Trumpets tore the night air. Into New Orleans' City Park Stadium, where 65,000 Roman Catholics knelt, moved a ''Eucharistic chariot"-a large float, draped in burgundy and gold fabrics, bearing the kneeling figure of George William Cardinal Mundelein, Archbishop of Chicago, and for this occasion a papal legate in a gold mitre and cloth of gold cope. Be fore him stood a tall ostensorium worth $35,000, an altar vessel made of gold objects, diamonds and other jewels donated last winter by thousands of Louisiana Catholics...
...Paris a year ago last July, in the Vélodrome d'Hiver and the Parc-des-Princes, gathered 75,000 young people whose berets and uniforms, naming torches and fluttering banners made them look like any horde of young Communists, Nazis or Fascists. But they knelt before a cross, and the good grey Archbishop of Paris, Jean Cardinal Verdier, said to them: "You have sworn to effect that miracle upon which in our timidity we had no longer counted." The 75,000 were Jocists, members of JOC (Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne-Christian Working Youth), celebrating...
...gates by a chauffeur, alights, places a bunch of red roses on Valentino's tomb, dabs daintily at her eyes with a black-bordered handkerchief, departs. Last year there came also an old man with a beard, a grey skull cap and a staff of yellow ribbons, who knelt and prayed, then played The Sheik of Araby on a mouth organ. On the Valentino anniversary last week, photographers swarmed around the Hollywood Cemetery like bees on jam. One Woman in Black was waiting when the gates opened.

In 1,500 churches in Nebraska and Iowa, loudspeakers broadcast those words while 50,000 Methodists knelt and partook of the Lord's Supper. Bishop Oxnam explained that this broadcast, first of its kind, would enable Methodists to take Communion in small outlying churches whose pastors, not fully ordained, are not privileged to give it. Thus Bishop Oxnam's broadcast was a logical extension of a modern Protestant idea: that the minister's work may well be widened...
...waning strength, brough aged Pope Pius XI into St. Peter's in Rome for his first public appearance this year. With his doctor hovering nearby the Holy Father sat for two-and-one-half hours on the pontifical throne, looked well, if thin, and spoke clearly. Before him knelt three consistorial lawyers, pleaders for three saints whose visages and deeds the people beheld upon great banners in St. Peter's-Andre Bobola, Polish Jesuit (1592-1657), Giovanni Leonardi Italian founder of a religious congregation (1541-1609), Salvador da Horta (1520-67), humble Spanish Franciscan lay brother.
