' j -i : ' ! j It is possible that the cure of ti toothache should be as truly miraculous as the instantaneous cure of caries ; but to record the toothache cure in print as a "favor" for which public thanksgiving is to be returned is to afflict the good taste of the Catholic body and to invite the derision of the ungodly without any show of reason, says Ave Maria. Among the "thanksgivings'' recorded in a pious periodical for July we find the following: "Cure of a severe earache; increase of salarv; speedy cure of a swollen neck; cure of a weak back; relief from toothache; the finding of a good private hoarding house; relief from pain in the head." In all these cases the beneficiaries do well to be grateful grate-ful if they believe that these "favors" have come to ihenl through the pious Use of a sacred badge or the agency of "blessed water"; but it is morally impossible for others to share their belief, and hence we question the wisdom of the publication. . |
