will participate in the Union Ser
vice which ia la charge of the

This service will commemorate
the beginning of the Protestant Re
formation. All Protestantism looks
to this period of religious history
as the modern beginning of their
beliefs, when Christiaai\ leaden
led the urgings of their conscienc
es to break away from practices in
the church of that day which they
considered contrary to the true
worship of God in spirit.
The date of October 31 for Re
formation Day is in observance of
the posting of the famous Ninety
Five Theses on the church door
in Wittenburg, Germany by Mar
tin Luther. This date marks the
beginning of the actual successful
challenge to the practices of that
time which were corrupt.
Almost all the churches with
which the average inhabitant of
this area stem from the Reforma
tion movement which is observed
in this season.
Professor Greenholdt is consid
ered eminently qualified in Re
formation history. He is a gradu
ate of Gettysburg Theological
Seminary and holds the doctorate
degree in hlabyy from the Univer
sity of Chicago.
