n meeting the desire for a fixed
bite for each of the movable holy days
it has been- thought sufficient to en -
ad a fixed date only for Easter,
k w rich is to be upon April 15, as all
the others are calculated from the
date of Easter. As in Mr. Pearce's bill

Of age and other events which may
be affected by, the passing of this bill:

not become operative until the crown
decides that sufficient international
ooncurrence has been secured.
..'A table giving the proposed fixed
calendar shows that the months of
January, February, April, May, lune.
;August, October and November would
each consist of twenty-eight days.
while the remaining months of March.
July, September and December would
each have thirty-five days. New Year
Day is . set apart, thus bringing the

ber of 365, while for leap year a spe-.
