Whatever the reason for this heterogeneity, all creeds lament it. As a matter of act, they have been lamenting it off and on for more than half a millenium, but now, with the interest of the cloth in the course of world history intensified by the advent of the atom bomb, lamentation alone is no satisfaction. In all religions the two principal aims are the same. The discovery of truth is one, the improvement of the world the other; and though there will probably never be unity in the pursuit of the first, American churches are finding that there...
This dramatic, unsolicited windfall came from 76-year-old Banker Thomas William Lament of J. P. Morgan & Co. It was almost enough to cover the largest item on the list of needed cathedral reconstruction: $520,000 to repair the roof and reface the Caen stone, damaged by centuries of British weather as well as bombs. (The stone was brought from Normandy to rebuild the 6th Century church which had been destroyed by fire...

Croteau is not the sort of man you'd expect in the wispy levels of morality. He stands with his feet firmly in the muck, in full knowledge of what goes on in Boston, and why, and whom to go to see to have it stopped. His great lament is the overplay given the Society's censorship activities, which take only ten percent of its efforts and even less of its $2,500,000 endowment. Outside the field of censorship, Watch and Ward is just another Legion of Decency, an unofficial vice squad that has the support of most communities...
