...Church; 400 from the M. E. Church South, which had seceded over slavery in 1844; 10° from the Methodist Protestant Church, which had split off in 1828. In the last three years the three churches successively ratified a plan of union. The Uniting Conference met to proclaim and exult in the merger, the biggest in Protestant history, and to deal with the many and various problems of overlapping administration. The three merging churches have between them 65 bishops, some 25,000 ministers, about 43,000 churches, 2,900 schools and colleges, many a hospital and social-service agency, several...
...Without more encouragement he ushers me to the seat and bids me grasp the wheel. "When you see the red light, apply the brakes as fast as you can." The red light flashes on the board above me, and quickly I press the brake pedal. "How was that!" I exult. "Terrible! It took you one second.

When he had injected 29 patients dying of cancer, had found that the 25 who survived had lost the haggardness typical of cancer victims, and felt positive that a man and a woman had completely recovered from cancer, Dr. Connell decided that he had better describe his work in the Canadian Medical Association Journal to nail his claim of priority...
Friends of the League of Nations are as well pleased as anyone. They exult that agreement has been reached in a major international crisis through the intervention of the Council at Geneva. This argument will doubtless be accepted in the foreign offices and will add immeasurably to the weakened prestige of that body. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that formulas and agreements in principle are as old as modern diplomacy. Throughout the nineteenth century crises of just this sort were smoothed over by just this sort of nobly ambiguous declaration. A common meeting ground for the plentipotentiaries in League headquarters...
