She wa seated UMn a largo gold embroidered chair, In the grand hall, having Mother Urmilu upon her right and KUter Annunelata upon tho left. It would Imj tlrcHomo to re- peat all that pitKHod between Mudumu and myHolf during thl Interview.

They became o Irritated that each time I attempted to apeak Mother Ursula and tho auporlor (topped mo ordering mo to keep to tnyaelf those frightful blas phemies. Finally they spoke of punish ment, and tho fust and penitence wero the gentlest of nil tho thing with which they threatened mo. 'During all thl time Hlstor Annun elata had not breathed a word; she re mained mute and solemn by tho side of tho Madame, At length, prod ting by moment of silence, she suggested that It would bo well perhaps to Inquire by what means I had acquired tho know ledge of those herellcul principle that I had drawn from tho Holy Horlptures In distorting and falsifying them from their proper sense, . " 'It Is Impossible that she could pro- euro a IHblo In this house,' an id Mother Ursula, f '"Hut by Mmo, Hiirlhelmy,' aialn suggested Annunelata. " 'Lot that lie taken euro of later!' cried tho superior, 'Wo will search her cell and her person; wo cannot trust her word. Hut wa can ask her,' "And then, looking mo full In tho fuco, she said: "'C'larlsse, I command you, In tho name of all that you hold most saeied, to tell me If you posses a Bible,' "I rememHor that at thl question I shot a glit nee at Annunelata which made berehango color; hut I responded to Madame' questions: " 'My word will not miflleo you any longer, my mother. Let It be done a Annunelata ha proposed, that there be search evory where. If tho Holy Vol ume I found in my possession, they will learn from whenoo I have drawn tho tho principle that have made mo what I am.' "Annunelata bit her lips and her beautiful black eye shot oi.t lightening glance, 1 wa at the aarno time warned by the Inward monitor that I more Hinotratlng than a two edged sword, that In my tcn'ionse to Madame I had dcpar'od from that gentleness that ought Ut distinguish a child of God. "I folt constrained to throw myself upon my knee liofore her to whom I had been lacking In respect, ask her pardon, and promise to bo more olied lent to her In all thing which wore not forbidden by an authority higher than her own, I told her further t at 1 would servo the sister a a domestic; that I would up)Krt, with God' help, all tho penitence sho might Inflict, pro vided that she would permit mo to re frain from following the form of wor hip that my conscience prevented me approving, "Tho HKr woman wa moved while I remained kneeling Isjforo her.

' 'Do you try to place condition upon mo, miserable heretic?' cried ho, Arise! go! Nothlrg will deliver you except a total retraction of all your curaed principle.' "Saying these word she lifted mo to rnv feet, and commanded "those who were present to carefully aoarch my cell and person to find the interdicted volume.

Hut In the dlHjKmttlon of mind In which 1 was, I regarded It a an Immense favor to lie delivered from the services of the choir and to bo left to my rellectlon and to that communion with God which bo. nine each day more sweet by tho in. ward teaching and consolation of the Holy Spirit. And what pleasure would havo boon mine If I had dared to pas my solitary hour in reading tho Holy Word! but I felt that It would bo too great a risk to draw my treasure from It hiding place at inch a moment. "Such wa my situation when Honor- ino took the black veil; hut tho day after thl event Mother Ursula came and commanded me on tho part of the abbess to descend to the chapel and to follow tho acrviee of the choir a for merly; holding for certain, snld she, that I wun now a good Catholic, as tho penitence that had been Inllleted upon ma had accomplished their work and attained tho proposed object, This order throw me Into great anguish, for had never yet examined a to what point I ought to obey the rule of tho house, With whtt' joy I would havo then escaped from the convent! Hut I was abut In behind barrier of Iron and strictly watched, "When sho govo mo tho command message, 1 resH)mliid: " 'Vou know, venerable mother, that my principle forbid my conforming to the obedience that tho church exact. Hut all bond are tho same to mo, God Is everywhere, and III ear I always open to me; so when I am Kneeling In tho choir 1 am able to address my prayer tt sincerely to Him when I am under tho arch of hcoven, I do not refuse then to obey the obbo In de scending to the chajxil; but I will not open my mouth in any of tho service which the church command, under- tand well, my mother,' I continued, a alio wished to speak, 'I have been di vinely led to consider that whatever Imj tho change which ha been produced In my religious opinion, a long Mttdamo I tho superior of thl house, I fool that I ought to obey her In every thing which accord with my most siwrcd dutlc and my Inestimable privi lege; and a I hold a Insignificant all the form which do n it form a part of Idolatrous worship, I arn redy to do as many thing as Madame shall think host,' "Mother Ursula wo a llttlo deaf; she made me repeat all that I had said catching only the word Idolatrous, and asking me what I meant by It, 'What I wish to say l thl, the Scripture declare that there I only onenamo under heaven by which mon can 1st saved, I am then forced to re gard a Idolatrou all worship that doe not have God alone for It object; so, with tho help of God, I will suffer death sooner than to adore a created being, or any symbol whatever that may bo. I adore only the Savior,' "At thl declaration Mother Ursula eem d to lose all command o'f herself. Halslng her voice, sho poured out: against mo a torrent of Insult and the expression, 'accursed,' 'daughter of Satan,' that she pronounced In a loud voice, brought Sister Annunelata. " 'Mother,' said she, 'tho ear of the holy sister ought never to bo soiled by a controversy such a that vu havo had with thl ' She hesitated, not knowing by what term Uj designate me; but closing the door behind her, she demanded what had passed, Mother Ursula answered that I had declared a Idolatrou all worship given to any name aave that of tho Hon of God, '"The uporlor ask for you, my mother,' replied Annunelata; 'leave mo with thl apostate. I know how it I necessary to deal with her; and remem ber, thl i nover to be known to tho other alsters, who aro a yet obedient to our holy mother.'

'First, I re mark that I do not give any weight to my own Judgment, when I remember that the revelation of God I the only rule of our life, and that which doe not como from It ought never to be received a an article of faith.

"To pretend that I had been enllgh ned hy cclcstiul light without some sensible means would have been untrue, I was filled with embarrassment. To hide tho question, I observed that all heart were In tho band of God, who was able, without human aid, to place there what Ho would,' "'Vou talk then, of a miracle,' re plied Annunelata. I believe,' said I, 'that tho work by which a heart that was dead in sins becomes living before God 1 always a miracle accomplished by a celestial power.' "'Nobody doubt that,' said she; 'but believe you refuse to the church the power of doing miracles,' " 'I think," said I, 'that in the actual tato of things, God does not manifest Himself In the church by any uper- natural manner.' "'And yet you pretend to havo re ceived, by some dlvlno Influence, not only tho knowledge of spiritual things, but thut even of torrctlal thing. I will not deny that the hermit In hi ort cell i able to receive divine communication, but a to tho letter of the Scripture, it i a natural thing and something to bo acquired by human mean, If, then Clarlsso, you have ob tained the knowledge without human aid, It Is a miracle more wonderful than any by which the church i glorified.' "1'crmit me, my lster, to answer you ny a question: wnat na rnauo you think that I have denied reading tho Bible'' Do you not believe that the Scripture alone havo taught me the argument that I havo employed?' "Then, carried away by an excuso of tenderness, I cried: " 'O Annunelata! friend of my first years, wouia mat i were auio to open to you my heart and plead before you the cause of eternal truth, that truth which ha enlightened my soul, and scattered all It uierlltlon and fuar which frightened me In respect to tho future, and sustain mo In tho present evils! Oh how happy I am In possessing In ma tho true peace arid eternal life.' "Vou uso equivocation a to tho question that I have often asked.

" 'If my principle accord with tho Scriptures, I am not a heretic; and if they are contrary to tho word of truth, bow could the reading of them havo produced tho change?' " 'One can err moro easily In giving fill so sense to tho Scripture, than those who do not read them? Hence tho director of our holy church deny theBlblo to tho people, and they do well.
