Description: Originally produced by Pathe and re-edited in 1936 for this series. Comparison of three of the most beautiful Gothic churches in the world—the oldest and the newest, with stunningly gorgeous stained glass windows. Notre Dame in Paris with its grotesque sculpture, and the Riverside Church in New York. We see close-ups of detail of buttresses, towers and portals while choral music comes from the chancery. Harry Emerson Fosdick explains the aim and purpose of modern Christianity.
