...Germany, German missions have repeatedly begged help from U. S. Lutherans. Disturbing to the leaders in Christian Foreign Service is the fact that many an African and Near Eastern native, never reached by missionaries, is now learning about Christian civilization from the British, French and Italians, who muster him into an army, hand him a gun. In India the mass movement of Untouchables into Christian churches continues to tax their resources. In China, where the U. S. investment of $50,000,000 represents 60% of the total missionary stake, Protestants have lost from...
...Take This Woman"--and who wouldn't? But it is a bit more difficult to muster up any enthusiasm for the picture itself. The story revolves about the eternal "eternal triangle" which is not handled with enough verve to justify its lack of originality.

Peter Quennell (pronounced Kweneir) is (with Virginia Woolf, Edith Sitwell, Lord David Cecil) one of the few. An Oxonian of ascetic good looks and elegant manners, Quennell was turned loose six years ago on a great collection of Byron's letters owned by Publisher John Murray. His Byron: The Years of Fame was the sprightly result; his preoccupation with the 18th Century followed. In the spirit of the age, Quennell has rapidly taken three wives...
