...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. Last week, from a hospital room, he renewed his campaign for $1,500,000 to pay the contractor...
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. The trustees, fed for 22 years on Dr. Coffin's fare of thought, have sought for some young Epictetus to take his place and last week they named their choice...

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...
