o CO D o c TEN MEDFORD (OBKGOV) MAIL TRIBUNE Widnetday. March B, 1957 Ash Wednesday Services Summon Christians To Observance of Lent By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent Washington (UP. Ash Wednesday services in Catholic and Protestant churches today summoned Christians to the 1. 470th anntal observance of the holy season of Lent. Lent has occupied its present place on the church calendar the 40 week days and six Sun days preceding Easter since 437 A D. In that year. Pope Fe lix II formalizes a custom that had been growing in Christian communities since the second century of setting aside a special period of solemn preparation for Easter. Roman Catholics, Episcopal ians and Lutherans always have O placed heavy emphasis on Lent. In recent years, a growing body of Methodists, Presbyterians and other protestants have participa ted in Lenten programs. Lent traditionally recalls to Christians the 40 days of fasting and prayer that Jesus spent in the wilderness to prepare for his ministry. Modern observances vary con siderably from one Christian faith to another. Catholics attach particular importance to Len ten fasting. Adults are expect ed to forego meat at two of their three meals on week days, and many Catholics voluntarily give up some worldly pleasure, such as smoking or eating candy. Some Skeptic "Some people are inclined to look on fasting as an outmoded form of superstitution," said the Very Rev. Francis J. Connell, dean of sacred theology at Cath olic University here. "They ask why a person should deny him self in things that are perfectly lawful, such as the reasonable Qu.e of food. "But the traditional Christian attitude is that voluntarily-imposed acts of self-denial are com mendable because by such acts we confirm our conduct to that of Christ our leader who fasted rigorously for 40 days." Such acts of self-denial, said Dr. Connell, serve at least three spiritual purposes: "They help to strengthen our will; they con stitute a means of atonement for past transgressions; and they can be intended as a petition to the almighty for his mercy on mankind, especially in these, troubled days." Less Emphasis By Protestants Protestants generally place more on "positive" observances of Lent such as reading good religious books and attending mid-week worship services. "I don't believe that 'giving up something for Lent' is an end in itself," said the Rev. William F. Creighton, rector of St. John's Episcopal church, Bethesda, Md. "The purpose of cutting out some of our ordinary activities during Lent is to make room in our lives for a greater concen tration on things of spiritual value. Great Value "Lent can be of great value if it is used as a period of partial withdrawal from the clamor and harassment of everyday life, a time when we renew and deep en our commitment to Christ." He said that Lent above all should be a season of prayer 'private devotional prayer as well as public worship." "Those who do not already have the habit of daily private devotions can find no better time than Lent to start," he said. The Rev. J. R. Taylor, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of the Pilgrims in Washington, said churches of his domination are giving increasing attention to Lent because "we have learned from experience that we need a period of preparation in order to appreciate the full meaning of Easter." Historical Phenomenon "There was a time when most Protestants shied away from Lent as a Roman custom. But we've gotten beyond the point where we're afraid of that. Lent is an historical phenomenon that goes back to the primitive church. And it is easy to see why it has endured so long it meets a deep human need for an annual period of repentance, reconciliation and renewal." SHADY COVE v Cub Scout Awards Given Crater, Eagle Point Share in Tourney Cave Junction Crater and Eagle Point High school Future Farmers of America chapters shared honors here recently at a. state sectional parliamentary and public speaking contest.

Charity Defense by Hospitals Supported Salem (U.R) House bill 334 prohibiting hospitals from using charity as a defense in damage suits is opposed by the Oregon Association of Hospitals on grounds it would greatly increase hospital insurance rates. James G. Swindells, repre senting the association, told a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee yesterday that the bill also discriminates against hospitals by singluig them out from among other charities. The bill, backed by the Oregon State Bar, provides that in any action for damages for injury to person or property caused by negligence, it shall be no de fense that the hospital is an eleemosynary, or charitable, in stitution.
