From an early hour on Sunday mora ing, I was told, there had been a con tinuous procession through the grottu. Some would pause for a moment to pray before the modest shrine erected in honour of the Blessed There, and then, joining the greater multitude, would pass before the grotto tasting of the waters of the artificial spring before kissing the rock of Lourdes. Many brought bottles in which to carry away the wators to share with their logs fortunate brethren. It was pathetic to see the sublime faith with which those afflicted with bodily in- firmities approached the well, from the mystic properties of whose waters ther hoped for so much Many would pause! after drinking from the small metal cup, as though fully expectant that the cure would manifest itself there and then.
