GOD IN NATURE
Sir,-Those who seek enlightenment as to the nature of God may obtain it from both profane and sacred sources. Hints as to the nature of God are to be found in insurance policies, steamer tickets, dictionaries, as well as in Acts of Parliament. " Acts of God" are summarised as "Whirlwinds, strokes of lightning, tornados, thunderbolts, floods, earthquakes, tidal waves, and other disasters and calamities, usually but not necessarily accompanied by loss of life." This is obviously a profane ‘description. The inspired word of God tells us clearly that God is Love. God is kind, merciful, tender and forgiving in His dealings with us weak mortals of His own creation. The loving tenderness of God is described in the inspired and _ infallible chapters of His own Book, the Bible.
