...many ways the keynote of Dr. Guthrie's career, for he has always been more of an artist than a theologian (for some years he was an itinerant lecturer on literature), and as much of an individualist as an artist. Because the life tenure of an Episcopalian rector can be terminated only for grave cause, and because he was careful never to set down any of his indiscreet utterances in print, he weathered all the storms that blew around his bushy locks...
...requests but reported "progress." Since then it has been meeting regularly in Member Glenn's offices to prepare a thoroughgoing recommendation to lay before the convention which will be held in Cincinnati in October. When the commission released its report last week, it gave many a right-thinking Episcopalian a ruder jolt than he expected. To Canon 41 the commission recommended a simple amendment: "Any person whose former marriage has been dissolved for any cause by a civil court may, after the expiration of one year from the granting of the divorce, apply to the bishop...
...Catholic has ever been elected President of the U. S. Only two Catholics have ever been appointed Chief Justice (Roger B. Taney and Edward D. White) and only one sits on the U. S. Supreme Court today (Pierce Butler). Only Catholic in Episcopalian Franklin Roosevelt's Cabinet is Postmaster General Farley.

"It is possible that as many as 60% to 70% of the 14,000 doctors in the metropolitan area are engaged in this pernicious practice of splitting fees. Best evidence we have of this is the vote taken last month by the Kings County Medical Society, when 579 out of 770 doctors voted against establishing a law to stop the practice...
...Bishop Higgins was made Assistant Bishop of the New York and Philadelphia Synod, a confusing title since he will actually run the Synod, assisting no one. Episcopal mainly in that it uses the Prayer Book with "high" elements deleted, the Reformed Church was founded in 1873 by a discontented Episcopalian, Rev. George David Cummins. It invites all comers to Holy Communion, considers its bishops merely "head presbyters," no more potent than other priests. A typical, evangelical Reformed Episcopalian is Bishop Higgins, who acquired a touch of Presbyterianism at Princeton Seminary, whither he went after attending Columbia and the Reformed Episcopal...
