THIS YEAR
WILL COME EARLY
Fourth In Many Years That Lent
viii Begin As Early AS Feb
ruary IL.

For only the fourth time since 1888,
1876 years ago, Lent will begin this
winter as early as February II. East
err vii fall on March %. This forty
day season prescribed by the church
as one of fasting and prayer never
has begun and earlier, except in one
year, 1918, Easter that year fell on
March Il.
Owing TO the early arrival OF
Lent. the season" win be one of the
shortest on record. Easter frequent
ly has fallen in the past as late as
April Is or April z, and probably will
hit in around some of these dates
between 1914 and 2013.
In the latter year, according, to the
church almanac, the date again will
be March %. So those who suffer
by a falling off OF business this win.
ter in consequence of the early date
need not look for a repetition of the
situation during their lifetime, for II
will not happen again. for an 100
years. In the past Easter has come
as early as March 90 in 17ss, 1S45 and
1856.
The moon is responsible, and. ac'
cording to officials at the federal nau
teal almanac Office, this responsible
ity for such changes in dates is not
borne by Luna, as observing people
see her in the skies, but by another
moon, called by these officials "the
ideal moon" and "the ecclesiastical
moon"
Easter one of these officials
said recently, and with IL, OF course
the beginning of Lent, is a movable
feast, and is fixed by the Ideal moon
adopted by the churches hundreds OF
years ago, when they We're attempt
ing to settle upon a fixed date for
Easter. There Is very little differ
ence between the true 0 and the
ideal moon In their phases. Some
time by lunations, which are the
teal moon may just miss the true
moon. 1t is a complicated astronom
zeal subject, but it is safe to say that
Easter comes on the first Sunday
after the first full moon after March
81"
In the early church, Easter was
identical in date with the Passover
as in fact, the two festivals are iden
teal in their root. After the Nicaear
council OF A. d. 325, Christmas adop
ted the Jewish method OF reckoning
time eby Iunations, which are tn
movements of the noon. These luna
tions do not tally with the facts Of
astronomy. The result is that East
err calculations are so extraordinarily
difficult as to lead to occasional mis-
takes, such as that of 1918, wher
Easter was observed on the wrong
day.
