Lent. The Right Rev. Bishop Lynch has issitcd '? "the following regulations: regulations for lent in the diocese of charleston. . Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent falls on ihe Gth of March. 1. All the faithful, who have completed their twenty first year, are, unless legitimately dis pensed, bound to observe the Fast of Lent. 2. They are to make only ono meal a day" ? excepting Sundays. 3. The meal taken on fast days is not to be taken until about noon. 4. At that meal, if on any day permission should bo granted for eating flesh, both flesh and fish arc not to be used at the same time. . even by way of seasoning. T). A small refreshment, commonly called * collation,, is allowed in the evening; no gener , al rule as to the quantity of food permitted at Jl.is time is or can bo made. But the pract ice of the most regular Christian is never to let it exceed the fourth part of an ordinary meal. G. The quality of food allowed at a collation is, in this diocese, bread, butter, cheese, all " kinds of fruits, salads, vegetables and fish. M ilk and eggs nrc prohiibted. 7. General usage has made it lawful to drink in the morning some warm liquid, as tea, coffee, or thin chocolate, made with water. 8. Necessity and custom have authorized the use of hog's lard instead of butter in preparing fish, vegetables, &o. 9. The following persons arc exempted from the obligations of fasting: Young persons under twenty ono years of age, the sick, nursing wo men, those who arc obliged to do hard labor, all who through weakness cannot fast without great prejudice to their health. 10. By dispensation the use of flesh meat ?will be allowed at any time on Sundays, and ?once a day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with the exception of Holy Thursday, and the second and last Saturdays of Lent. 11. Persona dispensed from the obligation of fasting, on account of tender or advanced age, or hard labor, are not bound by the restriction of using meat only at one meal on days on which its use is granted by dispensation. Others dis pensed from the fast for other causes, as well as those who are obliged to fast, are permitted to Use meat only tit one meal. Fool steps. I was out alone, one time, amongst the mountains; and the evening was drawing near, and the clouds were darkening. By and by the storm came on; and me wind, becoming more angry every moment, blew the pelting hail into my face as if indignant tit my at tempts to disregard its voice. 1 could hardly see my way, and the path led mo only to higher and exposed situations, where the storm was more binding than before. And after 1 had been groping for some time, and calling for help, the clouds grew for a few minutes less dark. and. looking down. I fancied I saw footsteps. Small foot-prints they were, which led aside from the beaten track ; and it occurred to me to follow them, in the hope that they might lead to sorio shepherd's hut. .or secure shelter. So making them out as well JIM T could, I left the path, and following them along the soft ground, I found myself led fin ally to a rock which stood linn and strong on the. hill-side. Ami thero, lust asleep in a largo and sheltered cave in tho rock, unmoved by tho wind, unhurt by tho tempest, and securely waiting for tho calm after the storm, lay a young boy, his arms lovingly entwined round one of tho lambs of his father's flock. I did not awakon him from his sleep, but I entered also into tho cleft, und in a mumont i found tranquillity and ealm. Aud then I ! watched tho fierce storm as it raged up the mountain side, and saw the clouds gathering liko tho black banners of an invading army, and heard tho trumpet blast of tho wind sound ing defiance through tho valleys, as the ruiu and tho hail beat down with angry fury upon all tho country round; until, after a long time, tho winds seemed weary of their strife, aud the clouds dispersed in largo black masses, as if only waiting for a summons to rally again for a summons to rally again for war; and clear sunset rays found their way to comfort the tear-strained earth; nnd I left the shelter of the rock on the hill-side to pursue my home ward path, and reached tho end of my way safely oro tho night finally sot in. I have !ten thought of that cleft in the roek since. 1 will tell you, dear children who rcad'this little book,when I have been most re- J minded of it. "Ah, sir," said a weeping mother oucc, as her child lay dangerously ill up.stairs, "it would indeed be a sore and bitter grief if she were taken. Why, sir, my. Mary showed me I the way to heaven. She it was. who would come from school with a text or a hymn on her i lips, and wdio would speak of liiui, who is will ing to save to the uttermost?thhosc were her words, sir?to the uttermost, all who conic to , Him. I remember, sir, one day when every thing seemed wrong, when father was down with the fever, and I had'nt got no work, and the cupboard was empty, and I fairly gave up, and sat down behind the door, and threw my apron up over my face and cried just like a baby; and then I heard our Mary outside in the little bit of garden, just singing? "There is rest for the weary, Hest for the weary, And rest for you.*' And then in she comes, nnd she says, 'Mother,' she says, 'that's all true.' And she looks up right in my face, and there was smiles and tears both together on hers, and she says, 'Mother. He calls out, {,Cotno unto me all ye that arc wenry and heavy laden, and I will give you rest ;'"and then she comes to'my arms, nnd talks of Him, and I never felt anything like it before, sir; but somehow I couldn't help be lieving about it all then, and things have always been better since, and trouble lighter-" Then I thought of the child whose footsteps had lederne to the shelter in the roek; and I knew why little Mary looked at the storm and feared nothing. I was in a barracksdowu once, and it was Sunday evening. There was drunkenness in the streets, and profanity and swearing. A lad in the uniform of his regiment made his way quietly along the road towards the church. His companions mocked and laughed at him. "Not. had enough preaching in regulation hours!" they said; "lie's turning saint: by and-by he'll turn parson." -The boy?for he was but a boy?did not notice their taunts, but I heard him say to one or two young compan ions who stood near, "'Come in along with me. it's better than being outside. Tt'll do you good, as it does me." Two refused; but one, after some hesitation, went in with him. And I thought of the footsteps which had led me to the cleft in the roek, and I knew why the young soldier of Christ feared neither ridicule nor reproach ; for he was safe in a pavilion of refuge from the strife of tongues. 1 met a little girl many years ago whom I only noticed as being of a inoro timid and re tiring disposition than any of her companion! . One day I unexpectedly discovered her with two or tbree younger children around her. She was talking to them in soft aud reverent tones, and her .story was of One who has said, "Suffer the little children to conic unto me." I heard the young teacher say, "Wouldn't you like tu 'conic to Jesus, too ? Shall I tell you how to find Him ?" And as 1 turned away, fearful of disturbing that, little company, I thought of the footsteps which bad led me to the shelter in the cleft of the rock. Dear children, who read these pages, yours may be very little foot-prints, but they are not too small to be showing the path to the Hock in a weary land?even to tho Lord Jesus Christ. Have you ever read that text, UA man shall In as an'hidini}~jihu:e j\'?m the iciial, ami a rover! from fin- tempest;.as the shadow of a f/rcat rod.- in a weary /ami ?" That describes what Jesus Christ is to every one who finds Him. Storms of trial may blow, but when wc are safe in the love of .Jesus, lie covers us under the shadow of His wings, and calls Himself "a place of refuge, a covert from storm and from rain." Doubts and temptations may com?, but if you have laid your sins on Jesu**, you iu*iy say? "Hock of Ages, cleft for me, 1 can liidu my sell in thee!" and you will understand what those verses moan which call Him "a refuge from the storm." "a tabernacle whercuuto we may always resort." There may be angry storms of quarrelling and strife around you, but the child who loves Jesus is hidden privily in His tabernacle, in the pavilion of His presence from the strife of tongues. I lovo to trace the font-prints of children who have given their hearts to Jesus,and when they have grown up tobe men und women they will find Him a better Kriendevery day. And if they should he early taken to the home above, they will sleep like the boy in the rock, quite fearless of the storm ami tempest, because His love and the sheltor of Ilia croiw shall coinpaw them on every pitle, CHARLESTON CARDS.
