Wo quote the portion to the t oiireatiotis.

Hence the ueeit of Lent, as a time fur special slf exam hint inn, and t lie wisdom oi' our hotv seivance. May I lie of help to you thi Lent by appealing to you in twofold i way. I "As individuals; Alone with (iod examine your lives and repent truly for all voitr pasi sins. Devote more tune to private praver, and to the devotional reading of the gnsprls. Dm some good en idi day. 1'raclice reasonable welf-d nial in eating and drinking. Make real 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. Special Offerongs. : "1 would remind you of our mis sionary apportionments and of assess ments for the Kpiscopal fund, for which iiinnv appeals reach you, some of them from mv own pen. Would that those appeals 'were not necessary! Would that he bishop and his clergy were relieved from Hcning laMe Hint ''' miKht monJ. abundantly administer the word r i:..d. t'h. that ear laily would ro- -Jnse the vleigv from s.. much distaste If ul importniiing nml le.intf " ping and harping aboui necessary ex-j p.-n-. until men's s.liitiril senses are dull, and take these llriigs upon ihciri nun shouldeis. wheie they belong. Kx ! ninine the tuluil.ite.l staletnent printed in Trtnitv t'liiints and the Portland Clmrchninu and note what is Imped for from your parish, and do your best to meet the siluntion. The apportion meats are on a basis of 4.1 cents for missions outside of Oregon, and ."it cents per communicant for diocesan missions. 'Let every man do according as he is disposed in his heart, not grudgingly, or of necessity; for timl lobeth a cheerful Riven. . ' Finally, it is my wish and prayer that all of us. clergy and laity alike, may make our Kaster communion worth ily, devoutly, and to nur great and end less comfort. 'Faithfully and affectionately yours, "tilAKLKS SrADDIXG, "Bishop of Oregon." John II.
