the Christian church— stand amidst the raging multi- tude, breast the storm, and meet the wave of perse- cution, firm as the surge-beaten rocks meet the bil- lows of the ocean that rise and roar and break upon them. To what is this sudden, this surprising transforma- tion to be attributed ? Around whose standard was it that the dispersed and terror-stricken Christians rallied ? Whose voice of power was it that re-braced the nerves of the palpitating convert, and drew forth the concealed discipl...e from his hiding-place ?
