Horse Lover. So great is William Woodward's love for horses that he has oil paintings made of all his great racers, has prints made from them for Christmas presents. So horse-minded is he that when his wife, one of Baltimore's famed Cryder triplets, bore him a son after four daughters, he wired his friends: "Fine colt born this morning." Sometimes he names horses after his very good friends. One year he had two especially fine colts. One he named Sir Ashley, after Sir Ashley Sparks, U. S. resident director of the Cunard Line. The other he named...

...trouble. Most of the "messengers" were for telling off Hitler and Mussolini. Thereupon a German Baptist bitterly accused the congress of not understanding Germany, while an Italian defended Il Duce as Baptism's protector against the Roman Catholic Church.

He blamed "the sinister figure of the priest," rather than King Carol, for Baptist troubles in Rumania. He paid his respects to "the intolerant temper of the Roman Catholic...
