a., EAsrER.Ilt is almost unnecessary to inform
tne eenefai readers that yesterday was the recur
renee OF Easter, season which commemorate
tne resurrection of the Saviour. 1t was called bv
Ihe ureeks Pasga, and by the Latins Pachn. a
heDi is WORD signifying passage, applied to the
jewish feast Of the Passover 1t is called Easter
In Englsh from the Saxan Goddess Eastre whose
festival was held In April. The Asiatic churches
Kept their Easter upon the very same day that the
Jews observe their passover, and Others on the
first Sunday after the first full moon in the new
year This controversy was determined in the
Council Of Nice. when 1t was ordained that
Easter should be kept on one and the same dav
which should always be on Sunday, in all Chris,
nan churches in the world. IL full moon should
happen on Sunday, Easter day Is the next Sunday
Throughout centuries, the occasion has been
glad holiday, not unmingled, however, with
sacred soiemnity, called forth by the great
thought Of Christ's resurrection. 1t was in the
early church, the queen festival, the one which
awakened the loftiest reverence, and dearest emo
nons OF the primitive christian. With joy, fer
vent and boundless, the devotee sal1ted his
Drothei In the faith with the exclaim: ssChrist is
Risen" on these early Easter moons, and still does
