A Nineteenth Century Joan.
A prophetess has arisen at Chartres, the diocese mo9t favored in France by supernatural visions. She calls horself Marie Genevieve du Saere* Coeur, and declares that Jesus appears to her in visions. Her story is that He desires the foundation of a religious house at Loigny, where there was a fight between the Prussians and the Pontifical Zouaves in 1870. This house is to be the parent one of an Order of the Spouses of the Saered Heart of Penitent Jesus, and the nuns who enter it are to devote themselves to prayer and pious works, so as to avert the Divine anger from France, and bring about the restoration of the Monarchy under XI. Marie Genevi6ve was not told in the vision whether this prince is Don Carlos or the member of the Naundorff family known as Charles Louis ; N but in good time a further revelation will be made. The Bishop of Chartres has decided, after due inquiry, that the prophetess has no good evidence to show in support of her revelations. As his decision was scouted he has caused it to be published. Mary Genevieve has been interviewed. She refuses to retract. "God," she says, " confounds the proud and exalts the simple. A Bishop treated Joan of Arc as an impostor, and the voices which inspired her as Satanic suggestions."
