Last fortnight, the Most Rev. Samuel Alphonsus Stritch, newly installed Archbishop of Chicago, made his first clerical appointment. As a "reward and a promotion for Father Rowan's record of 14 years of service," the Archbishop made him pastor of a moderately good church, St. Lucy's, and explained that this appointment was made at Father Rowan's "expressed and repeated request." Last week the New World came out under a new editor: Father Dailey of the pro-Franco editorials. Gone was the "Big Broadcast...
...months the Most Rev. Francis Joseph Spellman, plump-faced, quick-smiling, and broadminded, has been Archbishop of 1,000,000 Roman Catholics in & around New York City. But not until last week did he attain the fullness of his ecclesiastical powers. Then a great throng of priests, bishops and Catholic laymen filled St. Patrick's Cathedral. Burly Denis Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia-substituting for Archbishop Spellman's onetime superior, ailing William Cardinal O'Connell of Boston-placed around the Archbishop's shoulders a narrow woolen band embroidered with crosses.

Thus the invitation which the Trinity vestry sent to Arthur Kinsolving this winter was a challenge. That he accepted it, putting aside the easy fame and popularity of Boston for the smaller prospects and pay of Princeton, may have been a surprise to those who take for granted...
...years ago the earthly heaven of that earthly little black "god," the Rev. Major J. ("Father") Divine, was enriched by two new angels, Verinda and Thomas Brown. As working Negroes go-they were cook & butler in Forest Hills, L. I.-the Browns were well heeled. Soon after they visited Father Divine's heaven at Sayville, L. I., confirming their angelic state by taking the names Rebecca Grace and Onward Universe, they forked out their savings, nearly $1,000. Onward Universe liked the porkchop heaven so well that he stayed put, while Rebecca Grace worked to send Father...
