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?

“The finger of God is in the land!” was the cry, and tens of thousands of Catholics from all over the country gathered in Munster.

There was a certain man by the name of Friedhoff who doubted the proclaimed powers of this Mother Superior and boldly declared his doubt, and the Catholic world was indignant over the audacity of such a doubt.  It was learned that the Mother Superior would allow but one sister of the institution to come to her room, and also her Father Confessor.  By the way, it might be pertinent to say that the Mother Superior was an extremely handsome young lady; in fact, very young for the position she occupied.

The guard that was placed over the Mother Superior was given instructions by the Mayor of Munster to watch her closely and see that she lived entirely upon “Holy Communion.”  The Protestant world took an active part in this matter and gave close attention to the guard that was over this “Mother Superior,” as they were determined to learn from whence originated this bold deception, as they were thoroughly convinced that it was nothing more nor less than a deception.
