...Sultan Murad V. Best of all, the Caliph had no son and his hoary beard was that of a Patriarch unlikely to become again a father. At the death of this pope of Islam, therefore, pious believers would look upon the offspring of his daughter perhaps not as an orthodox and regular Caliph but certainly with utmost reverence in the absence of any other Caliph. Obviously the two pretty girls were a prime match for the two sons of the Nizam of Hyderabad and off these princes-Azam Jah and Moazam Jah-were packed to Europe-the first royal Hyderabad...
When Great Britain treats with a lesser nation like Rumania, her diplomats may exhibit well-bred superciliousness. Not so when the Church of England deals with a body like the Orthodox Church of Rumania. The Anglican Church, convinced as it is that it is truly Catholic, is young compared with its Catholic colleagues throughout the world. And many an Anglican is sensitive because doubt has been cast-mostly by Roman Catholics- upon the validity of Anglican priestly powers, which are descended from those of Queen Elizabeth's first Archbishop, who according to Roman Catholics was not validly consecrated.

More actively and practically interested in Christian unity than any other great church in the world, the Church of England five years ago moved toward rapprochement with the Orthodox Eastern Patriarchate of Constantinople (TIME, Jan. 11, 1932).

London's Laborite Daily Herald went haywire with a speedily disproved scare story that Ambassador von Ribbentrop was in course of installing at his Embassy the most powerful radio broadcasting station next to those of the British Government. All that had happened was that the German Embassy recently put up an impressive looking aerial...
...Oxford and Cambridge would learn many things which would not be to their worldly or spiritual advantage. But at Harvard scandals are unknown; the undergraduates, if not always wise as serpents, are at all events harmless as doves. They pay their addresses to young ladies in the most orthodox manner, take them out to cotillion parties, or 'Germans', as they are called, and bring them home at midnight in the dark. But no harm over comes of it, except sometimes premature espousals...
