ourselves, we are not to i-oiiclude that others
may not. There aro in immensity graat
ranges of mists which have proved,
under closer telescopic s-rutiny. to be
tha store house of worlds, and I do
not know but from that pas.ige in
James, which to some of us is yet misty and
dim, there mav roll out a new heiveu and a
new earth: "The pray u- of faith shall save

school of medicine mav yet b" the school of
Christ. I do not know but that diseases now
by all achools pronounce 1 incurable

may come when faith and m aver shall raise
the dead. Strauss and Woolstou mi I Spin
.. and Hume und Si-lileiermaidier rejected
tha miracles of the far pist. I do not pro
pose to be like them and rejuct the miracles
of the far future. This I know tha Christ
of Ascension Day is mightier than any nat
ural laws, for on tha day of which I speak
He trampled down the strongest of them nil.
I-aw is mighty, but He who made it is
mightier, Itrive out fatalism from your
theology, and give grace the throne.
.Standing to-day on the Ascension peak of
Mount Olivet I am also gladdened at the
closing gis-ture. the last gesture Christ ever I
made. "He lifted up Hia hands and blesssed
