And childhood with its brow OF truth,
The rich and poor. on and and sea-
Where will the mighty millions be

AsTRANGE MESSAGE AND PRAYER
Catholics of Eureka are Receiy-
ing Letters Which Hint at
Impending Danger.

Several mysterious letters have been
received recently by Catholics Of Eu-
reka which is causing some comment.
The letter is In the nature Of a threat
of impending danger in case a certain
prayer contained in the letter Is not
semi by the party receiving it to q
friend who will do likewise. The let
ter is as follows:
Whoever reads and writes the fol-
lowing prayer once a day for a period
Of nine days shall, at the end Of that
time, receive a great joy. Beginning
the day the prayer is received, read it
once and send a copy to some u who
will do likewise. The prayer was
sent by the Bishop of Rome with the
following story: "a copy of the pray
er was sent to a woman who paid no
attention to it and at the end of the
third day her son was sssassinated Who
W. received it must say it and send a
copy once a day for nine days" The
following is the prayer enclosed:
The Prayer.
Lord Jesus Christ, we beseech Thee,
o Lord. our God. Holy Eternal, have
mercy on me and all sinners forever,
Amen. o, Lord Jesus Christ, we be-
seech Thee, Lord Eternal, have mercy
on us, save us from all harm in Thy
precious blood now and forever. Amen.
Believe the Letter a Fraud.
On the face of the letter, the whole
thing is stamped as a fraud. In the
first place there is no such person as a
Bishop of Rome. And then In the sec.
ond place no prayer can be added to the
ritual Of the church unless the bishop
Of the diocese approves it aud then
sends it to the Congregation of Rites
which convenes only in the Holy City
and is composed entirely of Cardinals.
But still the letter and prayer are
going the rounds and there are hun.
dreds who are tinged with sufficient
superstition to take it seriously.
Many of the letters contain q more di-
rect threat than the letter copied here
with. People are heightened at the
threat and fear to take a chance Of in
curing the awful calamity which they
believe will befsll them if they do no,
heed the message.

THE WAY TO REFORM CONGRESS
