(Tfc fI1w!a rlimDM at Kv York eknrrt laacaa wmV written for the Hew SUUnMB by Kanmath MeCoraick. ow tavif ia tk MtropoH. Mr. M eCormiek U sradiiftia f Willamette Bnivrttty.) By Ken McCormlck ' One is never 'surprised to see a crowd Jamming its way into a theatre but M is always something a bit different to se one Sight ing to get into a chnreh. There are a surprising number of re ligious services here that are ob served before audiences which fairly overflow the limits of the churches. Going to church among a certain class seems, not only a pleasure but often times in the nature of a contest to see who can get tn. To hear Harry Emerson Fos dlek at the Park avenue Baptist church requires an early rising and considerable wire palling In the way of getting tickets. Those who come to Sunday school are rewarded with tickets that admit them to the auditorium - for church. Going to church, there resembles nothing I know of so much as rushing the gallery at the old Grand in Salem. Fosdlck Keen Man The effort is worth it, how ever. Fosdlck is a keen man who holds an audience. Sunday after Sunday, that Would otherwise be more or less shifty. His messages go to a very critical eongrega tlon. A few weeks' popularity would not be strange. Years of the same thing have made skep tics wonder whether he isn't more than some have thought. To hear him is to know that he is great The mnsic Is as good as can be found In a protestant church; out side the Episcopal, which Tatter holds all honors for church mu sic In the city. In Brooklyn S. Parks Cadman continues to hofd his church which earlier reports denied upon his acceptance of radio duties. No more outspoken man holdfl a pulpit here than John Roach I Stratton who preaches against Smith, night clubs, the mayor, and others. One worries to know what he'd do if everyone became suddenly straight. His negative is far more evident than his posi tive. Bread Line First Dealing in ppposltes, one can find the Outcasts' Mission down on South street by the East river a carbon copy of seores like it here. It serves a great class of men, who like the sandwiches served there but after all, are more interested in where the next meal will come from than where they will spend eternity. St Patrick's cathedral standa on Fifth aven e along ona of its busiest sections and offers a sud den transition from noise and shoppers. Aside from its religious attributes it offers a few minutes in tbe old world, for the architect ure is. excellent. Rest in Okl Tower At the head of Wall street is New York's land mark, the Wool worth tower of 1850. No. one ha peen the city In those days unless he had toiled to the top of the Trinity Episcopal steeple and viewed the harbor and looked down upon the buildings about. Since that time It has been sub merged by skyscrapers. There" Is a sentiment expressed there that appeals to business men. It has stnek to its position when others have fled uptown. Noon hours find it filled with Wall street brokers and heads of concerns who stop there for a moment's Qiet and rest perhaps thought. One need never go to Jerusalem for synagogues. New York with Its .immense; Jewish population naturally has numbers of them. Among the most Interesting is the Free Synagogue which holds its services at Carnegie hall and is guided by tbe renowned Rabbi Wise. Rabbi Wise Attracts With a voice like Barrymore's, with a personality that doesn't ned to even speak to make itself felt, and with a mind that sees Gentile and Jew as both belong ing to the race of Man, he attracts! a great congregation each Sunday , to hear tbe choir sing Jewish ser vices that only a Jewish choir could sing, and more especially to hear the same result of his week's thought. In a lesser man his strength would be a weakness he can make anything seem vital. But he Is too big for that. He is not shouting (or his own little in terpretation, his own sense of the thing. No one need observe a blue Sunday here. It Is noUJhat the churches have thrown out enough bait to draw large congregations who, after they have devoured it, must out of a sense of respect sit through that which it was the original intention to give. Noth ing is more destructive finally bomehow one feels that he is missing something If he is not present. And one thing more. I'm afraid it's a western hallucination that nun avenue cnurches never rec ognize the new people in the au dlence. I have yet . to attend church here when several, entire ly unknown to me. haven't greet ed me most cordially. And I don't think they were on salary to do it, either. announced.
