Lourdes Shrine Observes 100th Anniversary By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent One hundred years ago this week, a 14-.year-old peasant girl named Bernadette Sou birous set out from the village of Lourdes, France, to gather firewood along the banks of a stream in the Pyrenees Mountains. She came home with a story that baffled and dis turbed her parents a story that many people are still un able to believe. Bernadette said she saw a vision of the Virgin Mary in a stone grotto. Her experience was repeated 17 times in the next few weeks. During one of these visits to the grotto, Bernadette dug with her hands in the rock at the instructions of the vision, she said and uncovered a spring. , Becomes A Shrine Today this spring, still flowing at a rate of 8,000 gal lons a day, is second only to Rome as a pilgrimage place for Roman Catholics through out the world. It also draws many Protestants and non Christians a total of some two million visitors a year. Lourdes has become a shrine because thousands of desperately sick, people have become well after plunging into the icy waters of Berna dette's spring. Fifty - four of these cures have been formally accepted by the Catholic church as miracles. The church's standards for proclamation of a miracle are very strict. They require, among other things, that the patient must have been suffer ing from a clearly organic ailment, such as cancer or a bone deformity rather than any condition like paralysis that might have a psychoso matic cause. Requires Medical Proof There also must be detailed medical documentation, in cluding laboratory tests, of the patient's physical condi tion before and after bathing in the spring. Follow-up medi cal examinations are conduct ed for at least three years after the alleged cure to as certain that it is permanent. A medical bureau at Lour des examines all pilgrims who claim to have undergone miraculous cures. Since this bureau was set .up 22 years ago, it has record ed more than 3,000 recoveries from disease or deformity which doctors held to be be yond explanation by medical science. The Catholic churcri has taken pains to emphasize to centennial year pilgrims that, for at least 999 out of each thousand who go there, Lour des has only spiritual benefits to offer. But how do you account for the thousandth person who goes into the baths an invalid and comes out whole? For those who do not believe in miracles, Lourdes remains a great unanswered question. St. Luke's Church Starts Construction The congregation of St. Luke's Methodist church will meet at 11 a.m. for divine worship in the Bigham Hall, fair grounds.
