...dozen years ago Uldine Utley was a Baptist who rose to fame as a protegee of Manhattan's late Dr. John Roach Straton. Six years ago she turned Methodist. Not above displaying her attractions in a bathing suit (see cut), she has since been called by irreverent newshawks "the Garbo of the Pulpit." Heretofore a licensed Methodist preacher, she is now a deaconess with full right to the title Reverend...

John D. Rockefeller Sr. set his son an example by giving Northern and Southern Baptist causes between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000 during his active life. His giving spread over a wider front, the younger Rockefeller confers with his advisers over each benefaction, which may be one in which he has a special interest, or one put before him by friends, or one which competes for his attention on its own. To his church John D. Jr. has been no less generous than his father. A list of Rockefeller donations compiled confidentially for its clients a few years...
