A Summons to the Annual Duties Season. e0 etc accorning to Act of the 'Par- • liament of -Canada, in the veer leae thousand Nine leundreti and Pour, • by Wm. Bally, of Toronto, et •tee Department of Agriculture, ()team A despatch from Los Aogoles, Cal., says:—Rev. Frank Do Witt Talrnage preached from the following text: Joel i., 14, "Sanctify ye a fast; call a solemn ctssemblage.'' The Eniscopalian Lent calls a halt to the 800411 dissipations now being praotieed in all the largo cities. It cries, "Peace, be still!" to the social whirlpool, which is gradually sucking dewn its many struggling victims as Peter was once being drawn into the depths qf the Galilean lake. It says to the women of tho "social abyss," "You have something higher to livo 'for than a nightly round of recap- Itstions and patties and a never ending succession of afternoon teas." It says to the young men of the "social abyss," who, under the power of stimulants, are trying to work in ' the store by day and to dance .alinost every night until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, "Young man, you had better stop and consider to what purpose you 'aro devoting the best • energies of your life." In warns the social devotee of the spiritual danger •of his course, as a noted capitalist • -warned him of the financial danger, • When some time ago ho said: "The young men who will not succeed in bufi'iness are those who night after night may be found in the lsallroonis and the dance halls and at the city clubhouses drinking a little, playing scards a little andr eating expensive dinners. They are sometimes celled the drams of society. This is a mis- nomer. Like some small insects that sport for a day in the summer sun- shine, they are minute destructives. "Their lives in the economy • of social life make one of tie) petty agencies of degeneration. ' Was not the capitalist right? Aro not the ballroom and the dance hall and the clubhouse a continual men- ace to success in business? Can a young man go to a progressive euchre • party and - play ' cards • until 11 •o'clock and sit down to a midnight • banquet and then be in the right physical and mental toim to sell goods in the store the next morning? Is not the social shrine also a very poor foundation upon -which to build the altar of Jesus Christ? Is not most of its 'influence spiritually •pleting? OBEY TETE :DIVINE GOMMAED. ' Is not ,society's call too, often "tile • call of the wild?" • In the social 'world when you give a banquet do • you not for the most part ask only -those in .your • own social set? Do •you obey the divine command. "When •ythou makest a dinner or a supper •' +(call net thy friends nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen nor thy rich • neighbors •lest they also bid thee .again and a recompense be made • thee. But when thou makest a feast 'call the poor', the rn.aimed, the lame, the blind, and thou shalt be blessed, for they cannot recompense thee, but thou _shalt be recompensed ' at the • resurrection of the inst." Is not -Society's call often "the call (Witte -wild" because it is a call to selfish- ness, the call of only doing good to • them who do good to you? Is it not often the call merely of wealth -to associate with wealth and social •.easte with social caste? Oh, yo wor- ehipers at the social shrines, better head to -day the. Lenten call! Better *nun' out the many liglits of the ballrooms and the banquet halls! Know ye not that during tho -"spring fast" the lowly Nazarene is knocking at the door Of your hearts trying to _get in? THE LENTEN CALL. a, The Episcopalian Lent, in the next Ile place, is a protest against business •,absorption. It says to the merchant, the manufacturer and the profession- itl man: "You have a right to work. Indeed, you must work and work hard if you are to support our family and .ineet the financial nacos- sities which are yours. But, oh, man, you have no right to make the Requisition of money the chief object of your life any more than you have a right to live to eat. `By the sweat •of thy face shalt thou eat ;woad.' But that sweat •should not make thee indifferent to God or to the bigher purposes •of life, for which • thou west created." But tho great danger of numey „making is that the •acquisition of wealth may become a passion. The • calls of the money market become so great and urgent that an average • business man does not feel that be has time to stop and think about his relations to God. Amid the whirl of business activities he feels • a great deal as did Oliver Wendell • Ilolines during his trip through Eng - heed. He said he went so fast he bad time "te talk with lots 4,1 peo- • ple, but he had tined to have a true conversation with none." Ily that • the poet Holmes Ineaut that he had three to drop here a word arid there a word, but he went through Europe MO quickly he had no time to ex- change heart to heart thoughts with thinkers, os he did with Max Muller when he lay in his house siek for nearly a week. But, though the busk' Dress world would demand all of mart's enbegies, the Lenten season tonics itito o buey ineechant's life and se /Myra "Oh, ream you should never 3, be too Nifty to take time to think of your responsibilities US God!" So „ the Episcopalian Lent sends its beet 4lIlleinen straight into the very heart of " 1Wra1I stint. In old Trinity • eluerth in the husicat port of the day during the T ehten reason we hear the Chile - tat, peen char's vo lee cal 1 MS; ifS do the ArekanneeSait privets from lhe Miesssets• 01 the eaelern inoeques: of the "Oh, husioese men, come to pray- ers! Come to prayers! Oh, ye busi- nese meta come to prayers, come to prayers, come to prayerst'' SPIRITUAL HOUSECLEANING. The Episcopalian Lent, in US next •place, is a time for spiritual house- cleattieg. As the "spring fast" lin- me.dately suaceeds the timeswhen the business man takes an account of stock, we find the spring fast comes just before the days when the house- wives are turning the hoeses upside down in their semiannual attacks anon the duet and the moths. It is the time which we husbands dread, but it is the limeeecleiening time, •which cooly prudent wire declares is essential for the physical health of her family. It is absolutely neces- sary to la3cP physical dirt out of a house, yet in spite of all precautions it will keep creeping in everywhere. 3.n spite of all our prosautions Coe eninute, innumerable stains of sin, will creep into tlie heart. Therefore edth year it is very • desirable to obey the call to the Lenten • spring fast. • Spiritual housecleaning does not mean the complete abstinence from rhysical food. It does mean em- phaticaly the reconseeration and the rededication of the domestie fireside to Jesus Christ through self abnega- tion. it means that we shall have prayers at the cradle. It moans that we • shall have prayers in the bed- room and prayers. in the parlor and praeors in the sitting .room and prayers in the kitchen and have the dinirg room spread with a gospel bangeet, of the "bread of life." If next week you were to entertain the king of England or the emperor of Geonany, you would turn your home upside , down to make it attractive for the advent of his majesty. Shall we not in tee same way, by spiritual housecleaning, prepare for the enter- tainment of our 'Heavenly King by casting out of doors all sinful thoughts and desires which find lodgment In our hearts? • FOR BETTER CHURCH LIFE. The Lenten season is an annual !plea for the spititualization of the church. Ministers of the different Protestant churtbes ' are more and more getting into the custom of go- ing into a "retreat" at least once a year, where by fasting and prayer they • may spititualle prepare teem- eelees for their ecclesiastical minis- trations. At least once a year ,as church members we should gii into a sei itual "retreat." En- that "re- treat" We should call upon our • Heavenly Father that the Holy Spir- it may bless us in our relationship with • our midweek prayer ineetings and Sunday schools and Christian Endeavor societies and bless us in aur relationship to his great church M large. After Jesus Christ drove the mon- ey changers out of the temple, were the attempts to secularize the house of God into a. place for mere Leittca- tisnal and literary and mosical and social and •Imancial enjoymeet • for- ever abandoned ? Do not some of es, consciously and unconsciously, fall into the error of coming to church merely on account of the or- atoxical gifts of the preacher ? Did ,not thousands upon thousands of worshippers sit at the feet of a Beecher, a Cuanoing, a Rowland TIM and a John Wesley, not because they were worshipping Coif, but rather because teey were evorseiping a bril- liant inten ? Do not thousands upon thousanres of people go to the great cathedrals of Europe in order to hear the =eta just as those same musiral• lovers would sit at the feet cf a Liszt, a Paclerowski or a Dana reach ? HEED THE SUMMONS. Oh„ 'yes, my filends, the church members should heed tbe Lenten summons. They ehould heed the spiritual call, which esters above the diecerclant ones of the busy marts even as the clear note of the thrush may be heard above the bedlam of the woofs sounding tte reveille of the -morning. They ehould hear the Lenten call welch says to the clergy- man, "Oh, orditined underehopherd of the ObrIstian puloit, clown on rem' knees and Pray !" Lent, tails to the elders and deacons and Sun- day school °Incas, "Down on your knees and pray !" It calls to the lay members, whether be nrcionded anti in silks or in humble homespun, "Down on your knece in •prayer !" that we might all heed the spir- itual Leeten tall and make Christ's church a veritable "house of pray - ere' Thue,, my friends, the spring fast calls to the men in the social world and to thermos Ill the business world and to the men in the home and to the men in the church to come to prayere. It calls at tiffs time be- cause on the corning ed Ash W0cfnes- Clay wo shall celebrate the beginning of one Of the 'most triumpbant and ;yet saddest times of all Christ's earthly existence. The Jordanie baptisin was jest over. Christ was about to begin his dielne • mission. We know not how far the human nature he assumed may have obscur- ed iOr the time the 'divine attributes ho eosetessed. It may be that in those forty days of solitary thought and prayer he realized more clearly than in his former years the eub- thrifty of his work and of his alma flee.

Let us yield fully to the will of God, to do or to suffer, and enter into the • joy of this marveloue relationship and hear Him day by day say to us: "Let us pass over."

It was evening when they started to cross the lake, and ale had just finished speaking many parables and teaching them many things and was evidently weary in body. That may possibly be the significance of Mark's remark, "They took I3im even as He was." As they sailed He fell asleep, poseibly while communeng with His Father about the events of the day, for IIe was truly a man and the great storm that siulilenly swept down upon the lake did not awaken There was nothing in His soulbut perfect peace, and such a mind can sleep quietly under any cire curnstances. Even I, a sinner saved by grace, have proved it in storms at sea and dangers on land. He has told us that we shall meet storms as we journey day :by day, but peace through all is our privilege (John xive, 1, 27; xiv., 33; Matt. xxiv., 6). °Min:lee He seems to us to be in- different as to what is happening to us, .but He does care always, and I.
