...Coolidge, with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, attended the funeral of Vice Consul Robert W. Imbrie, killed at Teheran, Persia, in July. The body was brought to the U. S. on the cruiser Trenton; services were held at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church and burial took place at Arlington. The Persian charge d'affaires was present and the Persian legation flew its flag at half mast (See PERSIA, Page 11). ¶The President wrote a letter to a convention of the American Mining Congress at Sacramento. He affirmed that: "When all is said and done, the development...
...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.

...sixteenth century. Since every new step in matters of importance is almost certain to crystallize the liberal and conservative tempers of men into rival camps of champions and opponents of the innovation, a sharp division between "Modernist" and "Fundamentalist" has taken place. The leading voices in the Presbyterian general assembly, upholding the existing order, strove to avoid the threatened cleavage in the church, and did not openly denounce the new tendencies. It saw that a tactful request to Dr. Fosdick to accept the Presbyterian articles of faith, or resign his church, would convey a tacit denunciation of those tendencies...
