FIRE DOES $200 DAMAGE TO TOWSON STORE. There was a fire on Sunday last at the confectionery store of Albert Silberman, at the corner of the York Road and Pennsylvania avenue, at Towson. It was caused by defective electrical wiring. The damage was about $200. The fire was extinguished by the Towson fire engine company. ----------o---------- CATONSVILLrE FIREMEN CALLED TO SAVE BLAZING AUTO.

A bill was filed by the Cityco Realty Company in the Circuit Court at Towson against the Pennsylvania Railroad. The plaintiff states that it is the owner of 197 acres of land at the intersection of the railroad and Swan Creek, in the Fifteenth district, and there was formerly a crossing over the tracks of the defendant so as to give access to the plaintiff's property and that it is necessary for its use, and has been closed and the plaintiff forbidden to use it. The right of way of the railroad, it is stated, splits the plaintiff's property into two tracts of land, the one of which is deprived entirely of all access to any public road or way, and can only be reached by boat from the Bird or Gunpowder Rivers. The plaintiff asks for a mandatory injunction by which the Court will compell the railroad to provide and maintain a suitable crossing, so as to permit access to the plaintiff's property. Attorney Walter C. My-lander appears for the plaintiff. ----------o---------- HEREFORD ODD FELLOWS TO ATTEND CHURCH SERVICE APRIL 27TH.

(Continued from Page 1) the equator from south to north). But the vernal equinox was arbitrarily determined and declared to fall on March 21, whether it would or no. In reality it often fell a little earlier or a little later. The controversy arose over the fact that in the early days the Christian Easter and the Jewish Passover were usually celebrated on the same day. As the opposition of the Christians to the Jews became more acute the agitation against celebrating Easter on the same day as the Passover grew. In the Second century the churches of Asia Minor, many of which were racially Jewish, kept Easter on the Passaver date, the fourteenth of Nisan, the Jewish month which corresponds to our March, or April. But the churches of the West, in recognition of the fact that the Resurrection took place on Sunday, kept their festival on the Sunday following the fourteenth of Nisan. By this they accomplished the double purpose of celebrating the Resurrection on the Sabbath and of separating themselves from the Jews. Tertul-lian states that in the Occident and in Carthage Easter was an immovable feast, taking place in the month of March. He names March 25 as the day of the death of ChCrist, and it is presumed that on that date a fast was begun which was broken the following Sunday in the celebration of the Lord's Supper. When these disputes arose Poly-carp, the bishop of Smyrna, in 158 A. D., conferred with Anicetas, the bishop of Rome, upon the question, Poly-carp pleading the practice of SS. Philllip and John, the Anicetas referring to SS. Peter and Paul. Neither could convince the other and the matter dropped for the time being. But at the end of the Second century Victor, the bishop of Rome, decided it was time to compel the Eastern churches to follow in Rome's lead, and wrote a letter demanding that the prelates of Asia celebrate Easter on the same day as the Western church. The East refused and the dispute became bitter, and all those who kept Easter on the fourteenth of Nisan were termed by their opponents Quartodecimans. Another objection to the Eastern way of reckoning the feast was due to the imperfections of the Jewish calendar. The Western Christians considered the vernal equinox the beginning of the natural year, and owing to the miscalculation in the Jewish calendar the Passover was sometimes celebrated before the vernal equinox. This resulted in the paschal feast sometimes being held twice within one year and omitted altogether the next. At the beginning of the Fourth century the Emperor Constantine decided that it was time to end the controversy. And at that time at the council of Nice the regulation was made that Easter should fall upon the Lord's day following the full moon of Nisan. But owing to several causes, among them, perhaps, the use of different astronomical cycles, this regulation did not do away with all controversies concerning the date. Certain it is that the Irish and early Angglo-Saxons, before the council of Whitby, did not observe the same day as the Romans. To settle the matter, Oswy King of Northumbria, decided to take the matter in hand and held a council >,t Whitby, A. D., 664. Colman, bis jp of Lindisfarne, represented the Br; cish church, while the Roman party had for its champions Agilbert, bishop of Dorchester, and Wilfrid, a young Saxon. Colman spoke first, and argued that the custom of the church of Britain ought not to be changed since its was inherited from their forefathers, men who had been loved of God. Wilfrid replied, "The Easter which we observe I saw celebrated by all at Rome; there, where the blessed apostles, Peter and Paul, lived, taught, suffered and were buried." Then he concluded, "And if, after all, that Columbia (the great Irish monk) of yours were, which I will not deny, a holy man, gifted with the power of working miracles, is he, I ask, to be preferred before the blessed Prince of the Apostles, to whom our Lord said, 'Thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it; and to thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven?' " Then, King Oswy, turning to Colman, demanded, Is it true or not, Colman, that these words were spoken to Peter by our Lord?" Colman was confused and unable to deny it. He returned, "It is true, O king." "Then," said the king, "can you show me any such power given to your Columbia " "No," was the answer. "You are both then agreed, are you not," continued the king, "that these words were addressed principally to Peter, and that to him were given the keys of the kingdom by our Lord?" Both agreed. "Then," said the king "I tell you plainly, I shall not stand opposed to the doorkeeper of the Kingdom of Heaven; I desire, as far as in me lies, to adhere to his precepts and obey his commands, lest by offending him who keepeth the keys, I should, when I present myself at the gate, find no one to open to me." Thus the controversy ended, much to the dissatisfaction of Colman, who resigned his see rather than submit to the decision. .x«:«:«»»xk«>«k->»>:«>k-w;«v->«? Don't Run! Phone!
