Kaster date now stabil
ized FOR GREAT BRITAIN
AND NORTHERN IRELAfrh
LONDON.—Easter, so far as com
municants of the Church of England
are concerned, hereafter will fall an
nually on the Sunday after the second
Saturday in April, instead of being
determined, as at present, by the
phases of the moon.
The bill embodying the change for
•Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Was given its third reading in the
House of Lords today. It previously!
had passed the House of Commons,!
and now needs only the assent of
King George to become law. f
The movement for a “stabilization”
of Easter was started some years ago.
The variable nature of the weather in
the British Isles before the middle of
April was one of the most important
arguments used by proponents of the
measure.
Under the present system Easter is
the first Sunday after the first full
moon or on next after Mr.r. ’t 21, and
therefore may be any b jy be
tween March 21 and April 25.
