...union, comprising 103 churches. He served with the Y. M. C. A. in France. He was made a member of his church's highest lawmaking body, the General Conference. He edited the Pittsburgh Methodist and wrote The Challenge of Pittsburgh, Tiny Tales of Modern Miracles, Regular Fellows, The Faith of the People's Poet (the late James Whitcomb Riley, personal friend of Dr. Marsh). He preached to "capacity houses," with hundreds being turned from his church door. Now, beginning next month, he will administer the affairs, social, pedagogical and financial, of a city university with 12,000 students...
...December, 1921, the mail order house of Sears, Roebuck & Co., that proud, old firm "founded on a fair profit, a fine organization and the faith of the customer," was in a bad, bad way. The post-War depression and readjustment had nibbled away at inventories and surplus so that earlier that year dividends on common stock had to be suspended. It seemed to President Julius Rosenwald and his associates that, to balance on the year, they would have to write off inventories hugely, pass dividends and even levy on holders of common stock some fraction of their stocks.

...ultimate consequences of this shift of emphasis concerning the individual student will become, if the new tendency is long continued, very extensive.

It goes without saying that a man who has written 78 books on "bridge and other games" could not be a trained scholar. One statement is evidently true: "R. F. Foster is not a theologian." The study of bis face indicates what Plato would call a "keen and narrow intelligence," which was also true of Mephistopheles. While the crass and unbaked author may not have the "slightest desire to go to heaven" nor fear...
...manner orthodox, Mr. Foster is in matter heretical. But even the heresy is simply orthodox agnosticism, which has nourished since science began to reach the masses. Mr. Foster's Coming Faith is simply a belief in the perfectibility of human nature through human intelligence?or, in two words, faith in man, neutrality towards a possible Supreme Power, denial of Christianity. But Mr. Foster would be the last to suggest that his book is a contribution to philosophy. It is written obviously for laymen by a layman...
