President Coolidge tuay have had nothing to do with the oil scandal, probably he did not have, but so long as hi.; business is transacted by C. Bascom Stemp and his confidence is given to Ned McLean. Jack Adams and others of that kind, he wttl be suspected and criticised. it is said upon good authority that Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, will run for president on a third ticket, (■dependent republican. It means something for you who figure it a joke will be badly upset by elcctloa returns, lie will not only get many thousand votes but he will probably have the eb-ctoral vote from several of the northwestern states.

Flashlights of Famous People

f Face to Face With ■ Harry Emerson Fosdick I Eloquent New York Exponent 1 Os Modernism In Religious 1 Beliefs i By Joe Mitchell Chapple 1 The crowds were gathering at the ' church nigh unto the borders of Greenwich Village, New York. The people gathered early in the morning and were lined far up the street. The side chape! and galleries were filled and many were standing. The choir < was singing, but all eyes were centered on the man sitting in the center of the row ou the pulpit platform. The people were crowding even to the altar steps—to hear his words. His immobile face, all during the reading of the service, little indicated toe passion of the orator. This little figure with the shock of black hair began to speak with peculiar gestures us if analyzing and dissecting the subject before him. When he paused to refer to the reconci la tiou of ecclesiastical cynicism with that of the gospel , of hope with the picture of the life of St. Paulryou began to feel the thrill. , “As a boy I was sent to gather her-! ries on my birthday. Reluctant and' unwilling I started towards the task given me by my mother. I resented | ( working on my birthday. Then the thought came to me. I will pick two ( quarts of berries and surprise my , mother.” i, And he did. In this incident of his 1 1 life was reflected the philosophy of Harry Emerson Fosdick. He lives in ( the life of today. Sometimes he feels j that he is misunderstood in his ar ! , dor and zeal in preaching the gospel ( of today. As his little body swung to and fro' ; on the pulpit high above almost on a' ( level with the galleries, Harry Fosdick was the evangelist, and little was i left to suggest the critical. , Harry Emerson Fosdick is a preach- 1 er, pure and simple, and he has a mcg- i sage that rings with conviction. There was not a person in that room that i did not feel better as they passed out into the sunlight on Fifth Avenue I with his words ringing in their ears. "Remember there are two things—clean misfortune or honest purpose that seek no ill to mankind. Many I things that seem like good and true 1 living according to the rules is not virtue. It is the purpose that Reel Editors Note: Send ten names of yoi Joe Mitchell Chapple, The Attic, Wald 7he_readera_of th‘s paper are to i Is some way in which the game can be made less strenuous and just as interroting.

Rf w 1* J wj ■ < X A. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK says: “Thers are many men resting under the stigma of crime whose hearts are winter than those who condemn.” iu the heart—the outpouring of lovo to others that joins the world iu love. Everything is done for love and the man who cannot found his religious faith on naught else is a failure. “.Many who have lived apparently sinlcss lives are, after all, the greatest sinners. They have not loved. Many wb6 have done things that may not seem to accord with the belief of others are at heart pure and undefiled. There are many men resting tinder the stigma of crime whose heartt are whiter than those who condemn.” Harry Fosdick was born in Buffalo and very early wandered away as a' vagrant, in fact as a hobo, resisting* all the entreaties of home ties; but I with all this aspect of Vagabondia. he was going forward with his interpretation of God's mission. As professor of practical in the Union Theological Seminary, he has touched the lives of many ■ young men entering the ministry. Even that night, tired as he was, he was * going to preach for Newton Dwight Hillis, who was stricken iu the church I of Henry Ward Beecher. Although ordained to the Baptist ministry and preaching in a Baptist church in Worcester and Montclair, New Jeraey, he has made tin* Presbyterian church on Fifth Avenue famous. The church is a combination of several churches in the neighborhood and was formerly occupied by Dr. Parkhurst. Harry Fosdick is an exponent of Modernism. ni» convictions sm-m to indicate a faith in Fundamentalism, j but with fundamentals as something that reflect* the belief of the modern-1 Ist*.
