Christ not Silent.

CHRIST is not silent upon earth. He that has an ear for his voice, hears it in a variety of ways in every place. Witnessing for himself and his cause, he speaks at one time in obvious judgments, which he inflicts upon his foes; and at another, in tangible blessings and answers to prayers with which he favors his friends. He speaks in the Sabbatic rest of soul which those enjoy who trust in him, as well as by the want of peace, the distressing care and fear of death which are the lot of the ungodly. He speaks by the suprising confirmations which science in its progress, is often involuntarily obliged to afford his word, as well as by the manifold signs of the times, which manifest nothing but a literal fulfillment of his prophecies.
