Separatists

These past many months, the Presbytery of New York--about the only unit in the Presbyterian Church which is predominantly Liberal--has prepared for a series of meetings generally described as "revivals." But two churches, staunchly Fundamental, withdrew from the revival's scope. Said the pastor of one: "We were informed that the Presbyterian ministers of the city would interchange pulpits for two weeks. My session gave that prayerful attention. We concluded unanimously that the time was 'ill-advised.' " Said the pastor of the other: "No, sir! I am not inviting any Modernists up here to give us any of their dry dust."
