if any help he possiMe. Hence the ueeit
of Lent, as a time fur special slf exam

seivance. May I lie of help to you thi
Lent by appealing to you in twofold
i way.
I "As individuals; Alone with (iod

all voitr pasi sins. Devote more tune
to private praver, and to the devotional

acts of self denial real i iioiigh to be
felt especially of sm-li a kiml as will
allow you greater means for almsgiving
and offering.-: to the idiurch. Mav this
Lent be to vim all a respite both from
worry and rXeess ot amusement
ties, pl:i. s and the like which during
. this penitential season the church eon
siders uiiidirisi Ian and I'Vi'ii the world
I considers 'bad form.'
" As a congregation: Our besetting
) sin is the breaking of the Lord's day,
- or neglect of the public worship of al
mighty (bid. This terrible impiety.
which is widespread among us. is a
j threefold evil. t It is a' symptom of spir
? itual disease; it is itself a grievous sin,
and is a sure cause of religious decay
1 and death.
4 A wave of iiTeiigioti has been
i sweeping over this country. Wonie who
used always to be 'in the spirit on the
Lord's day, hegan In spend that most
holy and blessed day in mere idleness
mid sloth, then in purely physical exor
cises and amusements or in domestic
and social festivities, forgetting God.
lint such waves nt" popular corruption
and folly ought no more to move a
churchman and 'child of God than the
passing clouds move a granite hill.
- "I therefore bespeak your faithful
and loving observance of this Lent, with
nil its duties and its privileges, and its
opportunities for public worship and in
nt rncl ion.

sionary apportionments and of assess

missions outside of Oregon, and ."it cents
per communicant for diocesan missions.
'Let every man do according as he is

that all of us. clergy and laity alike,
