FIXING A DAY FOR EASTER
Old Controversies Over the OBJ
servance of the Festival.
The Paschnl Dispute and the Edict
of Victor. 'sishop of Rome - The
Canon of the EcumenicaI Council
of Nice in the Fourth Century.

Next to Christmas, Easter is the great
est festival of the Christian world. In
primitive times it was usual for Christians
10 salute each other on the morning OF
this day by exclaiming, Christ is risen,'
60 which the person samted replied: He
is risen. indeed" or else, And hath APP
peared unto Simon'-a custom still re-
tanned in the Greek Church.
The common Game of this festival in
the East was the Paschal Feast, because
kent at the same time as the Pascha, or
Jewish Passover and in some measure
succeeding TO il. In the sixth of the
Ancyran Canons 1t is called the Great
Dav." The term Easter is derived, as
some suppose, from "Eostre,' the name
Of a Saxon deity, whose feast was cele-
br,,ted every year in the spring, the
name being retained when the character
OF the feast was changed; or, as others
suppose, from "Oster," which signifies
rising. II the latter theory be correct,
Faster is in name, as well as reality, the
feast Of the resurrection
Although there has never been any all
ference Of opinion in the Christian
Church as to why Easter is kept, there
has been a good deal as 10 when II ought
to be kept. 1t is one of the movable
feasts, that is, IL Is not nAeu 10 one par
ticular day-like Christmas Day, for in
stance which always falls on the 18th Of
December-but moves backwards or for
wards according as the full moon next
after the vernal equinox falls nearer or
further from the equinox. The accepted
rule for ascertaining the day upon which
Easter falls is as follows: Easter Day
is always the first Sunday after the full
moon which happens upon or next after
the 21st day of March; and if the fun
moon happens upon Sunday, Easter Day
Is the Sunday after.
The Paschal controversy, which for n
time divided Christendom, grew out of
diversity Of custom. The churches of
Asia Minor, Including many JudaiZing
Christians, kept their Paschal feast on
the same day that the Jews kept their
Passover. the 18th of Nissan. the Jewish
month corresponding TO our March or
April. But the churches OF the West re-
Numbering that the Lords resurrection
took place a Sunday, kept their fes-
tival on the Sunday following the 18th of
Nissan. BY so doing they hoped not only
10 commemorate the resurrection on the
day Of the week on which II actually oc-
CURED, but also TO distinguish themselves
more effectually from the Jews. For a
time this difference was borne with mu-
tual forbearance and charity. And when
disputes began to arise, Polycarp. the
venerable Bishop of Smyrna, when on a
visit to Rome. took the opportunity of
city, upon the question. Polycarp pleaded
the practice of St. Philip and ST. John
while Anicetas adduced the practice OF
St Peter and ST. Paul Concession came
from neither side. and so the matter
dropped: but the two Bishops continued

The census bureau last week pub
lished the mortality statistics for the
year 1900. The most important feat
ure of the results presented is found
in the decrease in the general death
in the registration area of is per
1000 population, decrease of nearly
10 per cent. and the decrease in the
rates from the particular diseases to
which the general decrease is due.
The effect of the advances made in
medical science and sanitation and in
the preventive and restrictive meas
ures enforced by the health authori-
ties, is still more strikingly shown in
the comparative rate for the registra-
ton cities of the country taken
together. In 1890 the death rate in
271 registration cities of 5000 or more
population was 81 per 1000; in 1900
the rate was 1876 per 1000, in 341
cities of 5000 population and upward,
reduction of "a per 1000. The
average age at death in 1890 was 31.1
years; in 1900 it was So 2 years.
