A Movable Feast.

Easter Is one of the movable feasts. The prayer book gives the following rule: Easter day Is always the first Sunday after the full moon which happens upon or next after the 2lst day of March, and if the full moon happens upon Sunday Easter day is the Sunday after" Conse- quently March 22 Is the earliest date upon which Easter can fall and April 25 the lat est, this year the date being April 5. This rule was adopted at the council of Nice, A. D. 325, as the observance of the day had always been upon tho same day as the Jewish Passover, which fell upon any week day, whereas the fathers of the church held that as Sunday was the day of the resurrection the festival should be held upon a Sunday.
