...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 the activities of his Anti-Mothballers this summer. He divided them into two groups, one consisting of Philadelphia stay-at-homes, the other of people...

H.), he was offered two other jobs: the Episcopal coadjutor-bishopric of Pennsylvania, the rectorship of Manhattan's Trinity Church ("one of the most enviable jobs in or beyond the Episcopal Church" which has often proved a stepping-stone to the top-ranking bishopric of New York). St. Paul's is the oldest and biggest of the haughty Episcopal preparatory schools, and its headmastership always ranked high, but Dr. Drury's nolo episcopari enormously increased the prestige...
