...Said Jesus Christ to the Pharisees: Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. -Matthew...
Testament into journalese. There the peppery, dogmatic rector of old Christ Church, 77-year-old Rev. Louis Cope Washburn, preached his retiring sermon last January with a bandage about his head, result of an encounter in which he bested a footpad with his umbrella. Episcopal Rev. Dr. David McConnell Steele believes that Lent is a bore (TIME, March 30, 1936), Rev. "Jack" Hart this summer founded the Episcopal Anti-Mothball Society (TIME, July 12), "Rev."

They are all in white with white headdresses and the bier is covered with delicate, almost transparent white linen. Rows of white crosses converge toward a hill crowned with a church set against a little pile of distant cumulus clouds. For a modern counterpart of this scene St. Nicholas parishioners can look on the other wall, opposite the Crucifixion. Under a black, apocalyptic sky, a young...
