"Miracles" in the 1916 Melchizedek Priesthood Manual

In the 1916 Melchizedek Priesthood manual supplementing James E. Talmage’s Jesus the Christ (1915), we have the following explanation of miracles:



 

Miracle of transmuting water into wine.—Miracles in general.

Give your idea of the purpose of miracles; show that miracles are wrought in accordance with natural laws, though perhaps not understood by man.
