...more especially, if that heading is found in your Religion column. It was only natural that my curiosity was aroused Behold my surprise when I discovered the name of my onetime prexy and admonisher! I refer to Dr. J. Oliver Buswell Jr., who with his colleague and fundamentalist friend, Dr. J. Gresham Machen, have been battling the Presbyterian Church, due to their affiliation with the Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions. Too bad. that the Judicial Commission of the Presbyterian Church gave Dr. Buswell the break they did. He should have gotten the verdict handed to Dr. Machen-suspension. Then...
...reporters were talking about Fundamentalists-chief subject of conversation in Cincinnati last week as 1,000 commissioners (ministers and elders) gathered for the 147th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. But beyond stressing the obvious point that it would not do to call a Fundamentalist a scoundrel, such libel talk only exaggerated the simple fact that the "Bible-believing" minority of the Presbyterian Church was restless, irritable, unhappy. Well it might be, for it knew that the 147th General Assembly was ready to belabor it and vote it down at every turn...

He was well aware that this and subsequent sermons would be worth exactly $77,296 to his new church, which had called him from Forest Park Presbyterian in Baltimore. That sum was bequeathed to Broadway Church by its longtime Fundamentalist pastor, Rev. Dr. Walter Duncan Buchanan, who died last year, aged 74, worth $1,086,576 which he had largely acquired by marrying into R. G. Dun & Co. (now Dun & Bradstreet). Dr. Buchanan appointed three devout Presbyterians as watchdogs to see that his church should have the $77,296 only...
...first sermon having been satisfactorily Fundamentalist, Pastor McComb last week faced another test-reception by the liberal Presbytery of New York. Gathered in Fifth Avenue Church, 100 laymen and ministers began by cautiously examining Mr. McComb as to his theology and character, so cautiously that one minister chided them all for ''pussyfooting and chasing around the bush." What was in their minds, he knew, was: would Fundamentalist McComb be loyal to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions? Or was he mixed up in that Independent Board which has caused the Presbyterian Church so much trouble? Mr. McComb finally...
