A voice, a mystery, The custom of the Christian church now universally i the gospel has spread over the face of the whole earth of cdlebrating, Eas- ter, as a peculiarly Christian com- memoration of a Saviour's death and resurrection, yas not, it mast be re- membered, originally 'so instituted, the custom having obtained for many centuries among the carly pagans, among whom we must number our Anglo-Saxon forefathers, of recog- nizing Faster, or the spring season, as being especially suggestive of the highest thoughts and aspirations within the compass of religious belief, and of devoting it, as such? to the peculiar worship of their spring god- dess, who brought fertility and bless- ing to the land she visited. Thus we have Kastre," or' Estera, goddess of the dawn and of the spring, at whose votive shrine ' offerings and libations were presented at the spring season, and to whom prayers an supplica- tions were most religiously made by he: humule votaries. It remumined for christianity to transform this idea of idolatry. réstricted and prescribed in its application as it necessarily was, into one of gloriously divine import to the wh human family, infusing it with the sacred and beautiful teach- ing of an atoning love. The change in this term is only one of many @ther changes wrought by the trans forming power of the Christian idea in the effete language dedicated to heathen idolatry. The (ireck word agape in all Greek literature, down. to the New Testa- ment, sionified a heathen festival of the most uncouth and degrading re- ligious ceremonies, a carousal of drunken and licentious lust; when christianity took hold of the word it put an entirely new meaning into it, and, illuminating the term with the divine beputy of purity and holiness, and taking it out of its suggestive and indecent context, made it refer to the most. sacred and commemorative of all Christian institutions--the Love Feast and sacrament of the Lord's supper. The word evangellion been similarly treated, referring in the Greek poets, as in Homer and Thucy- dides, to the reward given the bearer of good didings, then later coming to mean the good tidings brought. When Christianity took hold of the word it infused a higher, more spiritual mean- ing vet, giving it the interpretation ok has gosy latterly ~ meaning the sacred volu containing the '"'gobd tidings of great joy which shall be to all peo- ple." And" we have seén how the word Easter has: come up from the inferior reference to the idolatrous rites of a heathen festival to one of glor- ious beauty and world-wide Christian import. In the Hebrew Passover and the Christian festival of the resurrec- tion, we find a similar divergence of spiritual meaning in its application to religious truth, the one of which was temporal, the other spiritnal; t'~ one purely commemorative tie other in- spiring: the one national, the other world-wide. In the Hebraic rites the paschal lamb was immolated the fourteenth Nisan, and it was believed that Christ sufiered the same day. Considerable difficulty has always been experienced in the determination of the exact day: on, which our Lord was crucified and the evidence upon which the church has endeavored to establish its sacred commemoration of the event is large- Iv traditional, which renders it a very difficult matter to come to anvthing more than a merely plausible ap- proximation. One method of deter- mining the day is that of the Jewish Christians, afterwards called Judai- who, in the early vears of Chris- tianity endeavored to is the dav of the erucifixion correspond identical- lv with that on which the Passover lamb was slain. And as, in the He- braic rites, the paschal lamb was immolated the fourteenth Nisan, it was believed that the erucifixion took place the same day: in other words, that the crucifixion occurred either on the fourteenth Nisan. or on the four- teenth day of the lunar month of which the fourteenth day either falls on or next follows. the vernal enninox. The greater number of Christian churches, however, attaching the greater importance to the dav of our Lord's resurrection--the first da of the week, Faster dayv--held most relic giously to Easter being celebrated on that dav. thus establishing the com- 7Ors, shoulder point.

WISE MOTHER CHURCH Purified Pacan Feasts and Adapted Them to Chris- tian Uses--Whence Names Come -lof the moon of prevailing wherever , memoration of the resurrection on the Sabbath following the fourteenth day March, the day. Uhrist died. The present method of deter- mination has arisen from this, with some necessary changes that reader it subject to no hard and fast rule, con tent rather to determining the period than the exnct time. The manner which is known as the western method, and of which Victor, Bishop of Rome, has the honor of be ing the originator, fixes the feast of Easter, or the resurrection, on the Sunday immediately following the fourteenth day of the March moon. Constantine introduced a change into this method at the council of Nicta in 325, adopting the rule which makes Faster day,.to be always the first Sunday. after the full moon, which happens upon or next after March 91st, and, if the fll moon should happen to fall upon a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday affer. By this me- thod, which has befn universally adopted throughout ¢hristendom, and which, for over sixteen hundred years, has came down to our day unchanged. Faster day is always a Sunday, and mav come as early as March 22nd, or ate as April 25th. \o superiority of this method in resurrection is read- ily apparent, as it makes it fall, not upon an exact date of the month, corresponding to an old and obsolete Hebrew rite, but upon a fixed day of the woek--the day on which our Lord rose from the dead. And while the month itself ig not an arbitrary one, the method is so simple and so easily operative that, by the reference to tha lunar appearances, it has become ca- pable of such elasticity "as to be in harmony with the coming of soring. And there surely can be no pleasure in celebrating Easter in mid-winter. In our climate, where seasons come early or late according to the caprice of nature, the early celebration of Easter in a late season would rob it of half its charm. As the festival of the re- surrection and the innate suggestive- ness of all that the spring holds dear it were assuredly incongruous to have as determining the Paster appear at a time when the world wots only of death, cold and barrenness. In France, from the twelfth to the sixteenth century, the calendar year began with Easter, but in 1564 Chas. ix, fixed the beginning of the year on January Ist. The time of Easter being the great- est and most important of all the moveable fensts of "the Christian church determines all the rest. At the time of the introduction of the Gre- gorian calendar in the sixth century, is was debated whether Faster should continue to be moveable, or whether a fixed Sunday after March 21st should be adopted in its stead ap lit was largely in deference to the andient custom that lod the ecclesiastical, an- thorities of the time to adhere t#< the method of determining Faster by the moon, which has often been a prolific source of confusion; for it is not the actual moon in the heavens, not even is the determining factor of the Fas ter-tide. In fact it might be said that the me: moon of astronomers, that the ceclesiastical moon, which from the time of Moses, has regulated the feasts' of the church, is a purely im- aginary one. From the days of the prophet of Sinai the fourteenth of the calendar moon has always been con- sidered a full moon for» ecclesiastical purposes, 'and 'in the reckoning of Faster the new calendar moon al ways follows the real new moon some- times by two or even three davs. In this way the ceclesiastical full moon falls generally on the fifteenth or sixteenth of the real moon, and thus after the real full moon, there fore, which determines the time of 2 r, is the fourteenth day of the calendar moon, which makes it fall on the fifteenth or sixteenth day of the real moon and 'thus after the real moon is full; and Easter day is al by rule, the first Sunday after the paschal full moon that is, after ways, the full moon which falls upon, or next after, the 21st of March. And should this full moon fall upon a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday following. One obiect of thus regulating the time of Easter by the calendar, or ecclesiastical moon was in order that it might never fall on the same day as the Jewish Passover. However, they did occur, together on April 1th, 1505: April 3rd, 1825; and on April 12th, 1903, and will £0 occur a»ain om Anril 17th, 1927, and on April 19th, 1981. The Jewish festival usually occurs in Passion week, never before March 2th, nor after April 25th, while the Christian festival of the resurrection is never before March 22nd nor after April 25th. In 1761 and 1818. Easter fell on March 22nd, these being the only two cases of such occurrence dur- ing the past two centuries. In 1913 Faster Sunday will fall on March 23rd as it did in 1845, and 1856. The lat- est Fasters in this present century andi last occur in 1886 and 1943, on April 25th. In 1848, Easter fell on April 93rd, and in 1859 on April 21th. Dur ing the next hundred years it will fall on April 23rd, but twice--in 191§ and in the year 2000, while it does not once fall on April 24th. Other late dates of Easter Sunday are: Ap ril 22nd, 1962; 1973, 1934, and April 21st, 1946, 1957. It falls om 19th in 190%, and April' 20th. in 1919 and 1924, also in the year 1930 and in the year 2003, Easter has long been known in the Christian Church ag the queen of festi- vals, outranking every &ther feast day in the whole calendar year throughout the entire history of mankind, being held in even deeper veneration and more devotional love than Christmas itself. Indeed, Easter has an unassail- able place in the hears of men, and is exalted to a shrine whence, by cus- tom, tradition or any event on earth, gay, not by the mighty tidal wave of compelling force, can she ever be de- throned. And many are the sweet and beautiful customs that obtain in vari- ous countries, or that have obtained, during this supremely ss season by ir, some of which are long ich many yet the the dim the Christians, meeting , saluted each other with a kiss, and the words "Christ is risen," the response, "He is risen indeed, (Chri surrexit.

Feasting and al rejoicing univer- sally prevailed, and a sweet custom hat come down to or own day of conlersing presents of vari-colored eggs, called Pasch or Pace eggs, which were often elaborately ornamented and stained. These are sometigies kept as amulets, or, as frequently occurs, they are eiiten; and are played by striking ove another. The fe is peculia uited to the idea of the resurrection, which the Easter sea- oT ol is remarkably sug- of all for which the Baster-tide stands. In some moorland parts of Scotland it used to be the custom for young people to go éut early on Pasch Sunday, and search for the eggs of wild ~~ for breakfast, it being thought a good amen to find them. The practice of the use of eggs as symbolic of religious ideas is not con- fined to the Christians; the Jews used eges in the Passover, and the Per- stans, when they kept the festival of the solar new year, in the month of March, presented one another with eggs of various eblors and painted de- signs. 'The "Feast of Eggs," from the Christian point of viey, however, is peculiatly su ive, being emblema- tic not only of the revivieation of na- ture, which obcurd at spring, but es- pecially of the resurrection and the future life. - In the time of the first Fdward there is an" en pPrésérved in the tower wherein it has been recorded that 400 eggs beautifully painted, were used for the purpose of presentation.
