ASH WEDNESDAY.
This is Ash' Wednesday, tl e
beginning. of the LetUen season,
which embraces the forty days
preceding Easter or resurrection
Sunday.
-The custom, of dividing the
year into certainchutch seasons
is probably not tracable to the
apostolic period, but is at legist
Iracablo to about the year GOO.
There is a beauty and sig
nificance, about these terms that
probably Ipst much of their hold
cn the church through the os-
. traugemcnt consequent upon the
reformation ol flio K5tli century.
Tuesday preceding Ash Wed
lio'Juv called Shrovetide or
Shrove Tuesday, a day originally
liiuikcd by festivities, or rather
the ending " of festivities, on
which tho early Christians' con
IejL;lbiio'vero 'heard prior to the
Lenten season. Shrove is the
pust'lonso of shrive, - which 'sig
nifies the hearing of confessions.
liio (Catholic church adheres
most closely to the usage, hence
-tho Mardi Gras at New Orleans,
which closer on Tnesday.
Ash "Wednesday has its signi
Jieaaco from the impressive cus
toia of tho early church when
the palm branches, consecrated
in the celebration of . Palm Sun
day of the former year were
burned and the ashes kept for
this Asu Wednesday when the
priest sprinkled these ashes on
tho people while he repeated the
Latin ritual, which .being trans
lated is, "Remember that' thOu
art dust and must return .to
dust." " . . " ! ;
Stated seasons or periods of
abnegation, humiliation, fasting,
. discipline of the carnal appetites
and propensities liave ever be6ii
regarded by the church as pro-
fi tableland conducive to spiritual
jiro'Alh.
. As forty days is so conspicu
ously a?;Qciatcd with events in
Bible history connectm, as it
were, haveii and tiarth most
clo.ly, it is eminently appropri
ate that the 10 days including
passin wfiek and terminating
witli the uslufriyg in of the
4 'que:" of all fostaV days, Eas
ier, should be reganfed ahd
cherished by the chtfrch as ajpe
rid c special spiritual training.
What Sas become ol the tra
ditional warnj spell of weather in
Febiuary? It has not greeted
us for so long that the idea oy
sticks to us as a noStsJosy
does. Last year the crouncl-hosr
'got rattluh between sunshine
and cloud an? thetottom of the
either bureau almost dropped
out. This yoar if f?o came out
a.t all ho probably froze in his
tracks. So the weather has not
boor, vi: it used to be, and thero's
no telling what's coming. It re
minds one of a sick man, who on
bfiins? visited bv a friend and
cj -
asked of his condition said, "Oh,
I'm mighty; poorly) and some
times I get worse." ,
