James Stewart, 51. who won his B.D. at Yale Divinity School, Bishop Smith is only a target of opportunity in a larger campaign against what he calls a widespread practice in the Methodist Church, i.e., local ministers being expected to chip in with presents for the bishop from time to time.

Licensed Jester. By the time Low was ready for London in 1919, he had whittled the heavy chip on his provincial, radical, colonial shoulder into quite a weapon. He knew how to de-stuff shirts, e.g., he recalls that Austen Chamberlain, Britain's Foreign Secretary in the '20s, could not read very well through his celebrated monocle; that Stanley Baldwin, famed for his pipe-puffing, "probably smoked cigarettes in private...
