...Penitentes still suffer for their sins. Near each morada is a hill called Calvary, usually surmounted by a cross which stands there all year long. In Easter Week, on Wednesday, Thursday and Good Friday, the Penitentes stage processions between morada and Calvary-some stripped to the waist, with thorny cacti bound around their chests, some scourging themselves every few steps with sharp-bladed yucca leaves until the blood saturates their trousers, some staggering under 15-ft. wooden crosses. Some of them crawl upon the sharp stones on lacerated knees and hands, and each, beneath the black hood that conceals...
...suffer more and more from the shameful state of affairs in my country," he whispered. "If all my appeals bear no fruit, I shall leave Geneva and go to my cave in the Bernese Oberland near Fribourg. I will then start a new fasting period, this time unto eternity." Newsmen at the Palais des Nations guessed that Vo would continue his curious protest-just as Viet Nam would go on being partitioned...
More second-quarter-earnings reports last week indicated where business recovery is rapid and where it is slow. It is rapid in some aircraft companies, in machinery makers, rubber and steel.

...Jerusalem shall be trodden down . . . until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" (Luke 21:24). Russell decided the "times" began when Nebuchadnezzar overthrew Jerusalem (in 586 B.C. according to historians, in October 607 B.C. according to Russell). Since Israel was to suffer "seven times" for its sins (Leviticus 26:18), Russell had to measure the length of a "time." Revelation, he reasoned, calls 1,260 days 3½ "times," so he doubled that to make seven "times" equal 2,520 days. Discouraging result: 600 B.C. Later he found Jehovah saying (Ezekiel 4:6): "I have appointed thee each...
