...United Evangelical church in Canton, Ohio, in 1905. From then on, his life as a minister of the Gospel and a servant of man were inextricably interwoven. During the '20s, he was probably the nation's most popular radio preacher, and for eight years he was pastor of Manhattan's prestigious Marble Collegiate Church-a post now held by his friend and disciple, Norman Vincent Peale. Poling also served for a time as head of the J. C. Penney Foundation, which supported such charitable institutions as orphanages and homes for the aged. He also traveled widely through...

...Your Essay "How America Drinks" [Dec. 29] was enlightening and encouraging to me as a nondrinker of the dry Baptist tradition, and a pastor at that. However, I'd like to be assured that "the average American knows how to handle his liquor" and his powerful car on a crowded highway as well.
