four hundred million CbrlHtlan people

Komo Hay It Ih almply "a Burvlval of

"church people are taking a reHt from
Koclnl HctlvltleB, ull of which will be
ri'Hiuned with renewed energy after
KaHler." OtherH will kIvo It up, ami
look mi, puzzled at the Htrangu Idea
which year by yeur dominate!) ho many
mlndH.
AKaln, then, what docn It mean,
what Im I'iit, bow and when did It
originate? t( find the annwer we
miiHt k hack nearly 1800 yearn In tho
blHtory of the churchea. Tho carlleat
reference to tho ly nted faHt Ih found
In the writing of tho church father,
IrenaeiiH. Irenaeun wa born In A. I)
130 and wuh HlHhop of Lyoim In Gaul,
modern France. There was dtfrlng tho
time of Irenaeun u controvemy con
cernliiR tho proper time for obHervIng
Kantr-r. IrenaeiiH, In a letter to anoth
er HlHhop, refer to the controversy,
and Incidentally to tho faHt which was
kept before KaHter. IIIh words are:
"Some think they Hhould faHt one day,
others two, others yet more, and this
variety In if b observance has not orig
inated In our time, but long before In
the days of our anciHtors."
Now, when wo remember that Iren
aeiiH wan born within forty years after
the death of the laHt of the A pontics,
that ho had been Instructed by Poly
crap, whoawnH a companion and pupil
of tho ApoKtle St. John, and wben we
remember that IrenaeiiH Rpeaks of the
fast before KaHter as long established,
It Is obvious that tho fast must have
originated noon after tho days of the
ApoHtles, If not while they lived.
At fliHt the length of tho fast was 40
hourH, but the time was grudually In
creased until. In the fourth century, we
find It lasting 40 days. The present
mode, by which It begins on Ash Wed-
' ncHiIay dates from tho close of tho
nlxth century.
The primitive purpose of tho Lenten
fiiHt was tho commemoration of tho
Morrows, death and burial of the Sa
viour, the 40 hours corresponding t
the llmo that elapsed between the
suffering death of Christ and IIIh res
urrection. Hut. as time went on anoth
er feature came In, und luit was made
b season of spiritual discipline for sins
a neaiion of spiritual discipline. On tho
first day of the fast those who were
under eccleniaatlca! discipline for sins
committed appeared before the lilsh
opn "clothed with Hack cloth, with bare
feet and eyes turned t tho ground."
The Jilshops and clergy recited the
penitential pnaluiH and suitable pray
ern, then riHlng, the Hlshops threw
usheH over the penitents as a Hlgn of
their mortality. Jienco the origin of
tho Ash Wednesday.
Ihe modern puriKse of .Lent Is to
provide a Benson of special prayer and
penitence, a time of Holf-dlsclpllne of
examining one's Hplrltual standing.
I Joes not every man need some such
provision? The purpose of this life
is to educate tho houI in a righteous
ness that will make it meet for enter
ing on tho future life. Does not every
man need a time at which to stop and
enquire what progress ho Is making
in righteousness?
1 ne lynien season proviries such a
time, at which to ask one's self for
what am I living? Is It for the present
or tho future? For hIii or for rights
eoimncss? For self or for God? Am
I living to eat and drink, and dress, to
buy and Bell, and get gain?? Or is
there, back of all these things, a bet
tor and higher motive God and right
eousness? Now this Ih tho question the church
desires every soul to face during the
Lenten season ; to face It manfully, to
face It honestly, and to protlt by fac
ing It This Is the purpose of Lent.
This being so, those customs which
have prevailed In the church In all
agoB find an adequate explanation.
Prayer, abstinence, alms-giving, self
denial, multiplied religious services,
all find a place, because they help to
bring the soul into that Rtate in which
It is able to search for itself.
In the observance of Lent It will be
as in the observance of other means
of Grace. Some will use It faithfully.
by a consistent use of Its time honor
ed customs. Others will "make light
of It" And here as elsewhere "what
soever a man soweth that shall be
reap."
