THE VALUE OF LENT Tim trnrilHnnnl observance of The traditional observance oi Lent is an. interesting contrast With the spirit Of the modem AVOrld.'With its emphasis On phy- sical pleasure, tlie Value of nion- ey. and the search for amuse- ments. says the Pendleton Til- . ' . J , buiie. The modern world ques- tions such a CUStOhl and pokes furi, at it, as rnqrely a. .relic Of formalism., Yet it may have ,a value not suspected in qup'hur- . . , - , frying -Jffe. 'ine ciiurcn aeeb, tlie spirit of the age enough so that old rigors of its observance have disappeared. Of. course there are still a large number of v. ., , .. .,si persons havuig a keen spintual and mystical sense, who follow it in much Of the old fashioned manner. They deny the flesh the things the flesh craves.There by they feel that the galling - . . , grip of matenal thoughts upon b. 1 . i-t it their spirits is relaxed. Earth Beems more distant and heaven nearer. To the maiorify of people dis- , - . -1 , . , tant; visions epme hard. The burdens .and the facina'tions of the world fill their minds and; can't be evaded. Life is a strug gle in which they heed all of the etrpnMh tTifiv nnte&sk. i, , , , , ,. The churches make liberal modi flcations of the Old rule' of Leilt to "working people." Most peo Die1 in thig unsniritual ace eiV2 their bodies the benefit of the , , , ... . , . doubt and live a good deal as usual. Yet there ..are thous- ands of society-people to Whom a 'Lenten season of self denial would be a godsend. It would rest, their strained nerves, give , . , , ' y ' , overloaded stomachs a rest from hearty late eating, give them needed sleep. Many of them in- Btihctly feel this and welcome a period of quiet and ' abster.- tion. But the majority still con- tinue wearintr out bodv and soul In the frenzied effort to kill time and fill life ever fuller of thrill3 rind novelty. Life consists of readjustments and change. You are alwayj thinking or getting things set- tied so they will run along in i even grooves of regularity, Alii things don't work that way. If you don't enjoy today and get the most good out of it yoa rife ' losing something you can neer regain. uegiauoi me uecause n gives you the chance to' love and to wbrlt and play and to look up ' at' the stars.
