On the contrary, they try to interest the busiest men, with the feeling that these can do their work and yet find time to help their fellows. They never interfere with a student's creed; what they want in his life; and they have thus widened a door which might have shut out many...

In Lent most of us try a little more earnestly to improve ourselves, for example we try to break loose from some bad habit or to help others nearer to God.
