We quote ^l0 from Dr. Wolling as follows: atl(' 1 The whole Christian world now Ave r celebrates Easter, which is the low? . joytul festival in memory ot the pi-, 1 1 r* 1 E'ini rttMu i i eutiwii ui uui uuiu v.-in lot. t j Tliis la the great movable fea6t * of the Church and to many it is room e \ perplexing to tell just when it is hou8< due. it can uever in any year come earlier than March 22nd, ' or later than April 25th, bill the j ?f lh s rule by which it-* coming lsde-jcorat tjtermined is the tollowing: it, ^ | must fall ou ttie tirst Sunday af- ' ' t! ter the first full moou following |'( * the vernal equinox, which, ot story e course, gives us the 21st of March ^reS'. - 1 as the fixed point. The name of this feast, Easter,; 11 is by many supposed to come his 1 l! from the name ot the S&xon god- Tli 8 dess, Easire, whose festival among , those rude people was supposed ,c : to come at this season, and as ' * ! some claim was transferred by dwel y I the Church into the Christian kq,,u, a calendar. This may have been. v i Llowever, it is a notable fact that none ot its customs ol (hat wan- , 'he I ton goddess are joined to ourq,a?] solemn, beautiful feast, and hence j e! 1 Ar fine und r\lhur rA<!CAt\o T (I m ' U 11 i ii in wijh v/hi^i a uiirwiiil x n hi | ej disposed to think of its origin as; ,r another and very different. After, e .camming many opinions my thought is that the word "East ' ern" was by the Anglo-Saxons ,v '* changed by dropping one letter ir >m Eastern to our Easter. It , e is reasonable thus to conclude,' 'ere H i for they looked to toe Ea*t t??r , ^*res 10'our Lord's coming, an the sun by I 8 j bursts lorth in the east bringing tool ?

And hence the 8! name. In ali of Northern En. ie rope a- also among the Latin .[ ?"i race* the word used for Easter is j, ' Paschna, which is the word for j j; '* Passover, the old .Jewish feast.
