There you} stay with a mark on your forehead and a sentence yegistered in your memory.. Thoughts begin to run through your mind. He spoke the words to all the other people but then the words really didn't mean much. Now, being your turn, You feel the intensity as the words are directed to you and to you alone ... "dust you are and to dust you shall return." After pausing a few moments longer you rise to your feet and return to your seat, or maybe you rush out of the church because you suddenly remember you were to meet someone 10 minutes ago. And there you are, running around town with.a smudge on your forehead. No one bothers to ask why the smudge; they too know it's Ash Wednesday. And now it's evening, andjust before retiring you go, as you usually do, to freshen up. As you look in the mirror you see the ashes again. You laugh to yourself thinking how foolish you must have looked parading around town with this very conspicuous mark. A little embarrassed perhaps, but one thing is certain; you cannot shake that humbling yet cleansing phrase out of your. memory. "Ashes you are and to ashes you shall return," is hardly an exalting phrase. I ,seriously doubt it would stir anyone to jump for joy and click his heels. Then again, that's not its intention. When told I am "dust", my mind im- mediately recalls the single ingredient God used to create our race; that was dust from the ground. From this I gather we should not become an overconfident and presumptuous people. We owe all we are and have to'Him alone. All will not last forever. The phrase "to World War I J.

WILLIAM ERNEST GOOD William Ernest Good, 87, of Pinecrest Nursitrg Home, Lucknow, died Wednesday, Feb. 13, 1985 at home. Born in Hullett•Township on May 19, 1891, -�iidlfl�ll ashes you. shall return" rtw[lftiltds Mee e Death is the personal and inevitable destiny for every member of the human race. Life as we know it here 'on earth will not last forever. The source and the,unaioidable destinyof the human family is sutxttned up in the phrase a"ashes you are and to ashes YOU shall rete t."`it's a phrase we hear on Ash Wednesday; it's a phrase symbolized with ashes on our foreheads, and it's.a thought we carry through the forty days of Lent., The phrase is humbling, to say the least; yet, many love to hear it again and again because it helps them clear their minds and starts them on the way to understanding what life is all about. Lent extends the phrase "ashes you are and to ashes you shall return" over a 40 day period. It is a time when we contemplate the thoughts of Ash Wednesday.. But Lent is more than giving up empty.calories, televi- sion and booze. It is a time when we especially take unto ourselves the things life-giving and eternal. As we fix our eyes on Christ, those things are found. In Christ, the God who suffered and died in our place, we find Him who formed us out of the dust of the earth. In Him we find the God who says "Come unto me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." In Christ we find the --God who returned to the heavenly mansion to prepare a place for us. The message Lent has to offer us, then, goes far beyond mere ashes. Lent would have us come to grips with reality and see man as he really is. No wonder there is a brighter side to Lent. Only when we are free from life are we able to enjoy it. Smudged with ashes, we are cleansed and refreshed as never before. MIL AND MRS. RONALD Eleanor Carretas *eyes dau and Mrs. Reyes of Quezon .Ph>t1f to ; !
