WE NEED GRACE
 OF COD-WALKER
Men Should Not Question Lords Goodness Says
 Second Church Pastor

We need the grace of God" stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, Second Congregational church pas tor, yesterday morning in his ser mon entitled, The Word, the Glory and the Grace
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 We need to believe that God is gracious. In the midst of a world catastrophe like this present war, men question the goodness of God. They blame God because they Suf- fer the consequences of what they did in defiance of Gods laws. One of our great modern preachers, Dr. Leslie Weatherhead of City Tenn pie, London, whose church has been destroyed and who knows at first hand the misery and the sorrow has said that '"The supreme face of life, and the only one that gives us any hope of progress at all, is that man can turn to God, and open his heart to God and be used by God" He says further that ''The one hope of the world is that God has a plot, in which man can play a part, plan for his school world which could make life hap pier here and which points to fur ther plan on another stage" The coming of Jesus into human life was God coming on our stage, wearing our makeup. showing up what life could be.
