...Philadelphia, Rev. John Robbins Hart of midcity St. Stephen's Episcopal Church heard his secretary observe that a number of local churches were being "put in mothballs." In no time lively, curly-headed Dr. Hart, longtime unofficial chaplain of the University of Pennsylvania, was propagandizing among his colleagues for an Anti-Mothball Society. Motto: DON'T SLOW UP. Last week the Society had more than a score of participating churches, busy not only in organizing steady services but in promoting an inter-church tennis tournament, an employment agency, weekly interdenominational stunt nights. At St. Stephen's stunt...
...Hooked-Cross (Swastika) and the Cross cannot be much longer avoided.

Last week in Los Angeles Rev. A. (for Alton) Earl Lee, 39, onetime disciple of Aimee Semple McPherson, set out in his small Immanuel Temple to better the marathoning records of Preacher Brown and Dr. Mdodana. Preacher Lee, a curly-haired, wisp-mustached University of California graduate, declared he would preach continuously for 60 hours. He hired a nurse and dietitian, a portable microphone, had food, wearing apparel and a rubdown table placed in his vestry. Subject of his sermon: "The Deity of God in Jesus Christ...
