...succeed Cosmo Gordon Lang as Archbishop of York when on Nov. 12 (if Parliament approves) York becomes Archbishop of Canterbury, King George V as head of the Church of England last week nominated none of the prelates whom most of his subjects expected.

...father was one of the moderators of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland. † The son preferred the more hierarchal Church of England for his career. Studies at Balliol College, Oxford (after a period at Glasgow University) had something to do with his decision. By 1901 he had become Bishop of Stepney and Canon of St. Paul's, London, and used to work with the grubby, grimy poor. In 1907, Edward VII offered him the Bishopric of Montreal. He refused.

The speech-making pictured Nominee Smith as a diabolical visitation upon the Democracy, of which it must and would be purged. The Anti-Smith Democrats promised to swing North Carolina and Florida out of the Solid South for Nominee Hoover. They predicted...
Almost the antithesis and often the bland antagonist of Bishop Cannon is Bishop Warren Akin Candler of Atlanta, an M-E of the old school, a believer in the status quo, in worship before works, in conservatism. Bishop Candler is, of course, a Dry. His brother, the late Asa Griggs Candler, made a fortune giving the South a substitute for mint juleps and white mule. The substitute was "Coca Cola" and a far greater power for temperance it was -if you should ask Bishop Candler-than ten thousand sermons or revivals.
