SEATTLE, Wash. July 6.-A Sc.
ries of all-day religiousN meetings
marked the close of the nineteenth

Although the funda mentalist mod
ernist controversies were alluded to
ance, in sermon by Rev. DIR. w. A.
Abernethy of Washington, D. c., the
last hours of the convention were
closed in Sabbath peace and contrast
ed sharply with the turbulent sessions
of the five days which preceded.
Fundamentalists lost two principal
engagements during the sessions. The
effort to unseat delegates from the
Park Avenue Baptist Church in New
York because of modernist tendencies
with which the church was charged
was defeated by q decisive vote. A
concilia tory resolution directed to the
Baptist Mission Board asking it care
fully to guard the mission fields re-
placed an edict asked by the con-
servatives calling for the withdra wal

combination of quick fire humor sell
dom found in the big New York re-

songs. dances. ridiculous situations
and costumes that would make Zieg-

pretty lassies, playing the piano in

The quick fire comedians, Ed and
