At the beginning of the Fourth
century the Emperor Constantine de-
cided that 1t was time to end the con
| troversy. And at that time a the
council of Nice the regulation was
made that Easter should fall upon the
Lords day following the full moon of
| Nissan
| But owing to several causes, among
them, perhaps, the use of different
astronomical cycles, this regulation
did not do away with all controversies
concerning the date. Certain it is that
the Irish and early Anglo-Saxons, be-
fore the council of Whitby, did not
observe the same day as the Romans.
To settle the matter, Oswy, King of
Northumbria, decided to take the mat
ter in hand and held a council at
Whitby, A. D., 664 Colman, bishop
of Lindisfarne, represented the British
church, While the Roman party had
for its champions Agilbert, bishop of
Dorchester, and Wilfrid, young
Saxon. Colman spoke first and argued
that the custom of the church of Brit
ain ought not to be changed since it
was inherited from their forefathers,
men who had been loved of God.
Wilfrid replied, 1.-THE Easter which
we observe l saw celebrated by all at
Rome; there, where the blessed apos-
ties, Peter and Paul, lived, taught,
suffered and were bsried." Then ne
concluded, And If. after all, that
COLUMBIA (the great Irish monk) of
yours were, which / will not deny,
holy man, gifted with the power of
working miracles. is he, / ask, to be
preferred before the blessed. Prince Of
the Apostles, to whom Our Lord said,
Thou art Peter, and upon this rock
will / build my church, and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against it; and
to thee viii l give the keys of the
kingdom of heaven?"
Then, King Oswy, turning to Col
man, demanded. SIS it true or not,
Colman, that these words were spoken
to Peter by our Lord?" Colman was
confused and unable to deny it. He
returned, 1T is true, o king"
show me any such power given to your
Columbian
mo-" was the answer.
you are both then agreed, are you
not continued the king, that these
words We're addressed principally to
Peter, and that to him were given the
keys of the kingdom by our Lord?"
Both agreed.
Then" said the king, 81 tell you
plainly, | shall not stand opposed to
the doorkeeper of the Kingdom of
Heaven; l desire, as far as in me lies,
to adhere to his precepts and obey his
lest by offending him who
keepeth the keys. l should, when
myself at the gate, find no one
70 open to me-"
Thus the controversy ended, much
% the dissatisfaction of Colman, who
'esigned his see rather than submit to
he decision.

The Easter celebration which skips
so carelessly over the month of March
and April was the subject of bitter
controversy, which ragged some 1e
centuries ago. The present rule for
the determination of Easter is that II
must fall on the first Sunday after the
fourteenth day of the moon that hap
pens to be reigning at the time of the
vernal equinox (the point which the
sun passes in crossing the equator
from south to north). But the vernal
equinox was arbitrarily determined
and declared to fall on March 81,
whether 1t would or no. In reality it
often fell a little earlier or a little
later.
The controversy arose over the
fact that in the early days the
Christian Easter and the Jewish Pass
over were usually celebrated on the
same day. AS the opposition of the
acute the agitation against celebrating
Easter on the same day as the Pass
over grew. In the Second century the
churches of Asia Minor, many of
which We're racially Jewish, kept
Easter on the Passover date, the four
teenth of Nissan, the Jewish month
which corresponds to our March or
April. But the churches Of the West,
in recognition of the fact that the
Resurrection took place on Sunday,
kept their festival on the Sunday fol-
lowing the fourteenth of Nissan. BY
this they accomplished the double pur-
pose of celebrating the Resurrection
on the Sabbath and of separating
themselves from the Jews. Tertullian
states that In the Occident and in
Carthage Easter was an immovable
feast, taking place in the month OF
March. He names March % as the day
of the death of Christ, and 1t is pre-
sumed that on that date a fast was
begun which was broken the follow
ing Sunday in the celebration of the
Lords Supper.
When these disputes arose Poly
carp. the bishop of Smyrna, in 158
A. d., conferred with Anicetas, the
bishop of Rome, upon the question,
Polycarp pleading the practice of SIS.
Phillip and John, the Anicetas refer
ring to S. Peter and Paul. Neither
could convince the other and the mat
ter dropped for the time being.
But at the end Of the Second CEN
fury Victor, the bishop of Rome, de-
cided IL was time to compel the
Eastern churches to follow in Rome's
lead, and wrote a letter demanding
that the prelates Of Asia celebrate

thing for it to occur as early as March
%. In 1851 and 1918 it was on
March 22-but apparently it was such
an unwonted affair that people cele-
brated it on the wrong day in 1918.
