...Wilderness of the Lost. Last week at St. Elizabeths, the Rev. Ernest Emile Bruder said goodbye to his tenth class of minister-trainees under the auspices of the nationwide Council for Clinical Training. Episcopalian Bruder was appointed to St. Elizabeths by the Washington Federation of Churches as what he considers the first real minister to the mentally ill in the U.S. During 3½ years as an Anglican parish minister in Canada.

Pike, Dean of the New York Cathedral (St. John the Divine). It is motivated, he added, by "fear of friction with Spain, which is so financially dependent upon us it is absurd." Thundered the National Association of Evangelicals: "An affront to all true Protestants."

The agreement has not yet been signed, said General Kissner, and when...
