John Charles Thomas, a Pennsylvania Methodist minister's son, made his name in musical comedy (Maytime, Apple Blossoms). He went to Brussels for operatic experience and he has sung briefly in opera in Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco. But it was his concerts that made New York realize he had the warmest, smoothest baritone voice in the country. Concerts have earned him enough money to keep a home in Easton, Maryland, another in Palm Beach where he often goes sailfishing with his wife...
...Congregational & Christian Church is a three-year-old merger of a stout body which stems from the Pilgrim Fathers of 1620, and a small left-wing Methodist sect formed in 1792.

Usually well posted, Toronto's Globe said that Premier Bennett was expected shortly to ask Parliament to devalue the Canadian dollar...
...GRACE OF GOD is called down daily upon the Senate and the House by Chaplains Ze Barney Thome Phillips (right in cut below) and James Shera Montgomery, respectively. House Chaplain Montgomery (Methodist) was less flowery than Senate Chaplain Phillips (Episcopalian). On opening day last week the latter began, "God of our fathers, Fountain of light and love, before whose boundless gaze the seasons roll in majesty and might, and man, Thy miniature divine, was made to walk the earth in joy; incline, at this momentous hour of the newborn year, our thoughts to prayer, our lips to praise...
