Frog Hind Leg Aims to Prove God Is Alive at Revival
Rev. J L Goughnour used a frog’s hind leg as a dramatic illustration in the Second sermon of a revival at First Brethren church. Objects such as alarm clocks and tumblers formed a pulpit device while the preacher argued that choice of means signals mentality and life. He contrasted inanimate clocks with a clawed demonstration on a frog to claim God’s governing force and consciousness. a follow up sermon titled The Character of a Man Revealed by the Manner in Which He Laces His Shoe is scheduled for tonight.
