The radient Christ, the Easter dawn Enkindled with a breath. And that the door might never close Which opened in his way He made of every man a Christ To roll it back today. The annual Easter festival, com memorated by all peoples In every i clime, comes, aa a mixed blessing', pro . ductlve of umdoyed happiness over . 1900 years ago, announcing the glad tidings that the Savior who had been crucified on the cross of Calvary in Gethsemanie, had arisen from the tomb. , It is not a day of fasting and prayer, but a day of Joy and glad tid ings commemorated by Jew and Gen tile In every clime. The hallowed memories Impressed upon the minds nd hearts of little children sing his praises and bring their beautiful floral offerings and place them at the altar of Christian love and hold sweet com munion with loved ones on earth. Today, from pulpit and press will go up eulogies of the Savior of mankind whose life was a dream of purity of thought and spirit with words of adu lation for the good and true and ad monitions to emulate His life and life work. Today beautiful floral tributes gathered by loving hearts and will ing hands will be entwined around th altars and sweet songs and praises will ascend to the throne of grace in thank fulness for the manifold blessings vouchsafed His people here on earth. good for all longitudes. In the in stance before us the actual moon Is full at 4h 56m a. m., Greenwich time, while the same moon Is full at llh tSm p, m. on the preceding day. Washington mean time. Thus people adopting Greenwich time would keep Easter on March I, while those adopt Ing Washington time would keep it on April 23, the next full moon. Dr. Downing gives as the simplest expression for the date of the Taschal full moon March (44 cpact). When the epact Is equal to or greater than 4 this expression giws the date of the preceedlng full moon, and the Paschai full moon Is found ad.ting : to this date. This year the epact Is 24. and the calendar moon Is full on March !0 and April 1$. The latter Is, therefore, the Paschal full moon, and Easter day is the Sunday following April 2S us started in the almanacs. The extreme lucidity of thia expla nation from the learned almanac man. especially useful to the layman, should settle the difficulty at once and for ever. Everybody knew Easter was to be when It was to be, but few of u knew why. Thus, Indubitably, hat the almanac man been found of use. Lent began unusually early this year March 8 bringing Easter Sunday on April 23. The date of Easter Sunday is fixed by the Gregorian catalogue to occur on the first Sunday after the paschal moon, that is, after the full moon which happens on or about March 21, and if a full moon happens on a Sunday, Easter day is the Sun day after. It cannot come earlier than March 22 or later than April 25. Lent is a fast of 40 days not includ ing Sundays, beginning with Ash Wed nesday, It ends with the Saturday pre ceding Easter. It is sometimes called the quadrlgesimal feast and is mad a special season of self-denial by the Roman Catnolic church, Protestant, Episcopal and other churches. Be cause of special pennance and prayer Lent Is pre-eminently the season of spritual revival In the churches.' Lent Is supposed to have Its origin in a de sire to commemorate the 40 days fast of the Savior In the wilderness and his temptation by Satan. PROTECTION TO SOCIETY. In some states, notably Illinois, there seem to be a determined purpose to check the number of divorces by pro hibiting divorced persons from mar rying within a year. This restriction applies as well to the Innocent as to the guilty party. Its violation is pun ishable criminally and a new marrlags is declared void If contradicted with in the years limit. Marital statistics support the conclusion that the ma jority of divorces are had for the pur poses of remarrying. A permanent separation differs from a divorce only in that it does not permit murriage tc someone else. If dlvoieed persons were not permitted to remarry the number of divorces would doubtless be greatly lessened. In divorce decrees In New York it is usual to Insert a provision forbidding the remarriage of the do fendant, but this provision Is com monly evaded by going" to New Jersey or some other state to have the second marriage performed. If divorces were only a matter of private concern, there would be no occasion to ask the Judgment of the courts, any more than for the mutual sundering of any other private con tract. It is because public policy re gards the unity of the family and the preservation of the home as con si J e rations superior to the gratification of individual desire that the law does not allow divorce by mutual consent. Legal separations, however, can always be had when both parties are agreed. There are many Instances when di vorces are an imperative necessity and instead of being detrimental to sootety, are a mixed blessing. Early marriage are often productive of divorces. If an unhappy home, where there are chil dren, can be ameliorated by an appeal to the divorce courts, the results are often beneficial. Many a good, true. Christian woman's life Is blighted by being compelled to live with a brutal husband, and If she can better heT condition by appealing to the divorce courts and afterwards remarry, sh is the person to be considered, not the evils arising from divorces. o TO BUILD DCATS. Nsw Company Organiitd to Navigats th Columbia. Articles of Incorporation of the Open River Transportation Co, were filed In Portland yesterday. The capital stock authorised Is S100.000, and Henry Hahn, J. A. Smith and A. It. Devon ar appointed as a company to pen stock books and receive subscriptions. The object of the company, as set forth In the articles, aro to charter, build and operate steamboats, ixows. lighters, ferryboats and all manner of river craft, and operate and maintain docks, wharves.wiirehouses, and to tow vessels on the Snake, Columbia and Willamette rivers and their tributaries. The company may also coimlruct and operate telephone and telegraph lines, SHERIDAN COMING. Transport Will Bring Fourteenth In fantry to Vancouver, The transport Sheridan with th Fourteenth Infantry aboard, is due to arrive tomorrow. She left Honolulu last Sunday and If sho makes a fast trip may arrive here today. Thero are about 500 men In the regiment, and 80 In England, especially in the Estab lished Church circles, tijjy have de veloped a rival to "the age of Ann." It is when to keep Easter Sunday. De Dating societies this year have talked themselves hoarse over the question; jwt a few quarrels between staid deans and curates have resulted; learned men, astronomers in particular, have spouted and', panned upon the mo mentous question. It all arises out of the fact that the moon as mentioned in the prayer book is not the actual moon at' all. but a fictitious mythical prayer book moon, kept in the book, nobody knows why, centuries after science has proven Its reprehensible irregularity. Dr. Downing of the Nautical almanac, London, has finally made an official statement on the sub ject, for the benefit of ill good church men and whoever may be Interested. Of course the calendar men had fixed Easter long since, but who cares for the calendar if It be not strictly ortho dox? According to the prayer book, Eas ter day (on which all the other mov able feasts and holy days depend) is always the first Sunday after the full moon, which happens upon or next after the 21st day of March. In 1S05 the moon is full on the morning of Tuesday, March 21 at 4h 56m Green wich time, and therefore Easter day would seem to be the Sunday follow ing March 26. But, explains Dr. Down ing "the moon referred to is the ecles laBtical calendar , is not the actual moon In the sky, which is full at a definite instant of time; but a ficti tious moon, the times of the phases of which are so arranged as not to dif fer much from those of the actua moon. These phases are held to oc cur vaguely on certain days and hold GOOD FELLOWSHIP. Good fellowship 1 not only a na tural gift, or trait, to be found In th Americans. It Is a quality cultivated by them as late as the mature days ot manhood. After a good fellowship is like the sense of humor. Both are the outcome of simplicity and philo sophy in the character. You will never find either In a conceited man. You will never be a good fellow or a humor ist until you can stand a Joke at your expense. The conceited man has no humor In him nor can he see it in others. The conceited man Is a dull fool, who spends his life standing sentry at the door of his dignity. He Is an unredeemable bore, who misses ;he sweetest pleasure of life, and who makes life unbearabls to all those who live around him. You do not meet that man in the polite society of Astoria, The American man Is a generous, good-hearted, pleasant, genial, good fellow, with whom you get on from th beginning. In England you meet charming man, but there Is a crust to break through at first before you can get at them. The American Is wide open, all ready for use . OCCIDENT DINNER.
