...Blessed Sacrament is adored by every Roman Catholic as the true Body and Blood of Christ. It is a particle of unleavened bread, generally baked by nuns, and consecrated by the priest during mass. When not in use it rests in a ciborium (cuplike vessel) in the tabernacle, a stout box on the church's high altar. In time of stress the Blessed Sacrament is the priest's first concern. In Toledo one night last week Rev. Francis J. Keyes hastened into his church, St. Patrick's. The tabernacle containing the ciborium and Host was gone...
...last month, the Chicago banker rallied to confound his doctors. One morning last week his heart stopped for two minutes. That evening he stirred from coma to whisper: "How tired I am!" At 11 o'clock the doctors called the family. After seven minutes the stout Traylor heart stopped beating for good...
...electrically inert particles 1,845 times as heavy as electrons. Neutrons were produced incognito by them and other researchers. Dr. James Chadwick of Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory first proclaimed neutrons for what they were (TIME, March 7, 1932). The Curie-Joliot work on radiation was a stout prop for Dr. Chadwick, and his proclamation was confirmed by the French couple who experimentally showed that neutrons behaved as only electrically dead particles could (TIME, Aug. 1, 1932). Hailed in every physical journal in the U. S. and Europe, their work foreshadowed discoveries to which their title would...
...Congregational & Christian Church is a three-year-old merger of a stout body which stems from the Pilgrim Fathers of 1620, and a small left-wing Methodist sect formed in 1792. With a million-odd members in 6,000 churches, the C. & C. Church has a moderator but no ponderous machinery to run things from the top. With New England firmness the individual churches do their own thinking and talking. This church last week was the first to come out against the scheme of Chicago's Adolph Oettinger Goodwin to gear piety with business in such a way that...
...triumphs at last not so much by virtue as endurance. Joyce first conceived the tale of Leopold Bloom as a short story, only to discover too many possibilities in it. In his strolls down the beaches of literature he stumbled on the Odyssey, an archaic old bottle but still stout, decided it was just the thing for his 20th Century wine. Thus. Ulysses became Bloom, the wanderer in search of home, wife and son. Penelope was his wife Molly, Telemachus, Stephen. Other obvious parallels: Hades, the graveyard; the Cave of Aeolus, the newspaper office; the Isle of Circe, the brothel...
