Frederick Edwin ("Galloper") Smith, 54, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain (1919-22), First Baron Birkenhead (1919), First Earl of Birkenhead (1922), has met success as often as any man in England (TIME, May 3). There are those who, reflecting on his delight in a cold bottle and a warm companion, would scarcely call his wooing of success quite "gentlemanly." But the present Secretary of State for India, brilliant, resourceful, has at least no false pride...

Nor had he, that they knew, ever tasted temptation and iniquity to know its horrors...
Baptist Norris with prodigious ire blasted the Modernists some time ago with a sentence, in scareheads on his Fundamentalist-Baptist Searchlight: "Judas Iscariot, when he betrayed his Lord with 'Hail, Master' on his lips, went and hung himself, but these modern Judases [Liberals] continue to occupy the pulpit and use the name of Christ and live off the money of orthodox people." Dr. Norris reached for a desk drawer. Pious Parson Norris was indicted in 1912 at Fort Worth for perjury and arson in connection with the burning of his church. Disciples did not desert him, rather increased...
