WEEPING CRUCIFIX.
MYSTIFIED WORBHIPPERB. MANY REDUCED TO TEARS The weeping crucifix in the paristl church at Limpias, Spain, is again mystifying the priest and parishioners. People kneeling before the crucifix have been reduced to tears, declaring that the Saviour looked at them —at some in a kindly manner, at others gravely. Many say they saw tears in His eyes; others noticed drops of blood running down from the temples. Some have seen the lips froth. On the otheP hand, people haunting the church for days on end sympathetically or without belief have seen nothing. Several doctors, some of whom were at first sceptical, say they have seen the vision (says a special correspondent of the Sunday Chronicle). One medical man declared he saw Christ open and close His mouth and His face become distorted. He added that he watched the transformations through binoculars, from different parts of the church. “While I was in the Sacristy after Mass,” the parish priest states, “one of the Capuchin Fathers informed me that several people asserted that the figure of Christ was opening and closing its eyes.”
