...Service, as I do at our German Communion, he chases me on the organ, keeping about one note behind me. Should intoning be accompanied? He wants to play fancy chords while I read the Scripture Lessons, and I find it hard to stop him. What shall I do?-Despairing Pastor. Answer: You have a problem. Organists with insufficient training like to do those things. The flip of the finger over several keys, known as glissando, has been popularized by the radio comedians Jake and Lena, and organists devoid of taste are doing it in church.

Bravely chanting the Protestant youth hymn ending "Ever Faithful to God!" the adolescents marched out of the church, attempted to parade. Menaced by brawny Prussian police, they rolled up their banners, put away their band instruments, scurried home. Priests had been sent to prison camps, despite the fact that Chancellor Hitler is nominally a Catholic. Not to be downed, the Catholic Bishop...

(pop.: 10,326), home of Senator Hattie Caraway, two years ago it took National Guardsmen, armed with machine guns and tear bombs, to avert a pitched battle between two factions of Baptists (TIME, Sept. 21, 1931). Later two resolute evangelists each sought to become fulltime pastor of Jonesboro's Baptist Tabernacle. Last September Rev. Joe Jeffers and Rev. Dale S. Crowley were arrested for fistfighting. When Evangelist Jeffers installed a follower of his as Tabernacle janitor, Evangelist Crowley countered by obtaining a court order conceding the Tabernacle's pastorate to himself.
