"The Christian Church is distinct groups," said Professor Theodore G. Soares of Chicago in the course of an address on "The Significance of the Fosdick Controversy" at Phillips Brooks House last evening.

"There is a small body of men," he continued, "who call themselves Fundamentalists. They believe that isn't man's business to find the truth, but God's to reveal it. This God has done in the Bible, and nothing that isn't in there, is true.

"There is also another body of men, comparatively limited, who are known as Modernists. They hold the view that man finds God and the meaning of life.

The essential conflict in the church of which the Fosdick controversy is a manifestation, is taking place between these two groups."
