The Laws of Creation: These laws, which may be called cosmic, natural or Divine laws, take on a pivotal and universal role, for no single event can take place outside them. They form, preserve, regulate and maintain the entire universe down to the minutest happening, which can only be recognised with the aid of a microscope.

The grandfather recounted what terrible weather there had been the day he himself was carried to church. Between hail and lightning the churchgoers could scarcely believe that they would escape with their lives. Afterwards people had made all sorts of predictions about…
