The writer has in common with some
other well known persons been receiving
what purports and is intended to be, an
endless chain" prayer arrangements; it
is said to be sent out by a certain (or an
uncertain) Bishop Lawrence, as its orig
inator, tho the real sender signs no name.
The writer hae had several already.'
Whether the Bishop Laweenc is a
Protestant, Catholic or Mormon, we have
no means of discovering. Only thegullib-
ly superstitions would answer such com
munication, the only possible resultant
good he:pg the further enriching of the

Contarwise. he who accede to request,
rewriting it for nine diys and sending to
nine other persons will, on the-ninth day,

None of these have I answered, nor
