Miracles Being Performed Todav, • •• Dr. Smith Avers Phenomena in Bible Are Tfaceahle to Natural Causes, Says Pastor, Who Admits Subject Is ‘"Delicate.” Rev. Frank G. Smith, before a large audience in the First Central Congregational church last night, dis cussed the miracles recorded in the Bible and their “literal historicity.” It was the fourth of a series of Sun day evening lectures he is delivering on "Some Things a Modern Christian Believes About the Bible." Ur. Smith expressed the Idea that this was the most delicate of ail diffi cult subjects he has handled in the series so far. "A miracle,’’ he said, “is something that occurs and seems to you won derful and which you qflnnot explain by any wisdom at your command. I believe in the miraculous. I believe Cod sometimes works through agen cies and by laws that we do not yet understand. “While the miracle stories are not fundamental to the great teachings of the Bible, they cannot be removed without destroying the fabric of the Schiptures. Some of them are ex plainable by a better knowledge of the surroundings of the events de scribed. In some there are poetic ele ments. In others we may read things that are not really there when we study the facts more closely. Explains Miracle. “For example, the story of the widow s oil and meal in the time of Elijah. When it is studied closely it states that the oil and meal did not fall. It does not say it was miracu lously multiplied.” The 10 plagues in Egypt, the cross ing of the Red sea on dry land, the manna and quails in the wildempss, i he bringing of water from the rock and the crossing of the Jordan were mentioned by Ur. Smith as miracles explainable from natural causes. lie then turned to the positive side of the problem and declared that then- are numberless miracles in the world today. “Not only- was the burning bush a miracle but every flower and every bush that grows is an inexplicable mystery and wonder unsolvahle to our puny understandings." he said. “Man himself is ft miracle and every'breath he draws is a mystery. We have be come accustomed to these things and take them for granted, but we do not understand them. They are part of those secret things that belong to God alone. Study of Bible Urged. • “I don't want to tell anyone how he shall regard the miracles. Let -ach one read his Bible diligently and prayerfully and then decide for him self. Views may differ Non the miracles hut the fundamental thing is to love and trust and serve God and to love and trust and serve our fellnwmen.” Dr. Kmlth. before his lecture, read a number of questions bearing on the lectures which have been received by him direct and through The Omaha Bee, and gave his answers to them. By letter and telephone dozens of questions are coming to him each wpek on the problems he Is present rig in the lectures. Man Is Proof of Divine Healing Rpv.

Rev. Frank G. Smith, whose series of Sunday evening .lectures in the First Central Congregational church. Thirty-sixth and Harney streets, is attracting wide attention, is answer ing'in The Omaha Sunday Ree ques tions on puzzling points of the Bible and Christianity. Questions may be addressed to "Bible Editor, The Omaha Bee.” They are placed in the hands of Dr. Smith and the questions with Dr. Smith’s answers are printed In The Sunday Bee. If you have any questions to put to thts noted divine, send them in as early this week as possible and look for the answers next Sunday., Following are Mr. Smith's answers to questions received last weeks Six Questions Submitted. Question 1—Please explain Hebrews 11:8, "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” -—What are the proofs that the findings of modern scholarship re garding the Bible are trustworthy? 3— By what tests are certain bibli cal narratives shown to be myths? 4— Are New Testament references to Adam and Eve also mythical? viz.: Timothy 2:13, "For Adam was first formed, then Eve." Cor. 15:45, "The first man, Adam, was made a living soul." Cor. 5:47, “The first man is of the earth earthy.” 5— What is divine Inspiration? To what extent is the Bible inspired? 6— Does divine revelations transcend human research?—H. M. Chambers. Answers Mr. Chambers. Answer—Concerning Hebrews 11:13. we cannot search out God. We can only know many of His ways by faith: the word of God here clearly means God himself or the power of God: that He could transform his power into that which we call matter and out of it make the worlds is clearly in accord with the very last discovery of science, namely that the atom is not the unit of matter hut that the atom is composed of electrons in mhtlon: in other words the com bination of unseen powers that are not matter at all produce a visible something that w-e call matter. The same proofs that the findings of modern scholarship are trust worthy in other realms is sufficient to the reasonable mind to admit of their trustworthiness in the realm of Biblical research. The old mythical stories in the first 11 chapters of Genesis reveal their mythological origin by the same tests that are applied to other ancient lit erature. All primitive peoples en deavored to put these great truths that surged in their souls into con crete form in stories that were made the vehicle by which the truth passed j from mind to mind and from genera tion to generation. The story of the Prodigal Son partakes of the ifature of a myth: that is it is an abstract truth put into conerr:e form The New Testament references to Adam and Eve are exactly like the reference of any religious teneher of this dsy; they accepted the Old Testa ment as being the world's best story of the entrance of God Into human life and human experience: when they wanted to speak of the beginning of the human family they spoke of Adam and Eve just•as I do- today without any Interpretation of the meaning of the stories. Divine Inspiration is the Spirit of God entering the life and experience of man in the measure that he will open the door and allow Him to en ter: the Bible is inspired to the extent that certain great souls down the egps made this contact with God in so much larger way than the vast majority of humanity that their ex perience and their teachings became of permanent value to all humanity and were canonized In what we call the Scriptures; as Christians, of course we believe that the finality and the fullness of this revelation came in life, deeds and words of Jesus Christ, if I understand clearly the meaning of , (VOur sixth and last question I would say that Divine Itevelation does trails- - rend human research but that it docs not nullify but rather Invites human reROarch. "Is There Heaven or Hell?" Q—Is there any power superior to and Independent from nature? Is there a heaven or hell? If so, state location —R. 1/ McGee. A—The Christian philosophy is that Ood Is the source of all power; that the various phenomena of nature are hut the manifestations of Ills power. It is the generally accepted doctrine C.f tho Christian faith that all viola tion* of law, physical, moral or spiri tual, receive their Just retribution i both here and hereafter: heaven and hell is the joy or anguish of the soul ."rising from this reward or retribu tion and lienee may lie experi enced anywhere in the ttr/iverse that the obedience or violation takes place. You cannot mathematically demon strate tho existence of God so that human Intellect is convinced of It in tlie mine way it Is convinced of a mathematical proposition; neither f an you f xperlence the existence of Hod through the human senses as you can experience the beat of sum mer or the cold of winter or the beauty of flowers: but if you will lend yourself to that "bettor urge" that Is constantly within you. you will come to know God as definitely as you know other things. "Act ns though lie were and you will soon know that He Is." When you know w-hat His real word Is. you cannot sdd to It nor take from It. It is perfect; entire. Woman lni|uircs About I’rayor. Q—Christ teaches us to pray and assures us that God hears and answers prayers nnd that when wo pray In faith and tielloving whatso ever we pray for, wo will he answer id. I have prayed In faith and hope' for a special desire which Is whole some, elcutn and reasonable. Hhall I continue lit this prayer? Would It l,e advisable to seek more aid In ; prayer for this special Intention?— Mary M. Rogers. Fremont. A—ft Is perfectly right for you to pray and work for things you desire to he brought about that semi to you lo he clean nnd just and nohh but in \our prayer you must bear in mlml • that Ood's wisdom is larger than ours and that He answers sometimes by withholding as well as by giving. There are many other people who are to he taken into consideration in*the answering of our prayers: likewise other things are to he taken into consideration than our mere present temporal welfare; so when we pray we should always he in the spirit of Jesus In the garden, “They will, not mine lie done.” Q—The Bible says there was a flood and every living thing perished ex cept those that were in the ark. Now it is impossible to create or deet "V water? Where did the extra wat’-r come from and where did it go? — lid Cutts. A—This is a very old traditional story; in some form it existed long before the Bible was written; the flood probably did not cover the whole earth, but only so much of it as primitive men saw and knew at that time which was a very small por tion: it is quite generally believed that Jhe flood was due, in part at least, to a readjustment of a portion of the earths crust to its cooling interior: this caused a vast portion of land to ho submerged by the adjacent ocean; this of course, was accompanied by tremendous rains as told in the story and affords a quite reasonable ex planation of this great disaster. Of course, you cannot create or destroy anything, but you can change its form: so you can produce water by condensation and you can eliminate water by evaporation. Explains Revelation. Q—Does the "mother of harlots" nfer to a church, and if so, to what one? Who are the "harlots?”—W. R. Rurbridpe. A.—The question concerninp the "mother of harlots" Is taken from tho seventeenth chapter of Revelation and the fifth verse. The book of Reve lation is apocalyptic in its nature and one that no one can explain or Inter pret with absolute certainty. Certain historic facts, however, are easily ac ressible that throw light on itk pages. It is a well known fact thht in cer tain countries in early primitive times the reproductive forces of nature were deified and worshiped in grossly im moral rites. The early Canaanite sanctuaries were practically great brothels legalized and authorized by the sanction of whut they called their religion. In the Old Testament there is abundant evidence of the difficulty the early Hebrews had when they first ! entered Canaan to keep their people from becoming entangled with this iniquitous practice In the name of religion which made such a powerful and insistent appeal through the natural lust of the flesh. From this there grew the habit of speaking of all Idolatrous worship or alt impure practices, even in the worship of the true Ood, as whoredom or harlotry. It is true that some have interpreted this passage to mean the I^atln church in those dark ages when her lapse from the higher ideals of her earlier faith and practice brought on finally the reformation and the birth of the Protestant church. My own opinion is, however, that this is a narrow interpretation. I think it is a picture of all Individual? or Institutions or nations who yield to the self.urge and descend Into habits and practices that are low and groveling and that lead to death and destruction instead of following tho divine-urge that leads to life and light and peace a net good will. Answering the question of W, I Steensma ooncernlng mans possible immortality, would say that great truths arc not proven by single proof texts, but a couple of very good and ! comforting passages are John 172. .1, also John 11:25, 26. The passage in Acts plainly Indicates that as men turn to Jesus Christ and catch His' spirit and do His will, their live* ??ill he redeemed and exalted and that only hy receiving His spirit and doing His will can the restoration of all things take place In the world. 200 Lose Lives W hen Ship Sinks Small Steamer Hound From Salami* to Piraeus Foun ders in Gale.

Memories of Col. Peter Sarpy and other early day characters of Sarpy county were brought back Saturday at Papillion through their children and children's children, who held out entreating hands and pleaded with the house committee oh privileges and elections that they be permitted to maintain their traditions and name of that county. They asserted these were threatened In the Douglas county an nexation bill, now In the hands of the i committee. The committee members were guests of John R. Hughes, Sarpy county's representative. The occasion was the dedication of the new $150,000 Sarpy county court house and an appeal by representatives from various towns for death of the annexation bill. Fully 400 were present. Every man. woman and child pres ent arose when Representative Ross Amspoker asked for a rising vote from those opposed to annexation. The threatened “raid" on the meeting by annexationists fizzled. Admit f’rovinirialism. Speakers admitted Sarpy coun*y was provincial. They expressed as much pride in the fact that the simple life appeals to them as those In Oma lia express over the Jazz, smoke and hustle of the metropolis. Sarpy county wanted to maintain its Bimple life and its residents admit ted they were as glad to have their money in the bank, unencumbered by bonded indebtedness, as Douglas coun ty apparently is content to vote mil lions in bonds. There was an admission by several speakers that, perhaps. Sarpy county had marked time a trifle too long and there was some Justification over the Douglas county complaint tliat It was niggardly in hardroad building. "We will do better, we will build roads now. but we want to build them ourselves ami govern ourselves, rath er than to have one county commis sioner to represent our needs in the big courthouse at Omaha " speakers asserted. Sarpy Shows 'Em. Two years ago the same annexa tion bill appeared before the legisla ture. Then the complaint was that the courthouse at PapiUlon was un inhabitable. Sarpy county ijr- otised to build a new one. The dedi, ition last night was Sarpy county's meth od of showing to the legislature It had kept its word for two years and would keep Its word to build hard surfaced roads in the next two years if permitted to continue with local self government. It was pointed out that Represen fative Hughes succeeded last week In putting a bill through the lower house with much promise that It will go through the senate which will care for the Bellevue road paving Another bill making possible purchase of the Louisville and Plattrmouth bridges and eliminating the tolls Is on the way through the house.
