...practiced law in Honolulu, became president of the Hawaii Bar Association, something of an island civitarian. Neither the powerful Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association nor the local Democratic machine sponsored him for Governor. Coolidge-like in disposition, and having little in common with Franklin Roosevelt save religion (Episcopalian) and one personal habit (incessant cigaret smoking), "Judge" Poindexter won the President's approval because all groups admitted he was a good man, although not their...
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...
...became Marcel and Armand de Belvedere. Son David-Yusel married a rich and masterful girl, departed for points east. Son Julius went to England. Arrived in the U. S. at last, Mayer and faithful Son Pincus sought and found friends in Jewry.

Lawyer Taft is a pious Episcopalian like his mother. Last March he helped work up an "Everyman's Offering" campaign for his bishop, Rt. Rev. Henry Wise Hobson. By last week the Offering had become nationwide, with Lawyer Taft as its chairman and Eric Gibberd, a onetime department store executive (Abraham & Straus, Inc. in Brooklyn, Mably & Carew in Cincinnati), as its executive secretary. The Offering is working with posters, stickers, pamphlets, nationwide...
...Presbyterians in their pews, and Methodists at the rail use individual glasses, cordial size, with morsels of leavened bread. Many an Anglo-Catholic Episcopalian apes the Catholic practice of communion in one form. But opponents of the common cup, who plan to take their battle to the Episcopal general convention next autumn, have no intention of departing from good Episcopal methods. They favor "intinction," as practiced in the Eastern Orthodox Church and in some U. S. parishes, where there are tuberculous communicants. By intinction, the wafer is dipped in the wine, handed by the priest to the communicant...
