...occasion was the celebration of the first Red Mass or Mass of the Holy Ghost ever read in the U. S. Each year in France & England this Mass (differing from the conventional form only in the insertion of added prayers to the Holy Ghost) takes place on the day the courts open. Similarly it was timed last week in Manhattan. Many a non-Catholic barrister sat with the kneeling Catholic Lawyers' Guild,* heard words of good counsel from Jesuit Paul L.

Today lean, brittle Maximilian Harden is the tenant of a grave (TIME, Nov. 7). Doubtless his ghost was in a towering rage, last week; because the fat, poodle-nosed man whom he had called "King Gustav" was quietly celebrating his fifth anniversary as German Foreign Minister.

...rose to conclude the debate with a soft-soapy appeal for TOLERANCE-tolerance of the Book, he appeared to mean. At this crux of debate, the battle of prayers-still raging across the street in Westminster Abbey-reached a climax of Evangelical appeals to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost;* while Anglo-Catholics did not scruple to additionally beseech the Virgin Mary, her mother St. Anne, and many another saint...
