When Pope Gregory undertook to re-
form the Julian calendar. that had by
that time become incorrect by about ten
days the revolution of the earth around
the sun was not yet fully understood. 30
instead OF making a change that would
be thoroughly scientific. the present form
OF year was adopted. the Julian calendar
being modified by calling October 5, 15s2,
October 10. and by making all terminal
years OF centuries. 100. 1900. leC0,s etc,

the year was a multiple Of 100, as 1000,

Rejected IN England at First.
In those days they were so accustomed
to movable feasts that 1t never occurred
to the reformers of the calendar that a
day might come when their moyability
should be inconvenient. They knew so
little about the relations between the sun
and the earth that they did not want to
renounce the lunar year entirely and so
upset the order of feast days that had
from time immemorial been based upon
the movements of the moon.
Though the Gregorian calendar was is
sued in 1859. prejudice against anything
that came from Rome was SO strong in
England that IL was not adopted there
until by an act of Parliament, passed In

September II and New Years Day was
set back from March . to January ].
beginning with 1755.
To fix one definite date for Easter
would require a decree from the Pope.
The whole Roman Catholic world and all
Roman Catholics elsewhere at once would
adopt II. and there Is little doubt the
Protestant churches would follow. As
Il is a purely religious feast, this is all
that would be necessary.
In Russia and Greece the Julian calen-
lar is still in use. SO their dates are nov

II Is something OF an anomaly from
the religious point Of view that the an
niversary Of Chrisfs death may fan on
any one Of thirty-five dates, while the
anniversary of His birth always ID on
the same. 1t is no less Of an anomaly
from the astronomical standpoint. for
there seems no reason why we. having
adopted the solnr year as the basis Of
our calendar. should cling to the lunar
year merely for the establishment Of one
date.
II Is a mystery why, when the date
Of Christ's birth was fixed as December
Is. some dates In April were not at the
same time settled upon as those OF His
death and resurrection. That would have
been logical and would have banished
from the calendar lunar cycle that long
has been abandoned by all civilized
people.
II should not be difficult to fix the
rational date for Easter. II Christ was
cruciied on the fourteenth day Of the
March moon astronomers ought TO be
able to calculate on what date this fell.
They Say that in all probability II fell
on April Of the year % OF the Christian
era. Why. then. not fix Easter once and
