Died. Metropolitan Sergei, 78, Patri arch of Moscow and All Russia; of a brain hemorrhage; in Moscow. A favorite churchman at the court of the last Tsar Nicholas II, in 1925 he became Patriarch of the then unrecognized Russian Or thodox Church.

Since then he has established an anti-New Deal...

They might also remember that last September Dr. Garbett had taken a long trip in the opposite direction-to Moscow, to give the hand of traditional ecumenical brotherhood to Russia's newly reinstated Patriarch. (Last week Patriarch Sergei gave the back of his hand to Pius XII, declared, in the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate, that the Pope is not Christ's Vicar on earth...
