...five years the First Presbyterian Church of New York City has had a queue of people waiting at its doors long before church time. For five years its pews have been jammed, its aisles utilized wherever possible. Yet not for five years has a Presbyterian preacher been the regular occupant of this popular Presbyterian pulpit. The occupant has been a Baptist all this time, a member of the Faculty of Union Theological Seminary, Manhattan, whom the church invited in 1919 to serve as special preacher.

When Lord Lister, about 50 years ago, brought forward his theory of antiseptic treatment in operations, the Presbyterian was among the first hospitals to adopt it, as it was also among the first to introduce medical social service and visiting nurse work. Its present abode, antiquated and inadequate, was erected in 1892. Now it will launch a drive?the first public appeal it has ever made?to complete the building fund...
