Buttrick, formerly pastor of New York's Madison Ave. Presbyterian Church and professor of Homileetics at Union Theological Seminary, will preach almost all of the sermons in Memorial Chapel during the spring term. Yesterday's sermon began his pre-Lenten series which the University announced last October, a departure from the previous chapel procedure of a different clergyman speaking each week...

He had preached the same theme many times before, not only from the pulpit but at countless business-club lunches, on TV, in newspaper columns, magazine pieces, and in a book (The Power of Positive Thinking) which has been at the top of the bestseller lists for almost two years...
