A recrudescence of the fundamentalist-modernist controversy will take place at the second Symposium, scheduled by the Phillips Brooks House for Thursday evening.
Dr. John Roach Straton, a leading fundamentalist from the Calvary Baptist Church of New York City will exchange opinions about the origin of man with Professor K. F.
