Archbishop's Brother

The Archbishop of Canterbury is a suave, handsome Anglican who lives in Lambeth Palace, goes yachting with J. P. Morgan, takes tea with George V, signs himself Cosmo Cantuar,* and has a Presbyterian brother who, it was announced last week, is to become moderator of the Church of Scotland.

The late Very Rev. John Marshall Lang, onetime moderator of that "Auld Kirk," had six sons. Cosmo Gordon studied law with a view to entering politics, suddenly changed his mind, entered not his father's church but his King's, rose to be its No.1 prelate. Of his four living brothers, M. (for Marshall) Buchanan Lang, 66, is the only Presbyterian clergyman of the lot. He it was to whom last week the Church of Scotland gave the moderatorship nomination, equivalent to election at the General Assembly next May.

Schooled in Scotland and Germany, Buchanan Lang held pulpits in Aberdeenshire and Dundee, served as chaplain during the War, is now minister of Whittingehame Parish Church. Father of four, he resembles his bachelor brother Cosmo Cantuar in being sparse of hair, strong of feature.

--An Anglican prelate signs his given name to that of his diocese or archdiocese. "Cantuar" is an abbreviation of the ancient Latin name of the diocese of Canterbury.
