We have not nie full facts, and above
ill, we have no medical testimony.
Dorcas may not have been actually
dud.
I have had occasion recently to
look up in The ('ongri'Kiitionnlist ot
some years ago, 1 think it wns way
back in Ihe eighties of Inst century,
a story almost as remarkable as this
in our lesson, the full truth of which,
I believe, wns amply verified. It con
cerned a well-known Congregational
minister. A man of saintly and noble
character who had to all appearances
died. He wns laid out for burial nnd
was about to be interred when a wo
man, who had formerly nursed him
through an illness, who bad not, heard
of his denth. in response to a spirit
ual prompting that Bhe could not ex
plain, came to inquire concerning him.
When she found him apparently
dead, she began a treatment, chuf
fing and rubbing, which soon resulted
in the apparently dead man coming to
life. The' circumstances urc told with
full detail in this article in the old
number of The Congregalionalist, and
a somenhnt remarkable thing is that,
theiigli tins minister was conscious nil
through the period of his trance Mid
knfw jvlmt was happening nround him
without being shin to give nny sign
and though he understood, of course,
lhat he wns likely to he buried nlive,
he had during his trance a remnrk
able experience nf the presence of
Ihe Saviour who had brought to him
great peace of mind that he had not
alttays experienced during his time
of wakeful consciousness.
Reminder of M'racles
I'rohalily it is records such as this
that constitute the background of
New Testament stories of raising
from the dead. They ought at least
to remind prosaic nnd captious crit
ics, who distrust the stories of (ho
miraculous, of the wonders of the

Text: Acts 9:32 43
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quar
ters, ho came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
And there he found a certain man named Eneas, which had
kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy..
And Peter said unto him, Eneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee
whole: arise and mak thy bed. And he arose immediately.
And nil that dwelt at Lydda and Raron saw him, and turned
to the Lord.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple- named Tabitha,
which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman wns full
of good works and almsdceds which she did.
And It came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and
died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper
chamber.
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppn, and the dis
ciples had heard that Peter was there, they sont unto him two
men, d&slring him that he would not delay to come to thorn. ....
Then Peter arose and went with them. When ho was
come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all tho
widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and gar
ments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed;
and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she
opened her eyes: and' when she saw Peter, she Bat up.
And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up; and when ho
had called the saints and widows, he presented her alfve.
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed
in the Lord.
And it came to pass, thatxhe tarried many days in Jhppa
with one Simon, a tanner.
spiritual realm that have never been
by nny meanw explored, and that are
still in a large measure sealed in
spite of all the progress of science.
Let me, however, again mmim! my
readers that the greatest miracles of
all anywhere iu the New Testament,
or outside of its pagen, is the miracle
of the new life in Christ, nnd the les
sons that tell us the stories of the
miraculous happenings never Imve
their full effect upon our lives until
they bring the miracle of grace to
pass in purselvcs.
