At the business meeting of Wesley

that when Sundays. Improper for
fasting, only thlrty-stx days remain
ed. The change was made by Pope
Gregory and the observance began
four days earlier, on A-h Wednesday.
The word. Lent, is derived from the
lengthening of days. In the early
church, it was observed for forty
hours, the period that Christ lay In
the tomb, but was changed later to
Include the forty days. It closes the
Saturday preceding Easter.
In 325 A. D. the council of Chris
tian churches at Nlcaea (present day
Nice of Isnlk In Asia Minor) decreed
that Easter should be on the first
full
moon which happens upon or next
after the 3 1st of March. The chief
reason was that the pilgrims needed
moonlight to travel on their way to
the great yearly Easter festivities.
Thus he date of Easter may van' be
tween March 22 to April 35, over a
period of thirty-five days. Easter
this year falls on April 31. almost as
late In the year as it Is possible to be.
The last seven days of Lent con-
of that week Is observed as Maundy
Thursday, commemorating the insti
tution of the Eueharise. Good Fri
day, the following day. commemo
rates the day of Christ's crucifixion.
Easter, one of the chief festivals of
the Christian church, commemorates
the resurrection of Christ.
