...Irish-born Scottish Presbyterian named Rev. Francis Makemie journeyed to the Colonies, at the earnest request of Marylanders who had not enough ministers. Presbyterianism had been recognized, under the Act of Religious Toleration, as a sect against which no derogatory remarks were to be made. Up & down the seaboard there were scattered churches of ''Dissenters." none of them orthodox. (Two are still extant, in Hempstead and Jamaica, L. I., the former being the first U. S. church to bear the name Presbyterian.) Pioneer Makemie organized in Maryland the first five truly Presbyterian churches. In Philadelphia...
...United States becomes once more amusedly interested in Cuba Libre. And it is likely to remain so, for Cuba has now been torn into such utterly discordant groups that plenty of trouble can be expected. The island has a powerful labor movement on one side, an intermediate Fascist sect, an army divided amongst itself, and in the background American interests which are sure to intervene if the workers on the coast and in the interior approach political control and confiscate "American" property.

Shinto ("The Way of the Gods") is Japan's indigenous religion, a ceremonial system of nature-worship and ancestor-worship. It contains little of theology save belief in immortality, but acquired a religious guise during its long subordination to Buddhism. There are two forms...
