Interview. "Most of our theologians are jast not speaking tft term! 'to explain the questions that modern Americans are asking, ift ways that they can understand. "We can't satisfy them with the old jargon." Lueders, of Haddonfield, N.J., a deliberative, white-haired man, who combines a bent both for letters and practicality, said the basic gospel truths are just as applicable and relevant today as they were in any bygone period. "But we've lost the standard fot getting them through to our particular age, and we've got to find it again," he said. "The churches are gradually waking up to this, but it's already striking twelve."
