THE TRUTH CONCERNING
MIRACLES AT ST. ANNE'S
Continued from Page ~

i'll gratitude to St. Anne, desires to make known the
blessing conferred upon her through her interces-
sion. She accompanied the pilgrimage suffering
greatly from rheumatism in the lower limbs. Up to
the time of our leaving the pain had entirely disap
peared, and in the convent life which the young
lady has chosen, one more heart full OF gratitude
to st. Anne will be found clustered
Among the ten-day tourists who returned to Bos-
ton on special train from the White Mountains,
Tuesday night was Miss Adele Boutin, Is Park
avenue, Somerville, Mass. Since childhood Miss
Boutin has been partially deaf, and subject to very
severe headaches, which physicians were powerless
to relieve. The deafness still remains, but the Sc
we're pains in the head from which she has suffered
almost constantly. have been entirely cured.
Another to return with the party Tuesday night
was Miss Annie Reynolds, % South avenue, Revere,
Mass. who for years has suffered with a. deformity
of the hand which was wholly cured.
A most remarkable cure was effected in the case
of Miss Ella Stoddart Merose Highlands, Mass,
suffering with cataract the eye, and partially
blind. witness, kneeling beside her when her eye
was touched with the relic of st. Anne describes
it as a white scar drawn up and down and across
the eye though the eye entirely laid open by
sharp knife, and into the opening the cataract
absorbed. She was met IN the morning going to
the basilica by Father McCaerty. At that time she
was wearing glasses. He met her again as he was
leaving, without the glasses, and heard her state
ment that the sight had been entirely restored in
one eye.
A particularly grateful recipient is found in
Mrs. o Reilly Union square, Somerville Mass. She
had suffered for many years with stomach trouble
and when she suggested accompanying the pilgrim
age to St. Anne's, was advised by clergyman to go
by herself, in order that every convenience and
comfort possible might be secured for her trip he
fearing that the crowded pilgrimage would be too
hard for her. She arrived in st. Anne's early in
June, and was located at the Franciscan convent
where Father McCaferty and his mother, and many
of the Boston Pilgrims including myself, found
accommodations.
Mrs. O'Reilly took part in the exercises of our
Iridium, and although specialists agreed that her
trouble was beyond help, and although for ten years
she had been confined to liquid food for her sus-
tepance she left the shrine entirely cured and with
a heart full of JOY and thankfulness.
Not all are cured-by no means-but whatever
the condition of their physical infrmities after
their visit their faith is strengthened beyond all
doubt. One example with which we were brought
in close contact will serve as fair illustration a
young lady attractive and prepossessing in appear
ance, but almost totally deaf, had journeyed from
Michigan for the second time, brought hither by
her confidence that through the intercession of ST.
Anne, her infrmity would be overcome Always
cheerful and confident her attendance at every
mony was faithful. Enlisting the prayers of her
newly-made friends, her confidence never tagged.
until the final morning came Her return from the
church delayed. When she did come the light
of faith shone In her eyes; there was no trace of
encouragement apparent. Whatever disappoint-
nent may have been felt had been left at the feet of
