THE CHURCH AND MIRACLES. INTERESTING DISCUSSION "AT

OXFORD.

JOAN ". QUOTED.

Mr. Shaw's reference to miracles in St. Joan" was prominently quoted on August 30th, at the Conference of Modern Churchmen at Oxford, in a paper read by the Rev. J. C. Hardwick, vicar of Partington, Cheshire. on The Miracu lous."

"A miracle." says the Archbishop in St. Joan," (Mr. Hardwick quoted), is an event which creates faith. That is the purpose and nature of miracles. They, may seem very wonderful to the people who witness the, and very simple to those who perform them. That does not matter if they confirm or create faith they are trus miracles.'

Perhaps we may be pardoned," Mr. Hardwick remarked, for doubting it this correctly represents the view of the. fifteenth-century preinte, at least if he were familiar with, the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, who took a different and a more sophisticated view. But it does represent very exactly the attitude of the New Testament writers, for whoma nifacle is an exceptional event, which attracted attention to the personality of a great man, which helped to authenti- rate his message, to give authority to his words, and to create reverence for his A miracle for them is an event person. which creates faith. and probably it is historically true than the New Testamat iracles semed simple enough to those who performed them, while for those who saw then they were clear evidence of the power of God, or (in certain cases). of Beelzebub, working in the performer." To hold that "the New Testament writers regarded miracles as a breach of natural law was to be guilty, he pointed. out, of an anachronism, and to misunder. stand their attitude entirely. Pheno- mena could not be attributed to the breach of a law the existence of which is not recognised. To the New Testament writers miracle was merely an un- familiar event, which was attributed to angels, spirits, demens, or divine, beings. It was no breach of law, for there wero no law to break. The essence of a miracle lay in its unfamiliarity or its partentousness.

CHANGE OF VIEW.

Miracles were not brought to an end with the New Testament period; they continued as long as the mentality which produced them prevailed. The first not- able, change was to he discovered in the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, in which, miracles are regarded as being contrary to, or outside of created nature. The contrast between the New Testament writers and S. Thomas was far greater than between St. Thomas and ourselves; and yet between St. Thomas and men of science to-day there was an important difference, for natural science could not admit the concept of the supernatural, because it stultified its methods; it seam- ed to introduce an ealculat factor. that remlered abortive the tasted, and ryfiable methods of research.

"Tance, with the supernatural the man of science could make no terms. Aunt- ne such as science adopts leaves no room for the supernatural, and certainly no room for miracles in the Thomist sense, and the question had in a faced whether it has any room for an Incar." nation in the traditional Christian sense, involving something coming in from the outside.

ti

The belief in-miracles in the orthodox sense had declined to a remarkable ex tent during the past two generations, and it would continue to decline in all probability.

MIRACLES AND MODERN PHENOMENA.

In the course of a brief discussion on this paper. Miss Dallas stepped on to the sub-platform to put forward the view. that this question of, miracles cannot he understood or valued rightly unless we understand the supernatural pheno ment which are occurring to iny, and may be subjected to scientific study now." A college friend had said to Fer of'phy- chical research that it has given me Hack my New Testament," meaning that the supernatural happenings of the pre sent day are corroborating on a small scale the supernatural events which are recorded in the New Testament.

The Rev. J. C Hardwick, in reply, said Miss Dallas had stated very clearly what he himself had tried to say.

"We

do not," he said, disbelieve in the occur rence of superporinal events. We believe in telepathy, in faith-healing, in levita- tion and in all sorts of things: hut those things are not in St. Thomas's sense supernormal events St. Thomas Aquinas did not identify miracles with wonder. What the modern mind is up against is. not belief in the supernatural; it is belief in interference from outside. Supernatural events are not, in our way of thinking. interference from the out- side; they are purely natural, and I feel very grateful to Miss Dallas for raising that point."

оп

**SUPERNATURAL.!

In a paper read earlier in the morning The Naturál" and the Super natural" the Rev. G. E. Russell, head- master of King Edward VI. School, Southampton, said the attempt to make the Christian faith independent of belief in the supernatural had been made again And again. It had not succeeded, and he did not think it would succeed. The better we understood the meaning of the word supernatural the more strongly were we convinced, he said, that it des cribes an element in our religion which is indispensable, and of which the valan is fundamental. In the minds of some people the word supernatural stands for something which many do quite frankly reject. Some bold the view that if cor tain psychical powers attributed to parti:] cular persons were actual historical thay must have been supernormal, but it would seem more correct to say that, if his torical, then the natural endowment of man was more rich and diversified than it had been imagined before these powers were recognised,"

Day of the Knight

Knight is Here !

IT IS THE

WILLYS KNIGHT

=

Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.

~~ ||

It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of any car

in the market.

1-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the six

unnecessary.

The Knight motor is steam principle. The valves are two cylindrical sleeves with rectangular slots or ports which when they register with each other and the ports in the block allow the ingress and egreas of the gases without cbstruction. These wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust side, permit a more thorough cleaning of the burnt gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every cunca of, energy available is utilized from the explosive mixture, which gives as such tremendous power

2-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean.

||

The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston noted for its great heal radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets hot enough to baka the residue from the exposed gases to form carbon while there is still enough best maintained to handle the explosive mixture effectively.

#

-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.

While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residue from the barat gases works up behind the wide sosling ring in the cylinder head and, as this building in process obtaine, it keeps pashing this scaling ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until îl completely seals the compression chamber developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn.

4-It is the only type of motor that wearg in while other wears out.

J

All parts in the Willys-Knight car are asambled with wide clearance between each other and oil is forced into these clearances under heavy pressure so that the entire assembly is lapping or wearing in on these heavy films of oil instead of wearing out." In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing instead of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep if quiet with subsequent quick-

wear and noise..

It has oliminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a sylindered poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as cams striking against park reds, pash roda agrizat valve stems, pr valve heada snapping back into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
