...Presbyterian Church of Collingswood, N. J., a quiet commuters' town near Philadelphia, is worth $250,000. For five years this church's pastor was Rev. Carl Mclntire, 31, a boyish, athletic Oklahoman who was one of Dr. Machen's star pupils at Princeton Theological Seminary, followed him into the rebel Presbyterian Church in America. All but 100 of Collingswood's 1,200 Presbyterians went along with their eloquent pastor in his Fundamentalist beliefs, but they stopped short of becoming full-fledged constituents of the rebel Church. When a handful of loyal members of the church brought...
Sadly two Sundays ago Collingswood's zealous Fundamentalists held their last evening service in the big stone church, sang Faith of Our Fathers on the lawn as its lights flicked out. They showered money upon Pastor Mclntire to do with as he pleased. Few days later Mr. Mclntire helped workers put up a rented tent ($250 a week), announced his first service in it for last week, declared that his congregation would have a wooden tabernacle within a few months.

The news tickers at No. 10 were chattering about...

At the time Harney's violently syncopated pianism, which according to contemporaries "could be heard for blocks around," was regarded as a passing fad. But it caught on so rapidly that by 1897 Harney was encouraged to publish his Rag-Time Instructor, first pedagogical treatise on the art of ragtime, now a collector's item...
...March American Lutheran: "When the pastor sits in the Sanctuary during the course of the service he ought to behave in a seemly manner. Lounging, leg-crossing, nose-picking, yawning should be postponed to the hours of relaxation in the parsonage. Most of our pastors are robed, and while they are thus solemnly attired personal mannerisms should be completely under control. Their sanctuary habits should be impeccable...
