...absolutely false, as the bodies were turned over to a licensed undertaker, who buried both bodies in the family burying ground on the place where the unfortunate battle between the members of the finest body of State Troopers in the U. S. and two crazy colored people, with a Northern education, took place. This is certainly one time that TIME has made a gross misstatement, as those burning bodies were protected by members of this same body of men until the fire cooled sufficiently to allow them to be turned over to the undertaker. Perhaps TIME can answer why those...
...also must have been a stunning blow to 560 men of a certain Northern regiment, whose time being expired, refused to stay over for an emergency. Three hundred from the same regiment did stay and, simply because of this, the whole shebang, goers and stayers, were bemedalled...
...passed a broad social service report but with stubborn conservatism tabled a recommendation to "investigate moral and social conditions as they affect Southern Baptist life." Said a "messenger" (delegate) : "We don't want any of that Communistic business in this convention." Fellowship Meetings. An odd liaison between the Northern and Southern conventions appeared in St. Louis in the loud-voiced, bumptious person of Rev. John Franklyn ("J.

Last week another Campbell - Rev. George A. of St. Louis' Union Avenue Christian Church - appeared before the Northern Baptist Convention with a plea for merger on the ground that theological differences between the two churches...
From a crude shelter in the middle of a cornfield near Delphos, Ohio, one evening last fortnight a 36-year-old amateur astronomer scrutinized the northern sky through his 6-in. telescope. Ten degrees from the North Star he spotted an unfamiliar object, below naked-eye visibility. At that location his charts showed no star, no nebula. Amateur Astronomer Leslie C. Peltier watched the tiny blob of light for five hours. In that time it moved sufficiently far to betray itself as a comet. To Harvard Observatory, whose officials knew his name very well, Peltier sent a telegram...
