.aeetion discussed by a b. F. E
miner eorreapoodent.
Your aditorlal on tbe beginning of tbe
new century begs the question , Yon
state that there wet no year 0 in the
Christian era. How do you know. Th,
point at issue between the disputants iu
this controversy Is precisely this ques
tion of fact : Was there or was there not
year 0 iu our modern system of reck
oning date.
It is said we canot have a csntury un
til we have a hundred units and a bund-
red units complete. No one denies this
elemeutary proposition. Tbe question
of the beginning of the etntury does not
at all depsnd on this. It depends on
the manner iu which you uurk down
your units.
It takes a hundred dollars to make a
dollar-century. Iu order to bave this
century you must have a hundred units.
The minute you add a cent to $99.99 you
have 100, and you bave completed your
first dollar-century. Add another cent
and you are in your second dollar cent
tury. It you havb $1,899.99 you bave eigh
teen dol'ar-centuries and yon are in your
nineteenth . Add a cent and yon have
$1,900, tbat ie to say nineteen dollar
centuries. Add another cent, $1,901.01
and.you are in your twentieth dollar
century. You don't wait until you are
able to write down $1,901.00 to state that
you are in your twentieth dollar-cent
ury.
The reason of this fact is that in cur
system of counting dollars we begin
with 0 and not with I. When we are in
our first dollar tor instance, we write
down $00.25, $00.60, $00.75 and sjon.
This system is also used in c '.anting
distances. If we start from San Francis
co to San Jose, we find the first mile
stone, not at the starting point, but a
mile from the city. At the starting
point the cyclometer marks aero. If we
keep taliy ol the atones as we pass along,
the moment we mark down one we are
in oar second mile. The moment we
have put down nineteen, we are begin
ning our twentieth mile.
What now is oar Christian era? It is
a system of measuring distances. We
ask ourselves bow far ars we from a
fixed point?
ally, the incarnation. The use of the
Christian era is to tell us how lar we are
from that point. It is the tally or rec
ord ol the time-distance.
Now it is clear to you that when we
re at the starling point we are at zero.
Therefore, tbe first 3 ear must be the
yearO. For example, suppose we are
reckoning events that happened from
the very beginning, how should we pro
ceed? Naturally we would say the first
month or tbe second month, oi the sixth
month. Just as if we had to w rite down
1 cent or 2 cents or 8 cents, we should
not write $1.01 or $1.02 or ll.Ort, bat
$00.01, $00.02, $00 06. Ia the same
manner we should not say A. D. 1 March
or A. D. 1 April or A. D. 1 August, but
simply thejmonth of the incarnation or
tbe April after the incarnation or the
August after the incarnation . We have
no right to count a year nntil we bave
finished it, according to tbe root princi"
Die of our adversaries; therefore, we
bave no light to set down the year 1 un-
