Edward Algernon Fitzroy the abdication message of Edward VIII (TIME, Dec. 21). The first message from new King George VI asked Parliament to make "permanent provision for the purpose of facilitating the uninter rupted exercise of the royal authority" in case of "any incapacity which might over take the Sovereign...
Resumption of business by the Lords and Commons last week, after the long British Christmas-New Year recess, opened politically the new Georgian era of George VI.

He had even changed his policy about yacht racing to meet popular demands...
...disciples were not Jews. Jewish names such as "Elijah" and "Isaiah" are omitted, replaced by "prophets." "Rabbi," as applied to Christ, becomes "Master." Christ, according to Bishop Weidemann, shared the "German Christians' " contempt for the Old Testament because it is Jewish in flavor. Example, St. John, Chapter VI...
