Homer Martin, slim, bespectacled head of the United Automobile Workers, is a preacher by training, and after he won the national hop, step & jump championship at 22 he was invariably called the "Leaping Parson." From the Leeds Baptist Church on the outskirts of Kansas City, where the deacons thought his labor gospel somewhat apocryphal, he leaped to a Chevrolet assembly line, then to leadership of a Kansas City local and finally in one tremendous leap to the front of C.I.O.'s noisiest, most turbulent union.

...compared with the Baptist and the Methodist churches, the Episcopal Church does not go in much for the sort of homely activity represented by religious plays or pageants. The typical Episcopal vestryman, often a banker or substantial businessman, would feel queer in the false beard and cheesecloth garment which a small-town Presbyterian may wear with pleasure. Doubly notable, therefore, was an Episcopal pageant put on last week in Philadelphia's big Convention Hall-biggest show ever performed by U. S. Episcopalians, and designed to quicken Episcopal interest in missions. It was called The Drama of Missions to Spread...
