been settled to the entire satisfaction
Of some learned lights but this Is not
all. Now some one has discovered that
there Is a dispute as 10 which Sunday

Easter on the first Sunday after the
first full moon after the 2lst Of March.
II the full moon falls on a Sunday.
then the following Sunday is Easter.
Now this year 1t happens that the first
full moon after the vernal equinox Is
on Sunday April Is, at minutes past
! O'Clock In the morning. Easter sun
day, therefore, ought to fan on the 22nd
OF April.

instance there viii be as much differ

age? To eat is dangerous; to drink Is as
