Miracle Maker Page #2

I prayed to God

to spare your mother.

I prayed hard, Lily.

On my knees, I begged . . .

I know.

and He still took her.

That's why we're not going.

[Growls]

"And when Jesus departed thence,

two blind men followed him,

crying and saying

"Thou Son of David, have mercy

on us."

And when He was come into the

house,

the blind men came to Him,

and Jesus saith unto them,

"Belieive ye that I am able to

do this?"

They said unto Him, "Yea, Lord."

Then touched He their eyes,

saying,

"According to your faith,

be it unto you."

And their eyes were opened,

and Jesus straightly charged

them, saying"

My, my, my.

Look at Gabriel Hollis.

But look at Sarrah.

Well, he is preaching a sermon.

It's not his preaching she's

interested in.

[Snorting]

"And Jesus straightly charged

them, saying

that no man know it."

If I were young again

Who would you choose?

Why would I have to choose?

[Laughter]

Miracles happen every day.

For example, a newborn baby.

Miracles are . . . are all

around us.

We just have to know where to

look for them.

Don't you think his sermons are

getting a bit longwinded?

He's pining for Lily.

So we all have to suffer?

Oh!

[Church bell rings]

[Blows out candle]

If it snowed in Woodhaven, would

that be a miracle?

It hasn't snowed in Woodhaven

since before you were born.

But Pastor Keating said that

miracles could happen today,

just like they did in the Bible.

That's right, Rae.

So if someone could make a

miracle happen,

they would be called a Miracle

Maker,

and I bet they could make it

snow.

Isn't that right, Pastor?

that's not exactly what I said,

no.

But that's what I heard.

What do you think a miracle

maker would be like, Pastor?

Well, um . . .

I suppose a miracle maker could

be someone who

does something out of the

ordinary

something remarkable to

better the world.

I think he'd be important

like a rich man, but not like

Mr. Booth.

And he'd be kind.

And helpful.

And he'd make it snow!

Snow?

Well,

he could if he wanted to!

My pa says we need a miracle in

Woodhaven,

or we're all gonna be in a

whole lotta trouble.

All right,

you kids get going now.

Come on.

[footsteps]

Come on.

Is that what a miracle maker

looks like?

[telegraph clicking]

[telegraph clicking]

[footsteps]

[telegraph clicking]

A telegraph?

We haven't received a telegraph

in years!

[telegraph clicking]

What does it say?

Uh... it says that a miracle

maker is coming to town.

When?

Doesn't say.

We need to tell everyone!

All we have to do is tell Agnes

and Bessie, and within minutes

the whole town will know!

[giggling]

You're all gonna be late for

work now.

But what about the

miracle maker?
