a MIRACLE,
The miracle that happened at the
Church OF the Immaculate Conception
has caused tremendous sensation. A
large number OF persons will testify tc
the nature Of the event, and to put II
mildly the circumstances are really re-
markable. May deyotions wer0 In
progress on Friday night when the wa
ter descended upon Cambria City, The
church was filled with people at the time,
hut when the noise Of the flood was
heard the congregation hastened To
get out Of the way. They succeeded
us far as escaping from the interior is
concerned, md in a few moments the
church was partially submerged. Tho
water reaching 10 feet up the sides and
twirling around the corners furiously,
Tho building was badly wreched. The
benches were torn out and in general
the entire structure, both inside and
outside, was fairly dismantled. Yester-
day morning when IN entrance was
forced through tho blocked door
way the ruin appeared to be COM
plete. One alone had escaped the
waters wrath. The statue OF the
Blessed Virgin, that had been decorated
md adorned because OF the May devo=
ions, was rs unsullied as the day 1t was
made. The flowers, the wreaths and
.he lace veil were undisturbed and un.
sojIed. Not wrinkle was observable in
Is outlines. The marks on the wall
Ihowed that around thektatue, which Is
,hree feet high, the surface Of water had
.isen to n height OF fifteen feet, while the
jtatue had been saved from oil contact
With the liquid Every one who has
Ieen the statue and It's surroundings Is
jrmIy convinced the incident was a
one and even to the most

lotural.
