On the day Of the Immaculate Conception

under the leadership of a fanatioal priest
named Ugarte, were celebrating in the old
Church Of the Jesuits, with lights of oil, liz

known in pyrotechnics, causing the church to
blaze as q sea Of fire and futter with clouds
of muslin and gauze draperie8, Urgate had
persuaded himself and simple followers, that
by this foolish display, unwarranted either by
the church or common sense, they were in
Vokirg an JUNCTION that would put them in d.
rect communication with the Holy Virgin. A
letter-box had been provided near the altar
by which the daughters of Mary were induced
to believe they could correspond wirh the
Mother of God in writing. An Apostolic
Nunci had declared that he had seen a more
brilliant Illumination of church at Rome.

on this occasion such an illumination as the
world has never seen, and he kept his word,
