship, which admit of a fourfold division, of thanks, praise, in-, structlon and petition. These can be classified under two general heads of giving to and receiving from God. The first is a duty, the second is a privilege, eo ' the neglect of worship involves the sin of withhold-' lng from God what Is His due and depriving our selves of that which is essential to our truest and ' ' highest welfare. We should remember also that religion centers In', the heart and worship is distinctly a funcuun of the heart; "Sursum Cordal" "Lift up your hearts; Tb lift them up unto the Lord." It Is Tiot surprising, thm that the abandonment of worship entails coldneB and indifference in religion. So, this' Lent, I beg of you my friends to adopt as your watchword that which the Bishop of California has recently given his diocese: "Back to our altar." hit this Holy season bet tine of a higher standard of devotion both private and public, that we may learn to say with the Psalnjlst. "I was glad when they said unto me let us go 'into the house of the Lord." Affectionately Yours, .,. UPTON H. GIBB3. La Grande, Oregon. I QuInquageslma Sunday. FebrOHry L'6, 1911. SPECIAL SERVICES .
