...mainstay of what was regarded as a rabid sect. Among these were Eleazar Dexter and his younger brother John who, though saints of a kind, still thought enough of the devil to fall in love. Both loved the same girl, but in different ways. Eleazar was a religious bigot who loved Anne in order to save her soul, John a happy farmer who loved the earth and all its foison. Anne chose John, sending away Eleazar half mad with sanctity and lust. The brothers' contradictory natures clash throughout the story, symbolize for Authoress Carlisle contrary traits in Pilgrim Father psychology...

Not to be literally translated, "Pighead"' is the name -aristocratic in Finland-of President Svinhufvud, meaning "Boar's Head" (the device on the Svinhufvud family crest).

God's in His heaven, and all will never be right with politics anyhow. I'll wager that the nun was sorry one hour after she sent you her letter, when she knelt down to make her meditation...
...Fellowship Forum devoted eight out of its ten pages to violent, blatant and inaccurate attacks on Al Smith, the Pope and rum -by story, headline, editorial, cartoon and readers' forum. The doings and speeches of Mrs. Willebrandt, Rev. John Roach Straton, Senator Heflin and many a minor bigot were faithfully reported. The technique in handling campaign trends was to ballyhoo a Hoover landslide: for example, "Smith to be Most Badly Defeated Candidate Ever Running for Presidency." Then there was standard stuff: "Drunk Negro Boosting Smith," "Kissing Pope's Ring Insult to Flag," "Tirades on Religion and Liquor...
