Occasionally one may see some con.
irmation In Catholic papers OF Father
Chiniquy's accounts OF Rome's In
iquitles. On page 32s Of his Fifty
Years in the Church OF Rome. he tells
OF q priest who said: Il am ready to
swear before God that not a single
miracle has been wrought In my
church since ! have come here 80
years ago. Every one Of the facts
given TO the people as miraculous
cures are sheer impositions and de-
.ceptions, and the work OF either fools
or Of clever impostors and hypocrites.
OF those crutches 80 out OF hundred
have been left by poor lazy beggars."
He tells how able-bodlcd mea tramped
with one or two erutehes begging for
money. Finally growing weary OF
such a life the cTutches had TO be dis
posed OF In some way. What better
thing offered Itself than the shrine Of
st. Anne? Begging all the way there,
and promising the people they would
return and show themselves II the
Saint had performed the cure. they
reached the shrine, throw down their
crutehes and yelled, "a miracle. n
miracle!T On their retura they would
show themselves TO the people who
had given them money before, and
this time they would get ten times as
much money! In a recent copy OF
The Catholic Lsht there is an ac-
count OF young man who studied for
the priesthood and who had an all

Baltimore and Washington could not
