On Wednesday last began the. season
of Lent; a season observed in the
Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches
as a time of special devotion. It will

In the Roman Catholic church special
directions are issued, regulating the
matters from which the faith fnl are to
abstain. In. the Episcopal church the
details of their seli-denial are left to the
conscience of each member, but the
