CAN YOU DETERMINE
WHEN EASTER COMES?

Do you know how to determine
upon what day Easter will fall next
year. It's a safe bet you will admit
that you do not. If you will not
admit it you can probably be con-
WINGED very quickly that you do not
know. And even If you could figure
it out for the next year, could you
now tell the date of Easter 1913?
Many believe that Easter falls on
the first Sunday after the first new
moon after the vernal equinox and
they can ascertain the date by mere
ly turning to the patent medicine
almanac and finding out the date OF
the new moon. This is deceptive,
for the new moon that regulates Eas-
ter is really no new moon at all,
except in name. 1t is an altogether
imaginary and arbitrary moon that
was fixed by the ecclesiastical au-
thorities a thousand years ago or
more when the discussion over the
proper date Of Easter was intense
and bitter. The periods of this i'm
aginary moon are SO contrived that
the new Imaginary moon always
follows the real new moon, some
times by two or even three days. One
Of the reasons that induced the &C.
clesiastical authorities to establish
an arbitrary moon to regulate Easter
was to prevent Easter from falling
ON the date of the Jewish Feast Of
the Passover, which is also regulated
by the new moon, but by the real
moon. But occasionally the Chris
tian and the Jewish anniversaries
fall upon the same calendar day.
This occurred in 1908, and will oc-
cur again in 1928 and 1927.
