If Spring came but once in a
century, instead of once a year,
or burst forth with the sound of
an earthquake, and not in si
lence, what wonder and expec
tation there would be in all
hearts to behold themiracuk us
change I But now the silent suc
cession suggest nothing but nec
essity. To most men only the
cessation of the miracle would
be miraculous, and the perpe
tual exercise of God's power
seems less wonderful than Its
withdrawal would be. - Long
