mayer. 16-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Otto Frohnmayer, 1656

summer as an exchange student
under the American Field Serv

The Mail Tribune asked him
before he left to write a series
of articles on his experiences,
several of them concerning
churches and religion. Following
Is his first communication con
cerning this field of life abroad.)
Molln in Lauenburg, Germany,
July 11, In these past few
weeks I have seen and heard
much about churches and re
ligion that was new to me. Since
there were 769 young people
together on the ship, my first
contact with churches away from
home was during the 11 days at
sea. We had many good oppor
tunities to learn about other
faiths and beliefs, as there was
a panel discussion or an open
forum on a different religion
each day.
In addition, on both Sundays,
church services were held for
Protestant, Catholic, Jewish
arii Morman faith. Every even
ing there was a vesper service
for Protestants and a Rosary for
Catholics.
It is perhaps interesting to
point out that all of these re
ligious discussions and services
were organized completely by
the young people on board.
I had always expected the
Europeans to be very devout
and faithful church goers; but
when we arrived In Dusseldorf,
Germany, for an overnight stay
before continuing on our jour
ney, a surprise awaited me.
I stayed with another boy in
the home of an artist-teacher.
His son, Hajo, will be an ex
change student to the U.S. next
fall, and as he speaks good
English we had a chance to ask
him about the church in Ger
many. Unlike America, there are
only two churches. Catholic and
Protestant (Lutheran). Hajo told
me that in Germany church life
is not as important as in the
United States. Apparently, the
church Is old-fashioned and, in
his words, "not alive." He told
me that what the people hear
in the church, they have heard
before; this may be due to the
fact that many pastors in Ger
many are not very good he
used the word "primitive."
He went on to say that a per
son many times has more faith
if he doesn't hear the sermons
than a faithful church-goer does.
Hajo also explained that men of
cience often disagree with some
parts of the Bibl, and because
of this, all religion is discarded.
These men, Hajo said, think only
a child can have a faith, because
a child doesn't know science.
All of these things were very
new to me and so I inquired if
perhaps the church was looked
upon in this manner because of
persecution by Adolf Hitler. He
replied that to the contrary, war
years were the most successful
for the church because it had
something to live for, and grew
under the attacks made upon it
by the Nazis. These many dif
ferent views on churches were
quite surprising to me, but it
must be remembered that I talk
ed to only one person, and per
haps his facts are not completely
accurate. Nevertheless, he is a
sincere Protestant; so he prob
ably has valid information.
The church buildings through
out the nation are very beautiful,
as well as quite old. All towns
are dominated by church spires,
and Molln, the town I am living
in. is quite typical. The church
here dates back to about the
year 1300, and in it is buried
Till Eulenspiegel, who was a
(jamous jester and wise man in
early Germany.
It is very interesting to note
many of the styles of architec
ture in the older churches. In
Ratzeburg. a town not far from
here, is a Protestant church.

vised men and women moving
to the front of Madison Square
Garden as evangelist Billy Gra

"accept Christ."
Forty years ago Billy Sunday
urged New Yorkers to "hit the
sawdust rail," and they came in
even larger numbers. But the
effects of the Billy Sunday meet
ings have long ago disappeared,
and it seems likely the Billy
Graham revival may have a
similar transiency. Mass - pro
duced conversions fail to endure
the test of time.

see the old Roman style, and as
the church was enlarged, Gothic

It is a pity that many many

by-one conversions which take
place through the churches
amount to more than three mil
lions each year, renewing a
Christian community of nearly
100 million each generation,
without fanfare or excitement
and with a minimum of loss and
disillusionment.
BelieTes In Conversion
Right off I must make it clear
that my skepticism concerning
the value of mass evangelism
docs not mean I am skeptical
concerning the importance of re
ligious conversion. Real conver
sion is not only possible; it takes
place every day and under the
Thirty Years war, which was
fought between the two reli
gions. World War II also took
it's toll of the old churches, but
most of these are gradually be
ing reconstructed. At a later
date I hope to report on other
church activities and youth
groups in modern Germany.
Attending
Park Camp

L. E. Biggs, president of the

right circumstances it is greatly
to be desired.
Conversion can bring a radical
and wholesome change to life. A
person who has been consciously
alien, despairing, guilty, con
fused as to his goals and at odds
with the universe, with society
and with imself, can be changed.
He or she can come to know
reconciliation with God, with
other people, with self. Despair
can be transformed to confi
dence, guilt to forgiveness, the
cross purposes of uncertain goals
to the integrity of one aim. The
personality, hitherto utterly
alone, takes on a new character
as it becomes part of the church,
the living society which hails as
its highest designation the title
"Body of Christ."
Clearly it is of overwhelming
importance that a person who
has been at odds with himself
and the universe can be so rec
onciled with God, his fellows
and his own soul. This change
is conversion. It can usually take
place without a wracking emo
tional upheaval, but it involves
the emotions since they are part
of the totality of personality. But
it can never take place without
the presence and help of the
church at various stages.
Urges Church Association
Billy Graham is right in in
sisting that every person must
make his own decision about
Christ, must surrender his life
to God. But experience has re
peatedly shown that the person
who "accepts Christ" 'T such cir
cumstances as those seen in
Madison Square Garden is very
likely to lose his way.
He may transiently know
what it means to be converted,
but if he fails to become integ
rally identified with other Chris
tians in a church, the experience
will wither. He needs guidance
immediately into an understand
ing of the good news which runs
far deeper than that preached
by the mass evengelist, whose
sole concern is to present only
that portion of the gospel which
bears on "decisions for Christ."
The new Christian needs more
help than ordinarily he knows
to "grow in grace." He is for
tunate if he is led into the ex
perience of conversion by the
pastor or members of a church
whose individual counsel and
prayers guide each step.
NAZAHENE SPEAKER Dr. W.
D. McGraw, district superinten
dent of the Oregon-Pacific dis
