testimony to the character and dliine mission
of f lirM. WV know that He is a Teaiher come
from Cod, for no man rould do with miracles
as lie did. without Ood's help. The blind man,
1iom- ejus OirUt openid, did not need any
further pmof of Christ's tllilne power, or of Ills
di.ine mission. To the eritlcs o( Christ he said:
"Why, hetein is a iiianelous thing, that ye know
not from whence He is, and yet He hath opt in r
mine cjes." Jteiis said: "My woiks hear wit-ne-fi
ol Me." And St. l'etei, on the diy of
Pentecost, appealed to Christ's miracles in proof
of Ills ill. hip cliims. "Ye mm of l.racl,' ho
said, "hear thuc wonls: .lesus of N'arercth, a

that Christianity U the only tiue teligion. We
line stronger testimony on these point-i thin tint
which miracles furnish; hut lnltaclcs constitute
s. necessary link in the irretragihle cluln of Clni,
tlan evidences. While we must rot underrate
the evidence of miracles, we mint be careful not
to overestimate Ihcir evidential value. The
divine warning thai was so needful In Pihli.
times is needful Mill: "If there arise among jou
a piophct, or a dreamer of dieam, anil glvetli
thee n sign or a wonder, ami the i-ign or the
wonder ionic to pass whereof he speaks unto

If the object antl crteit o( the miracle be to
propagate ciror, and to contravene and ronlri

real, It is, nevertheless, fabo and wicked, and
those who are deceived by it arc In a pltlihfc
