QUESTIONABLE METHODS.

ITO THE EDITOR OF THE OPINIoN:-
There has been during the las
few months large circulation thrC
the United States mails of a chair
prayer purporting to have been rec
commended by Bishop Lawrence. A
province of "some great Joy" is be
slowed upon whoever faithfully
sends this prayer and the accom-
panying letter to nine different per.
sons on nine successive days, and
the statement is made that at the
great feast in Jerusalem it was said
that whosoever wrote this prayer
would be delivered of some great
calamity.
The writer wishes to call the at
tention of your readers, Mr.. Editor,
to the fraudulent origin of this
player chain and to it's unchristian
character.
In the first place, Bishop Law
renee never sanctioned or recon-
mended this letter or even knew
of his name being connected with
this chain until it had gained large
circulation and then publicly dis
claimed any connection with it
whatsoever. Then we see that de-
ceit was used by the one who start
ed it to give it a certain supposed
authority. The promise Of joy to
those who comply with the di-
rections given is manifestly a de-
liberate attempt at deception and
an appeal to unworthy feelings.
Such promise is contrary to every
teaching of Christianity and repug-
nant to spiritual religious thought,
Joy does not come from any such
exercises and is not consequent
upon the number of letters written
but upon the state of one s heart
and the life lived.
The statement which is made in
the letter relative to the feast in
Jerusalem" and the saying attri-
buted' to it is of the most spurious
nature, another attempt at deliber-
ate deception.
Thus we see we have a strange
combination in this letter of a
prayer supported by deception, mis-
statement and decidedly unchris-
tian promises.
There are certain people of weak
mind and unstable faith upon
whom such a letter would have a
pernicious influence as soon as its
deceitfulness was discovered.
We trust therefore that the read
ers of the OPINION will help put a
stop to the currency which this
thing has gained and consign all
such missives to the waste-basket.
Both time and money can be spent
in much more profitable ways.
Sincerely,
+. A. LEGG.

ELLIOTT F. SAWYER.

ing as he made an evening visit on
a friend who lived in the same
block with him, but on Fri
day morning he was discovered

emily he had just sat down on his
return from his visit and death had
come speedily.

ASTHMA VANISHES
So Does Catarrh, Group, Hay
Fever and Bronchitis.

Hyomei is a confidence creator.
The first time you breathe in this
powerful yet soothing, antiseptic
air, you will know that it has
marvellous curative virtues. There
is nothing disagreeable about Hy-
omei. 1t is a very pleasant and
prompt remedy for catarrh, colds,
asthma, Group, bronchitis, etc.
If your head is so stuffed with
mucous that you cannot breathe
particle of air through your nos
trils, Hyomei will open them up
and give relief in five minutes.
Why will sensible people suffer
longer, why will they wheeze and
hawk and spit and smother, when
]. NJ. Taylor will guarantee Hyo-
mel to cure or money back. $1.OO
is all j. M. Taylor asks for a COM
plete outfit.
81 have used Hyomei for hay
fever, and can pronounce it the
best relief for this trouble that 1
ever tried or heard of. I have
had this malady for years, and
have doctored and used many
remedies, but Hyomei is far ahead
of any of the others, and has my
hearty endorsement" Mrs. M.

EASTER AT THE CHURCHES

Easter Sunday was a bright and
sunny day, although a trife un-
seasonably cool. Each church held
a separate morning service with APP
propriate sermons, music and dec
orations. The Eastertide brought
out a goodly number to worship
and the spirit of the day pervaded
the place.
Sunday evening, the choir of
Grace church bad prepared an
Easter Cantata, The Story of Cal
vary, and the Congregational con-
gregation was invited to join in the
service. The people came for the
evening service until there was
scarcely vacant pew to be seen in
the auditorium.
The theme of the cantata was
the trial, crucifxion and resurrec-
tion of the Christ, and the interpre-
tation of the music added new
thoughts to the old, old story
which has made Easter so full of
meaning not only to the well and
happy bnt even more to those in
sorrow and sickness and bereave-
ment. F. L. Cummings did the
solo work, effectively. The Orches-
ira also added very much to the
credit of the whole production.
The "Story" made a deep impress
sion as it was a reverent and spir-
itual Interpretation Of the closing
Of the earth life of the Son of God
and the Elder brother of mankind.
Mrs. Hooker, under whose direc-
ton the music was produced, is to
be congratulated upon the success
full rendering of the Cantata.

NIAGARA is IcE-6OuND.
Surface Of River is Covered BY Mcn-

NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y, April 10
The surface OF Niagara river from the
cataract 10 Lake Ontario was COM
pletely covered last night by an fec
Jam OF immense proportions. The
damage done 10 docks and BOAT houses
is estimated at $4,000.
The tracks of the Gorge road for a
distance OF two miles are under ten
feet OF solid ice. The docks OF the
Niagara Navigation Co. At Lewiston.
where the Toronto boats touch in the
summer months, are under 80 foot Of
ice and will be badly damaged If not
entirely destroyed.
AT the Whirlpool there is thick
ness Of about 80 feet and all that IL
visible OF the giant pool is a circle
OF % feet in diameter. Below the
Devils Hole there are not a dozen
stretches OF open water.
The most unprecedented conditions
are directly due 10 the great winl
storm which sent immense foes down
from Lake Erie.
