It has.'been claimed that thg"j3[lscqver-
ies of  science regarding   natural laws
show the Bible miracles to be impossible, because they could happen only if
natural laws were broken.   People who
claim this say the sick could not be made
wellin a moment, because that would bo
-contrary to nature.   We condense from
^lan article in an English magazine some
thoughts, on  the   subject,   "which   the
skepticai^yould do* well to consider.  The
illnstrjitiqns arfe very clear: -...*
"There is a God above us, who is iJl-
eanT.   ._ _
^Jiat mcii can. Matter iis~tTTe- s
t^f' various' kinds from -which.' our' b'odies
\^nd everything around us are made.
Sow do men influence this matter?
" They do it by interrupting a natural
law. T!here.is.a", 'law of gravity,' for instance; which makes objects inthe air
fall to the ground". Law of gravity 3s
only another name for iveighi. We
know of nothing which t has not some
weight. If we could make a single thing
without Aveight, we should be actually
creatiilg; i. e., making what -never- ex?
iisted before. «
"This of course we cannot .do, but-
even "without that power we have great,
control over matter.
"In spite of tlie law of gravity, we can
make a balloon go up in.the air; not because we break the law, but because the
nydrogen gas in the balloon is lighter
than the ah outside. EverythingA\*e*do
with matter is accomplished in^tiie^same;
sort" of way; "that is, by using tljie iw.tural
jiroperties of one tiling against those of
another, and so interrupting one natttral
law.
"We make powerful machines ana
put them in motion, ana send steam cars
flying across the comitry. ^ We make
iron ships float on. tlie'"witter, though a
bar of iron put on the*"wafer would sink
straight to the bottpm. AJl^these things
and all the maryelst" of "chemistry are
achieved by the aicL'of natttral laws, not
in opposition to tliem. Ohly, we understand these,]a5.vS.Qr'propertieSj aijd know
