ASH WEDNESDAY,
FIRST DAY LENT
Archbishop Harty to Preach
at St." Mary Magdalsne
Church; Vesper Services
Throughout City.
"Today is Ash Wednesday, the
first day of Lent.
It will be observed in all Omaha
Catholic churches and in some of
the Protestant churches with special
services.
Archbishop Harty will preach at
I lie Lenten service in St. Mary Mag
dalene church, Nineteenth and
Dodge streets, beginning at 12:10
p. m. A noon service will be held
in this church every week day dur
ing Lent.
Catholic churches throughout the
city will hold vesper services. All
through Lent these vespers will be
held every Sunday. Wednesday and
Friday evening in Catholic churches.
Services in Catholic churches to
day will be marked by the cere
mony of "strewing ashes on the
heads of the penitents." The ashes
are made by burning the palms con
secrated on Palm Sunday of last
year.
Actual strewing of real ashes on
the head is no longer practiced as
it was in the early days when this
was the universally recognized sign
of sorrow for sin. The priest today
dips his finger in a bowl of ashes
and makes the sign of the cross on
the forehead of the penitent.
' Protestant churches observe Ash
Wednesday with less of ceremony
In many churches, particularly Epis
copalian and Lutheran, it will be ob
served with special services tomor
row. Special Lenten service will
be held in Kountze Memorial Luth
eran church every Wednesday eve
ning, beginning Ash Wednesday
evening.
Today will start "fasts" of
various kinds among those who seek
to observe devoutly the Lenten sea
son. In strict observance of Lent,
every day is a "fast day" except Sun
days. Thes'e are not counted in the
40 days of fasting comprised be
tween Ash Wednesday and Easier
Sunday.
Many people refrain from attend
ing the theaters during this season.
Others give up candy or other luxur
ies and still others have other means
of self-denial to bring them to a full
realization of the penitential season.

Through tempest, go!

O'er misty waves,

Than all the gladness
Of life to sustain.

Love demonstrates itself in kisses
and caresses; wrong again, yiiere
the greatest show is made we often
find the least love. Kisses and ca
resses are only the emotions of the
inner self, more or less se'.tish. How
often do we squeeze and smother a
poor little helpless babe with kisses
for our own gratification, and the
child's discomfort, often detrimen
tal. We hear neople profess to
love one another, bui wait until
they are called upon .o make some
great sacrifice, without one grain
of honor or praise, even lowering
themselves in the sight of man.
Here is the test of real love. Many
things are branded cowardice in this
world which take more love and
courage than facing the fiercest
battle, -
Love suffereth longand is kind;
love envieth not; love vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up. doth not be
have itself unseemly, seeketh not
her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil, rejoices no in in
iquity, but rejoices in the truth.
Love beareth all things; love never
faileth;' love that hides self to exalt
another forgets its own comforts i
for the comfort of another; in fact,
dies daily to the things of self to
win our enemies. This is love in
all its fullness. Sot.
No. 257.
Love is a disease that most peo
ple catch during their lifetime. It
overpowers the lovers and all they
think of is love. It gives some peo
ple sorrow and others happiness. It
makes some jealous and jealousy
soon grows into hatred. Then be
ing overpowered bj .hatred they try
to do harm to the ones who turned
down their love for that of another.
That is my idea of love.
No. 254.
Love is the depth of the soul; it
is pure, unselfish, sacrificing, kind,
gentle, patient, obedient and perse
vering. Love is that which neither
one of our five senses can reach; yet
we know it is present.
Love is the gift of God; where

Love is the greatest thing in the
world, here I am lost, who can give
me a definition to this word When
the school boy was asked to give a
definition of light, he answered
"Light is light." When you ask me
to define the word love, I give you
the boy's definition, "Love is love."
Ask not qf me love, what is love.
Ask what is giftnl of God above,
Ask not the great sun, what is light,
Ask what is darrkness of the night.
Ask not sin what may be forgiven,
Ask what is happiness of heaven,
Ask not what is folly of the crowd.
Ask what is fashion of the shroud,
Ask not what is sweetness of
kiss,
Ask thyself what beauty is.
The best definition ever given to
this word was given by the humble
fisherman along the banks of Gal
lilee, who said God is love.
In peace love tunes the shepherd's
reed,
In war he mounts the warrior's
steed;
In hall of gray attire i,s seen
In hamlet dancing on the green.
Love rules the court, the camp, the
1 grove.
And men below and saints above,
For love is' heaven and heaven is
. love.
No. 305.
Love is nothing but an abcess to
a man's pocketbook.
No. 296.
Love, which occurs in everyone's
life, is the most heavenly feeling of i
one individual toward another.

Love is so magnificent that it
magnifies everything else around it
Love is the fountain from which
mercy springs.
It steals down into the recesses
of animal life, pulls the helpless up
out of the mire and appeals to tne
lofty to have mercy.
It stretches its broad protecting
wings over land and sea, crying out
to the mighty with the shrillness
of the eagle, to have mercy.
It wends its way down the alleys
and through the slums of the metrop
olis seeking oarentless and neglect
ed waifs, murmuring in its flight
around the gables of mansions o
have mercy.
It goes along the streets, and
thoroughfares comforting the blind
and crippled beggars by whispering
in through the open door of shop
and tavern, to have mercy.
It enters jails, prisons and asyl
urns, imploring the attendants to
have mercy.
It creeps into judicial chambers
of the land when criminals are be
fore the bar of justice, appealing to
judge and jury to have mercy. N
It will sacrifice everything on
the battlefield to comfort the wound
ed and administer to the dying, pray
ing to God to have mercy.

WE respectfully and urgently, appeal to all of the
patriotic men and, women, who have in former
campaigns been so successful in putting Nebraska
"over the .top," to answer the call of their chairman
to help in, organizing the state for the coming sale of
about Sixty Million Dollars in Treasury Notes.
The campaign will be an energetic and vigorous one
of short duration and will commence officially on Mon
day, April 21.
The Secretary of the Treasury announces that this will
be the last and. final offering of government securities to
thepublic. '
It wculd te misfeec7frg to ilirk fret tie petiictic
citizens of Nebraska cannot or will not take their state's
quota.
Loan
Workers of Omaha.
Counties in the State
The success of the campaign in Nebraska depends, as
all other campaigns have depended, upon complete and
perfect organization.
Nebraska has taken in four former campaigns $180,000,000.00 in Lib
erty Bonds, but this has been an investment, not a gift.
Nebraska has gained indefinitely more in a selfish and commercial
sense by the war than it has invested or given to our country.
If our state fails to do its part in taking its quota of this last offering
of government securities, what will our answer be to those 47,000 Nebras
ka men who gave up their occupations, their investments and their in
' comes, in fact, their homes, to offer their lives in defense of our country,
when they are now returning after having left hundreds of their compan
ions dead in France, and while thousands who are now reluming have
been wounded, crippled, blinded, paralyzed and some of whom are hope
less invalids?
It is up to the Liberty Loan Workers, who know the game, to join
hands as they have in former campaigns and pay the final bill just as our
boys have made'the great sacrifice.'
Liberty Loan workers of Nebraska, men and women, do not fail to
answer the call of your chairmen a'nd of your organizing committees in
this final chapter of the greatest financial undertaking of all time.
Nebraska, Liberty Loam
