HOW EASTER IS FIXED.

FROM A FOURTH CENTURY DECISION.

[BY THE REV. DESMOND MORSE-- BOYCOTT.]

The House of Commons is seek

ing to fix Easter Day as the Sunday after the second Saturday in April.

If this Bill were passed Easter

tween the 8th and 15th. If April would fall in future on any date be-

1st were a Saturday, April 9th would be Enter Day. If April 7th, were a Saturday (as this year),Easter Day would be the 15th. The days surrounding Easter would be equally stabilised. Good Friday might be April 7th (at the earliest) or April

13th (at the latest).

This would affect the whole

calendar. There are certain festival which do not depend upon the moon and never change, such as Christ- mas, and a number of dependent festivals, such as the Epiphany on January 8th. The fixing of Easter

would not affect them.
