EASTER. 10 the early agee OF the
church there was considerable disputa.
tion as to the time of celebrating
Easter. which is movable feast. The
Western and Eastern churches we're
divided on the subject. and considera.
bio embarrassment was constantly
arising as @ consequence. It was
finally seitled that Easter day should
be celebrated on the irst Sunday after
tho full moon which happens upon or
next after the 2lst of March. AS this
year there il full moon on the 2lst
OF March. ana that day will be Sun
day, the Easter festival will be cele-
bratea on the next ensuing Sunday,
the 29.h Of March. Thus Ash
Wednesday, fell upon the 10th of
February, and Easter this year occurs
within six days Of the earliest period
upon which the fcstival can be cele.

the 25th OF April. In 1761 and 1918
Easter fell on the 22d of Maroh, bat
this cannot happen again until the
next century. when, in 1918, it will
fall on the 23d OF March. In 1886
Easter will occur on the 25th OF April,
and the latest date for the naxt cen.
tury will be in 1913. on the 25th OF
April. Thus it may be seen that the
extreme limits are seldom reached. q
fact which shows the extraordinary ex.
actitude with which the data used in
fixing the time for its celebration were
