116. Gift of Tongues.

There is a curious question concerning the gift of tongues, in what mode the miracle was effected: many theologians, and Gregory Nazianzen among them, opining that the miracle took place in the atmosphere, and not in the ears of the hearers; because, they argued, if it were otherwise, the miracle must be ascribed to the hearers, and not the speakers.
