Dr. Bryan, Moderator

William Jennings Bryan is a member of the Presbyterian Church of Miami, Fla. Several presbyteries have made overtures to the General Assembly requesting that Mr. Bryan be appointed Moderator of the Assembly, which meets in Indianapolis on May 17. The avowed object is to precipitate a clash between those who accept evolution, upholding Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick and those who do not. The expressed object is to " exclude from the pulpit of First Presbyterian Church in New York a Baptist preacher [Dr. Fosdick] whose teaching is not in accordance with the Westminster Confession."
