plainly, but he did not speak too soon, for the
Roman Catholic world was becoming impatient at
his silence, and when he declared that to doubt
the miracles OF La Salette was TO violate all the
laws OF human evidence he spoke no more than
the simple truth. Some OF the most eminent men
in France, after anxious and scrupulous examina-
tion, mad declared themselves satisfied that these
miracles had actually taken place and had soemnly
recorded their belief In them.
