Some excellent church people have beer
surprised to And that Easter, which the,
thought was to fall on April 0, will be
week later instead. The Churchman ex
plains that the cycle of the golden mum
bers is lunar, not solar, and while by sofa
calculation day always begins at mid
night, by lunar calculation it begins a
noon. If, therefore, the paschal full moo
falls on Saturday after 10 IN, it is count
ed as falling on Sunday, and then Easte
day is the Sunday following. This is whs
happens In the present year. The pasch'
full moon falls on Saturday, April 8, {
2:43 p. m. 1t is, therefore, counted 6
falling on Sunday. April 0, and Easter ds
10 the Sunday following, i. c., April 16.
may be added that should the full moo
fall on March 81, before 10 m, that flu
moon Counted as falling on March q
would not regulate Easter day, but the on
following. This happened in 1910.
