Fosdick's Pulpit

Down will come some apartment houses and private dwellings near the Union Theological Seminary on Riverside Drive, Manhattan. Up will go a temple. The tearing down and the building up will be largely financed by John. Davison Rockefeller Jr. In the temple will be a pulpit. And in the pulpit will be Harry Emerson Fosdick.*

These were things easily foreseen from the fact that the Riverside property had been conveyed last week to the Empire Mortgage Co., a Rockefeller bag.

*Dr. Fosdick last spring accepted the pastorate of the Park Avenue Baptist Church on conditions that would permit an "inclusive membership" and the building of a church edifice seating 2,500 near Union Theological Seminary, one of whose luminaries he is (TIME, May 25).
