End of the world predictions traced through history
A survey of end-of-world prophecies from Montanus in 156 A.D. to later figures is examined in William P. Barker’s Who's Who in Church History. The piece highlights how many predictions failed, and notes Barker's sketches of varied Christian personalities and social contexts influencing them. The article also covers church-state debates over state aid to parochial schools and rising Catholic school enrollments and closures.

Mormons reaffirm ban on Negroes in priesthood
In a worldwide statement issued December 15, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reaffirmed its ban on Black men from priesthood, saying faith matters are not governed by civil law. The document, signed by President David O. McKay and his counselors, cites doctrine from Abraham and notes the policy affects about 200 Negro members. The church stressed equal civil rights while maintaining its theological stance and indicated the statement is for local leaders amid disputes with Stanford University over athletics involving Brigham Young University.
