Question: do the Jesuits
have an order for women In
the same way as the Francis
cans and the Dominicans9"
Answer: No, the Society OF
Jesus has never established any
orders for women. There Is an
order Of Sisters in England who
sometimes have been calle d
"Jesuitesses." Actually, they
have no connection with the
Jesuits. They are officially
known as the Institute Of Mary
and they constitute the first
unencloSed religious order of
women in the Roman Catholic
Church in England. They were
founded by Mary Ward In 1909
and then established in Lon
don in 1889.
The Sisters Of the Institute
Of Mary take only the simple
VOWS and they are not clois-
tered. Today they have more
than 5000 members distributed
over the British Isles and in
Ireland.

OF Jesus Christ. ! assume the
one In Acts to be about AID. As"
Answer: The Easter" men,
toned in Acts 1874 actually
had no relation to the celebra-
ton Of the Resurrection. II re-
fers definitely to the observ-
ance Of the Jewish Passover
and the Greek word employed
is "Pesach." The King James
Version translated this as Eas-
ter, but other translations use
the word Passover.
Our English word Easter
comes directly from the Anglo
Saxon castro, which m an t
spring. This. in turn, has q re-
lation to an Old Morse word
"austr." which meant dawn. OF
course, the word Easter has the
same origin.
It Is believed by most schol-
ars that Easter is the oldest Of
the distinctly Christian festi-
walls. Polycsrp. the great Chris
tian leader Of Asia Minor In
the I'd Century, mentions it.
Also, the early church fathers
referred to the observance Of
the Resurrection in Rome at
an early date. Certainly its OBJ
servance is considerably older
than that Of Christmas. It is
significant that three-fourths
Of the Christian year depends
upon Easter and only one
fourth upon Christmas.
Question: where did the
United States Supreme Court
get its authority for banning
prayer in public school class
rooms in its decision handed
DOWN IN June?
Answer: The decision was
made based upon the first
amendment to the Constitu-
ton, adopted In 1871, which
includes these words Congress
shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise
thereof"
To all serious students of re-
igion this decision Of the Su-
preme Court came as a dis
tinct shock. To permit persons
to pray in public certainly does
not constitute IAN establish
ment Of religion" The found
ing fathers Of our nationl
thought Of an establishment"
Of religion as being the impos-
ing Of one particular church
as the official State church.
The public schools. Of course.
were established, originally to
teach the Bible and the moral
principles Of the Judeo- Chris
tan religion. Apparently, the
Supreme Court overlooked the
second clause in the quotation
above-"or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof" The decision
