The Two
Greatest
Festivals
of the
Christian
World

Easter, like Christmas Is season
Of great rejoicing throughout the
Christian world, writes George Il.
Catlin in the Detroit News. The two
might be termed the alpha and the
omega of Christian festivals, since
one celebrates the nativity and the
other the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus Christ from death and the
grave.
AS the early Christian records are
fragInentary and imperfect 1t is i'm
possible to determine when the cele-
bration of Easter began. The early
Christians of the church in the East
were mostly converts from Judaism
and these Christians continued the
observance of the principal feasts and
fasts OF their ancestors, the ancient
Israelites.
The death and resurrection of Christ
occurred at about the time of the
Passover, which Jesus and his dis
ciples had gone TO Jerusalem to OBJ
serve. The Last Supper, held In an
upper room" of a private home In
Jerusalem, by some authorities sup
posed to be in the home Of the mother
of 81. Mark, was the Feast of the
Passover.
The only alluslon in the New Tesla
ment that would indicate a very early
observance of Easter, as feast cele-
brating the Resurrection, Is in the
first collection of the letters of ST.
Paul to the Christians of the church
In Corlnth; fifth chapter and seventh
and eighth verses: purge out the
old leaven, that We may be new
lump, even as We are unleavened.
For our passover also has been sac
rificed, even Christ wherefore let
MS keep the feast, not with the old
heaven. neither with the leaven of
malice and wickedness, but with the
unleavened bread Of sincerity and
truth"
In the subsequent records the first
allusion to Easter is In connection
with a dispute between two groups
of Christians as to the date of the
observance when, In the last decade OF
the second century Of the Christian
era, Polycrates, bishop Of Ephesus
and Irenaeus, bishop Of Lyons. wrote
letters to Victor of Rome, differing
with him ON the subject of the proper
date for the feast.
| The crucifixion occurred on the
sixth day Of the week, or Friday. The
following day was the Jewish Sabbath
and the Resurrection occsrred on the
first day of the week. The early
Christians of Jewish ancestry wished
to signify their separation from theii
former faith. so. presently, they
ceased to observe the Jewish Sabbath
and made their holy day Sunday, the
first day Of the week.
The Jewish calendar is based on tbs
phases Of the moon, having months
OF % and 80 days alternately. The

endar, therefore. change from veal
to year during a period Of 10 year,
or the metonic cycle. at the end O
which period the phases Of the moor
reoccur on the same day. A partia
readtustment OF the dates Is achieves
By introducing an extra or interclar,
month in the third. sixth. eighth
eleventh, fourteenth, seventeenth ant
nineteenth years.

ture, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
They affect the kernels of corn in
such way that while they may germi-
nate they often will produce sickly,
diseased plants which may die in early
stages or produce infected corn. These
diseases weaken the plants at the low
er Joints, and If they come to maturity
the damage is perpetuated.
II is necessary for farmers wishing
to avoid corn root rot to terminate
kernels from every ear Of corn to be
used for seed. The simplest method
of making a test is by means Of an
improved rag-doll germinator. This,
in its essential features, consists of
nothing more than broad strip of
muslin backed by rnoistureproof fiber
paper. Rows Of seed kernels are
placed on the cloth which is rolled
up and left in warm box. The re
suits are, of course, checked against
the ears from which the kernels We're
taken, and only perfect, or nearly per-
feet, ears are kept for seed. This
germinator is very simple and fur
nishes practically complete test.
Bleached or unbleached muslin can
he used for the rag doll. The cloth,
which usually comes in 54inch
width. Is torn across into 12-inch
strips, "a inches long. Before being
used the cloth is boiled, and It should
be damp when the seeds are placed
on It. This cloth Is laid on strip
Of glazed paper, little longer than
the cloth, to allow folding over at the
ends, fresh newspapers being placed
on the table under the paper to avoid
infection. ~
About s kernels are then taken from
each ear and, beginning at the butt,
are laid In rows across the muslin
strip. so that when the strip Is rolled
mn and placed In terminating box
the tips of the seed win be down
ward. The rag dolls are sprinkled
twice daily, and at the end Of days
are taken out. unrolled, and In
spected. The appearance Of the
sprouts is guide to the quality Of
the seed. II more than one seed shows
signs Of Infection, the infected ear IL

year varies from S53 to 1856 days and
because of this irTeguIarity the jew
ish new year may occur anywhere be-
tween September 5 and October 8.
All other dates including the Pass
over, are movable because of this
peculiarly of the calendar.
In 325 A. d. the date Of the Easter
feast. in dispute because of calendar
and religious differences, was finally
settled, but this did not obviate all
difficulties. Because of the imperfec-
tlons of the Julian calendar days or
the month and year began to fall be-
hind. BY the year 1852 the calendar
was 10 days behind and the vernal
equinox, supposed to fall invariably
on March 81, fell upon the 18th. This
caused difficulty in fixing the correct
date of the Easter celebration and
because Of that the Gregorian re-
formed calendar was invented and
adopted.
This festival was always preceded
by fast of some duration. AT first
the fast began on Good Friday ana
continued for 40 hours. A little later
1t was extended to three days and
later still II was extended to a week
known as Holy week, during which
there was general abstinence from
flesh meats. The first mention or
the fast, corresponding closely to our
present Lenten period, occurs In the
fifth canon of the council Of Nicea In
which 1t is styled 'the quadrigesima"
or 40 days.
