...TIME-READER IN ENGLAND, WOULD SUGGEST SETTING OF YOUR ARTICLE ON OXFORD GROUP SOMEWHAT IRRELEVANT. WHEN ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY SAYS OXFORD GROUP IS DOING WHAT CHURCH OF CHRIST EXISTS EVERYWHERE TO DO, WHEN PRIMATE DANISH STATE CHURCH, THOUSANDS OF CHURCHMEN OF PRINCIPAL DENOMINATIONS ARE IN OXFORD GROUP, SUCH WORDS AS ''CULT" AND "NEW RELIGION" SEEM INVALID. TIME DOES NOT WANT TO HOLD UP IN THE U. S. THE SPIRITUAL RECOVERY OTHER NATIONS ARE FINDING THROUGH THIS MOVEMENT-A REBIRTH OF CHRISTIANITY FOR THE ORDINARY...
...remarkable hookup among churchmen, politicians and pigeon-fanciers, some 3,000 pigeons winged industriously over large parts of the U. S. for several days last week.

Nazi strategists became alarmed. Reichsbischof Müller was robbed of all authority, even deprived of his private automobile. Stubbornly he clung to his title, rode on streetcars. Last week...
