LIVING GOD BIG NEED


Discovery of the presence of a
living God Is the need of the world
today. including the organized
church, Rev. John Rice OF Okmul-
gee declared In the course OF a bril-
liant address before business men
and women Wednesday noon in Bos-
ton Avenue NJ, ~. church, South.
I'VE believe in the reality of God
only theoretically. Really he Is
nearer to us than hands and feet
We no more have to go out to find
God than the fish must swim to find
water or the eagle soar to find the
heavens" He deprecated lack OF
reverence and consciousness OF God
and criticized the alleged Sunday
school where after a hip-hurray pro-
gram pious platitudes were peddled
to hopeless children. He character
lied Islah as y-sided--poet,
theologian, prophet, international
statesman.
In the evening Doctor Rice ad-
dressed q general assembly of the
