Year ago in Memphis, Tenn., a haggard, burning-eyed, 100-lb. clergyman, Dean Israel Harding Noe (pronounced No-ee) of St. Mary's Cathedral (Episcopal), fasted himself into the news (TIME, Jan. 31, 1938). Attempting to prove that "the spirit can sustain the body, unaided by food or drink," Dean Noe kept it up for 22 days, was then deposed by his bishop for his "vagary" and taken, gravely ill, to a hospital...
Last fortnight, looking far from haggard, 180-lb. Churchman Noe once more mounted a Memphis pulpit. More than 100 Memphis citizens, some of them non-Episcopalians, had petitioned the Tennessee Diocesan Convention for permission to form a new parish, to be named St. James'. Permission granted, the parish invited popular Mr. Noe to be its rector. Pending the raising of money to build a church, Mr. Noe's flock planned to meet wherever they could hire or borrow a hall.

Like many of St. Louis' facultymen and students, quiet, scholarly Dr. Moyer Springer Fleisher, ousted head of the University Medical School's bacteriology department, is neither a Jesuit nor a Roman Catholic. Two and a half years ago he became a sponsor of the Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish Democracy. St. Louis' Jesuit trustees were annoyed. When, year and half ago, the committee sponsored a pro-Loyalist speech in St. Louis by an allegedly unfrocked Irish priest, Michael O'Flanagan, St. Louis' Catholic Club and Archbishop John J. Glennon were more than annoyed; they demanded...
