manifestations of supernatural charac-
ter. These miracles were wrought by

followed him should do even greater
deeds. When did they cease? The
Protestants say with the Apostles, but

continued down to the present hour
They know that every age of the Church
has been marked by these manifestations
that the blind have been made to see,
the deaf to hcar-that lepers have been
cured, and the dead raised from their
graves, down to our own era. Such

presence at the same time, calculating
