The custom of observing Fns ter is oiieof ancient origin. While the rule of its observance obtain ed among Christians at a very early period in the Church there is no trace of it to be found in the writings of the Apostolic fathers. For a gr. at number of years there was a difference as to the time of celebrating Faster betwten the Jewish Christians and the Gentile Christians. At the Council of Nice, sum moned by the Emperor Constan tine in B25, the prelates "all agreed that Faster should be kept on one and the same day throughout the world, and that none should follow the blindness of the Jews." The determina tion of the day was left to the Alexandrian astronomers. Ac cording to the rule adopted Faster is always the first Sunday after the first full moon that! happens next after the 21st day of March. If the full moon hap pens on Sunday then the next i Sunday is Faster. Faster can-! not come earlier than March j 22nd, or later than April 25th. According to oneof the ancient English writers. Hede, Faster is j derived from Fastre, or Ostara, tlie Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Bprimr. to whom the fourth nioiMh, answering to our April, was dedicated. Bede says that this month was the same as "Menais Paschalis," when tlie old festival was observed with the gladness cf a new solemnity. Easter is nn annual festival, supposed to be observed through out all Christendom in commem oration of the Resurrection of our Eord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Rut many people never stop to thin": of this, the greatest of all festivals. It ought to be the gladdest day of the Christian's year?the day on which Christ burst asunder the bonds of death and arose from the grave, a risen ix>rd. Hov many will next Sun day think of the Resurrection Morn and let their hearts be filled with joy and gladness? The appointment by Governor Aycock of Senator M. H. Justice, of Rutherfordton, to be Judge of t the new fourteenth district has given general satisfaction. Sena- 1 tor Justice is one of the ablest men in the Legislature of 1001. j lie is an upright, honest and 1 noble man and as such will make 1 a Judge of whom the whole State ' will be proud. Gen. Fred Funston, the brave i Kansan who captured Aguinal- ! do, is only 35 years old. He has 1 risen very rapidly in the military , service. In 189<> he joined the J Cubans in the war against the i Spaniards. When the United States declared war against ' Spain in 1898, Funston was giv en the Colonelcy of,tbe20th Kan- J an* Regiment and sent to the Philippines.
