Here is a suggestion of the true signiâ€" fieance of Lent that has often escaped us in most of the conventional observances of the period. If you are in revolt hgminst the setting aside of this period every year for conventional religious forms and ceremonies, and if Lent has come to meah a dark, dreary and negative season of the year, remember that Lent stood not for conâ€" traction but for expansion, not for drebriness but for joy, not for death but for the surging, puising life Spring symbolizes.

Many, of course, will keep Lent because it is the conventional thing to do. They have always kept it. They will keep it again. But apart from making petty sacrifices and tithing anise and cummin to saive guilty consciences while the weightier things of life are neglected, Lent will come and Lent will go without any enrichment of life. For petty abstinence and mere formalism never will make great souls. Others, however, who, like Jesus, have very little time for doing conventional things, but who know how to live according to the laws of God, will find in Lent this year that which will leave them nobler men and worgen. woods and beside the lake, while many nights were spent alone with his soul and God.

The board of directors of Highâ€" land Park‘s Community Center held a meeting on Tuesday of this week at the Center‘s headquarters at which time progress of the organiâ€" zation to date was discussed along with the outline of the tentative proâ€" gram to be followed in the immeâ€" diate future.

Sherer, George Scheuâ€" chenpfiug, and Alfred C. Houser. The committee in the course of its discussion came to the conclusion that none were better fitted to outâ€" line the course to be taken by the activities group than the boys themâ€" selves. This policy follows the Cenâ€" ter‘s general plan of letting the young people, themselves, initiate worth while project now in existâ€" ence in Highland Park. Local Merchants Offer Many The board of directors and memâ€" bers of the various committees are uhanimously of the opinion that the Center is off to an excellent stert in proving that this organization has a definite and necessary place in the community picture. Those who are donating their time and energy to further the Center‘s program feel that the consciousness of this need will dontinue to grow until the time will come when the Communiâ€" ty Center will be as well known Thrift Shop Will and develop their own program.
