[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Mr. F. G. Keen
appears to have meditated too much on the Old Testament and too little on the Gospel of St. John ; or perhaps is unacquainted with either or the doctrine of the Church.
The following points are evident from his first letter, as regards his conception of God :
1. That God is local and can be fully occupied by one human
individual.
2. That all men of any faith or no faith are in an equal state of communion with God.
3. That because one man dies materially and another man remains materially conscious, God does not care at all for the first and cares too much for the second.
4. That man's wisdom and dispositions and God's wisdom and dispositions am on a par—therefore man, though his purposes involve war, can criticize and correct God's Purpose and Providence which ever seeks to make men worthy of peace.
One must say something in a ease of childish criticism levelled at a spiritually minded man who dares to reveal himself as
such.—I am, Sir, &c., C. E. Boccrow.
Littleworth, Faringdon, Berks. (Major retired.)
