I will now relate what I saw in Munster, Germany. The news spread all
through Germany that the "Mother Superior" of the house of Saint
Clement was living upon "Holy Communion" only.

Now that the reader may understand what "Holy Communion" is, I will
here state that it is a thin wafer, used for sacramental purposes,
which would not weigh more than the one-hundredth part of an ounce,
and this is what they claimed the Mother Superior of the house of
Saint Clement was existing upon, she only taking one of these wafers
every twenty-four hours.

Of course, this was given out by the dignitaries of the Catholic
Church in order to blind their followers, and I desire to state
right here that I also believed that this was the fact until it was
demonstrated thoroughly that it was an infamous lie and that the
instigators were infamous impostors. However, pilgrimages started
from all directions to see this "Mother Superior," and when they
could not see her, they fought for the opportunity of praying in her
chapel. Some stayed for weeks and weeks to see her. Applications for
intercessions of all kinds of misery were sent to her, as these
simple "dupes" of Catholicism actually believed that this impostor
had the power to heal any ailment that might afflict them.

There were thousands of fanatics who visited Munster and hung their
crutches on the chapel walls and declared they were cured of their
ailment. The blind claimed to see by her intercessions. It was
claimed that all, possessed of every kind and description of
ailments, could be cured if the one who was afflicted only had faith
in this Mother Superior's wonderful power?
