...only in Rome were these words spoken last week. In Cleveland's ugly, red brick St. John's Cathedral another bishop was added to the apostolic succession. Present for the occasion was the scholarly, active Archbishop of Cincinnati, Most Rev. John Timothy McNicholas, whose fame in the Midwestern hierarchy is exceeded only by that of Chicago's George William Cardinal Mundelein and rivalled only by that of Cleveland's own Bishop Joseph Schrembs,† who was in charge of the U. S. section of the Dublin Eucharistic Congress last June. Present also were the new Archbishop...
...raise funds for a new trial, Rev, Harold Davidson, the white-haired, ill-famed Rector of Stiffkey, England, who was deposed for improper conduct with girls he was "rescuing" (TIME, July 18), last week put himself on display in a barrel on the seaside promenade of Blackpool, next to a girl fasting in a barrel. Crowds flocked to see. Explained he: "I am not going to fast. But I shall be here from 10 a. m. to midnight. While I am in the barrel, I shall be occupied with preparing my case. I want 200 pounds sterling for a special...
According to church tradition, a basilica was built on the spot of the miracle of loaves & fishes. Long buried under seven feet of clay, this basilica was unearthed last week by Rev. Evarist Andrea Mader, director of the German Oriental Institute (Roman Catholic) of Jerusalem. The ruin is 170 ft. long, with a 66-ft. transept.

Behind are shown the loaves & fishes, with a sort of basket which is presumably one of the twelve...
Religion by radio is usually a routine medley of sermons, prayers, hymns, sacred music by soloists and choristers. Occasionally it is colorful, as when a Eucharistic Congress or the dedication of a cathedral is broadcast. Religious talks, like those of Los Angeles' Rev. Robert Pierce ("Bob") Shuler and Detroit's Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, are often embarrassing and distasteful to churchmen. Last fortnight, for the second time, religion went on the air purely & simply as news. When National Broadcasting Co. decided to build up a "Lowell Thomas of Religion," it went straight to young Dr. Stanley Hoflund High...
...communion. Washington's reputation, like that of such Deists as Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin, is one of coolness and moderation in religion. But through his time swept a hot blast of evangelism, chiefly in the Methodist and Baptist faiths. General Washington one day went to Rev. John Gano, chaplain in the Continental Army, and exclaimed: "I have been investigating the Scripture, and I believe immersion to be baptism taught in the Word of God, and I demand it at your hands. I do not wish any parade made or the army called out, but simply...
