...Caesar's and the things that are God's has perplexed churchmen ever since Christ made the distinction. In 1919, after World War I, the British Empire decided to end their perplexity. It required a pledge from each foreign missionary who wished to labor in the ever sunlit Empire vineyard that he would "do nothing contrary to, or in diminution of, the authority of the lawfully constituted Government in the country to which I am appointed." U. S. Methodists signed this oath with no twinge of conscience. In British India they have a large stake: 334 missionaries...
Last week fine spring weather spread warmly over a sunlit Europe. In Norway, where the nights now are like dim, water-green, translucent twilights; in England, where the potato crop is doing well thanks to the rains in May; in Switzerland, where the yodeling festival is a high spot of the Zurich Fair; in Paris, where they are singing One Fine Day from Madame Butterfly and dancing to Chopin's Seconde Étude played as a tango; in Warsaw, where the officers called up are whiling away the time between crises learning to play bridge; in Belgium, where they...

Hoffmann, who had plenty to say: "A Hollywood treasure hunt-fooey! The whole thing was nuts from the very beginning." He soon was testifying before a grand jury and telling his story...
...sometimes called "sun pictures," and in a few years the clarity of U. S. sunlight was being declared the reason for the superiority of Yankee photographers. Published this week is the first attempt at a full history of these men, their methods, their successors up to 1890, and the sunlit instants preserved by them from life now vanished in America...
