...Rufus T. Bush, mother of Irving T. Bush, owner of the famed Bush Terminal, Brooklyn, last week sent his yacht a present. The boat, building in Germany, will have no filthy foreign wine over her bows at christening. A California vintage, 40 years old, was despatched to Dresden to help entitle her Coronet...
Prince Bismarck declared, towards the end of his days, that destiny fixed the total of every man's consumption of pleasurable goods. His own two major quotas, he specified, were 36,000 bottles of wine and 150,000 strong cigars. Statisticians do not know how many inhabitants of the U.

To this congregation the Holy Communion may be merely a symbolic ceremony, to that one a sacrament suffused with almost Roman Catholic mysticism. The wine and unleavened bread used during the Holy Communion to one congregation will represent Blood & Body only for the few minutes of the service, to another congregation they remain Blood & Body forever after consecration (the Roman Catholic tenet). Those Protestant Episcopalians (in England members of the Church of England) who desire...
