  1. (continued from previous page)
    came and again the Rev. Mother prayed that they would not interfere with them.
    But they did and they were struck blind. Then the Rev. Mother took pity on them, and she said to them to wash their eyes in the holy well, and they did.
    Then their eyes got better and from that out people who have sore eyes go there and it is said there is a salmon seen inside in the well. Many cures have been effected there.
