...City of Eureka, ship that sailed from Manhattan last week, a well groomed heifer whisked her tail; a bull, morose, fastened in his stall, braced his feet; 13 other high-grade bulls and heifers stirred uneasily to the vibration of the ship. They, blessed by Father Lazarus of the Orthodox Greek Church in Manhattan, were on their way to Athens, where they are intended to stimulate and improve (with the co-operation of the Near East Relief), the native animal husbandry...
Viewpoints. To decide what the united Christian Church is or should be, it was necessary to reconcile varying interpretations of the word "church." On one hand was the Eastern Orthodox view that the Church, established and immutably fixed at seven ecumenical councils during the first eight centuries, is an objectively divine institution.

Since then she has been a many-barbed thorn in their flesh, and lately, since...

At the three services great censers filled the air with smoking perfume, and in Bucharest the priests intoned a resonant Gregorian chant, while the bearded Patriarch stood robed in Biblical and almost regal splendor. Cried the Dowager...
