...verses like the foregoing (Chapel Wooing) have appeared in Chicago newspaper columns, over the nom de plume "Friar Tuck," for 20 years. Lank, bushy-browed Friar Tuck is a copyreader, feature-writer and religion editor for the Sunday Herald and Examiner. He is also, under his real name of Rev. Irwin St. John Tucker, an Episcopal minister, rector for eleven years of Chicago's St. Stephen's, nicknamed "The Little Church at the End of the Road." Last week, upon the publication of Friar Tuck's latest thin volume of verse, Bishop George Craig Stewart named Rector...
Next day, Corrigan made a few public cracks about his parson uncle, the Rev. S. Fraser Langford. Stories about him "teaching me navigation and me living in his home are a lot of hooey. . . . The guy . . . started sending me cables to appear in ... night clubs, . . . and him a preacher, at that." Day later, at San Francisco City Hall, beside Mayor Angelo Rossi, he noted the Irishmen on the reception committee (Quinn, Riordan, Casey, Murphy, Reilly) : ". . . From the names ...

Jocism recruits mem bers at 14, asks their resignations when, they marry or reach 25. Like all militant organizations, from the Jesuits to the Comintern, the Jocists...
...bring the whole world to Christ." French-speaking workers in New Hampshire formed the first Jocist group in the U. S. A Catholic college student of Glendale, L. I., Vincent J. Ferrari, is launching the movement on a wider front, under the supervision of an able Paulist father, Rev. Paul Ward. Four Jocist study groups have been started. Jocist Ferrari, no worker himself, last week appeared minded to modify the thoroughly radical temper of European Jocism. Full of zeal against Communism, he seemed less interested in spreading labor unions (of which the Pope and French, and Belgian Jocists are vigorous...
When his Paris taxicab bumped into another, the Rev. Dr. Endicott Peabody, 81-year-old founder and headmaster of Massachusetts' socialite Groton School, who educated and performed the marriages of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and most of the Roosevelt children, went to a hospital with three broken ribs...
