THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS.

1. It will occur at the coming of the Lord: 1 Cor. 15:23; 1 Thess. 4:16-18.
2. This is distinguished in Greek as a resurrection from among the wicked dead: Mark 12:25; Luke 20:35.
3. Disciples and priests who believed in a universal resurrection were puzzled by the teaching of this eclectic resurrection: Mark 9:9; Acts 4:1, 2.
4. Paul even coins a new word, nowhere else found in the New Testament, to express this "out-resurrection" from the dead: Phil. 3:11.
5. It is called "a better resurrection," and "the first resurrection:" Heb. 11:35; Rev. 20:5.
6. It is the time of recompense and crowning for the just who love His appearing: Luke 14:14; 2 Tim. 4:8.
7. Heaven's benediction rests on all who have a part in this first resurrection: Rev. 20:6; 1 Cor. 15:53-57.—Rev. E. P. Marvin.
The writing instrument, corresponding movements of the receiving pen, which is like the pen or pencil of the transmitting pen, and is held between two rods placed at right angles to each other. These rods convey the electrical current, which moves the pen up or down or horizontally, according as the transmitting pen is moved. Every movement of the latter is thus instantaneously and accurately reproduced by the former, though the two may be a thousand miles apart. But not only has the inventor made provision for thus moving the two pens synchronously: he has also provided an arrangement whereby the sender of the message is able, as he writes, to dot his i's and cross his t's, and to turn back, if he desires to do so, to make erasures or interlineations, and to move the paper at the receiving end, so that the message may be reproduced as it is first written, in successive lines, one below another.
"In short, whatever the writer of the message might do with a pen or pencil, without the aid of the electrical instruments and the connecting wire, he can by the aid of these do simultaneously at both ends of the wire, and so that the message received shall be as truly in his own handwriting as is the one sent; and it requires no more skill or previous training to wield the transmitting and receiving pen, than it does to wield the pen with which these words are written. Nor is this all. Not only will the telautograph exactly reproduce the written messages, it will also, with equal accuracy, reproduce the strokes and lines and nice shadings of the artist's pen or pencil. 'Our artist on the spot' may thus telautograph to his newspaper a complete and vivid picture of a railroad accident, a steamboat explosion, an Anarchistic riot, a military parade, or a political procession. The instant that he completes his picture in Chicago, for instance, that instant it is complete in the newspaper office in New York."
