defined the paschal moon as 1.-THE moon
whose fourteenth day followed the
spring equinox" But this ruling did
not settle all difficulties. The third
phase Of the controversy arose from
the divergent calendars and cycles in
vogue in the Eastern and Western
church centers. st. Augustine tells US
that in the year 3S7 the churches Of
Gaul kept Easter on March p, those
Of Italy on April is, while the Egyp-
tan Christians celebrated April 25 as
Easter day. The British and Irish
churches for long time adhered to
an ancient system of computation,
though they observed Sunday as the
Easter day.
With the adoption Of the Metonic
cycle as guide, the formula for fix
ing the Easter date was determined
as 1.-THE first Sunday which occurs aft
er the first full moon, or. more accu-
rately, after the first fourteenth day
Of the moon, following the 21st Of
March, which is the vernal equinox"
AS a result, the earliest possible date
of Easter is March %, the latest
April %.

return home from Sunday school and
church to hunt for Easter rabbits and
eggs.
The origin Of egg-rolling which most
youngsters enjoy so much, says Path
finder Magazine, is supposed to have
begun centuries ago from the practice
Of farmers rolling eggs over their land
to be sure of abundant yields at harvest
time. This was because the egg was
the pagan emblem of the terminating
of life of early spring. The children
are told that the rabbits lay the eggs,
and for that reason the latter are near
ly always hidden away in nests or
in flower beds in the yard and garden.
The rabbit is another pagan symbol
and has always been an emblem Of

fertility. Modern people have lost
knowledge of what these symbols
mean. yet they have continued these
old pagan customs.
AS to the coloring of Easter eggs a
religious encyclopedia says: Because
the use of eggs was forbidden during
Lent, they were brought to the table
on Easter day colored red to symbolic
the Easter Joy. This custom is found
not only in the Latin, but also in the
Oriental churches. Christians are sup
posed to have adopted the egg-rolling
custom to symbolic the resurrection
and the eggs were colored red in al
fusion to the blood Of redemption"
Easter Monday is always a gala day
for the Riddles, If they have any un-
broken eggs left, especially is this so
for those youngsters In Washington.
On that day thousands of them go to
the White House and Capitol lawns to
roll their vari-colored eggs.

Observance of Lent

1.-THE observance of Lent began
W within $50 years after Christ's
time, but there was no specified
number Of days of fasting. 1t was
extended to about 40 days by the
Fourth century and in the Eighth
or Ninth century 1t was fixed to
commence with. Ash Wednesday
and end with Easter Sunday. Forty
days are thus observed, since fast
ing is not observed on the interven-
ing Sundays.

DESIRABLE VOCABULARY

Acquiring a vocabulary is almost
a matter of instinct, natural Curl
osity, an innate eagerness to find out
the why of things. The acquisition
of a synthetic vocabulary, merely
adding Of words, Is futile thing. A
good many people have so many
words at their command they have
no energy left for thought. 1t is not
the number Of words you know but
the use to which you put them.

S@% casually accepted without
doubt or inquiry practically the world
over. Something of mystery, however,
attaches to this chronological para
dox that now and then perplexes the
curious and the inquisitorial, declares
O writer in the Kansas City Star.
The time of the Crucifixion is fixed
as coincident with the Jewish pass
over, or paschal feast, in the Jewish
calendar month "Nisan," the month
Of the vernal equinox. The first OBJ
security In regard to the day arose
from the Christian Gospels themselves.
The Synoptic Gospels seemed to favor
the day as the fifteenth of Nissan, that
Of st. John, the fourteenth. This es-
tablished, by the preponderance Of
evidence, that the Crucifixion occurred
on Friday, the day before the Jewish
Sabbath. According to Matthew, the
resurrection occurred 'in the end Of
the Sabbath, as 1t began to dawn to-
ward the first day of the week."
Ecclesiastical history preserves three
distinct phases relating to the SUBJ
sequent commemorative day which
came to be known as Easter. Although
the observance of Easter was at
very early period the practice of the
Christian church, serious difference
as to the day for its observance soon
arose between the Christians Of Jew
fish and those Of Gentle descent. With
the Jewish Christians, who associated
the death Of Christ with the sacrifice
Of the Paschal Lamb at the Passover,
which ended ION the fourteenth day
Of the moon at evening"" the Easter
festival followed the paschal tradition,
no matter what day of the lunar month
It CHANGED to fall upon. The Gentle
Christians, on the other hand, follow
ing the Synoptic Gospels, identified
the first day of the week, Sunday, as
fhe day Of Resurrection, and kept the
preceding Friday as the anniversary of
the Crucifixion. This was the phase
Of the controversy that characterized
the first centuries Of Christianity.
The second stage in the Easter con-
troversy centers around the Council
Of Nice, A. D. 325, where so many
doctrinal points were given authenic
sanction. This council was summoned
by Emperor Constantine. The decision
Of the council was that Easter was to
be kept on Sunday throughout the
Christian world. 1t was at this point
that astronomical science entered In
to the controversy. The correct date
Of the Easter festival was to be cal
culated at Alexandria, the then home
Of astronomical science, and the Ro-
man pontiff was to communicate the
date to the churches. This arrange
ment fixed the date of Easter Sunday
as the Sunday following the four
teenth day Of the paschal moon," and
