...from the site of the Rockefeller-Fosdick Church, another enormous building is going up-the Broadway Temple. Its Methodist pastor-Dr. Christian Reisner-was injured two weeks ago when he coasted on a Flexible Flyer with his son.

Since Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin tendered his resignation as pastor of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, Manhattan, to become president of Union Theologic Seminary (TIME, Nov. 15), his old congregation has been as unhappy as a household with a cook about leave.

...many a Fundamentalist can irk men of reason by simply opposing steadfast faith to inquisitive logic. But Dr. Straton's dogma is not merely steadfast; it is wild and violent. His answers to reasonable inquiry would irritate a St. Francis of Assisi. Dr. Witherspoon Dodge of Atlanta, mild-mannered pastor of the Central Congregational Church, was in the audience. Startled by the Northerner's tone and manner, Dr. Dodge ventured a question on Dr. Straton's interpretation of evolution. Dr. Straton's reply was as the bolt of a self-appointed God of vengeance. Nettled, Dr. Dodge asked another question...
