And it has never been left without a witness.
Look all through the history of the Christian Church, and see how one after another has come into living touch with the Master Jesus.

Every great saint has proclaimed his own experience as regards his contact with his Lord.

And only in comparatively modern days, and in parts only of the Christian Church, has that great and vivifying truth been lost sight of.

The Greek Church has never lost it; the Roman Catholic Church has never lost it.

The testimony of the saints in those ancient communions bears witness to the continuing connection between the Christian and the Christ.
