...Skirting Dogma. Most of the ecumenical progress outlined during the Crete meeting was in areas of joint social and economic activity, unclouded by bitter historical disputes and fundamental differences of doctrine. Particularly emphasized was emergency relief, such as last year's collaboration between W.C.C. and Catholic organizations in aiding famine-threatened India. In this connection, Dr. Blake predicted that the Roman Catholic Church and the W.C.C. might begin to "spend money together" by the end of next year. The joint working group also called for more cooperation in missionary activities, Bible translations, and, citing the similarity of educational problems...

...corporation, is the official party priestess. She is a trouble-shooter, spending time in cities where the sales are down and managing institutes which open in big important cities for the first few weeks. It is her duty to instill in students a blind unquestioning faith in the party dogma. When a student told Mrs. Wood during the first lesson that she doubted she would ever read very fast, Mrs. Wood admonished her with "young lady, if there is any doubt in your mind about ultimate success, I promise you that you will fail. You must have perfect confidence...
