Their Easter Offering

years, and SO. as it were, to run a
cycle. He published his discovery at
the Olympic games, b. c, 433, and the
cycle has ever since borne his name.
But though the new moon really
happened on the same day of the year
after a space of 10 years as 1t did
before, it fell an hour earlier on that
day, which. in the course OF time. az
will be seen, created a serious error
that had to be reckoned with and
caused much confusion.
a cycle was then framed at Rome
for ST years, and generally received
by the western church, for it was then
thought that in this space of time the
moons changes would return, not only
TO the same day Of the month, but OF
the week as well.
During the time that Easter was
kept according to this cycle Britain
a separated from the Roman en-
pire. and the British churches for a
time after the separation continued TO
keep Easter according to this table OF
S4 years. British and Irish churches
adopted the A~lexandrian rule, accord.
ing to which the Easter festival could
o begin before March s. About 100
years later the English churches con-.
formed to the Roman rule. The Roman
system 10Y prevails the world over,

Candy Returns.

Rapid City.-Receiver Candy OF the
United States land office at this place
has Just returned from Washington,
where he has been in consultation
with the officers of the interior de-
partment with reference to certain
notifications in existing land laws.
Mr.. Candy says that most of the
heads of the various divisions OF the
interior department are western men
and are alive to the situation and real
lie that certain notifications are nee
essary in existing land laws, owing to
"A succession of u~nfayorable seasons
which has made il impossible for the
settlers 30 comply with certain pro-
visions.
Mr.. Candy was called to Washing
ton to explain the situation as it exists
in western South Dakota, and espe-
cially TO explain to the department
the seeming injustice done those who
have been unable to comply with all
the requirements of the law pertain
ing to desert entries during the recent
series of dry years.
The proposed 640-acre pasture land
homestead bill, which applies to lands
suitable for grazing purposes only,
was also thoroughly discussed in the
conference in its application to west

At the commencement of the fourth
century matters had gone to such a
length that the Emperor Constantine
thought it his duty to take steps to
stop the controversy, and to insure
uniformity Of practice. For this pur-
pose he had a canon passed in the
great ~ecumenical council at Nice, A. d.
1926, That everywhere the great feast
of Easter should be observed upon one
and the same day. and that not the
day Of the Jewish Passover, but, as
had been generally observed. upon the
Sunday following
And, to prevent AL further disputes
as to time, the following rules we're
laid down: That March q shall be
accounted the vernal equinox. That
the full moon happening upon or next
after the DIST Of March shall be taken
for the full moon of Nissan. That the
Lords day next following that full
moor be Easter day. But if the full
moon happen upon a Sunday, Easter
day shall be the Sunday after.
To thO LSy BNiduo at lhdl tuIt "a
celled in astronomy. the bishop Of
Alexandria was appointed to give no.
tice of Easter day to the pope and
patriarchs. But it soon became evil
dent that this arrangement could not
endure. 1t was too ~inconvenient and
liable to Interruptions. The fathers
of the next age began, therefore, to
adopt the golden numbers of the Me-
tonic cycle. and to place them in the
calendar against those days in each
month on which the new moons should
fall during that year of the cycle. The
Metonic cycle was a period Of 10 years.

he morning of this day by eXclaim-
ing: Christ is risen to which the
saluted person replied: He is risen,
indeed" or And hath appeared unto
Simon'-a custom retained in the
Greek church.
The common name of this festival
n the East was the paschal feast, be-
cause kept at the same time as the
Jewish passover, and in some meas-
are succeeding to it. In the sixth Of
The Ancyran canons it is called the
Great day"
The term Easter is derived from
'Eastre," a Saxon diety, whose feast
vas celebrated every year in the
spring, the name being retained when
the character Of the feast vas changed.
Easter is in name, as well as in real
lty, the feast Of the resurrection
Although there has never been any
difference of opinion in the Chris
tan church as to why Easter is kept,
there has beer a good deal as TO when
1t ought to be kept. 1t is one of the
movable feasts-that is, it is not fixed
to II particular day, like Christmas
day. Easter moves backward and for
ward, according as the full moon next
after the vernal equinox falls nearer
or farther from the equinox. The ac-
cepted rule for ascertaining the day
upon which Easter falls is as follows:
Easter day is always the first Sunday
after the full moon which happens
upon or nex after the Dist day Of
March, and if the full moon happens
upon a Sunday, Easter day is the Sun
day after.
The paschal controversy, which for
a time divided C~hristendom, grew out
of a diversity of custom. The churches
OF Asia Minor, including many Juda-
lied Christians, kept their paschal feast
on the same day that the Jews kept
their Passover, the 18th Of Nissan, the
Jewish month corresponding to u
March or April. But the churches of
the West, remembering that the Lords
resurrection took place on a Sunday,
kept their festival or the Sunday fol-

they hoped not only to commemorate
the resurrection on the day of the
week on which it actually occurred,
but also distinguish themselves more
effectually from the Jews.
For a time this difference was borne
with mutual forbearance and charity.
And when disputes began TO arise,
Polycarp, bishop OF Smyrna, went on
a visit to Rome, and conferred with
Anicetas, bishop Of that city, upon the
question. Polycarp pleaded while An
icetas adduced the practice of St. Pc
ter and st. Paul. Concessions were
made by neither side, and so the mat
ter was dropped, or rather held in
allegiance, but the two bishops con-
tinued in Christian friendship and con
cord. This was in A. d. 1853.
Toward the end Of the century, how
ever, Victor, bishop Of Rome, resolved
conform to the western practice, and
wrote an imperious letter to the prel-
ates Of Asia, commanding them TO
keep the festival Of Easter al the time
observed by the western churches.
They naturally resented this, and de-
clared that they would keep the day
az the tire they had been accustomed
to observe it. From this point the dis.
pute gathered strength. and became
