OLD DIFFERENCES WILL BE ARGUED World Church Conference to Be Held in August New York, Feb. 4 (UP)—Steps toward realization of the ldeal of church unity are to be considered at the World Conference on Faith and Order in Lausanne, §witzerland, next August, at which differences, some of them 400 years old, between $7 Christian denomoinations, will be discussed. Five hundred churchmen of dif- ferent faiths will come together for | a discussion of their differences for the first time since the break-up in the sixteenth century. They have been divided by matters of doctrine | ot history, of geography and of in- | terpretation. Contemporary clergy- mnen believe that some of them could be avoided. They are joined by lay- men in the belief that the differ- ences seriously hirder the church | of today from fulfilling its mission in the world and that the time has | come to seriously discuss a basis of harmony. Churches in 25 countries will be | represented at che meeting. Each of them is a nation-wide self-gov- | erning church. The Roman Catholic church was invited to the confer- ence but did not accept the invita- tion. The question of the meeting has been alive in the minds of religious organizations since 1910 when Bishop William T. Manning, then rector of Trinity church, New York, introduced 2 resolution at the gen- cral convention of the Protestant Episcopal church at Cincinnati de- claring that the time was ripe for such a gathering. Preparation for the conference las been going on since then. Charles Evans Hughes is chair- man of the American committee which recently raised funds to fi- nance the Lausanne meeting. George Zabriskie, New York attorney, is treasurer. Other members of the committee include George W. Wick- | crman, New York: Clifford W. Barnes, Chicag Robert i'al- coner, Toronto n W. Good- enough, Detroit; Charles E. Kelsey, Boston, and William Cooper Proc- tor, Cincinnati. The continuation committee which is largely responsible for the pro- sress of the movement, is headed by Bishop Charles H. Brent of Buftalo. The first subject of the confer- ence program is the faith of the re- | united church. Creeds, formal and understood, are invclved. Tt is ex-| plained that some churches base | the expression of their faith on a | creed. Others have no formal creed | but, like the Baptists, take the whole | New Testament for their creed. Among the many beliefs it s/ hoped to find a basls for common | understanding on this question. Points of difference in connection | with the practical church organiza- | tion as well as problems concerning the ministry will also be up for cn- sideration. The Sacrament is also a subject on the Lausanne program. Its inter- pretation is fraught with diffisul- ies. Only the two Sacraments of { Baptism and the Lord’s Supper will he discussed. Churches will not be bound by anything done, either by their dele- | gates or by the conference. It is stated that the meeting will be simp | Iy for the purpose of conferring on | the various matters ahd not for| legislativa action, although 1t is| hoped that commerce results in | come later. ' Mushrooms Destroying i Palace of Versaille| Paris, Feb. 4 (—The Versaille palace of kings is threatened by the umbling of its woodwork due to various mushroom growths that science has not yet conquered. A modest old pri\‘s!, the Abbe Bourdot in the village of Saint- Priest-en-Murat, after 42 years,of study, has learned why the Ver- «aille timbers and panels are turn. ing to dust. Other scientists are secking to kill the parasite and rro- tect the wood. So far they have not succeeded. It cost more than - 000,000 francs recently to rep! destroyed wood and make other re- | pairs. The expenditure was made | possible by the ald of John D.
