Signs of Heaven

Instantly the Drums for the Dead Fell Silent
Because a group of Africans in Cameroon were longing for the Sacra-
ments of the Sword-Bishop, he ordained an African to priest and sent
him there. A short time later, when the Sword-Bishop was visiting the
place, he had to find out that our financial resources are insufficient to
safeguard a branch establishment there. More frequent contact, which
really would only have been achieved with expensive flights and phone
calls, etc., and the permanent stay of at least one European would
have been necessary. He suffered terribly from the decision whether to
provide the Sacraments for the souls or to safeguard our Mother House,
which cannot be allowed to bleed dry financially. Now down there
amongst the natives it is customary for the death drums to be beaten for
several days when someone has died. This noise and all the razz-
matazz became increasingly unbearable for the Sword-Bishop. There-
fore, it was later in the evening, he said to GOD: „If it be Your will that I
withdraw from Africa, then let the drums be silent.“ Instantly the drums
stopped and did not start beating again, although normally they would
have been beaten for three or four days in a row.
The next day the locals there were very astonished at this sudden si-
lence of the drums, and it caused quite an uproar.
