Nevertheless, for the first time at a General Convention, the Episcopalians held a joint mass meeting with Presbyterians. Cried the Presbyterians' Moderator, Dr. William Lindsay Young (a fraternal delegate at the convention): "My earnest prayer tonight is that I may live to stand before you some time and address, not your church, not my church, but our church...
...Oliver Lyttelton, who, before the war, was managing director of British Metal Corp. and held enough other directorates-including one with the German Metallgesellschaft A.-G.-to bring in ?20,000 in annual fees.

Men in overalls and blue denim shirts lined the street. Fans waved under tattered parasols. The loudspeaker brayed a prayer. Sweat-stained hats came off; the crowd's murmur hushed. Children scuffed their feet in the dusty heat...
