...which is unworthy of TIME. Washington was a life-long church member and for 20 years a vestryman. He lacked confirmation, as did practically all members of the Church of England in the American colonies, since no English Bishop ever came to them; and he was not disposed late in life to seek a rite without which he had always maintained full church membership. Attendance upon church-services was his established and regular habit, rather than an infrequent practice, as you imply.

Last July, editors were in a quandary over a book called The President's Daughter, published and issued for review by an "Elizabeth Ann Guild, Inc." of Manhattan.

Gilmore. The conversation which they had traveled 10,000 miles to seek lasted...
