Easter, the Sunday of great rejoic-
ing, always comes when the moon is
young. There was learned council
In A. D. 325, which decided on reckon
ing the feast by the moon. The result
is that Easter calculations are most ex
traordinary, and once, In 1918, there
was a mistake made, and Easter was
kept on the wrong day. II was deter
mined by the fathers that Easter
should always fall on the first Sunday
after the 18th day of the moon that
happens to be shining at the time of
the vernal equinox, that Is when the
sun crosses the line In the spring. And
the date of the equinox was declared
as March 81. You can see what an
early Easter we should have If the
moon should be fourteen days old on
March 81, and If that day should be
Saturday; thus the feast may be as
early as March %, and as late as
Apri, 25. But It will not fall on the 22d
In this century. nor on the 23d until
the year 1913. When the right day for
Easter is finally found, 1t arranges q
long series of feasts from Ash Wednes-
day to Trinity Sunday. The name of
Easter reminds us of ancient celebra-
lions of the Saxons. when there was
universal rejoicings over the reawak-
ening of nature.
Long ago is was time of thanks
giving and joy, lasting eight days;
then ii was cut down to three days,
then two, and now we have only one.
What a GRAND ono IL ic 4houoybf Tho
seems merrier on this glad
day, and the joy in every heart in
creased.

Issues the following predictions for
May:
Reactionary storm conditions will
rnrevail during the last two DAYS OF
April and the fist of May. Bv the

eastern parts of the country, with
cooler, clearing weather and rising
barometer following from the west.
A regular storm period is central on
the 9th. This storm period begins at
Che new moon on the 4th
The storm period. 4th to 9th, will
be ushered in with decided and rapid
changes to warmer in all parts west
ward. The barometer will show
marked atmospheric denlessions in the
game regions. and "a these conditions
increase aud move eastward over the
country series of decided rain, hail,
wind and thunder storms will begin,
repeating themselves in manv localI-
ties for several successive days, lead
ing up to the 9Th or 9th.
Along with the rising barometer and
clearing weather, at the cessation
Of this storm period, frosts may be
hooked tor in many central to north
ern sections. say from about the 9th
to the 18th.
Centering on the 12th, 18th and 14th
dictionary storm conditions will re-
appear and make their regular, pro-
gressive transition from West to East
across the country. These disturb
.ances will eliminate in many thunder
and rain storms on and touching the
f4th, following which, the barometer
4 will rise, with change to mucn cooler
weather.
The next storm period will culmin-
ate an the 18th, 18th and 10th in fall
ing barometer, much higher tempera-
ture, and another cycle of daily rain,
. thaslder and wind storms. Earth
quake shivers proba BILE at this period.
Light disturba noes may continue
through the interval and brake out
into renewed energy on and touching
the Ped, 23d and Gath. This reaction
airy period is problematical, depend
ing on the nature and intensity of the
storms during the regular period inn
rnediately preceding it. If barometric
conditions remais below normal, with
high temperature and much humidity
conditions which any one may dis
cern-the chances are many for severe
!. and violent storms on these dates.
sFIrange to anti.storm conditions
cooler weather, bracing air and rails

the oath TO 27th.
The dosing storm period for May is
central on the Goth, extending from
the 27th to the 31st. The storm dia.
.gram shows that this period lies with
in the mercury distance, which is
GENITAL on June the Bird. The moon is
on celestial equator on the 2Sth, and
in apogee on the goth. These combined
facts point to general and possibly
severe disturbances, progressively
over the country from West TO East,
during the last five days of May.
Highly electrical storms at this sea-
son almost invariably result from the
passage of the moon over the celestial
equator, and atmospheric unrest aud
squalls are especially common and
severe when the moons apogee and
passage over the celestial equator
are coineident

THIRTY YEARS

Owing to absence erom home we
neglected to mention in our issue
OF september 2Sth that the CoMUM
BlAN had completed thirty years
under its present management. On
Otloher ist, 1875, the present
editor became a partner in the
paper, and though several changes
have taken place since then, he
remains now as the sole proprietor.
Much has transpired during that
thirty years. Bloomsbury has
grown and developed, and her pop
u.Itiou has been doubled. Print
ing offices have increased from three
to a dozen or more in the county.
Local daily newspapers and the
rural free delivery routes have
made it much harder to edit coun-
try weekly than It was in the days
before their advent. Nevertheless
the weekly still retains its distinc-
tive field. and Notwithstanding the
increase in the number of news
paper Offices. the COLUMBIAN has
kept up with the procession, and
still retains It's reputation as the
largest and best printing establish
ment i'll this section. THE COL
UMBrAN, SO long as it remains un-
der the present management, will
continue to be clean and reliable
family newspaper, democratic in
politics, advocating that which it
believes to be for the best interests
of the whole party, and never the
tool or organ Of any ring or faction,
and always advocating that which
1t believes to be for the good of the
community without regard to poll
tics.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

Charles l.. Pohe. and Jerry A.
Hess were regularly nominated for
the Office of county commissioner
by the Democratic county conven-
ton last June. Under the rules of
the party they were declared the
nominees, and as such they ought
to have the support of every Demo-
crat. Mr.. Pohe received the high
est vote of any candidate at the pr
maries, and there can be no possible
question as to the rule in his case.
Mr.. Hess received the highest vote
on this side of the liver, and follow
ing the decision of Judge Dunham
in the Fisher case three years ago,
he was declared the nominee. All
the other candidates took their
chances, and announced themselves
as candidates SUBJECT to the. rules Of
tie democratic party. Having done
this, il is not square deal to enter
the field as an independent candi.
date, and it would not be fair nor
right to defeat a man regularly
nominated just because the rule
under which he was nominated may
not be entirely satisfactory. If the
rule is not right, let it be changed,
but until it is changed let us stand
by it. That is the only way to
maintain our party organization and
supremacy. Any other action at
this time might put two republic
cans into the commissioners Office.
Vote for Pohe and Hess.

st Gabriel's.

St. Gabriel's Church, Giles
Creek, has undergone some repairs
recently. Bishop Darlington offer
ed fifty dollars towards painting
the church if the congregation
would put new shingles on the roof.
These improvements have been
made, and the building is in better
condition than in many years. 1t
is hoped that funds can be raised to
repair the rectory, and that the
services of a regular pastor may
soon be secured. For about twenty
years the Rev. JOHN Rockwell was
the rector, and resided there per
manently. Before his time, the
church was served at intervals by
the Rev, J. McA. Harding of La
porte. Since Mr.. Rockwell death
there was no regular pastor until
Christ Church at Berwick was or
ganized, when it was placed in
charge of the resident missionary
there, who also served St. Johns
church at Catawissa. There is
vacancy at Berwick at present, so
St. Gabriel's is without regular
pastoral care.
At times the rectors of St. Pauls
church, Bloomsbury, have held
services there. When the old
church was destroyed twenty-five
years ago or more, it was rebuilt
largely through the efforts Of Col.
]. G. Freeze and Rev. John Hewitt.
The parish is one of the oldest in
the diocese, and for many years it
has been kept alive by the interest
taken in it by the late John Swart.
