T.. Z. Whitney, the Minneapolis
apostle Of Geo. j. Schwcinfurth, the
son of God,' was asked to account
for tho recent occurrence. IN Schwein-
furth's household in Rockford. In
other words, he WAS asked who bcgOt
the child born 10 Miss Mary Wei
don, the Holy Ghost or Geo. j. Swtih-
fur,h, and il the Holy Ghost bcgOt 1t,
did the spirit act independently or
through Mr.. Schwciniurlh. Mr. Whit
ney talked unrestralnc,ily.
The child born TO Mary Weldon
he said, IVA. conceived by the Holy
Ghost aud born without sin. Miss
Weldon Is Il remarkably beautiful and
talented young woman"
But did the Holy Ghost act through
Mr.. Srhweinfurh =
"That al, not prepared TO say. The
WAYS OF Gud are imsCrutable. But we
are not free lovers. We believe alb
solule chastity should be the attribute
of both SEXES
"Dul NOW UUONl iio' ""A Wv .
Don't the members OF your church
who are married live together and
raise children 2"
Mr.. whitney smiled and shook his
head us he replied: mo, they do not.
ANY married couple in our church
bringing forth children would be dis
graced. They would he considered
guilty Of adultery -,
"But how about Miss Weldon"
, THAT is different. She is one OF
, the redeemed, the sanCiitied, as ST.
Paul puts ii. None but the redeemed
can bear chi!iren. These children are
pure, because they are conceived 10y
The Holy Ghost, just as Jesus Christ
was nearly 1900 years ago"
How many members OF your
church are redeemed ?"
II could't state positively; perhaps
twelve or fifteen"
"Arc any Of them nen?
None, except Mr.. Schweiniurth, Of
course. lie is the Son OF God. Thai
is. the same spirit dwells in him tha
dwelt in Jesus Christ. Mrs. Beekman
lust before she died, sone SIX years
AGO, gave her spiritual life to MI
Schweinlurth. 'Thou art redeemed
unp thy hand | commit the care OF al
the churches WAS what she wrote ''
him from Colorado"
Then do you claim that Mary wei
don was not approached by ar
schweinfurlh, and that he Is not TN
physical father of her child "
IL know that the child was cciceIV
ed by the Holy Ghost"
"Do YOU think Miss Weldon woul'
hav, borne that child It she had no
seen a man for Il year or two previous
ly!' ,,,. ;.
~ do" replied Mr.. Whitney. "
; believe Miss Weldon 10 bc as she say
she is, perfectly chasie. AS far as MI
Schwcinfurh marrying her is con
ccrned, there ia no truth in the state
nen,,. In the perfect life which W
are striving to attain we VIII heithe
marry nor Inc given in marriage"
GLOW then will the race be pcrpetu
atcd?"
''Bv the Holy GDost.
"The Holy Ghost will beget all tn
children when everybody is redeem
ed?'
"Yes, most certainly"
"What will mans function be then
Wouldn't such on arrangement D
considered rather partial?"
81 can't say as TO that. we can
divine Gods purposes"
Mr. Whitney then went on to eA
ulain the doctrine of Schweinturth an
his disciples. They stood upon tn
Bible, from Genesis to Revelation
They didn't believe III the regnla
church idea of hell. "The moder
B.. churches are all de6asing Christ an
his teachings" concluded the gentle
man. "Their members are hypocrite
They do not live up to Jesus insIru'
,ions. We do, in so far as we cal
Our precrpt is, BY their fruits yc sha
know them"
