Lloyd & Adams.
A gentleman reached the city to
day from Jacksonville, and says he
could learn nothing there about this
city. Wouldn’t it be well for -our
railroad and steamboat lines to do-a
little advertising in that direction?

Mrs. William Berrie left last night
for Milledgeville to nurse her sister,
Mrs. Taylor who is sick. Billy says:
“She took some of the children and
left the rest fer me to take care of.”
Guess she left none that could not
take care of themselves.
Capt. George Fahm, of Boston, Go.
is in the city on a visit to his mother
and family. The town has grown so
in the past few years that the Cap
tain had quite an experience last
night in finding his way home from
the show. Says ho thinks he must
have traveled “at least 26 miles.”
Guess his figures were considerably
exaggerated, but nevertheless they
show what progress is being made,
when a man who was raised here gets
lost in flndipg his way home to hie
mother’s house, and ho plumb sober.

Since early this moral
worshipers have assoml
three churches belonging
copalians and Roman Ci
each of which the begin
“Great Forty Days” has
with tho rites appropriate to tho oc
casion. At tho Romalji 'Catholic
church the faithful wore - signed on
thetf. foreheads with aV rbss, the
thumb of the Priest being- lipped in
the ashes of the palm, hi seed last
year on Palui Sunday, blest id as so*
crcd ashes this morning^ iprinklcd
with holy water, and dulyiumigatcd
with incense. Over each kneeling pen
itent were recited in Latin,tho words:
“Remember, O man, that, thou art
dust, and unto dust shElt-* thou re
turn.” In the Anglican .elfcrch, and
those in communion with her, these
ceremonies were dropped at , the Re
formation, as experience proved they
tonded to superstition, evemeducated
persons attaching amaglcajj-efiflicacy
to the blessed ashes. Her ceremonial,
though plainer,is tho more impressive
from the fact of its being conducted
in a tongue and manner understood
by the people.
The word Lent is derived from the
old Saxon .word “Lenten” or Spring,
as the Fast of Lent always occurs at
that season of tho year. In the Ro
man Missal it* still retAins its Latin
name of Quadragesima, or space of
forty days, and since the second cen
tury the Lenten discipline—always
observed in the church, since Apos
tolic times—has been of obligation on
the faithful. Tho Greek church in
sists on a corporal fasting fifom sun
rise to sunset, which is literally ob
served by all, except the very young,
tho very old, and invalids, and in
cludes the most rigid abstinence from
flesh meat. In tho Roman Church,
what with the most delicate cooking,
tho most expensive fish, the non-pro
hibition of spirituous and fermented
liquors, and tho dispensations
even from abstinence from flesh meat,
except among the religious orders,
fasting is nearly nominal. No re
striction is put upoii amusements, nor
are any extra devotions preached up
as of obligation. In the Anglican com
munion tho season is very strictly
observed. Fasting and abstinence
and self-mortification are inculcated
and practiced, though tho church
leaves it to the consciences of her

people how they shall follow out her

teaching.
As a rule these extra observances
assume the form of works of charity
and mercy, denying oneself of luxu
ries and giving tho proceeds to the
poor, more frequent attendances at
the sfervices which ore always in
creased during Lent, and greater
time given to private devotion and
self examination. As a rule, mar
riages are not celebrated daring this
season, a rule more rigidly observed
in tho Anglican than in the Roman
communion, except by the royal fam
ily of England, nearly every member
of which has hecn married in Lent,

this as on every other phase of eccle

theatres arc closed by law on Ash
Wednesday, on which day likewise
the members of the Houses of Lords
and Commons attend service at the
Church of St. Margaret, Rector the
Ven. Archdeacon Farrar, adjoining
Westminister Abbey, that being
their parish chnrch, and listen to a
sermon appropriate to the occasion
Ash Wednesday is of more mod
ern date than the Fast of Lent, which
really begins next Sunday. But as
no fast is ever observed on the Lord’s
Day, St. Augustine anathematized
all who should follow such a prac
tice; Pope Felix III, in the year 487
first added the four days from Ash
Wednesday inclusively to complete
the number of fasting days to forty,
of which thcsoa8on actually consists;
Popo Gregoiy the Grent in the sixth
century introducing the. sprinkling
of ashes on the first of these four ad
ditional days,* hence called Dies Cin-
crum—Ash Day. This practico the
Council of Beneventum in tho year
1091 strictly enjoined on the whole
church as of obligation, the English
Reformers abolishing it, “as being a
mere shadow, or vain show.” R.
