...flock of 372 Fascist Deputies, Shepherd Benito said: "Italy is just beginning her very last Parliamentary experiment. If it succeeds, all right; if it fails, Parliament will be suppressed and its place taken by other vehicles of Government. . . . We must, therefore, do everything in our power to govern along new lines and to strive to make the Italian Chamber a model of Parliamentary institutions. Revolutions often obtain results different from those they at first intended.

Edwin had forbidden his flock to call physicians during an epidemic of the disease; this had resulted in quarantine of the church and of the homes of nine of the flock, by the local authorities.

Wilson, New York Bishop, cast gloom upon the multitude by announcing a 26% decrease in contributions to the general funds...
Edward Winterborne, pastor of the Faith Tabernacle of Lebanon, Pa., is leader of a most curious and obstinate flock. Diphtheria is ravaging his congregation. Seven have died. Fifty others are seriously ill. And yet a Mrs. Roth, whose husband and two children died last week, announced with infinite faith: 'I would rather have my children and myself dead and on our way to Heaven than to be saved by medicine...
