Miss Chloe Ann Violet, resident Of the
Second Ward i'm this city, thirty-fiye days
ago to-day started ont on starvation fast,
under the impression that the Lord she had
served for many years required another
sacrifice, and that sacrifice must be herself.
Thirty-iye days ago this lady, respected by
all who know her, received, according TO
her belief. the Divine command, and from
that time she has abstained from all kinds
of food for the body, but spiritual food
she has INDUCED in to n great extent.
She has spent the entire time OF her
fast i'm prayer and meditation and in
reading the Scriptures. Miss Violet
claims that her fast is in accordance with
an unmiStakabe command from the
Lord Jesus Christ, who appeared TO
her and told ner that il she committed
suicide i'm any other way except by fasting
she would be guilty of a great sin, and
would be held responsible, but II in fast
she starved TO death, the gates OF glory
wOuld be thrown wide open TO her. Many
friends of the deluded lady have tried to
persuade her out OF her strange hallucina-
tion. but their efforts have been in vain.
She kept mp until yesterday, when, over
come by weakn IS, she had to take to her
bed, where she remains, as fully deter
mined TO obey the supposed command OF
the Lord as when she first started out on
her suicidal course.
Rev. DR.. Poulson, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, at the request Of friends,
