...crucifer and four churchmen in hot black cassocks carrying Christian flags, a parade formed one evening last week near the grave of famed Evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody on Round Top near East Northfield, Mass. Missionaries, laymen, church delegations, Bible students, nationals in native costume and two Salvation Army bands-2,000 people in all-marched down to the small New England town. They carried placards: BUILD FRIENDSHIP, NOT BATTLESHIPS-ADMIT JAPANESE ON THE QUOTA BASIS - RELIGION RENOUNCES...
Slogan of the convention was "We Choose Christ." This conviction caused 27-year-old Clyde Grubbs, Texas evangelist, to work his way on a caboose to Toledo, then hitchhike to Philadelphia. Jack Grosvenor, 19, bummed rides from Council Bluffs, Iowa, was robbed of his last $10 in Pennsylvania, pushed on penniless. A boy from Buffalo pedaled wearily to Philadelphia on a bicycle, arriving three days late. Most delegates from out-of-town arrived by automobile, were put up by local Christian Endeavorers. They arose at 7 a. m., gathered in Convention Hall for an early "Quiet Hour" of Scriptural reading...
Imperceptibly the silver-haired, silver-tongued Evangelist-politician's popularity has ebbed away.

Amplifying this last week, Lecturer Anderson said he might be called a Christian Scientist, psychologist, evangelist or Baptist, "but I do not claim to be any of these. I simply believe in the lessons of Jesus Christ." Asked if he thought he could become President of the U. S. simply by believing in it, he parried: "Ah! If! If I believed it! But I would not believe that. A woman in London asked me whether if she believed she were Queen Mary she would be Queen Mary. I said yes, that there was only one sane woman in England...
...Voice of Experience is actually the voice of "Doctor" Marion Sayle Taylor, son of a retired evangelist who was born on the Louisville plantation whence came Old Taylor Whiskey. After a false start toward the ministry, young Taylor went to Pacific University but decided not to get the medical degree he wanted. The title of "Doctor" was applied to him years later at the suggestion of William Jennings Bryan when he was already well known as an adviser to the lovelorn. Orator Bryan suggested that Taylor call himself "Doctor of Matrimony." Scrupulously ethical in his radio addresses, Taylor is careful...
