Political Briefing for Religious Leaders
Historical Account★★★Several years ago, at a political briefing for religious leaders in Washington, a group of ministers chatted with Jennings Randolph, the senior senator from West Virginia, who had first been elected to Congress in 1933. He was the only remaining member of the Senate or House of Representatives who had been elected in the great landslide that swept Franklin D. Roosevelt into office during the Great Depression. 1J. I.
