them, and After Pulk. The three serials
continued from the previous number deepen
IN interest Among the graver papers, that OF
Prot c. p. Fisher on the testimoy Of the spir
il, is of high merit
We quote a paragraph;
II is an oftcn.quoted remark of Luther that
the spiritual miracles are true miracles. lhcy
do not take place IN the realm OF sense. There
is in them no such obvious presence OF the SUI
pernatural as to force conviction. They are
within the souls of men. But they result not
the less IN a new creation. What ground has
the common man for believing in the Gospel
He cannot weigh the literary evidences lie
cannot cOnfutc the assertions OF advcrsarles VINO
deny the gcnuincness OF the Gospels anu
quote patristC testimonies against them
IIas he then no good ground for his faitn
lie finds the sures, proof in the contents Of the
books themselves. He sees a yerislmllitudc
IN the descriptions of the life ana character Of
Jesus; they could not have been made up; and
they are not of earth. He draws from the BIZ
bic life giving nutriment for his splrit,-ior-
gveness, hope, strength against temptation,
the ioy of new life. He sees that he does not
stand alone. A multitude whom no man can
number derive the same good from the same
source. He is not dreaming, then; he is not
indulgng fancy. He is like one who IS
drinking clear and cool water from well
which affords the same retreshment to thous-
ands of others besides himself. lie knows
that it IS "A well OF water, without inquiring
the history of 1t, and troubling himself with
the question by whose hands it was dug.
More highly educated persons may be necessi-
tated to Investigate these points by difficulties
which they are not ut liberty peremptorliy TO
set aisle; but even such minds can never afford
to undervalue or ignore the testimony OF the
Spirit
