“Paul quotes none of the miracles of the New Testament.”

"To the Indianapolis Clergy." The Iconoclast (Indianapolis, IN) (1883)
Context: There is also this remarkable fact: Paul quotes none of the miracles of the New Testament. He says not one word about the multitude being fed miraculously, not one word about the resurrection of Lazarus, nor of the widow’s son. He had never heard of the lame, the halt, and the blind that had been cured; or if he had, he did not think these incidents of enough importance to be embalmed in an epistle.
