...Sensitive. The new courses, known as the Seabury Series,* are available to all parishes at a price of approximately $2 a child, with books, pamphlets and teachers' manuals for grades 1, 4 and 7. About 2,000 parishes have already sent in pre-publication orders. Planning for the series got under way nine years ago when the Episcopal Church decided that the Sunday-school curriculum in too many parishes was little better than a pious device for providing some peace and quiet around the house on Sunday morning.

...more alive than it might sound. Local stations, unlike the networks, are feeling good and talking bigger. Says Richard Buckley, manager of Manhattan's WNEW: "1954 was the biggest year in billings and profits in our history. Sales ran 42.7% ahead of 1948, the last pre-television year."

Roughly speaking, we may say that whereas all history was for our ancestors divided into two periods, the pre-Christian and the Christian . . . for us it falls into three-the pre-Christian, the Christian, and what may reasonably be called the post-Christian . . . It appears to me that the second change is even more radical than the first. Christians and Pagans had much more in common with each other than either...
