From lessons in the New Testa- ment, we turn in the second quar- ter of the year back to the Book of Genesis, with its story of beginnings.
 Has Genesis something to teach us in this modern world. where science has discovered Q great deal concerning the process of creation that ancient writers never knew?
 We cannot hope that Genesis will offer us a textbook of science, but 1t may be that 1t will have g great deal to teach us concerning the spiritual nature of man and his world, the sanctity of life, the re- sponsibility of brotherhood, the na- ture of sin and its wages, and the vision and need of mercy.
 We shall discover in the course

o. Why are the crucifixion and resurrection (Easter) of Jesus always celebrated by Christmas near or at the time of the observance of the Jewish Passover?
 A. Because these events in the life of our Lord took place at the time of the celebration of the Jew- isf Passover. See Mark 14:12-26. The Last Supper was observed in the evening of the ordinary Jewish Passover supper. "JosephuS de- scribes the feast as one of eight days" writes Dr. Alfred Edersheim. evidently reckoning its beginning on the 14th Nissan and its. close at the end of the 21st Nissan"
 Q. What is the date of the crnci- fixion of Jesus?
 A. In the article entitled, "Chro- nology of the New Testament in Hastings Dictionary of the Bible. the author sums up long argu- ment with the following dates as presenting "a consistent chronol- ogy of the Life of Christ" "The Nativity in B. 0. 7-6, the age of our Lord at the Baptism 30 years more or less; the Baptism in A.

A. A Catholic spokesman replies: This is a decree of Pope Plus X which went into effect on Easter Sunday, April 19, 1908, declaring that "only those marriages are valid which are contracted before the parish priest or the local ordinary, or a priest delegated by either of them, ad at least two witnesses" It is not the pastor or the Bishop of the parties whose presence is nec- essary for the validity of the mar riage, but the pastor or Bishop of the place in which the marriage takes place.
 Q. Who can release . Catholic priest from his VOW of chastity? A. No one.
 Q. Would it not be well for churches not only to advise their members to stay away from objec-' itOnable moving pictures but to patronize the pictures that ars excellent?
 A. Precisely this is being done by Protestant churches on wide scale. Attention is being turned from merely negative attitude to- ward a longer time program of edu- cation in motion picture apprecia- ton, organization Of better film councils in communities and cree ation of film estimate services to guide people in theater attendance.

stands today as Nation
wide memorial to Michael H. (Mike)
Sexton, who once arrested an entire
team and then went on to become
one OF the games greatest builders.
Sexton, honorary president Of the
National Association Of Professional
Base Ball Leagues, died yesterday OF
heart disease in his native Rock
Island, III. He was 70 years old. For
nearly 40 years he had been active
in base ball, which he loved as a
fan and for which he fought doggedly
as a pioneer leader.
Arrests Entire Club.
LIS only venture in public Office, in
1898. forced on him the unpleas-
ant task Of arresting the entire
Joliet, H., base ball club for playing
Sunday ball. Sexton, police chief Of
Rock Island, marched the players to
court, where the case was dismissed
on a promise to abide by the Sunday
law.
A few years later Sexton, believing
that the little fellows" should organ
ize to protect their rights, pioneered
the move which resulted in formation
Of the National Minor League Asso-
citation on September S, 1901. He be-
came a member of the Board of Arbi-
tration. Previously war" between
the newly formed American and the
established National League had re-
suited in minor league stars jumping
their contracts for lucrative major
league offers.
When the major leagues came to
peace, Sexton and the association in
sisted on recognition and secured a
national agreement still in effect Sex
ton served as president of the minor
league organization from 1908 to 1888.
when he was retired on pension. At
various times he was president of the
Rock Island club, the Three-Eye
League, the Western League and the
Mississippi Valley unit.
Misses Lone Convention.
CEXTON missed only one National
Association Convention in 26 years
and served l9 years as president with
out pay. He lived to see minor league
base ball enjoy one of its greatest
seasons in 1896. when 26 organizations
finished their schedules.
Surviving are the widow, two sons,
Morgan H. of Rock Island and Ken
meth M. OF Elyria, Ohio; a brother,
William, and a sister. Miss Josephine.
Funeral services will be conducted
