Statistics prove that only from - TO

other physician says:

The Easter Date.

The observance Of Easter dates back

was much contention among the Eastern
and Western churches as 10 what day
the festival should be observed. IL was
finally ordained at the Council OF Nice,
In the year CD. that IL must be obsery-
ell throughout the Christian world on
the same day. This decision settled that
Easter should he kept upon the Sunday
FIRST after the fourteenth day Of the hrss
Jewish month. but no general conclu-
sion was arrived AZ as % the cycle By
which the festival was TO be regulated,
and some churches adopted one rule and
some another. This diversity OF usage
was put IN end 20. and the Roman rule
making Easter the first Sunday after the
fourteenth day Of the calendar mooa was
established in England Ia coo. After
nine centuries a discrepancy In the keep

settled in 1862 by the adoption Of tho
rule which makes Easter day always the
