Inc Easter festival, as we now cele-
brate it, says Edgar Lucien Larkin.
director, Mount Lowe observatory,
was unknown in the early Christian
centuries. The first Christians, being
largely derived from the Jewish
church, continued for long to observe
the Passover, as well as other ancient
ceremonies.
But the Passover very gradually be-
came transformed to Easter when
Jesus was substituted for the paschal
lamb of Israel while in Egypt Then
a difference arose as to the time of
celebrating between the Christians of
Hebrew and Gentle descent. This
contention existed for centuries.
Those of Jewish descent held that
the day of the death of Jesus should
be the date of the ending of the paschal
fast, which. in Hebrew rites, always
was on the fourteenth day of the moon
in the evening; therefore the subse-
quent. or Easter festival, would follow
irrespective of the day of the week.
But the Christians who had been
GentHes and strangers to Jewish GUS
toms wanted the first day of the week,
or Sunday, to be the first day of the
resurrection festival.
Thus the Friday preceding would be
observed as the date of the crucifixion
without paying any attention to the
day of the month, the fast continuing
until midnight of Saturday
This memorable dispute was one of
the most noted in the history of man
kind and was caused by the irregulari-
ties of the time of full moon in refer
ence TO the year.
The Hebrew sacred year, Exodus
1872, began, as ours ought to-, at the
instant of the vernal equinox. This
time is subject to slight changes due
to the astronomical fact Of perturba-
lions of the motion Of all bodies in the
solar system.
But the variations are as nothing
compared with the wide variations In
times of full moon.
The Hebrews based their years on
lunar changes, while we now find the
exact length of the year by watching
the sun and stars with exceeding ac-
curacy. Confusion always harassed
the ancient Hebrews in chronology,
because they based the beginning Of
each month at first sight of the new
moon.
Then, by applying the ancient Jew
ish rules to Easter, the effect was that
the dates of the crucifxion and resur-
rection, two days supposed to be fixed
for all time, varied.
The trouble is due to the fact that
the moon revolves around the earth in
q days hours 43 minutes liz sec
onds, and the earth around the sun
in 31,55S,149 seconds. Therefore the
moon makes 13.36S7 revolutions to the
earth's one
Then full moon times are not in
harmony with the spring equinox.
This fact caused great trouble with
time in all antiquity. The difficulty
continued for 325 years until settled
by the Council of Nice.
Not being able to decide how to pre-
dict the recurrence of Easter, the

council sent the job over to the astrOn-
omers in Alexandria These good
brethren could not decide, for they
had no lunar tables like we now have
computed by master mathematicians.
The Alexandrians made rules, but the
moon would not obey; Easter would
not fall on Sunday more than any
other day.
But all wanted it to come on Sun
day. so each nation then celebrated to
suit. Thus in A. d. 3S7 they had

over months discrepancy. Russia,
Greece and England had trouble for
centuries
Finally this rule was adopted, but
not by Russia and Greece: Easter
shall be the first Sunday after the
fourteenth day of the moon which
happens on or next after March 81.
But England would not agree to this
until so late as 1882. Absolute accur-
acy is not yet secured, for the per-
turbations still make trouble.
These are minute, however, so
Easter tables are already computed
for more than century in the future.

American Federation of Labor will
continue the fight until it has made
it possible for congress to protect
the nations children from industrial
exploitation.
The Saturday half-holiday and the
fortyfour hour week are the re-
suits of trade union agitation.
The American Federation of Labor
and its affiliated organizations have
not only brought greater happiness
in the lives Of the wage earners but
in the nations hour of danger it
pledged the loyalty of its members
to the government of the United
States. And that pledge was kept.
The American Federation of Labor
is never at loss what to do in any
great crisis. And this was exempli-
fled thousand-fold in it's attitude
during the great war.
Among the other victories and ac
tivities which no one can deny to
Labor are workmen's compensation
laws, the restriction of immigration,
preventing the importation Of labor
under contract, collective bargaining,
elimination of the sweat shop evil
abolition of tenemcnt-house labor
crusade against the white plague by
insisting upon sanitary workshops
and condemnation of the sale Of mar
cotics.
One reason for the success of the
legislation urged by the American
Federation of Labor is that it bene-
fits all the people except the privi-
legged few Labor asks for nothing
that is not good for the people gen.
orally.
It has stood by the farmer in his
efforts for economic advancement. 1t
always has supported any practical
legislation that would benefit the
farmers. 1t has aided every move
ment that has for it's purpose the
advancement of humanity.
We should make it our endeavor
to accomplish greater and greater
results so that on our next Labor
Day we can say as we have said on
every other Labor Day that "the
gains for labor this year are greater
than the gains Of last year."
