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."

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. Now, most charitable institu
tions cannot be sued lor wrong
