...ngerknaben sang nothing but ecclesiastical music until 1926 when Father Schnitt's savings were gone and they went out giving concerts with an eye to the boxoffice. The blue-&-white sailor costumes which the boys are wearing for the U. S. concerts are symbolic of the secular turn their programs have taken. (In Washington last week they sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Dixie.") Proceeds from their U. S. tour, to be taken in a bus labeled "Wiener Sängerknaben Special," will go to the school, not to the boys. Yehudi Menuhin still asks for a strawberry...

A onetime English teacher at Boston University, Father Talbot helped found the Catholic Book Club which selects secular books for the faithful to read. This month he is to publish a book of plays.

...presses last fortnight printed and bound like any novel. Eleventh version in English since King James I's 54 scholars issued their revision in 1611, The American Bible is newly translated from the original texts, result of some six years of labor by five able savants.* Secular in appearance but convenient to the eye are its single-column pages, dialog in quotation marks, with subtitles and paragraph headings; verse numbers are set in the margins.

...such a contingency is not likely to arise. Reason: exceptionally high reader interest among a highly select group of subscribers. Can TIME cite any periodical, religious or secular, that can match these figures of The Living Church? Of its individual subscribers (exclusive of agencies and single copy buyers), 27.6% voluntarily pay at "sustaining" rates of from $5 to $100 per year, instead of the regular $4 (lay) or $3.50 (clerical) rate. These sustaining subscribers contribute 41.8% of the total revenue received from individual subscriptions...
