...guests of his Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League to Champion Human Rights* examples of Nazi tricks to evade the boycott. On a glove wrathfully displayed by Lawyer Untermyer the words "Made in Germany" appear only on the inner surface of one finger tip. Holding up a doll, Boycotter Untermyer cried : "You have to undress this lady to determine the country of her origin. That is not very nice. The stamp 'Made in Germany' is under her dress. Such tactics are smuggling!" To put the anti-Nazi efforts further on a non-sectarian plane, Gentile James G. McDonald...
...Premier Manuel Azana has for two years led his Socialist Coalition Government in a rapid renovation of Spain's semifeudal society, steeped in piety, vised by the landowners. He was determined that no one should stop him until he had accomplished two things: 1) the substitution of non-sectarian schools for the Catholic Church schools that have taught Spaniards all they know for half a millennium; 2) the dispossession of the great grandee landowners.

When nursing of the poor was confined to sloppy free dispensaries and sectarian organizations, she founded a visiting nurse service, encouraging self-respecting people to pay for it when they could. Today Henry Street has a staff of 274, with 21 centres, a theatre, play school, music school, summer camps. Miss Wald has raised some $500,000 a year for the work. Because...
...Sectarianism is a lasso to trip up and hobble high church and low church Episcopalians. In 1929 Bishop William Thomas Manning stoutly refused to permit a Christian Unity League service in St. George's Church, Manhattan, because Presbyterian Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin was to have helped officiate. Bishop Manning and other strict Episcopalians hold tightly to Apostolic Succession, refusing to accept sacraments administered by other sectarians. Year ago in St. Louis Cathedral was held another Christian Unity League service. Genial Bishop Frederick Foote Johnson (called "Shorty" because he is towering tall) and his Liberal Bishop Coadjutor William Scarlett were...
