POSSIBLE NEW SAINT
CLAIM FOR SCOTTISH GIRL Will Margaret Sinclair, a Scottish girl who died only a year or two ago, be canonised by the Pope as a saint? A movement with this* object in view has been taking place for some time past. It has been announced that Roman Catholic bishops and priests of Scotland will meet in Edinburgh to consider the evidence submitted by people in all parts of Great Britain and Ireland who assert that they benefited miraculously through her intercession. The ecclesiastical finding and report to the Pope will determine whether or not she w’ill be beautified and canonised. Margaret Sinclair was a humble working girl of Edinburgh—her mother still lives there—who is credited with having performed her ordinary duties in supernatural fashion during her life as a nun in the Franciscan order. If this Scottish girl becomes a saint she will be first of her sex in Scotland to be. canonised for nearly 700 years. The last was Queen Margaret, who was made a saint in 1250.
