Show GOD'S DAY. Flowering branch and clinging vine, Promises of fruit are thine, In the spring. Tender grass and crisping leaves, Swallows building in the eaves. Now hope bring. j But the bud of promise dear To the heart of each glad year, Is the May. This the month of Mary's love. Promise of the life above And God's day. Charlotte A. Callahan. Next year, Lent will begin on February Feb-ruary 9, fifteen days earlier than it did this year, so that Easter Sunday will fall on March -, instead of April 11, as it did this year. Inasmuch as the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which falls on March 21 each year, it is evident next year will be near the record rec-ord for early dating. It will be the second sec-ond earliest Easter in a quarter century, cen-tury, that of March 25, 1S94, being the nearest to the vernal equinox in that period. |
