the Asiatics. kept Easter day on the

not, We're style 'Quartodecimens'' by
those who adopted the Roman custom.
At the commencement Of the Fourth
century matters had gone to such a
length that the Emperor Constantine
thought 1t his duty to take steps to
stop the controversy, and to insure uni
fornltty OF practice. For this purpose
ne had a canon passed In the great
ecumenical council at Nice. A. D. 32s.
That everywhere the great feast OF
Easter should be observed upon n
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 all future disputes as
to time. the following rules were laid
down: a March q shall be ac-
counted the vernal equinox. That the
full moon happening upon or next after
the 2lst of March shall be taken for the
full moon of Nissan. That the Lords
day next following that full moon be
Easter day. But III the full moon hap

be the Sunday after.

here on April 4. for the heavyweight
championship of the world. has been
postponed until Monday. April 5,
The p~ostponemel1t was due to a re

Cuba. III q letter 10 the fight pro
motors, he said that great objection
had arisen in Cuba and the United
States to the fight taking place Easter
sunday, a holy day, and he requested
that h event he postponed until the
Gay following. A meeting of the prin-
ciDals and promoters was at once held
and the request OF President Menocal
was acceded to.
Americans here have been surprised
at the opposition in Cuba to holding the
fight on Easter Sunday. The promoters
were assured that at least 5000 more
people would attend any day other than
Easter. The date originally was set
for Saturday. April s.. but it was
changed TO Sunday at the request of

| Next to Christmas, Easter is the
Teatest festival of the Christian
,hurch. In primitive times 1t was
isual for Christians to salute one an
.sther on the morning of this day by
exclaiming: Christ is risen," to
| which the saluted person replied: He
Is risen. indeed" or And hath ap-
peared unto Simon"--a custom still re-
tanned In the Greek church.
The common name of this festival in
the east was the paschal east, because
kept at the same time as the Jewish
passover, and i'll some measure succeed
Ing TO it. In the sixth of the Ancyran
! ranons it is called the Great day"
| The term Easter" is derived from
AEostre.' a Saxon deity, whose feast
was celebrated every year in the spring,
the name being retained when the
character of the feast was changed.
Easter is In name, as well as in reality,
the feast of the resurrection.
Although there has never been any
difference of opinion in the Christian
church as to why Easter is kept, there
has been a good deal as to when it
ought to be kept. 1t Is not fixed to one
particular day, like Christmas day.
Easter moves backward and forward,
according as the full moon neXt after
the vernal equinox falls nearer or far
Their from the equinox. The accepted
rule for ascertaining the day upon
which Easter falls is as follows: East
or LAY is always the first Sunday after
the full moon which happens Upon or
next after the 2lst day of March, and
II the full moon happens upon a Sun
day, Easter day is the Sunday after.
The paschal controversy, which for a
time divided Christendom, 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 l4th Of Nissan, the
Jewish month corresponding to our
March or April. But the churches of
the west, remembering that the Lords
resurrection took place or a Sunday.
kept their festival on the Sunday fol-
lowing the 14th of Nissan. BY SO doing
they hoped not only to commemorate
the resurrection on the day of the week
on which 1t 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 h prac-
tice Of st. Philip n st. John, while
Anicetas adduced the practice of st.
Paul. Concession We're made by neither
side, and so the matter was dropped, or
rather held in allegiance, but the two
bishops continued in Christian friend
ship and concord. This was in A. ID,
15S.
Toward the end of the century, how
ever, Victor, bishop of Rome. resolved
to compel the eastern churches to con-
form to the western practice. and wrote
an lmperious letter to the prelates of
Asia. commanding them to keep the

Welcome Easter.

1t was Robert Louis Stevenson who
said; The world is so full Of a num-
Der of things, l am sure that we all
should be as happy as kingsl"
Today the word should be inserted
tho world is fun of a number of
beautiful" things-for never was ma
ture so beautiful. The balmy wealth
or of the past few weeks having made
everything burst into bud and bios
som; the Strawberries to ripen; the
azaleas, violets. peach trees, wisteria,
pansies, yellow jasmine to furnish
hues so varied, with the blue sky
above and the golden sunlight flood
ing the earth, until one asks can any
one in the world be unhappy?
Then society wakens with q sigh OF
supreme content for the resurrection
means to them the beginning Of social
life all over again which for six weeks
has been more or less quiet.
SO Easter Is the most welcome Of
festivities and just as Christmas, the
birthday of the Savior ia marked with
loving and unselfish thought Of Others,
so is Easter-the triumph Of the King
Of kfngs-celebrated, too, with great
JOY as the resurrection holds out the
hope Of salvation to a sinful, erring
world. therefore spiritual thoughts
lead with the material and social world
coming after, in the rejoicing over the
risen King.
