NO CALENDAR FOR 500 YEARS
Christians Reckoned Time According
70 Customs Of Nations 70 Which
They Belonged.

History tells us that for 600 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 "Anno Urbis Conditae," or
year Of the founding Of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
Of Diocletian, calling 1t 1.-THE Era Of
the Martyrs" and still others used the
calendar Of the Copts Of Egypt. In the
sixth century Denis the Little, Greek
monk living in Rome. made calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date Of which he fixed at 753 A. q. G.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded 753 B. G.
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 contin-
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 B. q

French astronomer, Camille Flamma.

Moreover, although we are actually
approaching the year 1923 A. D., there
is little probability that our calendar
will ever be reformed to show the fact,

CITY CHURCHES
TO BE CLOSED
Because of Flu All Religious
Gatherings For Tomorrow
Are Banned

Every church door in Harrisburg
will be shut tight tomorrow for the
second Sunday in succession, be-
cause of the epidemic of Spanish
influenza raging in the city. Fol-
lowing the ruling of the State Health
Department last week. ministers of
the city imm ediately cancelled all
plans for services to be staged last
Sunday. Owing to the fact that the
ban on public gatherings has not
been lifted, there were no plans
made for any religious or secular
meetings tomorrow. Therefore the
Telegraph does not publish any
church notices today.
In addition to tomorrow being a
"churchless Sunday" it will be cele-
brated as a "gasless Sunday" and no
automobiles will be seen on the
street unless they are on necessary
business.
Since citizens of Harrisburg have
been asked not to hold church SER
vices tomorrow it has been suggest
ed by officers of the Harrisburg
Ministerial Association that they
hold family worship in their homes.
AS result it is predicted that for
the first time in many years family
worship will be held in homes
throughout the city.
Many have spoken about the
happy plan of the pastor of Market
Square Church to give brief mes
sage from the bulletin board. to the
passing people. The second message
was a prayer. 1t read: Heal our
sickness, o Lord! and by Thy great
mercy and power defend us from
personal, civic and national .perils,
this day; for the. love of Thy Son,
our Saviour"
The prayer might we'll be copied
and used by any people who feel
the need of some form of prayer
for the minute angelus. When II
was taken down the pastor put in
it's stead a prayer of David. found
in the 57th Psalm. 1t is: "Be
merciful unto me. o God; for my
soul taketh refuge in thee; yea, in
| the shadow of Thy wings will 1 take
refuge, until these calamities be
overpast."
