dominical

1 Read from this to the letter which begins the given month, always reading from A toward G, calling the dominical letter Sunday, the next Monday, etc.

2 Now what is true concerning the first four years of the era, is true concerning all the future years, and the reason for the divisions, additions and subtractions in finding the dominical letter is evident.

3 It is also evident that every additional day causes the dominical letter to go back one place.

4 B is also dominical letter, New Style; for we take the remainder after dividing by 7, from the same number.

5 In answer to the question, “Why two dominical letters for leap-year?” we reply, because of the additional or intercalary day after the 28th of February.

6 Solar Cycle.—In the Julian calendar the dominical letters are readily found by means of a short cycle, in which they recut in the same order without interruption.

7 Had G, the seventh letter been dominical letter for the year preceding the era, then these remainders would be taken from 7; and 7 would be used until change of style in 1582.

8 It will be remembered that in a leap year there are always two dominical letters, one of which is employed till the 29th of February, and the other till the end of the year.

9 Then 3 - 1 = 2; therefore, B being the second letter, is dominical letter for the year 1250, Old Style.

10 Then 8 - 6 = 2; therefore, B and C are dominical letters for 1892, C for January and February, and B for the rest of the year.

11 Also the dominical letters occur in the natural order of the letters in reckoning backward, but exactly the reverse in reckoning forward.

12 Let L denote the number of the dominical letter of any given year of the era.

13 On dividing by 28, the remainder is 0, or 28; and opposite 28, in the first column of letters, we find D, C, the dominical letters of the year 1148.

14 Annals, 49 uses the dominical letter, 49 mentions the lunar cycle, 49 quotes historical writers, 49 his home, 48.Tighearnmas,

15 But every fourth year is a leap year, and the effect of the intercalation is to throw the dominical letter one place farther back.

16 Because we are touching the body of dominical 24 hours.

因为,一天24小时,我们都在触摸基督的圣体.

17 It is a state of harmony, without tension and without disturbance, the dominical state of the soul, perhaps the state which awaits it beyond the grave.

18 Still, as we all go to the barber's once a week, on Sunday morning, it has hitherto been regarded as part of our dominical duties.

19 This rule gives the dominical letter for January and February only, in leap-year, while the letter that precedes it, is the letter for the rest of the year.

20 Then 6 - 2 = 4; therefore, D and E are the dominical letters for 1620; E for January and February, and D for the rest of the year.
