SAY THEY SAW THE VIRGIN.
A Vision as Described by Two Little Girls in
Quebec Province,

QUEBEC July IA story OF the apparition OF
the Virgin Mary to two little girls at Roberval.
on the shore Of Lake st. John. is exciting deep
interest In this province. The girls are cousins
named Cloutier. and one Is g. the other years
OF age. They say they saw the vision while on
the way home from school In the village OF
Roberval to the residence OF their parents.
farmers residing couple Of miles away.
Their story is told about like this: As they
were walking home together they saw by the
side OF the road Immediately before them very
tall and handsome lady dressed in long white
robe. wearing a very brilliant crown upon her
head and having gold chapet sus pen ded from
her black girdle. Two little girls accompanied
her They were also dressed In white and had
brilliant wings. One OF the children recog-
nized in these girls her two little sisters and
the other her cousins. who died about a year ago
The girls OF the vision spoke to the cousins and
told them that they were their guardian angels.
The cousins asked them who was the beautiful
lady accompanying them and were told that
she was the mother OF Jesus. Then the Virgin
herself spoke to the schoolgirls and told them
to 20 at o'clock that night to large pine
stump near the home OF one OF them;
The appartion disappeared from them grad
cousins pointed after her to the other School
children who were with them exclaiming;
is the Blessed VirGinl', The other children
could see nothing, and not understanding
what the cousins meant they became frightene ed
and ran away. The cousins ran the rest of the
way home in a state OF joyous excitement. and
| told their parents what they had seen and
heard Their parents would not at first be-
| lieve their story. and endeavored to persuade
| them that they had been mistaken. The chill
dren could not be convinced. and eagerly
| awaited the evening hour fixed by the Virgin
| for another meeting. Their parents watched
| them from the door Of the house near the pine
stump. but could see nothing except tho little
| children kneeling on the ground. with their
| eyes raised and happy smile upon their faces.
When the children returned they were in the
| same transport OF JOY as before. They de-
soribod part Of the vision. but declared that
they were unable to relate all that the Virgin
had told them. They say that thoy frequently
| saw the apparition OF the Madonna before.
| but that she never spoke to them on any form or
occasion.
The parents OF the little girls tell the story
with reserve and discretion. They say that
| their daughters are quite ordinary children
loving study and recreation. each in its proper
| sphere. that they have been always full Of life
| and health and that the alleged apparitlons
have effected no change in their habits and
| character. While some OF the people OF the
| locality are quite skeptcal in regard to the
| visions. and believe them to have been simply
| imaginative. there are many believers In the
| whole story.
