Last summer The Living Church (high-church Episcopal weekly) begged for help (TiME, Aug. 24, Sept. 14). Last week it announced that aid had come "from anonymous sources." The Southern Churchman (low-church Episcopal weekly) also needed help, and still does. Three weeks ago the World's Christian Fundamentals Association, publisher of The Christian Fundamentalist, announced it was $1,600 in debt because "one dear friend" is no longer able to give from $1,250 to $2,500 a year. To these names were added last week two more: The Churchman (independent, liberal Episcopal weekly) and The Presbyterian Advance...

Tact and politeness are qualities which usually distinguish the gatherings of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Its bishops are gentlemanly, impressive; its lay delegates potent in calibre. Aware of the Church's influence and its duties. The Churchman pointed out last fortnight (quoting Banker George Foster Peabody) that its membership controls one-tenth of the wealth in the U. S. But Episcopal dignity, grounded in ease and security, can become ruffled with changing times and new problems. It was evident last week that the Episcopalians' 50th triennial General Convention, opening in Denver, Col., was to be considerably less placid...
...decide whether he wanted to be a Bishop Coadjutor. The diocese of Connecticut had none; since 1928 Bishop Edward Campion Acheson had been his own Coadjutor. Now he had found he needed an assistant. A diocesan convention was held in Christ Church Cathedral. Hartford. Chief candidates were High Churchman Rev. Dr. Samuel Smith Drury, rector of St. Paul's School (Concord, N. H.); Low Churchman Rev. Dr. Howard Chandler Robbins, onetime dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine who a week before had been belaboring his oldtime superior. Bishop William Thomas Manning of New-York (TIME. Sept...
