it has a magnetism, it has the characteristic of producing certainty, it has a- bliss, it has a light, it h a s a , supernatural glory, it has with it angels tha~t exercise a control over every particle of the body, and besides, it is accom- l)anied by the nnmerotis extraol:dinary signs manifesting the power of God. I t is impossible that the receiver of such a revelation should ever have any misgiving as to I its Divine origi'n. To him"a doubt is. as 'fatal- as unbelief.
