From an editorial in
The Florida Times–Union
Jacksonville, Florida

A thoughtful and much–read writer has asked: "What is the Christian religion if it is not a religion of miracles? Did not Jesus command his disciples to 'heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils'?" ...

Yet also has it been said that the miraculous to men is the natural with God. Or as the Apostle Paul asked of King Agrippa, "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?" And it is in the acceptance of eternal truths, once incredible though they may have been to the many, that followers of the risen Lord this day memorialize the resurrection. On this day [Easter] do they renew their faith in the teachings and the assurances of him whose demonstration of immortality said to the world: "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore."
