...himself thoroughly talked about in the press. For St. Marks, most of whose socialite parishioners long ago moved to more fashionable districts, Dr. Guthrie feared the fate of certain London churches which he said are obliged to pay people to attend worship. He delved in the mysteries of non-Christian worship, had Parsees, Chinese, Amerindians conduct their rituals in his church. He invited people like Dancers Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis, Poet Amy Lowell, Actresses Helen Menken and Eva Le Gallienne, Astrologist Evangeline Adams, to speak at afternoon or evening services. But when, on St. Nicholas...

When plans for the permanent tomb had finally been agreed on, the corpse vanished for 18 months into the recesses of the Kremlin. At last in 1930 the new mausoleum was completed...
...purged of those who did not believe as they did. In the pulpit of Manhattan's First Presbyterian Church was preaching Baptist Harry Emerson Fosdick. In a famed sermon entitled Shall the Fundamentalists Win? Dr. Fosdick dared to point skeptically to analogs of miracles and virgin births in non-Christian religions.

Later Presbyterian William Jennings Bryan became the great lay leader of Fundamentalism, carrying his crusade to the little Tennessee mountain town of Dayton. There the Lion of the Lord treated the entire...
