Families of soldiers training In the
United States have been asked by the
war department not to write alarming
or distouraging letters to the men In
the camps. The same request should
be made of families of the soldiers Of
the eypedItionary forces In France.
Nothing beats down the heart Of man
In the field like gloomy and foreboding
letters from home. There should be
the same courage back of the lines as
on them.

NO CALENDAR FOR 500 YEARS
Christians Reckoned Time According
to Customs Of Nations to Which
They Belonged.

History tells US that for 500 years
the Christians had no calendar of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs Of the nations to which
they belonged; The Roman Christians
used the "Anpo Urbis Conditae," or
year Of the founding Of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
OF Diocletian, calling 1t "the Era Of
the Martyrs" and still others used the
calendar Of the CoIts Of Egypt. In the
sixth century Denis the Little, a Greek
monk living In Rome, made a calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date Of which he fixed at 1853 A. q. G.
80 We commonly say that Rome was
founded 75s B. @.
At the beginning Of the eighth CEN
fury the venerable Bede pointed out
that this was an historical blunder.
But no general notice was taken of
his criticism and the error has contip-
ued to this day. Historic facts have
enabled modern scholars to determine
without much possibility Of doubt, the
exact year Of the birth of Jesus. and
to place 1t at what we call 5 B. @.
1T should be noted" says the great
French astronomer, Camille Flamma-
rion, "that the birth Of the Savior re-
manned totally unperceIved at the
time. No register of birth. no contem-
porary historian has bequeathed us
any sacred parchment registering the
event."
Moreover, although we are actually
approaching the year 1923 A. D., there
Is little probability that our calendar
VIII ever be reformed to show the fact.
The confusion Of dates that would re-
suit from substitution Of the more ac-
curate designation would be too great
10 make such meuculousness worth
whiie.-Cleveland PIain-DeaIer.
