...dean had been unable to go to a diocesan convention in Knoxville because, at the last minute, Mrs. Noe took ill, collapsed. Because of that convention, no weekday services were held in the Cathedral, and for the first time ousted Dean Noe went for a week without the communion bread & wine which had previously solaced, and partially nourished, him. Some 30 members of the parish were reported anxious to join him in his fast, but he attempted to discourage them. At week's end the gaunt, feverish-eyed dean gave the 15-minute religious talk he has been accustomed...
...haggard, burning-eyed clergyman last week went about his duties in St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Memphis, Tenn. and in his home in the shadow of the 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.

Her mother was the Spanish Marquesa des Bueno, descendant...

In Manhattan- popularly supposed to be ungodly although its churchgoers, mostly devout Roman Catholics, devout Jews, are many-the Protestant Episcopal Church has lost 8,584 members since 1910. But in Westchester, reported a committee of Episcopal churchmen and laymen last week, Episcopal churchgoers have increased by 12,223 in the same period, or nearly...
...incumbent Fusion administration should be turned out of office. Vainly searching for an issue, he has charged La Guardia with extravagance, with mismanaging the City's finances, with undertaking "expensive and disastrous" housing projects, with driving businesses from the city, with demoralizing the police, and finally with communion, spiritual and actual, with Communist Russia. In the face of the Fusion record it is hard to see how a normally intelligent man, a justice of the Supreme Court as Mahoney is, can hand out such a tissue of falsehoods and misrepresentations...
