Last week in Our Lady of Lebanon Church in Brooklyn, N. Y. Catholic worshippers heard Mass sung in Old Syriac or Aramaic, the language Christ supposedly spoke, by a bearded prelate who looked more Jewish than Catholic. He was Most Rev. Cyril George Dallal. 60, Archbishop of Mosul, head of the Syrian Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, shepherd of 90,000 Christians who live among the 1,000,000 Mohammedans of Iraq.

Once hailed by Annie Besant as a "World Teacher" who had in him the same "Christ Force" as did Jesus, Krishnamurti has renounced Theosophy and in fact all systems, dogmas, labels, ties, organizations.

Three Milleniums. Every few centuries since long before Christ, history has repeated itself in China. A warlike people, coming usually from the north, covets the vast fertile plains lying north and south of the peninsula of Shantung (see map, p. 18). Advancing step by step in a few years or a few generations, they seize the ground they covet. Such was evidently the modest plan of the Japanese who know their history when, advancing from Manchukuo, they set out in July to take possession of the northern part of Hopei Province. Their plans for an inexpensive...
...University property but visited by most students are the Post Office in Brattle Square, Brattle Hall--auditorium next to the Post office, the CRIMSON, Lampoon, and Advocate on Plympton Street--undergraduates publications, and somewhere North and West out Garden Street was Christ Church, the commander and Continental Hotels, and Radcliffe--women's university...
