a press agent but I'm not thinking of

putting over a movie now whoever turned

those statues wasn't trying to sell a

picture for Marcus Harris I tell you.

Father God was trying to say life's all

right it's not as bad as it seems I'm up

here watching and trying to help and if

he didn't say it if nobody up there said

it don't you see father it's been said

because it's in their hearts now it'll

go out all over the world and if God

doesn't speak like that out of heaven

he'll be speaking out of people's hearts

and what's the difference where he

speaks from your job isn't to hide his

word is it

no it isn't to hide his word the Saints

came to Joan of Arc because she believed

in God and wanted to help someone the

people of France olga believed in God

just as much she wanted to help the

people of coal town just as much give

her the chance for that Paul

come with me bill

something strange and wonderful has

happened the faces of the Blessed Virgin

and st. Michael I've turned a look on

one who lies among us in a coffin I will

not speak of what made the statues

turned others will tell you the answer

to that later I speak to you or no other

miracle than the one we know the miracle

of the augers of the world of those who

live and dream only to bring heaven into

our lives if it is no more than a smile

of fellowship or a moment of beauty alga

died for this that the world might see

through her toil and sacrificed the

beauty there was in the tired and lonely

hearts of her people I know what makes a

saint and I also know what makes a

beautiful human being such a one lies

not a seat that is playful

This is Jones of The Associated Press

get me the AP of New York and reverse

the charges hurry it up will oh just a

moment Cole town Pennsylvania a little

mining town which is already the focus

of national attention as a result of all

its church bells ringing day and night

for the funeral of Alcatraz governor

yesterday the scene of a new sensation

shortly before Mass began at 5:40 this

morning in the Church of st. Michael two

large marble statues weighing many

hundreds of pounds were seen to move and

turn as if to look at the coffin of Olga

which lies before the altar

all who saw the amazing turning of the

statues are convinced that it was a

miracle explanations are being offered

that a movement of the earth beneath the

church which is honeycombed with old

mining tunnels move the pillars on which

the statue stand the bishop is sending a

representative to coal town to

investigate but what their miracle or

not attended all his coffin the life of

this young actress reads like the story

of a latter-day Saint mr. Harris mr.

Harris sorry to break in like this mr.

Harris something from Mendes has

happened there's a mob of newspaper

reporters downstairs well what's

happened what are you talking about the

mirror tremendous miracle well what

we're aware what do you want a coal town

oh don't tell me this is too much listen

Marcus a miracle has happened to Olga

triskele that I own here such blanket

sacrilegious

if Dunnigan thinks that it isn't.

Dunnigan two huge stone statues at the

altar turned to look at Olga and her

cloth what do you mean it isn't done

again do you think for one moment God is

interested in selling movies for me

never heard such bunk and you believe it

the whole country believes it markets

let me explain I don't explain anything

list and donegan's gone too far

miracles

I wired him we're signing Genevieve

James so he pulls a miracle when a man

starts fooling people about religion

starts faking miracles as a press agent

stunt I'm through but Marcus this is the

real thing

the statues turned people saw early paid

someone to turn them Marcus don't you

believe in miracles you've just made a

picture about one Joan of Arc I believe

in miracles I was brought up to believe

in God and in miracles

if he made them what the difference is

as follows Moses didn't pay anyone to

hold back the Red Sea Daniel didn't pay

to get out of the Lions then and Jonah

didn't pay to get out of that whale I

don't stand for any press-agent miracles

I'm going downstairs and exposed bill.

Dunnigan and tell those newspaper people

is the biggest faker in America listen

Marcus here it is on the radio issue

here will be that of the distinguished

correspondent mr. Quentin Reynolds who

has flown here to coal town to report on

the amazing happening in the Church of

st. Michael the Archangel mr. Reynolds

the whole country is asking did a

miracle occur in coldtown but here in

the little mining community no one asks

that question every man woman and child

here believes that the grace of God has

touched them to them a miracle has

happened what is a miracle the word

miracle comes from the Latin and it

means a wonderful thing

well most certainly a wonderful thing

has happened here something so wondrous

that it has torn the bitterness and the

doubts from the hearts of the people

brought them back to God whether this is

a miracle or not that is up to the

church authorities to decide but I do

know this when Alcatraz Kovner was

brought home a wonderful thing happened

and everyone here is convinced that

somehow divine providence is blessing

coaltown and the people in it

it'll take some time to answer all these

letters and tomorrow they'll be more you

don't ask them let me get her secretary

she answers him a secretary although

they were written to me we are being

given a new organ in the roof of the

church but doesn't know all the cloths

and two stained-glass windows and my

desk is full of checks for the poor and

the world has come to st. Michael's to

pray I must thank you Bill thank me

isn't that a little funny coming from

you

you mean you still believe in the

miracle I've been standing in the church

most of the day I am set on a line a

copy you remember father when I told you

how I couldn't tell Olga what I felt

well this is the second time in my life

that I've been dumb I can't tell the

world about this that's how I know

what's real father because I'm no good

at selling anything that's real I guess
