    PUBLISHER’S PREFACE. If the following statement were not fully attested by most respectable witnesses—by men eminent for their learn¬ ing, their piety and their truth—incredibility might cover them with the gloomy veil of doubt; and scepticism might cavil ivith its ordinary success. Jit the present day, upon the mere mention of a miracle, contradiction is heard in the blended voices of many millions of (illiberal men and wil¬ ling) unbelievers. Whatever is beyond their immediate comprehension—whatever is unaccompanied with the con¬ firming evidence of their own senses— Whatever is irrecon¬ cilable with the acknowledged faculties of man, is im¬ mediately doubted, if not wholly denied. And it must cease forever to be a matter of wonder that it is so, when it is remembered that the miracles of our blessed Redeemer, were contradicted, and the practised powers of his Apos¬ tles and his Saints most unblushingly despised. But in thefollowing pages, will be found evidence enough to stagger the unbeliever, if not entirely to satisfy his doubts. Here he may see the wonderful power of his God ; here he may see the effective interposition of him who raised the widow's son to life at the gate of JVaim ; and there he may see the indubitable continuance of that spirit, which was promised to the faithful “ even unto the end of the world. (Matt. 28.) We have not now to burrow through the dark pages of antiquity, to find instances of the gracious manifestation of his mercy, or of the working of his ivon- dr ous miracles to perpetuate his glory. Miss O' Connor, .Miss Balov and Miss Stuart, are liv¬ ing witnesses of our own day, of the miraculous extension of the powers of him “ who killeth and maketh alive, and who hath declared, that “ the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up. (James 5, chap.)
