Show A femalo Saviour and her apostles are creating a prodigious sensation in the southern part of the Russian Empire. Em-pire. The Russian papers say that the leader of these women, whose name is Anashiria Gabacrewici, claims to have performed a number oi miracles, having made the blind see and the lame walk- A vision first revealed to her that she was the daughter of God, selected to sutler for the redemption of her sex, in the same way as Christ suffered for the other. Immediately vfter this revelation rev-elation she gave up eating meat and drinking brandy, and prepared herself her-self for her mission. The Holy Ghost then possessed her, and gave her the power to work wonders with a mere word. She claims to be able to res-urrecteven res-urrecteven the dead, by simply touching touch-ing them, and so strong is the faith of the ignorant masses in this new prophetess, that the prison to which she is now consigned by the authorities author-ities has become a place of pilgrimage pilgrim-age for thousands. The sick are brought from distant localities to receive re-ceive the assistance of the inspired woman, and the keepers receive large bribes for permission to eee her. Every day new stories of her extraordinary extra-ordinary powers are circulated far and wide. |
