BAPTISTS STIRRED
 BY FOSDICK CALL
FundamentaliSt Branch DiSIikeS
 His Entry Into Church

New York, May 1G,--tATD--A call by the so.called Rockefeller church of the Baptist denomination to the kc". Dr, Harry Emerson Eos dick, long q center Of fundamen- Italist- -modernist controversy among Prosbyterans, seemed destined to- day 10 create a similar stir among | Baptists,
 Announcement yesterday that the | |truStces of the Park Avenue Baptist church had called nr. Fosdick to succeed the Rev. Cornelius Woelfkin was followed Immediately by chal- lengo from the Rev Dr. John Roach 1 Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist church and champion of funda- mcntalism.
 He said that he had long expected some such step ns the result of the doteriorating influence Of great wealth on religion" A protest could be expected from other Baptist churches in New York, he added. John D. Rockefeller. Jr. is one Of the trustees Of the Park Avenue .church Tho trust ocs and the dea- cons have approved startling condi- tions set by Dr, FosdiCk for his aC- ceptance of the call. These stipuia- tons among other things are that the church shall not insist upon the Baptist principle of baptism by i'm mersion; that it shall open it's mem bership for all Christians and move from Park Avenue uptown near Co., lumbia university. building a sky scraper with clubrooms and other features.
 Dr. Woolfkin, who resigned last Sunday on account of age, indorses Dr. Fosdicks conditions. They will be voted on next Friday by the 500 Communicants of the church, and approval is generally expected.
 Dr, Fosdick was forced to resign as associate pastor of the First Presbyterian church of New York when he refused 10 become a mem Der of that faith as demanded by the Presbyterian general assembly.
 He will await action by the as- grmbly next week in Columbus be- fore he gives definite answer to the Baptist offer. Members or the First Presbyterian church have asked the assembly 10 rcinstate him, but he thinks its chances Of doing so are remote and he says he would not re- ; sumo his duties 10 become once more 6 storm center of conflict be. tween fundamentalists and modern ists.
 In connection with Dr Fosdick's , conditions a gift Of S500.o00 by Mir Rockefeller to the Episcopal cathe- Iral Of St. John the Divine is recall n1. Tn making the gift he suggested that aymen other than Episcopal ians bo placed 'on the governing board.
