Pesach, when "the destroying angel passed over the houses of the children of Israel when he smote the Egyptians" The Jews observed Passover on the 14th day of Nissan, or the lunar month of which the 14th day falls on or next follows the day of the vernal equinox.
 There appears to have been some confusion among the early Christian churches as to what date to observe and the council of Nice in 325 A. D. ordained that Easter should be celebrated on the Sunday celebrated on the Sunday which follows the full moon on or next after the vernal equinox. The equinox is fixed as occurring on March 21, when as matter of fact it may come as early as March 19. How ever, the rule is that if full moon occurs on March 21, and that date falls on a Saturday, the next day March 22 is Easter Sunday, which is the earliest it can occur. On the other hand, the first full moon after March 21 may not occur until April IS, and if this date falls on a Sunday, Easter is then observed on the follow ing Sunday, April 18th, the latest it can occur.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS

cold, wet summer and others see a hot and dry season ap. preaching. About next Sep tember the public will know which guess was the best.
 It has been predicted that this is to be "a year without a summer" like 1916. A New York state diarist in 1916 re- corded snow on June 6 and g., freezing weather up to June IA, frost on June 28, backward crops in July because of un- reasonable weather and frost on August 24.
 There are many Signs on which this ~unpromising pre- diction of a cold summer is based but the one most ire quently cited is the recollect- ion (its accuracy is not vouch- safed) that six exceptionally warm summers preceded the frigid summer of 1916 and that during the last six sum- mers temperatures east of the Rocky Mountains have been generally above normal. The theory is entertained that to compensate for the high tenn peratures there must be a season of unusually low ther- nometer readings.
 There is too little known of he sequence of weather con- ditions over a long period of years to warrant the forming 0f such conclusions as the one-in-seven theory of the long distance weather forecasters. Much is said about weather cycles,"- but the prophets" seem to be unable to agree lpon the time it takes to com olete that cycle.

A NEWSPAPERS FAITH.

There are certain critics of newspapers who apparently have little conception of the work that the newspapers are doing in the world. There was a time (our grandfathers can recall it) when there was com paratively little in the aver age newspaper to arouse a man from his dreams, make him look with a wideawake and seeing eye at the world around him, and--THINK.
 This is what the real news paper does today. It is not greatly bothered by the per- sons who say that most of the news should be suppressed because it is so lawful" The newspaper which believes in mirroring life as life really is shows greater faith in human nature than the critics--that is all. When they call this or that piece of news awful" they often mean seductive rather than awful. They wrongly fear that human nature instinctive- ly craves rottenness and that exposure of a vile career will prove enticing.
 It is no more enticing than the picture of an insane asylum is enticing. It shows as nothing else can show how terrible a thing sin is.
 Every line of the picture thunders with a power denied to speech. The memory of it is burned into the soul with a quenchless fire. The reader, old or young, serious or gay gay, can never misunderstood can never forget. It is a lesson that lasts. It is the truth ir flesh and blood--the truth act. ing itself out before our very eyes in real life.
