...Deal's Kansas candidates were virtually unopposed. But in the Republican voting came a possible portent for November-the nomination of onetime (1929-31) Governor Clyde M. Reed for the Senate in a heavy G. O. P. vote. Superficial but spectacular was Mr. Reed's defeat of Rev...
Believing that too many churches are "put in mothballs" during the summer, Rev. Dr. John Robbins ("Jack") Hart Jr., Philadelphia Episcopalian, last summer founded an Anti-Mothball Society (TIME, July 12, 1937). Its motto: DON'T SLOW UP. Unlike many another church promotion scheme, which quietly expires after getting some publicity, the Anti-Mothball Society last week had by no means slowed up. Energetic, curly-haired Jack Hart, associate rector of midtown St. Stephen's Church, longtime unofficial chaplain at the University of Pennsylvania, since last November the active rector of Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge, expanded...
...imitators of the Anti-Mothball Society have yet been reported. But last week in Dublin, Ga., Rev. T. B. Seibenham put a notice SEATS FREE on his Centenary Methodist Church, on the chance that it might increase attendance.

Last month the trustees thought they had found their man: Rev. John Crocker, 38, studious, absentminded, enthusiastic high Churchman, Episcopal Chaplain of Princeton University, a graduate of Groton. Harvard (where he played end on the football team), Oxford. Grotties speak of "Jack" Crocker as logical successor to Groton's 80-year-old Headmaster Endicott Peabody; and he himself has declined nomination for the bishoprics of New Jersey and Vermont. Last week, after long pondering St. Paul's School's offer, he returned a nolo docere, turned down...
Busiest of all was the handsome, dark-haired prior of a Servite community in Chicago, Rev. James R. Keane. Two winters ago, in Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Chicago, Father Keane inaugurated a perpetual novena in honor of Our Sorrowful Mother, with special Stations of the Cross and prayers of his own compilation. Last winter Father Keane's novena began getting publicity when 16,500 people attended it every Friday, each making nine devotions in succession to the Virgin, in hope of spiritual or material reward (TIME, Dec. 27). By last week, 50,000 Catholics were thronging...
