NEW EASTER DATE
-- *
Many times it has been proposed to establish a more nearly uni
form date for Easter Sunday, but tradition and custom are hard to
overcome, so the old method of calculation, established by the Council
of Nice more than 1,600 years ago, still prevails.
Under this system Easter may fall aa early as March 22 or as late !
as April 25 and all moveable feasts of the church are governed by the j
date of Easter. Easter is unusually early this year, falling next Sunday, |
March 27.
The British House of Commons once passed a bill proposing that !
the legal date of Easter be the first Sunday after the second Saturday
in April. It was not intended that the British proposal should try to
put this into effect alone, but the idea was to call a world conference
to consider joint action of the nations on the subject.
There are many reasons, business and social, to commend the new
plan, but inasmuch as such an innovation would clash with long es- !
tablished religious custom it is doubtful that it will be able to com- j
mand support in ecclesiastical circles- Without- such support it could ;
not be given practical effect.
A Gateway editorial commenting on the Manchurian difficulties
was recently reproduced on the front page of the big Japanese daily
newspaper published in Seattle accompanied by laudatory praise for
The Gateway's fairness on the subject. While innumerable Gateway
editorials have been republishd by leading papers in the United States,
and while this paper has been cussed in many languages, the Japanese j
reprint was the first time as far as our knowledge is concerned a Gate- ;
way editorial has achieved to this signal honor.
It appears the point of distinction between Japanese and Chinese |
rule of Manchuria, is the Japs raise wheat and the Chinks raise hell, j
Hurricanes and blizzards are sweeping the States. We rather ex
pected something from the present Congress.

intended to join Valley on the
flight “for to see” what the coun

About one more week and the

Big steel backstops are in place
and the crew, Huff, Shellhorn, Hor

shooters have joined the local or

They brought a report of something

They take pride in having rid the
country of two of the pests, at least,
even though their catch as a whole
was, in common with others, dis
appointing, says the Seldovia Her- !
