NOT THE WORK OF
BISHOP LAWRENCE.
Had Absolutely Nothing to Do
With Endless Chain"
Letter

A short time ago the endless chain
prayer" attributed to Bishop William
Lawrence. Of Massachusetts, was
printed in The Evening Journal This
prayer especially appealed to the SUI
perstitious. The letters accompanying
the prayer promised that a great hap
piness would come to those who said
IL, and that some dire calamity would
befall those who did not.
A number Of local Episcopalians. who
were anxious that the truth about
Bishop Lawrence's connection with
this endless chain prayer be ascertain
ed, appealed TO one Of the clergy to
communicate with the bishop and find
cut IL possible what truth, II any. there
was in the story that he was the author
of the prayer. Several days ago the
clergyman received a communication
from p. M. Hull, the secretary OF
Bishop Lawrence. which is a positive
denial OF the bishop having had any
thing to do with the matter
Bishops seeretary's Statement.
The text Of the note is as follows:
Diocesan House, Boston.
Bishop Lawrence has received your
communication. AS he receives so
many similar to yours he Is unable to
.answer them all by his own hand He
has had nothing to do with the endless
chain prayer attributed TO him He
thinks II must be the work Of an ir-
responsible person, and hopes those
who receive them will destroy them.
Denial to this effect has appeared n
the daily and church papers. and the
press associations have twice printed
denials.
please do whatever you can to stop
this nuisance. Thanking you.
yours truly,
'P. NJ. Huh. Secretary"
This denial Will be gratifying to
members Of the Episcopal churches, In
|asmuch as they do not like to have
the name OF so prominent a churchman
las Bishop Lawrence associated with
such necromancy as the endless prayer
implies.
