Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (A Guide to Confident Living), the Post-Hall syndicate has signed 34 newspapers...
From the Pulpit. The Belangers had the support of Father Emile Bourassa of St. Patrice de Beaurivage parish. Said he: "Extraordinary things, that seem to come from divine powers, are going on." They recalled that when Father Edmond Pelletier of St. Sylvestre preached a sermon against the miracles, he became so ill that he had to leave the church. That did not stop him from condemning the "miracles" as "the most horrible exploitation of superstition I have ever seen...
