When Does Daylight Time Begin

and End?

Currently, daylight time begins in the United States on the first Sunday in April andends on the last Sunday in October. On the first Sunday in April, clocks are set aheadone hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylighttime. On the last Sunday in October, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. localdaylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time. These dates wererecently modified with the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Pub. L. no. 109-58, 119 Stat 594 (2005). Starting in March 2007, daylight time in the United Stateswill begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November.

Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Arizona, Hawaii, andmost of Indiana do not use it.

In 2005, daylight time begins on April 3 and ends on October 30. In 2006, daylight time begins on April 2 and ends on October 29. In 2007, daylight time begins on March 11 and ends on November 4. [New law

goes into effect.]

Many other countries observe some form of "summer time", but they do notnecessarily change their clocks on the same dates as the U.S.Daylight time and time zones in the U.S. are defined in the U.S. Code, Title 15,Chapter 6, Subchapter IX - Standard Time.

History of Daylight Time in the U.S.

Although standard time in time zones was instituted in the U.S. and Canada by therailroads in 1883, it was not established in U.S. law until the Act of March 19, 1918,sometimes called the Standard Time Act. The act also established daylight savingtime, a contentious idea then. Daylight saving time was repealed in 1919, butstandard time in time zones remained in law. Daylight time became a local matter. Itwas re-established nationally early in World War II, and was continuously observedfrom 9 February 1942 to 20 September 1945. After the war its use varied amongstates and localities. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 provided standardization in thedates of beginning and end of daylight time in the U.S. but allowed for local

exemptions from its observance. The act provided that daylight time begin on thelast Sunday in April and end on the last Sunday in October, with the changeover tooccur at 2 a.m. local time.During the "energy crisis" years, Congress enacted earlier starting dates for daylighttime. In 1974, daylight time began on 6 January and in 1975 it began on 23 February.After those two years the starting date reverted back to the last Sunday in April. In1986, a law was passed permanently shifting the starting date of daylight time to thefirst Sunday in April, beginning in 1987. The ending date of daylight time has not

been subject to such changes, and has remained the last Sunday in October. With theEnergy Policy Act of 2005, the starting and ending dates have once again beenshifted. Beginning in 2007, daylight time will start on the second Sunday in Marchand end on the first Sunday in November.

When the U.S. went on extended DST in 1974 and 1975 in response to the 1973 energy

crisis, Department of Transportation studies found that observing DST in March andApril saved 10,000 barrels of oil a day, and prevented about 2,000 traffic injuries and 50fatalities saving about U.S. $28 million in traffic costs. (Stats from this article).

IndianaDST is a long-standing controversy in Indiana, not only as an agricultural state, but alsobecause the border separating the Eastern and Centraltime zonesdivides the state. In thepast, neighboring communities sometimes ended up one or even two hours apart. Beingout-of-sync with neighboring states and the national changing of clocks, it is argued, hasa negative economic impact on the state. It has been demonstrated that some businesseshave located out of state due to the time-related confusion. Prior to October 30, 2005, the

state has three kinds of time zones: 77 counties, most of the state, are onEastern Standard Time but do notuse DST;

5 counties nearChicago, Illinois and 5 counties in the southwestern corner of the

state are on CentralStandard Time and do use DST; and

2 counties nearCincinnati, Ohio and 3 counties nearLouisville, Kentucky are on

Eastern Standard time but do observe DST. Their observance of DST is unofficialin this case, as a strict reading of the Uniform Time Act would not allow for thissituation, but by observing DST, they remain synchronized with the greaterLouisville and Cincinnati metropolitan areas.

On April 29, 2005, the Indiana legislature voted to begin observing daylight-saving timein 2006. Currently, most of the state is in the Eastern time zone; however, its time zone iscurrently under federal review, as discussed in this article. There was further controversyafter this passed, as some people that supported it initially had thought that the timewould fall back an extra hour in winter instead of going ahead an extra hour in summer.Begining October 30, 2005, the state will have two time zones:82 counties, most of the state, are onEastern Standard Time and do use DST.5 counties nearChicago, Illinois and 5 counties in the southwestern corner of the state areon CentralStandard Time and do use DST.

Arizona

Arizona does not generally observe DST, unlike most other states. However, the

largeNavajo Indian Reservation does.

Hawaii

Hawaii does not observe DST.

Its time to run the clock backWe need to believe in things such as.

Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask forthe old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest

for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Pentecostals of Alexandria. These people know how to praise the Lord the old-fashionedway. (website)

There are people know how to praise the Lord the old-fashioned way. Thevolume is loud, the atmosphere is electric, and everyone is excited. The organistand a drummer pump the audience with an infectious beat.

People in the crowd stand and shout as they sing "Send It on Down."Later in the service, the preacher preaches an emotion-packed message on hisfavorite topic, the baptism in the Holy Spirit. People jam the altar after thesermon. They kneel, some weeping, while scores others gather around and layhands on those who want a touch from God.

Because of the upbeat praise, the hand clapping, the shouting, the fierypreaching and the ever-present practice of speaking in tongues, a casualobserver might assume these people are typical Pentecostals.

2 Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the workof an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

The word evangelistcomes from theKoine Greekword ("eu-angelos"), meaning bringer of good news.Proof - referring to the testing process for determining the integrityA ministry is any or all activity conducted by members of various faiths.
