Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Publications of the Catholic Truth Society, Vol. 16
But though there was no temptation to deny miracle, the message seemed to call for a statement of its claims. There was in the mind of the speaker a feel ing, whether or not founded in fact, that miracle is ignored, slurred over, and kept in the back-ground that its existence is to be apologized for, rather than paraded; is a difficulty in the way of, not a testimony to, the Christian faith. The kind of argument which I might endeavour to place before my kindly adviser, should the: occasion offer, gradually took shape, and while I may not doubt that my matter must be a mere commonplace to the clergy, that which has occurred to one lay mind may help other such under like cir cumstances'. It may enable them to see that the Catholic Church, mirror on earth of God' 5 external government, is indeed a realm of order and law, but manifesting constantly the presence of a ii\ ing Ruler, guiding it through the ages; no mere ostle of atoms which, that they may move at all, have gradually, accommodated themselves to one fixed, unalterable course.
