(Continued on Page 6) From this basis, he propounded an argument which reappeared often during the evening under various guises: the fact that man thinks about and seeks for God is a positive indication that God exists. The main part of Kolenda's ad- dress confuted the materialistic views prevalent today and insisted upon the reality of ideas in general and the idea of a God in particular. The keynote of the argument was a quotation from Dr. R. A. Tsanoff's book, "Religious Crossroads:" "The idea of God, the highest peak of man's contemplation, is a peak un- sealed; the history of religion is only the record of man's escent of its loftier slopes. Not the definite proof of God's actuality, but the ever-deeper perception of God's na- ture has marked man's maturing religious experience.

Fulton began by saying that, "par- ents, friends, church must never say, 'Believe what we tell you, or else!' i They should say, 'Hex-e is the God whom we have found; try Him and know for yourself.' " He went on to insist that the God-seeking quality in man indicates the existence of God, and that he order of the natur- al world points toward a God.
