Criticizes Browns Views.

kearney, Neb.. Oct. 21.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Mr.. A. B.
Brown, whether a member of the
church or not, puts himself on the
wrong side Of things when he I'M
dertakes to discredit the miraculous
Of the Bible or limit the power of
God. Brown may, on account of
his limited experience, never have
had the mental or spiritual qualiflca-
tons to comprehend the workings of
so great God as runs this universe.
He certainly displays his weakness
when he says that he and others find
no evidence that God ever protected
Daniel from the lions or the fiery
furnace, and clearly indicates that
he does not believe God suspends
the laws Of nature for anybody. God
Almighty does not have to suspend
any of His laws. The ones who get
help from God are the ones who are
in harmony with the laws of nature,
and He will protect the one thus in
harmony.
