At least, the arguments which would establish such a relation of the Deity to the material universe as amounts to "superintendence and control," would go far to establish the doctrine of a real presence and agency of God pervading and upholding all nature. Superintendence and control imply some agency, some efficiency, and some _intervention_ of righteousness or mercy to secure other ends than those secured by the established course of nature, for whoever _overrules_ steps on a field beyond his ordinary _rule_. The physical laws are, therefore, simply God's uniform mode of governing the world. This is the conclusion which is reached by Proctor ("Other Worlds than Ours"). In his chapter on "Supervision and Control" (ch. xiii.), he says: "Thus we are led to the conclusion that all things happen according to set physical laws; and without, by any means, adopting the view that the Almighty exercises no special control over his universe, we see strong reason to believe that the laws which He has assigned to it are sufficient for the control of all things. Indeed, as far as all things take place in accordance with laws which the Almighty must assuredly have Himself ordained, we may say that _every event which has happened or will happen throughout infinite time is the direct work and indicates the direct purpose and will of Almighty God_" (pp. 329, 332); and further, "_He who made the laws may annul or suspend them at his pleasure_" (p. 333).] [Footnote 220: St. Augustine's "De Civitate Dei," xii. 25, 26; Neander's "Church History," vol. ii. p. 605; Nitzsch, "System of Christian Doctrine," p. 193; Müller's "Christian Doctrine of Sin," vol. i. p. 248; Harris's " Pre-Adamite Earth," p. 103; Young's "Creator and Creation," pp. 57, 58; Chalmers's "Astronomical Discourses," Dis. iii. pp. 91, 98.] [Footnote 221: "De Civitate Dei," xii. 25; xiii. 26.] [Footnote 222: Contra Gentiles, ii. 38.] [Footnote 223: "Summa Universalis," pt. i. q. 105, art. 5.]
