...Moderator of the National Council of Christian & Congregational Churches, spry, bearded old Statistician Roger Ward Babson, two months ago received a troubled letter from Rev. Theodore C. Hume of Chicago and 14 other Congregational ministers. Mr. Hume and his colleagues wanted to know if Mr. Babson had told his businessmen subscribers, in a special letter of his Babson's Reports, that U. S. churches have accumulated "useless customs and cobwebs"? Had he further remarked that the German Government in emphasizing a creed based on "four simple but vital foundations" (Faith, Blood, Sacrifice, Love) "may be taking a forward step...

One of the ablest was a handsome fellow named Walter M. Barr whose specialty was rich old ladies...
...feminists than the Congregational-Christian Church. They have long ordained women to its ministry and of their 37 conference superintendents, whose jurisdiction is comparable to that of a bishop, one is female, Mrs. David E. Brown of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Though the No. 1 Congregationalist is Statistician Roger Babson, moderator of the Church's General Council, an honorary moderator is Dr. Mary Emma Woolley, retiring president of Mount Holyoke College. Last week female Congregationalists glowed with pride when they heard that one of their sex had been elected to be Congregationalist Babson's opposite number in South...
