the Passover was celebrated, the death
of Christ, to them the paschal lamb,
Christ having died, according to their
chronology, on the date of the celebra-
tion of the Jewish Passover. The
celebration of the Jewish Christians
was therefore for the death and not
the resurrection of Christ. The gen
tile Christians, however were not
bound by any of the Jewish traditions
Sunday Icing the Lords day to them,
they therefore celebrated the resurrec.
ton of Christ on the Sunday following
the l4th day of the moon of March,
The day on which Christ died. The
Jewish Christians thus celebrated the
18th day OF the month, irrespective of
the day of the week, and the gentle
Christians CT celebrated a Sunday, ire
spective of the day of the month. If
this confusion had not been resolved
by the proper ecclesiastical authorities
we might have been celebrating the
day at the present time according to
our individual religious predictions.
This early church was torn with bitter
dissensions regarding this conflict of
custom to the celebration of Easter.
Various attempts were made to fix a
stable day which would be observed
by the chuIch as whole, but they all
failed. Finally, at the council of
Nice, A. d. 325, the question was
settled once for all, and the date now
observed Observation-Disclosures world
was established, Easter day was then
fixed as the first Sunday after that full
moon which happens on or next after
March 2l. If the full moon happens
on Sunday the following Sunday is
Easter. In France the year began with
Easter Sunday until the year 1854, the
date of Shakespeare's birth. When
Charles TX. fixed January as the first
day of the year.

The address of Rev W. H. Wagon

good one and the Sunday meeting was
oneof the best held for some time.
Rev. yVaggoner had for subject
Seven Young Men" He spoke of the
young man who would risk his life and
prospects for the sake of conscience
and character, saying that in the end
he would win out and be triumphant,
that it always pays to do right even
though it temporarily brings trouble.
He drew his illustrations from the
lives of the seven young men of the
Bible and pictured his thoughts in a
realistic manner. The address was
one greatly enjoyed by all present.

The contest grew out of the fact that
