OLD DIFFERENCES
 WILL BE ARGUED
World Church Conference to Be
 Held in August

New York, Feb. CUP)-Steps toward realization of the ideal of church unity are to be considered at the World Conference on Faith and Order in Lausanne. Switzerland, next August, at which differences, some of them 400 years old, between S7 Christian denominations will be discussed.
 Five hundred churchmen of diff ferent faiths will come together for discussion of their differences for the first time since the breakup in tho sixteenth century. They have been divided by matters of doctrine of history, of geography and of in- depreciation. Contemporary clergy men believe that some of them could be avoided. They are joined by lay men in the belief that the differ ences seriously hir der the church of today from fulfilling it's mission in the world and that the time has come to seriously discuss a basis of harmony.
 Churches in 26 countries will be represented at the meeting. Each of them is 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 a resolution at the gen. eral convention of the Protestant Episcopal church at Cincinnati de- claring that the time was ripe for such 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 erman, New York: Clifford w. Barnes. Chicago: Sir Robert 1al- coner, Toronto; Luman w. Good enough, Detroit; Charles F. Kelsey, Boston, and William Cooper Proc tor, Cincinnati.
 The continuation committee which is largely responsible for the pro- gress of the movement, is headed by Bishop Charles H. Brent of Buffalo.
 Lo rc$ c,,l,j nf hn ence program is the faith of the re- united church. Creeds, formal and understood, are involved. It 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 1t is hoped to find a basis for common understanding on this question.
 Points of difference in connection with the practical church organiza- ton as well as problems concerning the ministry will also be up for e IT, sideration.
 The Sacrament is also subject on the Lausanne program. It's inter- pretation is fraught with difficul- ties. Only the two Sacraments Of Baptism and the Lords Supper will be 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 ly for the purpose of conferring on the various matters and not for legislative action, although 1t is hoped that commerce results ill come later.
