DR. W. H. GREEVER SPEAKS TO Y.M.C.A. Professor of Columbia Lutheran Seminary Talks on "Church Federation" DISCUSSES CHURCH UNION Reason For Divisions in Christ endom Given by Dr. Greever "While there are so many divisions im the Christian church today, the ;,pirit of those who differ is very dif ferent from that of those of a few generationss ago," declared Dr. W. H. Greever, pastor of the Lutheran church of the Ascension and professor of Co lumbia Lutheran Seminary, in a speech .t the "Y" meeting last Sunday .iight on "Church Federation." Reasons why Christendom is divided were given by the speaker in two classes, incidental and basic. Influence of strong personalities, political forces, and race consciousness and clannish nwss were the main reasons given un tier the first; while the basic reasons were given as )eing due to differences in intellectual conceptions of God. "A conception of God as an absolute sovereign," continued the speaker," makes for an orderly and personal life and if we think of himi as such our lives will be governed by him." There were several things given as being hinderances to church union. "Superficial, sentimental, and artificial views" on the subject, along with stub born and superstitious adherence to tradition were given as the most im portant. "Church union implies a visible ex ternal organization." asserted . Dr. Greever. "while church uiity, more important, mens unity of faith and understanding." These facts, he explained. niake up t.ne of the most important and pract ical sul)jects in American lives today -a suhject which deals with that which is most vital in our present and future lives. Accordig to the speake-r. there is more unity in the churches of Christ 01ndom than is generally recognized. .and there are still several chief forces working toward I niore union. The professional unionists who have been working for union all of their lives were declared to be one of the great est. but were said to be too broad in their views. Even with this fitult, the speaker made clear their efforts were very valtable and their group the most promising of any. -usc Kennedy to Speak To Kosmos Club Sat.
