Rev Gledttsch recently lectured on
'"The Faith in Providence at Our Saw
ior's Church, Kristiania His theory Of
miracles will doubtless be new to most
OF our readers, and 1t Is submitted in as
few words as possible: Can prayers cause
something to happen which otherwise
would not have happened? Let our minds
dwell on the phenomenon Of electricity.
Electricity is accumulated In cloud and
in the earth below It. Nothing can be
seen or heard Of the force until It has at
tanned such high degree Of tension that
1t bursts through the Intervening air, and
we have thunderbolt. a visible, audible
action. Something does actually happen
The same way with miracles The belief
In Providence has attained such a&great
tension that an answer, comes from
above. Something happens, and we call
it a miracle, From this 1t may be infer
red that miracles are so few in our day
because our faith in Providence is not
sufficiently intense to produce them.
