IS THERE REASON TO DOUBT THE
TRUTH OF MIRACLES?
So far from giving up a belief in
miracles, there are many learned men
who are finding in the latest research
es of science new reasons to confirm
their faith in them.
A writer of the finest intelligence
and culture has this to say concerning
miracles: The greatest objection to
miracles has been due to the fact that
man has believed that, to produce
such an effect, it would be necessary
to destroy an existing force or abro
gate one of the natural laws. If they
were true such objections, of course,
might lead many to doubt the possi
bility of such occurrences; but, as a
matter of fact, they are not reason
able objections, no such violations of
natural law having to take place.
The explanation of the miracle is
by no means as difficult as many seem
to believe, and the mistake that scien
tists have made, as Dr. Kinsley sug
gests, is in losing sight “of that most
interesting and most important of all
facts, that everywhere ample provision
has been made for the efficient inter
ference of direct will power.”
There is scarcely a waking moment
in the day in which we do not directly
overcome some of the natural laws.
We do not destroy the force, or vio
late the law —we simply get the better
of it. To violate a law of nature spells
disaster; to introduce another and
stronger force merely produces a dif
ferent effect.
We do not lift an arm —or can not —
without first overcoming the law of
gravity, and in countless other acts of
volition the introduction of the human
will enables us to set at naught many
other forces that are commonly re
garded as inviolable. Our success in
transforming the crude building mate
rials into great skyscrapers shows the
wonderful power that the thought of
man exerts over nature, while such
experiments as those made by Luther
Burbank demonstrate even more clear
ly how cunningly the human brain is
gaining a mastery over nature’s vital
forces.
The things that we are doing with
electricity in this day would have
seemed the greatest of miracles to our
ancestors of a century ago, yet in at
taining these results we have not vio
lated a single law or thrown any of the
forces of nature into confusion. We
have simply studied the laws that
operated in such cases, and, through
this knowledge, have directed the
forces to our own ends or have intro
duced other and more powerful forces
to put a check upon their power. In
Not an Experiment.
Paint Lick, Ky.—Mrs. Mary Free
man, of this place, says: “Before I
commenced to take Cardui I suffered
so much from womanly trouble. I was
so weak that I was down on my back
nearly all the time. Cardui has done
me more good than any medicine I
ever took in my life. I can’t possibly
praise it too highly.” You need not
be afraid to take Cardui. It is no new
experiment. For fifty years it has
been found to relieve headache, back
ache and similar womanly troubles.
Composed of gentle-acting herb ingre
dients, Cardui builds up the strength,

CAPTAIN NOBLE NEWNAN BEALL
“Uncle Noble,” as he was affection
ately called by the young people of his
acquaintance, was born in Franklin
county, Ga., February 11, 1829, and
died in Paulding county, Ga., Novem
ber 20, 1910.
Captain Beall was a great-grandson
of Thaddeus Beall, who is mentioned
in the Historical Register of the Offi
cers of the Continental Army, as 2nd
lieutenant on the staff of Brigadier
General Rezin Beall. His grandfather
was General Frederick Beall, who was
an officer of the Georgia Militia at the
time when the State depended mainly
on that organization for defense
against hostile Indians. He was a son
of General William Beall, who served
under Jackson in the war of 1812-15,
was Assistant Adjutant General of
Georgia, 1836-40, under the law then
in force, requiring the militia in every
county to be thoroughly organized and
assembled for inspection and drill
semi-annually.
When Captain Beall was about two
years of age his father moved to Car
roll, then a frontier county. In that
healthful region he grew to manhood.
On the fifth of May, 1857, he married
Miss Sarah Awtrey, a daughter of
Jacob Awtrey, of Villa Rica, Ga.
Choosing the practice of law as a pro
fession, he was admitted to the bar
at Carrollton in October, 1857, and in
January following located at Dallas.
He represented his county in the
lower house of the Legislature in
1862-3. But no man worthy of such
an ancestry as had Captain Beall could
with any degree of content continue
to engage in civil pursuits while the
voice of patriotism called to arms. In
March, 1864, he entered the service as
first lieutenant in the company of
Captain Thomas Northcutt, 2nd regi-
a word, as Kinsley has said, “our voli
tions are simply supernatural, not con
tranatural.”
To show how the interposition of
stronger forces might be used in the
performance of miracles we may refer
to the Bible narrative which has been
so strenuously assailed —more vio
lently, perhaps, than ajiy other —the
story of the sun being’stayed at the
command of Joshua. Again and again
it has been stated that such an occur
rence was scientifically impossible, yet
the late Prof. Mitchell did not hesitate
to assert that, “if He had chosen, God
could have lengthened the day by sim
ply condensing the atmosphere and
thus changing its power of refrac
tion.”
It is, of course, impossible :o say
that this was what was done, but it
suggests a means by which the result
might have have been attained without
in any way disturbing one of the vital
laws upon which the scientist, in de
nying the possibility of such a miracle,
lays so much stress. Moreover, it in
dicates the absurdity of our position
when we —though wofully ignorant of
the possibilities of existing laws—deny
the Creator of them the capacity to
operate them to His own ends.
POLITENESS AT HOME.
Yet another. The lack of politeness
in home life, the omission of tact, the
selfishness that prompts to staying at
home when one or the ether would
like to go out, the thwarting of little
plans for pleasure, the sheer grumpi
ness that robs life of sunshine are at
the bottom of many a wreck. Why
should a husband cease to tell his wife
that he loves her, that h,er gown is
pretty, her hair becomingly arranged,

ment, Georgia State Line. The regi
ment was first ordered to Savannah,
was transferred thence to Rome, and
from Rome to the Western and At
lantic Railroad. From some point on
this road Captain Beall was sent to
hospital at Newnan. A Federal raid
approaching, the patients were order
ed to avoid capture as best they could.
Captain Beall made his way across the
Chattahoochee river, and was ap
proaching Carrollton when, within a
mile of that place, he fell into the
hands of a party of Yankee scouts.
Two days afterward, while the raiders
were resting at noon, near Villa Rica,
Ga., he escaped. He rejoined his com
mand in time to participate in the des
perate charge of the enemy’s en
trenched line, on the 22nd of June, on
Hood’s left, near Powder Springs. He
shared the dangers of the defense of
Atlanta. He fought at Jonesboro,
where the gallant Captain Northcut
fell; was promoted to the captaincy,
followed General Hood to the Ten
nessee river, where the Georgia State
Line regiments were ordered back to
Macon, at which place he and some
others of his regiment, after untold
hardships and difficulties, at length
arrived, but too late to aid in the de
fense of that city. And now came the
end of war, and the glad return to the
refuge and rest of home.
Captain Beall resumed the practice
of law at Dallas. Representing his
district in the State Senate in 1882-4.
he introduced, and successfully press
ed to its passage, a prohibition bill
for Paulding county.
But there is another phase of his
life and character that, more than his
patriotic military ardor, more than his
conscientious discharge of duty in the

knew and loved him best. For sixty
three years he illustrated Christianity
in word and work, in the privacy of
friendly communion, as well as in pub
lic. The confidence inspired by his
good faith and integrity in the per
formance of every trust —his uncom
promising honesty —gave him influ
ence in the courts and the community,
while his undemonstrative, but un
questioned, piety made him a power
for good in the church and out of it.

Captain Beall’s first wife, a woman
whose life abounded in all the excel

September 6, 1867, leaving four chil

On May 12, 1868, Captain Beall mar

Silas M. Brown, of Haralson county,
Ga. Seven sons and three daughters
are the fruit of this union. The seven
brothers constitute the well known
