A., in Philadelphia a famed and zealous Fundamentalist geared for action. Dr. John Gresham Machen professes to believe he is persecuted by a "Modernist Machine" in power in the church.

Gresham Machen of Philadelphia, tried, convicted and suspended for disturbing the peace within his church (TIME, April 8 et ante).
