[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.

Sra,—I would like to thank your correspondent, F. G. Keen; for his protest against Major Yeats-Brown's conception of God. My own faith in God's Providence would be utterly destroyed if I could believe for an instant that there was a special intervention of God to make the Major's escape possible. Surely God's care and love were as near the Major in prison as in freedom, and the blessing on courage and initiative as certain whether they lead to success or not.—I am, Sir, &c.,

MINISTER OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND,
