In conclusion, then, all real miracles may be regarded as sacraments of divine working—'out ward and visible signs' of the inner and unbroken unity of the natural and moral kingdoms of the Supreme Love. In this sense they were parts of a great whole—no•mal and fitting vehicles of a revelation. They were in themselves "the revela tions of a higher life. the prophecies of a IleW stage in the development of creation." But in them, as in all so-called 'miraculous' manifesta tions, the moral as well as the historical circum stances must be fully grasped and clearly pre sented before a hearty and loyal recognition can be secured.
