...They work through the Liturgical Society of St. James which they founded eight years ago. They advocate a change not in theological doctrine but in church services, with pastors wearing proper vestments, decking their altars with flowers and tapers, emphasizing the crucifix, reviving traditional Lutheran rubrics, singing only the purest liturgical music. These practices, common in Scandinavian Lutheran churches, are anathema in many a U. S. parish where Lutheranism is austere and puritanical. The liturgists argue that what they want is nothing new. Martin Luther called a mass a mass. He favored vestments, tapers and incense; genuflected and even approved...
...purest bull character into a bull of bronze, reasoned Sculptor Herbert Haseltine, is to model only from a champion. Furthermore, the owners of such prize animals are usually only too glad to pay for it. For 13 years Haseltine has been freezing champions into stone and bronze as accurately as a Stone Age man graphing a bison on his cave wall.

It is not at all uncommon to find men who are taking two heavy laboratory courses, a Physics course with a reasonable laboratory, period, and some reading course for distribution; such an individual will spend his mornings rushing from the lab to a lecture and back; he will...
Perfectly logical from the Nazi standpoint, this "lifting" springs from Adolf Hitler's firm belief that his State must strive to create a "pure German race" and that the race today is purest among rustic homesteaders unpolluted by the "Jewish Marxism" to be found in German towns. By setting apart and pampering the peasants Leader Hitler hopes to rear an "aristocracy of blood...
