...Pierpont Morgan, a godly man as well as a wealthy one, offered to bear the expense of issuing a new Standard Book of Common Prayer, to be presented to the 49th Episcopal convention, next October, in Washington, D. C. The revised prayer manual will omit the word obey from the marriage ceremony and it will contain a shortened form of the ten commandments. In other respects, except for perfection of minute typographical failures as far as is now known, it will conform to the revised Episcopal prayer manual which Mr. Morgan's father paid for in 1892, and which...
...Council of the League of Nations sat-for the 49th time-at Geneva, last week. Seldom have Great Powers been more thoroughly flouted by Minor Nations than during the proceedings which ensued. The Powers were represented, of course, by the Big Five: 1) Sir Austen Chamberlain (Britain), supercilious to correspondents but ready with a queer, cackling laugh for his colleagues; 2) Monsieur Aristide Briand (France), tousled and heavy eyed as a tomcat at dawn; 3) Dr. Gustav Stresemann (Germany), plump, bald, rubicund, and yet with a trig, indefinable air of smartness; 4)Signor Vittorio Scialoja (Italy), representing with compact, bustling...
...Army, Navy or "Volunteer Regulars" in 1899 or some time before July, 1902, when the Philippine Insurrection was finally and officially finished. All men you saw with bands on their hats showing service in any infantry regiment from the 26th to 49th (U. S. Vol. Infantry) or 11th Vol. Cavalry were of the 25 Vol. regiments called for in 1899, a year after the Battle of Manila Bay, to relieve the volunteers from the state organizations then serving in the Philippine Insurrection. They were enlisted for two years and served this in the Islands. The regular army and marines were...
...Japanese question, plus the general situation of the rule of the few by the many that has prevented Hawaiians from realizing their dream of becoming the 49th state. Governor Farrington has been accused of insincerity in telling schoolchildren that statehood can be best achieved by their growing up as "good American citizens." To this charge, however, the Governor replies that "the very fact that statehood is absolutely out of the question at the present time is so much more reason why we should aspire to it the harder." As for the race question, the Governor has said: "There is less...
...this scolding Bishop Manning based upon hasty, sensationalized newspaper accounts of two addresses by clerics. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of the Park Avenue Baptist Church, Manhattan, last week made one of these addresses to students at the 49th commencement of Smith College at Northampton, Mass. Rector Henry Lewis of St. Andrew's Church, Ann Arbor, Mich, (site of the University of Michigan) made the other before the Protestant Episcopal Church Congress at San Francisco a fortnight ago. Each man made earnest plea for the revaluing of moral (ethical) standards, and in each case newspapers "played up" their comments...
