...giving its constituent churches prayers, litanies, orders of worship, to enrich evangelical services, which are often stereotyped and colorless. Lately the Federal Council's Committee on Worship urged Evangelicals to observe the feasts of the Christian Year more fully, to try out a new season called Kingdom-tide (after Trinity Sunday), representing the concept of the Church in action. Last fortnight the Federal Council's Department of Race Relations issued a "prayer of penitence" for churches to employ when they feel conscious of "the national sin of lynching." Excerpts...

Its official history begins with an account of how the organization was conceived to meet the "crisis" brought on by another Democratic Administration (Grover Cleveland's).

Pug-faced, whimsical Barry Fitzgerald, Hollywood recruit from Ireland's Abbey Players, mugs too, but mugging, reckless shadow boxing and a cinemaddiction to strong drink are the Fitzgerald stock in trade. Ebb Tide provides several "firsts": It is Technicolor's first sea story; Viennese Oscar Homolka's first Hollywood vehicle; blonde Frances Farmer's first appearance in a sarong.
