The Methodist Cause.

The following item was handed us
for publication, and explains itself:
On Sunday, March II, although the
weather was unfavorable, the Rev. j.
Blamey went to Powell Park arriving
just in time to be present at the Sunday
school which commences at 3 O'Clock p.
IN. After the services were over it was
announced TINT there would be preach
ing in the evening and through earnest
endeavors of the young men of the Sab
bath school congregation of about
forty people were present. The result
was that class was formed with four
teen members many of which had not
been members of any society before.
The cause is in a very hopeful condition.

and second to delay the issuance of the
patent till near the time of the origi-
nails expiry. Thus the patent asked
for in 1877 was not issued until 1891.
If this patent is allowed to stand it
will prolong the Bell monopoly for ff-
teen years. and that is what the COM
pany has labored, contrived and played
tricks to accomplish.
The proceedings by which the patent
was secured were full of Irregularities.
There is scarcely room for doubt that
the whole thing will be declared void if
it is ever brought TO the test of II jul
dicial decision.
The company's plan is to prevent
that by policy of postponement and
delay. The government has brought
suit to annul the patent, but it is at the
foot of a long list on the calender, and
AN attempt to secure congressional au-
thority for its advancement has failed.
The company will practice every de-
vice that ingenious lawyers can invent
to secure delay.
Several years at least will elapse be-
fore final judgement can be reached, in
all probability. Meantime the patent
will hold good, and the Bell Telephone
Company will go on practising the ex-
tortion which enables it to pay divi-
dends every year many times greater
than the total amount OF its actual in
vestment.-EX.

Yet this frequently happens, and only

these bills are the most cxDcrtlv coun-
