The Holy Bible gives us only one instance of the dead being brought to life that miracle is accomplished by Jesus when he calls upon Lazarus to come forth and Lazarus does. Its one thing when Jesus does it but quite another when a mere mortal of no particular distinction claims he can duplicate this miracle, not only claims it but says that he can prove it. That was the situation in a little town in Ohio in 1808 as the towns people waited his arrival with high and mixed emotions.
