OUCH great crowds swarmed the

The temple grew to a vast, highly

TTERETOFORE the advertising of

or less person n-to-person proposition.
Word was circulated among the
church-going people that here, at

the faith she inspired.
The miracles were what stirred
up comment. Base souls sometimes
slyly wink when Sisters healingS
