 he was  caught  up  into  paradise  and  heard  secret words which  it  is  not  granted  man  to  utter. Paul had sat,  indeed,  at  the  feet  of  Gamaliel,  but  what  was that to  the  depths  of  the  infused  knowledge  of  God? Again, the  fact  of  revelation  is  attested  by  the  comparatively recent  writers  of  the  New  Testament,  by the  Fathers  of  the  Church,,  and  even  by  Pagan authors. It is  because  the  Scriptures  are  the  revealed word  of  God  that  we  find  in  them  the  frequent recurrence of  such  expressions  as:  "  The  Lord  spoke to  Moses,  saying:"  or:  "The  word  of  the  Lord came  to  me,  saying: "  or:  "The  revelation  of  Jesus Christ  to  His  servant  John,"  etc. St. Paul (Gal. i. 11)  asserts  the  fact  of  revelation,  saying  emphatically: "  I  give  you  to  understand,  Brethren, that  the  Gospel  which  was  preached  by  me  is  not  according to  man,  for  neither  did  I  receive  it  of  man, nor  did  I  learn  it;  but  by  the  revelation  of  God,"  and St. Peter  indicates  in  a  few  words  the  primary  author of  all  the  books  of  both  Testaments,  saying: " Prophecy  came  not  by  the  will  of  man  at  any  time; but  the  holy  men  of  God  spoke,  inspired  by  the  Holy Ghost." On the  other  hand,  the  greatest  geniuses of Pagan  times,  Socrates,  Plato,  Pythagoras,  Cicero, etc., after  long  years  of  study  and  research  succeeded only in  involving  themselves  in  inextricable  doubts and difficulties  concerning  such  fundamental  verities as the  existence  of  God  and  the  immortality  of  the soul; so  that  the  phenomenon  of  a  Christian  world  in peaceful  possession  of  these  first  principles  of  truth and morality,  together  with  all  they  imply  and  entail,
