Announcement of the prize award was made last week while Dr. Ironside's work was on the presses. By the terms of the contest it was a "scholarly, up-to-date, popular treatise" written from a conservative standpoint, Mrs. Shepard being a stout Fundamentalist. Called Except Ye Repent, Dr. Ironside's broadside against sin and irreligion states its thesis thus : "To repent is to change one's attitude toward self, toward sin, toward God, toward Christ." Reason why Harry Ironside forgot the American Tract Society's prize contest was that last summer he spent...
...Jessup Tomlinson, Founder, Bishop and General Overseer of ''The Church of God of A. J. Tomlinson," whose excitable communicants are known to outsiders as ''holy rollers." In Bishop Tomlinson's huge wooden tabernacle at Cleveland, a small East Tennessee town 40 miles southeast of Fundamentalist Dayton, little Founder Tomlinson, 71, brought to a close the liveliest revival meeting in a generation of distributing tracts and organizing holy roller camp meetings among the hillbillies of the Great Smoky Mountains. Some 15,000 of his 100,000 disciples were in Cleveland preaching, praying, yelling, healing each other...
Fortnight ago at its General Assembly in Syracuse, N. Y. the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. formally suspended Rev.

Presbyterians for the next year, the comuiissioners gave 126 votes to a Machenite Fundamentalist, 251 to a Chicago preacher who was supposed to represent the rank & file of the ministry, 508 to an administration wheelhorse of a type that Presbyterians have docilely accepted in recent years-Rev. Dr. Henry Buck Master, 64, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Pensions since 1919. A portly, florid Princeton man (1895) who held pastorates in Buffalo and Fort Wayne, Ind. and went to War as a stretcher-bearer, Dr. Master lives...
Christ's Court. During the past two years, Fundamentalist Machen and a handful of his followers have defied the Presbyterian Assembly by belonging to the Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions (TIME, April 23, 1934, et seq.) Tried and in most cases convicted by local presbyteries, they repeatedly appealed until last week they were before the bar of the Church's highest tribunal- the Assembly, sitting as a "Court of Jesus Christ" and voting upon preliminary decisions made by the Permanent Judicial Commission whose head is Minnesota's Supreme Court Justice Clifford L. Hilton. To the appeals...
