Los Angeles, Cal.: Arcade Station. sale @ally in New | Times | S 2 LENT All over the world there lions of people unostentatiously ob- serving this Lenten season by acts of self-denial, hours of thought, days of | devotion to contemplation of the divine. In _former days such observ- ance was limited to the more ritualis- tle creeds, but as the ycars have pass- ed the recognition of the profound im- pressiveness of this season has become more general as, perhaps, the severity of the requirements for proper ob- servance of these forty days has been lightened. It there is one thing in life of which ‘we may be quite sure it is that faith, hope, love have inspired man's great- est blessings, and In this admission we pay unconscious tribute to Him who stood for faith, for hope, for love, ‘Without these three, the greatest of which is love, little joy and happiness would come from life; without His inspiration their power would not be recognized. If we may stamp men by the deed they do surely we may prize or discard thought by the resuits of such thought, and through this rea- #oning we may look upon religion and its fruits in but one way—the way that shows what has come from it through- out the world, A moment spent In practical reflection will convince that there is as the inspiration of every un- selfish attempt to make the world and the people of it better, happier, stronger in mind and body, and urge of religion in the hearts of men and women. To bring faith, to give hope, to create universal love, man for man; 10 aid the unfortunate and the suf- foering and to bring justice to all— these are the moving motives of those in whose llves spiritual things play a & chief part. The greatest of men and the greatest of women have in all hu- mility, confessed their 'dependance upon divine strength. And through such humble confessions the great have been made greater. It is good that there remains in a world stirred often to turmoil, a vast army which pauses at this Lenten n, to give practical thought to the Jast days of Him to whom the great sacrifice was a human sacrifice in its suffering—a divine joy in knowledge are mil- | him ser {1y.

FILLING STATIONS A year or S0 ago we e inspired to draw a mental picture of our streets if gasoline filling stations were allow- ed to be put up Indiseriminately. There came a little period of quiet along this line and then we all became interested in the zoning matter, Pouf ~—people hegan to ask permits for putting up shops in residential dis- tricts and now comes a floed of re- quests for the erection of gasoline fill- ing stations. Well, they be allowed to go up, that is all there is to it. Tonight there is to be a special meeting of the common council to consider an ordl- nance drafted by the corporation counsel to restrict such activities, We do not know, personally, any person or persons who have made such ap- plications for permits, so these com- ments are entirely inspir by con- cern that the disadvantages of having ing streets lined with these filling sta- tions be considered carcfully and by th'e hope that the restrictive ordinance will be strong enough to prevent im- proper erection of these stations and the erection of too many of them. A distinguished guest of New Brit- ain today expressed pleasurc at being informed that we were planning to adopt a zoning ordinance, and he re- — - 88888008508800808888850.49 '3 25 Years Ago Today (Taken from Herald of that date IR DA Ll LR L A A .
