OUR RELIGIONS
OHqin of the Date of Easter
BY DIR. CARLYLE ADAMS

Queston-"f Jesus Christ was crucified on a
certain date which always comes on Friday why
does the date vary so much. Should it not come on
the day every year just Christmas day does?
Please tell me by whom the Easter and Good Friday
dates are set. Is it religious organizations"
Answer-Easter is the oldest of the Christian feS-

Is strictly English. Its Greek
name is "Pascha," which re-
lates it to the Jewish Passover.
The first official action for
fixing the date of Easter was
that of the first council of Nj
cea 1925 ADD. In Western ira
dition the date of Easter has
been fixed at the first Sunday
after the first full moon fol-
lowing the spring equinox.
However, the Eastern churches
have added that Easter must
come after the completion of
the Jewish Passover.
The reason for the diver
gence of dates is the fact that
the Jewish calendar is a lunar
moon) calendar in which the
Passover occurs on the 14th
day of the month Of Nisan.
This date, however, does not
correspond with the Gregorian
calendar used by most Of the
world. Dates in the Jewish cal
endar vary according to the
moon from year to year.
Whereas a large part Of the
Christian world this year cele-
brated Easter on April 2 the
Eastern Orthodox Churches
are celebrating on Sunday,
April 8. This is because Of the
Jewish Passover which began
at Sundown March 81.
Question In Matthew
xii,3-32, Jesus says that BIAS
phemy against the Holy Ghost
will never be forgiven either in
this world or the world to come.
Gould you explain just what
the Holy Ghost is and what
blasphemy against the Holy
Ghost is?"
Answer - In the Christian
faith the Holy Ghost and
(more correctly translated)
Holy Spirit is the Third Person
Of the Holy Trinity. However,
the idea of God as Spirit is
as old as the faith Of Judaism.
In Genesis, i,2 we read Of the
Spirit Of God brooding upon
the face of the waters. Simply
put, the Holy Spirit is the ac-
tual experience Of God in hu-
man life and the life Of the
church.
In Matthew, xii,31, and also
Mark, lille, there is the asser-
tion that blasphemy against
the Holy Spirit is the sin which
is not forgiven.
1t simply means that a per-
son who does not seek the par
don of Gods grace will not be
pardoned. The forgiveness of
sins is offered to persons who
confess their sins and ask for
giveness. He who "blasphemes
against the Holy Spirit" simply
does not recognize the source
of forgiveness and does not re-
quest forgiveness.
If a person is worried as to
whether he has committed the
objectionable sin, his very con-
Germ is q good evidence that
he has not committed such a
sin or else he would not even
be worried about it. \
QuestiOn-"Can you tell me
where the word limbo comes
from? Who originated it and
what is 1t supposed to repre-
sent2 I cannot find 1t in the
Bible any place"
: Answer - You will not find
the word limbo in the Bible.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) =
George l. in coin Rockwell,
commander of the American
Nazi Party ended a 14-month
legal battle, by paying a $1OO
fine for disorderly conduct
at two anti-Semitic rallies in
Washington last summer.
After paying the fine, the
Nazis, led by R ockw el l,
staged an anti-Semitic rally
in Judiciary Square here,
Just outside e the Federal
Court building.
On August 80, 1860, NUM-

in two cases. She levied con-
current sentences of 500 or
80 days in Jail. Rockwell ap-
pealed, but the sentence was
upheld by the M u n ip a l

Tennessee Conservative

Representative B. Carroll Reece of
Tennessee, dead at II, was a quietly
powerful spokesman Of the Republican
right wing. In that role, without fam
boyance or belligerence, his public serv-
ice was Of high order-to party, State
and Nation-in accord with his own sin
cere convictions. Only once since 1920 did
his Tennessee district turn to another
candidate for representation in the
House, and then only for the 1902 term.
In 1946, he resigned long enough to serve
as Republican National Chairman and
to lead the party to one of its few con-
gressional victories in modern times.
Educated as lawyer and economist, he
applied these qualifications to his chosen
profession Of politics. Although his
position as staunch conservative has
been minority position through much
of this era, it is noteworthy that liberal
Tennessee colleague, Senator Kefauver,
applied no reservation to his eulogy that
Mr.. Reece was "a man Of fine character
and devotion to his country"

But, the most daring bit Of
Soviet balderdash came when

Planning in Paradise

AS befits the youngest member Of
the family Of States, Hawaii is making
plans for its future betterment. And
it is doing so in way that sounds
practical and realistic-with the advice
OF qualified counsel and through long
term program involving many lines of
action.
Possessed Of many valuable natural
resources, starting with climate and
the fertility Of much of its land area,
the island State contemplateS a 20
year program Of land and economic
development to cost an estimated
$7O3 million. Holding high priority in
the planning is the problem of trans
port, not only on and between the
islands themselves (only eight among
twenty are now classified as inhabited)
but between the island group and the
West Coast mainland of the United
States. Highways, airports and harbors
figure largely in this study, but for
inter-island purposes a private con-
sultant agency has been engaged to
examine expanded passenger and freight
services by sea and air. Wisely, too, the
planners are not overlooking the human
needs in the light Of estimates that the
States population by 1880 will have in
creased from its present 100000 to about
twice that total. In this social cate
CORY, the State Department of Planning
lists the requirements Of more schools
of all types, libraries, public health
centerS and hospitals.
It is not without reason that Hawaii
calls itself "the Paradise of the Pacific"
Its potential is as great as It's attractive
ness, and 1t is to the credit Of its State
government that plans are being made
to make the bright futuresa reality.

Meriwether's Case

Some OF the severe criti-
cism regarding President
Kenned dy's appointments
seems unjust. The selection
Of Alabama's Charles Meri-
wether may be questionable
because Of his background.
However, I am certain the
President feels that's ancient
history and that Meriwether
is well qualified and COM
petent to do a good job for us.
j. F. K. has made quite q
few appointments since his
election. Generally speaking,
they are all well accepted.
Expecting 100 per cent ap-
proval on each presidential
appointment would be the
same as asking Joe DiMaggio
or Willie Mays to get q hit
every time they 60 to bat.
Another serious political
consideration not to be over
looked Is the fact that Ala
bama's Governor Patterson
was one Of President Kenne-
dy's early supporters, and
Merfwether Is his man.

Shakes Things Up

Joe Young's column reports
that John Macy, new chair
man Of the Civil Service
Commission, aims to bring
in people from private indus
try In middle and upper
grades. To be certain that
he knows what he is doing
he should start that at the
Civil Service Commission
first. He shouldn't propose
for other agencies what he
is unwilling to do in his own.
1t so happens that recently
there have been comments by
President Kennedy and 9TH
ers that the Federal service
is Just full Of dedicated, COM
petent people. Then along
comes Mr.. Macy and says we
need an influx from else-
where in the middle and up
per grades-which is as much
as to say that not only are
we short of brains in the
middle and upper levels, but
that people in the ranks are
not good enough for promo
ton. He might be right. but
he should be willing to start
his program at the Civil
Service Commission which he
heads. Norman Morris

Maryland Matter

The executor measure
currently under consideration
by the Maryland General
Assembly appears to estab-
lish a splendid precedent for
future similar Maryland Leg
islative programs. This mea-
sure, If passed, would bar
District Of Columbia banks
and trust companies from
serving as executors and
administrators Of the estates
Of Maryland citizens. The
possible future legislative ex-
tensions might include laws
Stipulating that Maryland
citizens dental problems may
be remedied only by Mary
land dentists, tnat Maryland
citizens may purchase ap-
pliances only in Maryland
appliance stores, etc.
The distinction between
these possible future legisla-
tive programs and the pres
ent one appears to be only q
matter Of enforcement and
not one Of principle. Devel-
oping a remedy for this type
Of situation by legislative
means. rather than by private
competitive endeavor, ap-
pears to be q systematic trend
which has implications ex-
tenGing far beyond the con-
fines Of this immediate pro-
blem area.

The Rails Speak Out

The Nations railroad industry Is
not crying wolf in its appeal to Congress,
and more baSically to public opinion, for
help in treating its economic ailments.
There is plentiful evidence that the
ailments exist, and that they have been
getting steadily worse in recent years.
The Association of American Railroads
estimates, for example, that the profit
rate Of the carriers in 1859 was at the
bottom Of list of 70 major industrial
groups, that net income in 1860 was the
lowest since 1949 and that 81 out of lO6
Class I roads operated in the red last
year. Employment of 100000 on the
carriers themselves was down 43 per
cent from 1946, and the job loss on the
roads and in the industries supplying
the rails has been increasingly heavy in
the past two or three years. Unused
capacity Is calculated as high as rs per
cent by some sources, a figure that rep
reSentS staggering waste Of costly
facilities.
In this period of declining fortunes,
and declining share percentagewise of
both freight and passenger hauling, the
rails have made efforts to help them
selves. In is postwar years, expendi-
lures Of private capital for moderniza-
ton Of equipment and facilities have
totaled about SIS billion. Currently,
railroad managementS are turning to
merger possibilities as holding greatest
promise Of improved service and operat-
ing economies, but all Of these call for
the time-consuming examination and
approval by governmental authorities.
For the first time in years, there is hope
that presidential commission will find
a solution acceptable both to manage
ment and labor on the long-Standing
work rules controversy.
At this point, the rails are declaring
war against what they consider the
greatest obstruction to their welI-being
discrimination in favor Of competing
services (air, highway and water) at all
levels Of government. Their battle-cry
is demand for "four freedoms
discriminatory regulation, discrimina-
tory taxation, subsidized competition
and restrictions against providing a
diversified transportation service. In
place Of these disadvantages, they ask
equality Of treatment" with the ex-
ample to be set in the first instance by
the Federal Government. Actually,
most Of what they ask has been recon-
mended in numerous studies" by
governmental and private bodies over
long period Of years.
Basically, the developing plight of
the rails has not lacked attention; it has
lacked action. There is no assurance
that the result will be different now,
unless government (at all levels) faces
up to the fact that eventual deteriora-
ton Of the railroad system could be
damaging to the national economy in
peacetime and disastrous to the Nation
in wartime.

Miqht Taste Gumey

There is q Marie Antoinette
flavor to that news story
from the Virginia horse-and-
hunt country about the ra-
bies epidemic among the
foxes, and the fact that @
bounty is paid for gray foxes
but none for red foxes, al
though both are affected by
the epidemic. 1t seems the
red foxes are hunted by the
hunt clubs, and that certain
county officials are perhaps
beholden to the hunt clubs.
Meanwhile nine members Of
the general public have been
bitten by rabid foxes Of
whatever color and are tax
ing the long and painful
Pasteur treatment for rabies.
A possible solution might be

ten by q rabid fox to 90
forthwith and bite one mem
Der Of a hunt club. (Only if
bitten by q red fox Of

Man and God IN Warsaw

Once again, with characteristic
eloquence and courage, Cardinal Wys-
zynSh OF PolSnd has spoken out against
the communist regimes effort to athe-
ize" his countrymen, the overwhelming
majority Of whom are Roman Catholics.
Back in 1883, after having similarly
resisted incessant Red attacks on
Catholicism among the Poles, Cardinal
Wyszynsh was imprisoned by Warsaw's
StaliniSt dictatorship. In 1856, however,
he was liberated as result of the great
revolt against that Moscow imposed
tyranny. The revolt, which came close
to exploding into armed violence
against the Soviet Union (as In
Hungary, brought Wladyslaw Gomulka
to power as head Of a new "anti-
StaliniSt" regime, and this regime
promptly negotiated a state-church
accord promising to put an end to past
repressive measures against faith in
God and to remove all barriers to the
realization of the principles Of full
freedom Of religious life"
But within the past year or so, with
mounting intensity, the Reds of Warsaw
have been carrying out a campaign to
poison the minds Of the Polish people
not only against the Vatican and the
church in general, but also against the
very idea Of believing in God Denying
all this, Mr.. Gomulka has accused
Cardinal WySzynsh of seeking to pro-
woke the persecution and martyrdom"
ofyCatholicS in Poland solely and simply
to night against communism and its
programs -totalitarian programs that
regiment the mass, and make the indi-
yidual creature Of the state, in order
to promote material progress, so called
AS to that, ahlrming that mans spirit
is "eternally In rebellion against slavery
and falsehood," the Cardinal has had
this to say:
Man Is not made Just to be a consumer
animal. Man is called to something higher
The world assigns programs to men: Eat
ana shut up" And Christ says to the world:
tell you man does not live by bread alone"
1t Is only necessary to ask what serves It..
man better? Whether he lcks their boots
1.-THE rulers'] like serf renouncing his free
DOM his reason, his will; or whether he stands
upright with his head high, courageousIy
processing truth, defending his human
dignity?
Cardinal Wyszynsk has no doubt
about the human souls ultimate destiny.
Speaking from his pulpit in Warsaw to
the Communist rulers, he has declared:
i tell you, you Caesars, you will bow to
your God, and you will serve only him.
Satan is mighty, but man will not bow
his head before him. . I tell you, you
VIII serve only your God, because man is
too noble to serve anyone but God"
Metaphysically and otherwise, this
Is perhaps a too hopeful view of the
future, but free men everywhere have
reason to applaud and embrace it.

II the judges haven't got

they were intended, to serve

not to make the people the

about constitutional safe

don't know that our Consti-
tuition and laws never in

to run at large.
1t Is interesting to note
that newspaper reports and
comments right after Will
liams' latest crime dealt
mainly with the laws he had
broken and theories and legal
rulings about what can be
done about such criminals.
Virtually nothing about the
life, career, hopes, aspira-

nothing about the pitiful
hopes Of society at large for
