...printed Father Wiesel's letter without comment. Also it printed letters from Father O'Malley, S. J., dean of Loyola, and Father Theodore Daigler, S. J., president of Woodstock College. No other clergyman filed complaint. The weekly Baltimore Catholic Review printed a moderate objection. After four days quiet, Archbishop Curley returned from a trip out of town, heard what had gone on, reached for his telephone. An underling on the Sun's desk took the call. To all the Archbishop had to say, that unhappy deskman could only gulp and stammer. Later in the day Editor John W. Owens visited...
Thus in last week's Living, Church did a high-placed Episcopal bishop speak out for the first time against the divorces within the Episcopalian family of President Roosevelt. After Elliott Roosevelt received his Nevada divorce last year, he could find no Episcopal clergyman who would defy the canons of his church and marry the President's son to Ruth Googins; therefore the service had to be performed by a retired Congregationalist minister (TIME, July 31). The second White House divorce and possible remarriage outside the church is scheduled for late this month when Mrs. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt...
...slender, grey-haired conductor, a pious wealthy woman and a Dayton, Ohio church which had earnest hard-working choristers gave Westminster Choir its start. The conductor was Dr. John Finley Williamson, quiet son of a British clergyman, whose aim in life was to improve church music, make it more devotional, restore some of the artistic prestige it had in the days of Palestrina, Haydn, Bach.

'When the cup was passed to me there was a discharge on the rim nearest, so obvious and unmistakable that I fainted. I was told afterwards that the clergyman and the person on my left caught the cup before it reached the floor.' . . ."-Harold F. James, Rochester, N. Y. "I myself 'caught' typhoid fever from a sick parishioner, although I carefully washed my hands immediately after administering to them the Holy Communion."-Rev. John Munday, Temple...
Synthesis. Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington is irked by such caution, says it reminds him of the clergyman who wrote his wife: "I shall be home (God willing) on Friday, and in any case by Saturday." By mathematical means Sir Arthur has arrived at a value for lambda, the cosmical constant of repulsion which scatters the universe, and his lambda value would have the nebulae receding at even greater speeds than the observed velocities. This work incidentally enabled him to compute the total number of protons and electrons in the universe: 10 79 (ten followed by 78 zeros...
