his denial of miracles was necessary unless he gave up his philosophy. To one who believes in a personal Ood, who may for good reasons interfere with nature’s ordinary pro­ cesses, miracles are not incredible; but an Atheist, Pan­ theist or Deist must deny the possibility of miracles. For if, behind and above nature, there be no intelligent, divine, controlling hand, the very existence of the universe depends on the absolute uniformity of nature’s laws and processes. Mr. Hume was a Deist. He traced the various effects of nature to a uniform series of causes: no Interruption could be supposed to occur, for there would be nothing to restore order and harmony. It Is well to have provision for that extra pressure In the water works, If there be an intelligent person there, to determine when to gear on the spare machinery, and to disconnect it when the need of It ceases: but, If the machine should have no brain behind It, It would not do to allow such extra pressure, for the machine can­ not restore itself to Its ordinary and uniform working— and to have fourfold pressure when the hydrants are closed would destroy both machinery and distributing pipes. For Hume to admit miracles would be to admit a personal God — back of a nature’s enginery, an Engineer whose power and Intelligence first fixed the uniformity of nature’s ordin­ ary workings, and who If He chooses to bring some new force to bear, can disconnect It when His purpose is answered. Hume’s argument against miracles was not simply the result of candid reasoning, but a manufactured theory invented to fit Into his deistical philosophy. I am prepared to prove that his dishonesty in the matter lies even deeper, in a deliberate determination to oppose the claims of the religion of Christ. I quote his own words, that it may be seen how he contradicts himself. After boldly saying that “ a miracle supported by any human tes­ timony is more properly a subject of derision than of argu­ ment,” he says, “ I own that' there may possibly be miracles of such a kind as to admit of proof from human testimony;’' and then imagines a case of miracles, so attested by com­ petent witness that philosophers ought to recelve.it as cer­ tain. And then mark how he sneaks out as by a trap door, lest he be caught in his own admissions. “ But should this miracle be ascribed to a new system of religion, men in all I------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 | T, C.
