...white stone Gothic fane. People in his Bible class, at wedding and funeral services he conducted, at Holy Communion in the Cathedral, eyed Very Rev. Israel Harding Noe with silent, respectful curiosity. They had read in Memphis newspapers that this dean of the Cathedral, once a florid and jovial churchman, had for a year taken no nourishment but orange juice. For a fortnight, to prove that "the soul is above the need of material life," he had, according to his friends, subsisted on sips of wine and tiny wafers from the communion services he conducted thrice weekly...

...Bishops this week was addressed an open letter which few of them would very likely ever see. It was signed by 150 U. S. Protestant churchmen and pedagogs, men of the calibre of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, John Dewey, Dr. Daniel Alfred Poling, Editor Guy Emery Shipler of the Churchman, Methodist Bishop James Chamberlain Baker of San Francisco, President William Allan Neilson of Smith College. Agitated as U. S. churchmen often are with the moral aspects of foreign affairs, the letter signers felt that the Spanish pastoral needed rebutting...
