THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS HOW’ SHALL WE KEEP THE LENTEN SEASON? By REV. EVERETT DEAN ELLENWOOD, PASTOR UNIVERSALIST CHURCH tot••••••••••••»••••••••••••••••••• ill I N MAKING grateful acknowledg ment to the editor of The Geor* gian for the splendid suggestion* contained In the editorial tuusterple. e III the issue of Wednesday evening. February 28, entitled "A Practical Hac- rlflie for Lent." I desire also h( UiIm time to express the genuine gratitude I feel for the good fortune of the people of this Community and the Southland In I he possession of h great and rapidly growing dally newspaper whose edi torial thought Is formulated by u^cttl- tured and enlightened heart as well as by a most excellent equipment of brains. Realizing as I certainly do that the dally paper constantly preaches to mure human soul* than do all of the professional preachers combined. 1 deem It an occasion for genuine thanksgiving wherever there Is found an editor with a profound sense of the itemendous leaponUbHUy uf ilia oppor tunity. one fortunate In an endowment of heart and head In saving propor tions and whose eloquence Is Judicious ly administered with practical piety. The editorial page of The Georgian never- disappoints. Would thut we might say as much of all «*f our friends! The special editorial mentioned above should tie printed In large, bold type, appropriately framed. or "dolt* Roy- croftle." and hung In the entrance 10 every house of worship and also upon lhe wall of the living room of every j home in our land Ko catholic Is it (titular or even an occasional contributor! | Its spirit and application that Its suit-! toward her support i gestions may certainly be received with j No fear need be entertained con-! ! profit even by those whose religious I cernlng any obscuration of the primal j | training or traditions make no provi- purpose and meaning of Lent.

I flees count perceptibly upon the side lluddhlst or what not. every son of God. by the very necessities of Ills spir itual endowment, requires and should have a religious home, and one of his surliest moral obligations U that the legitimate ex {tenses of that home should he cheerfully and promptly met And what better use may he made • f the savings or products of this season of "giving up" *or self-saci Itice than that they should lift the burden of in debtedness from the Institution which plays so very perceptible n part In the creation and the saving of material wealth? How much more nf meaning might be given to the discipline of our self-sarrjflre could It have hut a defl- righteousness men are not at all likely ( to lose from their hearts the meaning ] of the sacrifice. We do not suffer any ' loss In true spirituality as we Increase In practicability. An Impression un fortunately {irecalls In some quarters that spirituality consists in doleful countenances, melancholy movements, hushed conversation and extraordinary i familiarity with stated forms of prayer j and psalmody. Not a few good but mis- j taken Individuals who fondly Imagine | that they are spiritually minded and • therefore saved ate only chronically dyspeptic and therefore damned What they need to make them not only good. | but also good for something. Is not ; Ing of I«ent will be an increase In deep personal Interest In the church and Its work, for It Is hut natural that the spiritual and Intellectual Interest of men should most closely attach to that Institution In which they have taken a financial Interest. The church .lias won her hardest battle for possession of a man's heart when he ha* 1 reached the point w here he w ill say.
