Ascension Day is forty- days after r

But Easter Sunday is the great Fes- ?
tival of the anniversary eoinmeinora- a
tion of our Saviour's Besnrreei'ou. o
which foj^Its antiquity and excellence a
challenges precedence of all other fts- u
tivals. v
The observation of this festival is t
as ancient as the times of the ap;- ties. P

Sn the affairs of the primitive church.
In 'hose purer times, the only dis

A controversy between the different
churches a >out the keeping of Easter
Day was I:ept up for quite a while:
the Asiatic churches kept their Easter
upon the same (lay that the Jews observed
their Passover, viz., the fourteenth
day of their first mouth, chiefly
answering our March: and this ihev
did upon whatever <lny of the week
it fell, and from thenee they were
styiefl Quarfo-Decimaus?keeping Easier
upon the fourteenth day after the
apneamnee of the moon.
IV* other ehnrehes. especially those
of the West, kept Easter upon the
Lord's Day following the Jewish Passover.
These latter churches pleaded
apostolic tradition: the Asiatics
claimed iho practice of the apostles
themselves.
The ere a t controversy was finally
determined by the Ecumenical Council
of Nice, assembled by the Emperor
Constantino, wherein it was ordained
that Easier should be kept upon one
and the sn no day throughout the
world; not according to the custom
of the Jews, but upon the Lord's Day,
which decree was ratified and published
by the Imperial Letters to all
the churches; therefore, it became the
Imperative duty of all Christians
throughout the world at that time to
observe V :ster 011 the day set apart
by the said Imperial Letters.
The time of observance of the day
has not '?t changed since, and the
Christian world has for nearly sixteen
cent::: ics. without controversy,
observed the first Sunday after the
Jewish nrmtvers.ary of the Passover
as Easter Sunday. and continues to do
so up to the present day and time.
Easter Day being observed as the day
commemorative of the resurrection of
our Saviour, all Christians must bef
Iflwe that the eternal Son of God. who
was erueincu ana aieu ior our sins,
did not long continue in the state of
-death, but on the third day, by His
infinite power, did revive and raise
Himself, by reuniting the same soul
to the same body which was buried,
and so rose the same Man.
Hope is a beautiful meteor, and like
the rainbow, it is not only lovely because
of its seven rich and radiant
stripes, but as the memorial of a covenant
entered into betwen man and his
Maker, telling us we were born for
immortality, destined, unless we sepulchre
our greatness, to the highest
ionor and noblest happiness.

THE SANTEE CANAL,
* ,
Senator Tillman fleets the Committnn
Having flatter in Charge.
Charleston, Special.?Senator Tillman
had a conference in the board
room of the People's National Bank
last week, relative to the projected
opening of a canal between the Santee
and Cooper rivers for navigation. A. <
committee from the Columbia Chaatber
of Commerce, consisting of M*eaer*
J. B. Norris, E. B. Clark, E. H. Cain
and August Kohn, by appointment met
with Senator Tillman, as did a committee
of the Charleston Commercial _ ,
Ciub, consisting of Messrs. 8. G.
Stoney. chairman, James Cosgrove, R.
Goodwyn Rhett and George W. Williams.
The Charleston committee arrange
for the conference, and by lnvitatioaa
Capt. J. C. Sanford United Staten.-Mg|
army, and Mr. James P. Allen, of the
United States engineer's office, jrere
present
Mr. E. H. Clark, of the Columbia
committee, who is thoroughly acquainted
with the territory throng*,
which the canal is proposed to be run,
made the chief presentation and
showed the desirability and neceeaitr
from a commercial standpoint of sud*
a rnnnortlnn between the two riVCW.
He explained what it would mean for
the commercial development of tha
adjacent territory and Charleston.
The members of the Chariest?*
committee supplemented Mr. Cain's ?
presentation, and after the main argn- J
raent was completed there was a general
discussion of the whole situation.
Senator Tillman freely offered to arrange
for the necessary survey by the
United States Government officials and
to co-opcrate in whatever way he could
in carrying out the desired purpose of
connecting the two rivers and making
it possible to have a shorter and navigable
water route between Columbia
and Charleston. Senator Tillman
promised to do his part and instated
that the Charleston and Columbia
Chambers of Commerce would have {
to supply him with the necessary data
as to the commercial possibilities ef
such a canal. He emphasized that ft.
would be necessary to bring oat thscommercial
possibilities of such a project
rather than to stress any other
feature of such a proposition. Senator
Tillman made suggestions to the two
committees as to this work, which is
so near to the commercial interests of
the two communities, and called attention
to several other matters In which
he might be able to b^P in the couth
mercial development of Charlestoa
and Columbia along the lines of water "
transportation.
Senator Tillman showed the committees
that such work could not be
done in a few days or a few months
and that he would do the very best
that he could to help the cause along.
He said that there was no possibility
of getting such a canal ready before
the two boats which are now being;
constructed for the Columbia business
are completed.
The members of the committee expressed
themselves as very mutii
pleased with the interview that they
had with Senator Tilirnan and with hi*
expressions of friendliness toward* './$
the project.
