Noah's Ark

>Three World War I heroes--winners of the D.S.O.--were appointed to Church of England bishoprics. One of them, the new Lord Bishop of Newcastle, the Rt. Rev. Noel Baring Hudson, was a temporary brigadier general at 23--the youngest in the war. Later he was ordained, served as missionary bishop in Borneo.

>A Yiddish New Testament--the first ever printed in the U.S.--was published by the United Lutheran Church, sold out most of a first edition of 25,000 copies before publication.

>The Army announced a tabulation of religious preferences showing 59% of all U.S. soldiers are Protestants, 31% Catholics, 2% Jewish and 8% of no denomination. Comparable breakdown for the 55,807,366 church members listed in the latest (1936) official U.S. religious census: 55% Protestant, 37% Catholic, 8% Jewish.
