BN REV. JOHN J. kE.lNE

The reports oC recent happenings at the grave Of Rev. Patrick Powers. q Catholic priest in Maiden, Mass have naturally aroused much inter- est. and priests everywhere are being asked, What do Eou think Of the miraculous cures which ara said 10 have been crfeoioda 2 What is the po- sition oF tho Catholic church in tho IGattorn" Cardinal 0'Connau of Ros- ion, the highest dlguirary in Now England. is reported 10 layc visited Maiden on at least two accosions. and many marvel that no statement in proof or denial Of inc miracles has been forthcoming from him.
 To understand the seeming lack Of action on the part Of inc church au- thoritios, it. must be remembered that the Catholic church is very conservative institution with the OK pericncc Of two thousand years be hind her. She moves slowly and con- sarvatiyely This IS not the first time in her long history that wonderful events have transpircd at tho tomb of one Of Ter children There is no need for haste When the first great excitement has subIdcd, when the immense thronGs now Hooking 10 the grave Of Father Powers have ceased to congragatc there. then. no doubt. will the church act. She will investigate, and measure and weigh. long and carefully before she makes any declaration.
 Do you think that Father Pow CTS is q Saint" is being asked Of priests several times daily. No one can answer this question al this time. Saints are not canonized in q day. It is a process requiring long years.
 What about the curcs?" Are they real ?" We may be rest assured of one thing Before Father Powers is declared :, Saint by the Catholic church, at least three miracles will have been proven. Thos miracles will have been substanliatcd by the sworn statements of competent phy- sicians. having examined the persons both before and after the cures. There will be no gnca8Worli, no hearsay, no hit-or-miss judgments. These miracles will have been prov on to the complete satisfaction of a tribunal composed Of some of tho highest dignitaries Of the church. The Pope, the visible hoad Of the church. and Vicar Of Jesus Christ on earth. alone can proclaim any Of it's members q Saint.
 Tn closing. if may Of interest 10 readers to know that at the shrine of Our Lady Of T.ourdos in France, it is estimated that about 4000 cures have been obtained within the first 50 years Of its existence. Near the shrine there stands. inc Bureau Of Affirmation. md there are recorded and checked the certificates of mal- adies, and also the certificates Of cure; it ie free 10 all physicians Of whatever nationality or religious ho- lief. Consequently, on an average, from two to three hundred physi- clans annually visit this marvellous clinic.
 These facts are related here so that it may be clear how carefully inc Catholic church acts in declaring that miracles have been performed
