O'Clock there was a resurrection. Out of
the night, day. Ever and anon there
are instances of men and women in a
trance. A trance is death followed by
resurrection after few days. Total sus-
pensions OF mental power and voluntary
action. Rsv. Mr.. bennett, IN great evan
gelist of tne past, DIR. Archibald Alexan-
der, the most unsentimental of men,
his eulogist lay in trance for
manly DAYS, but the departed
soul that had seen wonders in its absence

lifelessness, and this waking up Of grains
buried 5000 years ago, make 10 easier for
US 70 believe that our body and mind after
the vacation of the grave shall rise and
rally, though there be 1900 years between
our last breath and the sounding of the
archaugelic reveille.
Psychologists tell us that while the
most of our bodies are built with such
wonderful economy that we can spare
nothing, and the loss OF a little finger is
a hinderment and the injury OF a
toe-joiHt makes us lame, sdll That we

has ever been able to tell US what they
are good for. They are, no doubt, the
foundation Of the resurrection body, worth
nothing 10 us in this state, to be OF inds-
pensahfe value in the next state. The
Jewish rabbins had only a hint OF this
suggestion when they said that In zoe hu-
