But this was not my first knowledge OF

Oa bis last visit 10 Philadelphia. In April

for New York on Tuesday morning. Daring

quart of lager beer, two quarts or stock ale,
and flask of French brandy. Besides this
be had several drinks in the saloons while
We were out waking. Il was on this occs

your city today is a man meaning himself

Early IA tbs month of September 1887,
this Bishop made = trip from Scotland TO
New YORK, on the steamer Sta.e of Ne
oraska, In company with Mary HawleY
While on his trip a- INDUCED 80 freely in
brandy, that he became 50 violent that the
captain was Obliged TO pat him in irons
and set man TO keep guard over him.
This man testitlss that wnile In this state OF
intoxication, he was the sport OF the men
who had bin Ia charge. This becoming
known soon after he reached Ner York
the Bishop gave the following account o
! the affair TO Brother Maxwell of the Child
ren Of Zion church in Brooklyn. He said:
! Il had sirocco fever aboard the steamer
and while insensibie called for a bottle OF
brandy, which drank, and considering M
under the inhusnce Of liquor they treated
me very badly" he showed Brother Max
, well bis wrists which bore the marks O
the manaces. This Is, the story which IN,
Bishop gives Bat from my own persona
knowledge Of bis habits | can readily be-
, lieve the statement OF the man who wa
guard over him during what ne regards as
{ fit OF drunkenness. IL Is not probabis
that a man suffering from fevsr would b.
mistaken to De in drunken debaGch by
the captain oi-the steamer.
IL IS one feature of th
Bishops teaching that ne being the choser
one Of God to lead Zion. they must submi
themselves completely 70 his will. thai
such 80 do this receive. through him
special divine gifts and blessings. Esps

tie, not even that OF their own husbands
must Dc permitted 20 come between then

women, having been pressed for months 9,
yield themselves 10 him IN a way which
was rspugnant to their own sense Of homo
