...Brothers Karamazov" is no longer merely the gloomy epileptic whose chief joy would appear--from a casual reading--to be vivid portrayal of dirt, squalor, sensuality and the psychology of the diseased and stunted mind. Instead he takes on something of the aspect of a religious teacher, not a theologian not a didacticism, but one who used as his text the Gospel story of the raising of Lazarus. He becomes rather the man who, having passed through a life of suffering and deprivation and a decade of hell in the Siberian katorga, returned without losing faith in humanity and with...
Like the present Archbishop of York and Canterbury, Bishop Temple owes his swift rise, in part, to his intimacy with British royalty, but chiefly to his great ability as a leader of social work (particularly labor movements) and as a theologian. Archbishop Lang was Honorable Chaplain to Queen Victoria and close friend of the queen's consort Albert.

Turning against Rome a face that looks like a vise with two deep sockets for eyes, Louis Cardinal Billot, 81-year-old Frenchman, a foremost theologian, renounced his red hat and repaired last week to France to enter a monastery as plain Father Billot. The alleged cause of his resig nation was the Pope's placing Leon Daudet's newspaper L'Action Francaise on the Index Expurgatorius (thus banning it at once from all Roman Catholic homes). His Holiness' policy was based on the conviction that the wily, obstreperous editors of L'Action were using...
