Happy and hopeful was Rt. Rev. George Kennedy Allen Bell, personable Lord Bishop of ancient Chichester, England, four years ago, when he composed the foregoing verses to raise money in his Anglican diocese. Unhappy and hard-pressed was the same noble Lord Spiritual last week when he learned that one of his clergy, a 70-year-old-curate from Camelsdale, near Haslemere, named Rev. William Henry Boyne Bunting, had turned on the gas, died in his barren bedroom along with his wife Hilda, 56. Curate Bunting left a note declaring that his son James was in possession of most...

A single-minded and uncompromising pacifist, Lansbury yielded what crumbs remained...
Scholar Lamsa, who as an Assyrian belongs to what he calls "the only pure Semitic people in the Christian fold," went to an Anglican mission college in Persia, later to Virginia Theological Seminary. Recent years in the U. S. George Lamsa has devoted to trying to prove that Christ spoke not Hebrew but Aramaic. In that tongue, used today by only a few tribesmen in the Lebanon Mountains, Lamsa believes the Gospels were originally written before they were translated successively into Semitic-sounding Greek and Latin. Two years ago Dr. Lamsa translated the four Gospels into English from early Aramaic...
