EAsTER.-To the Christian there
can hardly be a more pleasing com
memoration than that Of the Resur
rection There is hardly doctrine
that takes deeper hold on men
hearts than this hope Of the reviva
of the dead. Aud all this depends
upon the facts of Easter 1t seem
strange than any should fail to keel
the feast" In reality, all Christian
do observe day in reference to tina
event. Many persons forget the fac
that all Sundays in the year take thei
observance from Easter. The Jewisl
Sabbath was Saturday. The Chris
tian Sabbath is the first dag of til
queek, on which our Lord arose from
the dead. And the Church, from
early times, following Apostolic prac
tice, observed this day as her rest
Hence it was called the Lord
Day"
The benefits from observing thes
great events in the life of Christ ar
being felt more and more. They EN-
phasiso doctrines. They beauti!
truth. They give reality and life t.
the faith.
Nature herself seems to respond t.
Faster 1t comes In the season 0
f0loers. The time of natures neV
life after the death and decay 0
winter.
1t has been noticed that Easter ha
not fallen on the 18th Of March be
fore for one hundred years. Man.
chronoligists conclude that the orig
inal Resurrection occurred on thl
day Of the month.
Easter Is called " Movable Feast
because it does not always fall on tn
same day of the month. The reason
is simple. Easter took place at TIA
Passover. That festival was at tn
time OF the full moon, near the 2ls
Of March. As Easter is the rea
Christian Passover, the commemora
ton must follow the old ordel
Hence it is always the first Sunda
after the full moon, on or next atte
the 21st day of March.
