OUR RELIGIONS

For Christians Of East and
West the first week Of the new
calendar year is crowded with
religious significance. Many
devout people-both Christians
and Jews-ended the year with
prayers of thanksgiving. jan
uary / in the Christian Calen-
dar is the Feast Of the Circum-
cision Of Jesus. The Greek
Orthodox Church also recog-
nizes the day as the Feast OF
st. Basil the Great, the regu-
lator Of the monastic life and
the founder Of the beautiful
liturgy which is used 10 times
a year in the Eastern Church.
Climax Of the week will be
the Feast Of the Epiphany on
January 9Th. commemorating
the baptism Of Jesus. the visit
of the Magi to Bethlehem and
the first miracle at Cana OF
Galilee.
Question: "Was Gods name
'YAHWEH' in the beginning?
Was Jesus called Yeshuah? ]
am taught II I use the name
Jesus, Lord of God. I am using
pagan or Baal names"
Answer: In ancient Israel
the personal name Of the deity
was written in Hebrew in let
ters equivalent to "YHVH."
There are no vowels In Hebrew.
But for many centuries this
name was not pronounced. IL
was considered too sacred. II
has been variously translated
as Yahweh. Javeh or Jehovah,
When the word appeared in
the Scriptures the devout Jew
read II as Adonai-"the Lord"
IL so happens that tne Woru
Baal also means Lord" But
in Judeo- Christians literature
the word Lord" comes either
from the Hebrew "Adonai" OF
the Greek "Kurios" which also
Is regarded as a translation Of
Yehweh.
The Old Testament also list
other names for divinity. Ir
fact, the word God" is trans
lated from the Hebrew "El" OF
"Elohim."
The Hebrew name for Jesui
probably was Yeshuah. Tit
English name Jesus" is derived
both from Latin and Greek.

which there is no forgiveness:
this great objectionable sin is
the murder of the love-life in a
human being.
"I would like to know If there
is any such reference to this
matter in the Bible"
Answer: There is indeed a
reference to an objectionable
sin in the New Testament.
However, I do not see any justi-
fication for Ibsen's contention
that 1t has anything at all to
do with the "love-life."
The sin which is regarded as
objectionable is mentioned in
Matthew 1881. Mark 1929 and
Luke 1910. 1t is called the
"sin against the Holy Spirit"
In general Christian teolog-
ians have regarded this as the
sin Of complete rejection either
of the fact Of God or the grace
and forgiveness Of God. How
can one be pardoned II he de-
nies the very source Of the par
don?
Question: where can I find
more Of the history Of Pontius
PLATE and and his wife. beyond
the reference in the New Testa-
ment?"
Answer: There is very little
factual history Of Pontius Pi-
late. Historians generally ac-
cept the fact that he was, as
indicated in the New Testa-
ment, the procurator OF the
Roman government in Pales-
tine at the time Of Jesus. There
is no doubt about his involve
ment in the trial Of Jesus. Be-
yond these facts we know very
little.

HoIf-o-Step Forward

Thanks to couple Of related cir
cumstances, that once-powerful bulwark
Of rural domination in Maryland primary
elections-the unit rule-is half dead.
Called to the floor of the House OF Dele
gates, an administration backed bill TO
abolish the rule breezed through by the
overwhelming vote OF l22-to-9.
II seems incredible that, after so
many years Of fruitleSs effort, this one
should succeed so easily. The reasons,
however, are readily at hand. The tenn
porary reapportionment Of the State
Legislature already has greatly diluted
the effectiveness of the unit rule, under
which each county was entitled to the
same number OF electoral votes in party
nominations as the number Of seats II
held In the General Assembly. More
over, a similar rule in Georgia has been
declared unconstitutional by a three
Judge Federal court, and is before the
Supreme Court for final decision.
Now that the Maryland House has
acted, the expectation is that the Sem
ate will quickly follow suit. We hope So

For q Better Service

In his executive order on Federal
pay procedures, the President has pro-
mulgated number of interesting and
significant new policies which are in
tended largely to provide more firm
basis for future pay legislation. Congress
and the administration mot to men
ton the public at large) share the hope
that eventually these reforms will lead
10 a reasonable compatibility between
Federal wages and those which are paid
for similar work in private industry. An
equally meritorious goal, moreover, is to
relate pay more directly throughout the
Government TO performance on the Job.
The Civil Service Commission, In
regard TO the latter, is hardly likely to
invoke It's new authority TO take over
job b-classification duties from any
agency except on finding Of the most
fragrant abuse. The mere authority TO
do so, however, is strong warning to
the various agencies TO watch their Job
classifications more closely and this is
all TO the good. The same may be said
OF that portion Of the order requiring
a closer scrutiny over the regular "in-
step" pay raises. At the other end Of
the scale, It is well that the administra-
tion will have a greater flexibility in
rewarding unusual worth, through the
pay envelope, and in authorizing above
the-grade" salaries for jobs where re-
cruitment is a serious problem.

authority over the general levels Of Fed

The Most Urqent Task

The very wide range and the ex-
ceedingly rosy hopes wrapped up in the
administrations tax relief and reform
program are summed up in one express
Sively oversimplified paragraph near
the end Of President KennedyS lengthy
message to the Congress. 1t follows:
Special tax problems Of small business,
the aged working mothers and low-income
groups are effectively met. Special prefer
ences-for capital gains, natural resources
excessive deductions and other areas outside
the tax base-are curbed Both the mobility
and the formation Of capital are encouraged
The lower corporate tax rates will encourage
and stimulate business enterprise. The reduc-
ton of the top 81 per cent rate ION individual
incomel will assist investment and risk-tak-
ing Above all, by expanding both consumer
demand and investment, this program will
raise production and income, provide Jobs
for the unemployed and take up the slack
in our economy
Mr.. Kennedy'S program does indeed
cover all the points mentioned above,
and few more to boot. 1t is far and
away the most comprehensive and po-
tentially controversial blueprint for tax
law overhaul In modern times-nore so
in completely and in estimated impact
on revenues than the 1854 relief and
reforms under the Eisenhower admins
tration. If writing 1t into law aSsuredly
would bring all the benefits Mr. Kennedy
SO confidently promises, Congress should
lose no time. But there are other points
of view, both economic and political, and
1t is certain that this most urgent task"
will be the issue of this years most pro-
longed congressional battle.
In several respects the President has
submitted program to please the great
est number of people-in the ranks Of
the low-income earners, the elderly,
those faced with catastrophe" medical
expenses, the parents without partners"
who have the burden of child care, and
the owners of small business" ventures.
1t is likely that giving relief in these
categories will appeal to Congress. Even
on some of his more controversial rec
concentrations as repeal Of pres
ent dividend credits and exclusions,
tighter rules for application of depletion
allowances, and new treatment of cap
ital gains-the President has pointed out
carefully that all end obligations will be
reduced by the proposed lower individual
and corporation income tax rates. He
has pointed out, too, that defeat of some
of these latter recommendations should
be matched by less reduction in the
income tax rates.
Mr.. Kennedy is taking a bold and
unorthodox step in this field of Gov
ernment management and national
planning. He acknowledges that the ini-
tial impact Of his tax program would be
a net loss in revenue and larger budget
deficits, for at least two or three years.
He has given only token attention to
restrictions on spending, and has dis
counted quite casually any danger Of
new inflationary spiral. His gamble is
that tax relief will generate enough
greater momentum in the economy to
offset potential dangers. Whether this
is a good gamble is now up to Congress.
