Last Easter the Catholic and Episcopal chaplains at an Eastern university assisted a Lutheran minister in celebrating the midnight Eucharist-in a Dutch Reformed church.

While New York City's skyscrapers shimmered in 96° heat, the highest temperature ever recorded there in April, Floridians endured an unseemly chill and tornadoes skipped across Oklahoma and Texas. Heavy rains deluged Texas, Oklahoma and western Kansas-but too late to save the drought-stricken winter wheat crop, whose scraggly remains have been plowed under.

Mercifully, an onset of rain in Iowa and other parts of the Midwest has alleviated that worry. Still, in areas already seriously stricken by drought, it will take several years of normal rainfall and intensive soil husbandry before Dust Bowl conditions are overcome...
