throws to Him a rose. II touches Ills

finds that although 1t has been trampled
upon by the multitude 1t has lost mono
of it's freshness. fragrance or beauty. A
miracle has been wrought. All her life
Claudia cherishes the wondrous flower,
and, through it's aid, prodgies are per-
formed by her. She touches it TO
rock, and water gushes forth to relieve
the thirsting Christians in the Manner
tine prison. Out of utter darkness, it
causes a luminous cross to appear. 1t
gives back reason TO a demented brain.
II destroys the statue of Jupiter, and
even restores to life dead child, Claudia
meets a martyrs death in the palace of
Empress Agripplns, and is. transported
to Paradise holding close to her heart
