that she was unjustly condemned by
a corrupt court, which was deter
mined upon her death before the trial
began; to see that the church realized
the false position into which it had
been led by the malice of the English
and the complaisance Of the bishop of
Beauvais, and promptly and COM
pletely annulled the verdict of the
court, even if it could not bring back
to life the condemned "heretic.' 1t

sOnable doubt that Jeanne never de-

tablishes her sincerity, aud her

edged by the existing Congregation Of
Rites OF the church.
The Claims as to Miracles.
There remain to be proved the
miracles she is said to have per-
formed, and before she can be canon
lied two miracles must, by the laws
of the church, be accomplished thru
her intercession after it has been
proved to the satisfaction of the pope
and his cardinals that miracles were
performed by her during her lifetime
The age Of miracles has, for most Of
us, long gone by. But in fifteenth
century France miracles were by no
means rare; I speak, of course, Of
what passed for miracles, and of such
performances scores are attributed to
Jeanne dare by witnesses who testify
with entire sincerity to her super
human powers. There are first Of all
the voices by which the maid was
directed in all her works. Unfor-
tunately these manifestations depend
upon her testimony alone and so may
be put aside. Others than Jeanne can
be brought to testify to her power to
work miracles.
The Count de Dunois, who fought
with the Maid at Orleans begins his
evidence in the rehabilitation proceed
ings of 1455 with the statement: "I
think that Jeanne was sent by God
and that her behavior was divine
rather than human. Many reasons
make me think So" And then the
witness goes on to tell how the wind
lchanged' at the moment fortuitous to
Charles army; how, in fact, everything
| turned out exactly as she said. An
other companion in arms, the Duke
d'AlencOn, says that he studied the
works at Orleans, "and think to

the witness adds with touch Of un-
conscious humor, "she had SO much
compassion that, when she saw them
dying or wounded, she had them con-
fessed.' In the same record is found
the evidence of Brother Seguin de
Seguin, Dominican, Professor of The
ology, Dean Of the Faculty of Poi
tiers" who mentions six prophesies
made by Jeanne which were fulfilled
in the minutest details, and concludes:
| 'As for me, I believe she was sent
from God, because, at the time she APP
peared, the king and all the French
people had lost hope. No one thought
