She thanks Hudson for the check. She hopes the missing number which contained the quota of Cyril will soon appear. It must have been lost in the mail. She is going to tell Hudson of an account of a grace granted to a poor sufferer by Our Lady of Lourdes. The girl was dying with an incurable disease of the heart and had spent her whole fortune on doctors and medicine to no effect. She lost the use of her limbs and was attended in her room by the Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul. She made the pilgrimage to Lourdes, France and those who rode with her in the carriage thought she would die enroute. The first day no result came but on the next day they laid her on the altar for 45 minutes and the entire crowd prayed for her aloud. Suddenly she rose up and without any help got down from the altar and walked home to the hospital with the crowd following her. Miss O'Meara's mother saw the girl before she went to Paris and thought she was dying and when Miss O'Meara saw her yesterday she was up and about. Soeur Teresa took her to see an Englishman named James Trowbridge whom she has known for some time. He was suffering from a disease of the spine and the sufferings were great. There was a discharge from the wounds which called for careful dressing and constant changing of the bedclothes. He was a Protestant but became a Catholic; F. Denis could tell of his conversion. He heard about Lourdes and decided to go there but the doctors said he was incurable and could not be moved. The Sisters got a certificate from another doctor and he made the pilgrimage to Lourdes. When he arrived at Politiers the Deaf and Dumb Fathers dressed his wounds with Kindness but believed him too seriously ill to make the 20 hour journey so the order was given that he should not go further and he was left in the dormitory. He cried aloud and two Brothers heard him, dressed his wounds, and loaded him on the last car of the train that was just leaving. His back was so bad when they arrived the Brothers dared not hold him so they laid him on a sheet and lifted him into the water. No change came the first day but he insisted that he would be well the next day and he was again carried to the fountain. Everyone was praying for him and the Brothers in charge told him he must pray for himself. The cold water seemed to paralyze him and he could not utter a word. He could not describe the feeling that came over him when he suddenly said he was cured. He came out of the bath and when the Brothers wanted to aid him in dressing he told them he could dress himself. When he reached the open air the crowd was shouting the "Magnificat" in thanksgiving. He walked back to the hospital. One English doctor who pronounced his disease incurable was amazed when he saw him walking, and Trowbridge declared that the Blessed Virgin had healed him. Another threatened to throw him out as an imposter. As Miss O'Meara was closing her letter, Trowbridge came to see her mother to tell her his story. They gave him some books and a bundle of Ave Marias. When he saw the blue cover of the Ave Maria he said, "Oh! I know this little magazine as it was here I first read about Our Lady of Lourdes." Miss O'Meara congratulates Hudson on the rebuilding of Notre Dame which to her is a miracle. The missing July number has just arrived. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 8pp. 8vo.
