...this struggle came into the open. Chicago traditionally has a High-Church bishop, though its richest parishes (St. Chrysostom's, St. James's, St. Paul's in Chicago; Holy Spirit, Lake Forest; Christ, Winnetka) are Low-Church. High-Church candidate was a handsome monk, the Right Rev. Spence Burton, Suffragan Bishop of Haiti. Low-Church candidate was a handsome rector, Dr. Dudley Scott Stark of St. Chrysostom's. In 17 ballots, neither could muster a majority. Nor could a middle-reader, Dr. Harold L. Bowen of St. Mark's, Evanston...

For no obvious reason, eminent Surgeon W. Wayne Babcock of the medical school jumped into the fray with countercharges. Their cat-&-dog fight was joined by Dean Parkinson, Realtor-Trustee Albert Monroe Greenfield, perennial storm centre of Philadelphia business...
Thus Newsman Hartzell Spence describes his father's first parish in One Foot in Heaven: The Life of a Practical Parson (Whittlesey House; $2.50). The Rev. William H (for nothing) Spence was a Methodist minister who in 30 years of pastorates in Iowa, Colorado and Nebraska never left a parish with less than a 25% net increase in its membership. You seemed to hear an organ playing Onward, Christian Soldiers when he came into the room...
