and to recall to mind the sufferings and agonies of our
Blessed Lord. She begins the season by placing ashes on
the forehead, saying: "Remember, man, that thou art dust,
and into dust thou shalt return." Not a very flattering sen
tence surely, but one that is calculated to bring 'home to the
minds of all the utter insignificance of man. She imposes
penances which will greatly assist in overcoming the on
slaughts of passion; and the mortifications she demands are

morning, all may triumphantly rise with Him whose whole life
was a continuance of mortification and sacrifice. But Lent
is not a season recognized by the Church alone for the gay and
giddy world too desist from its socials, banquets and nearly
all festivities until after Easter. Even the raiment is changed,
the gaudy, flashing colors giving place to the more sombre
and sensible shades of not such an attractive appearance. It
is assuredly a solemn as well as prayerful time, and through
out the whole world its good effects .will be felt. Its benefits
will be bestowed impartially on all who enter with the right
spirit. May it be for us all the most prosperous season we
have yet spent.

create the greatest world. -Joseph Parker.
