That night in Washington some 800 delegates representing 274 organizations met to urge lifting the embargo. A rival "Keep the Embargo" meeting packed in 4,000, turned 2,000 away. Adroitly its sponsors presented not only Catholic churchmen as speakers but a Protestant onetime Ambassador to Spain, Irwin Laughlin, and a one time counsel of President Roosevelt (during his second term as Governor of New York State), Martin Conboy, who argued neutrality's case...
Franklin D. Roosevelt is an Episcopal churchwarden and an occasional worshipper, but he has never been so prone to invoke his Maker as were Calvin Coolidge and Warren G. Harding.

Haughty Episcopal St. Paul's School (Concord, N. H.) is famed for its hockey players and austere headmasters. From its founding in 1855 until Rev. Dr. Samuel Smith ("The Drip") Drury died last February, it was headed by four successive churchmen. Since then its trustees have argued whether they should break precedent by appointing a layman rector. Meanwhile, Layman Henry Crocker Kittredge, son of Harvard's renowned Professor George Lyman ("Kitty") Kittredge, served as acting rector...
