Minneapolis Divines.

DlFIhCSs
Rev. John Alex. Dowie and wife, of
Melbourne, Australia, yesterday began
a two weeks mission, in which healing
by faith will be advocated and its prin-
ciples taught. Two meetings will be
held every day. at 2 and p. n., except
on Wednesday and Saturday. Next
Saturday there will be no meeting, and
on Wednesday the evening meeting will
be the only one of the day, the hall
being occupied in the afternoon
by the democratic city convention.
Last night, as preface to the regular
exercises, Dr.. Dowie outlined his pro-
gramme for the week. Tonight he will
answer the objections of those persons
who cite the Old Testament teachings
as proof against divine healing. He
holds that all disease Is the DEVILS
work and not the result of Gods
agency. He will also give synopsis
of the Book of Job as praof of his posi-
tions. Tuesday evening he will answer
New Testament problems and discuss
the story of the man born blind, PauPS
thorn in the flesh, Trophemus left at
Miletus sick, and ''Whom the Lord lov-
gifts of healing will be discussed.
Thursday will be devoted to Esprit
ualism Unmasked." Christian science
will be handled on Friday. as well as
theosophy, trance evangelism, and
other ''diabolical delusions," he putting
it that all are equally unchristian and
unscientific. He purposes handling
Christian science with hard gloves. Be-
fore he got down to the work of the
evening DR.. Dowie delivered himself of
a few words of advice to Minneapolis
ministers who have uttered criticisms
on his teachings and workings. He
said that his tongue was bridled as to
ministers. but that he would cast off the
tether if he heard much more from
them, as what they had said about him
were scandatOus utterances from ig-
norapt and impertinent persons.
''TheSe ministers who have been talk
ing about me-" continued the exponent
of divine healing. and his shiny bumps
of benevolence and veneration fairly
cleaned as he said it, ''are the men who
are dong the work done by the Phari-
knowledge and enter not in themselves.
They must stop their talking. If they
do not we will speak. We will not allow
them to tell lies about US. Our char
acters are dear to the people of
other lands, and we will protect
them. If l hear any more from
those men, will deal with them-not
by process of law, but I'll have them up
here and pound them in the name of
the Lord. l don't care for myself, but
l will stand up for God, and l will not
allow His banner to be trailed in the
mud. We are nothing in ourselves, but
the Lord has kept us with stainless
names. and we purpose TO protect them.
/ will not allow any ministers in this
city to tell lies with impunity about
Gods work."
DR.. Dowie seemed very much in ear
nest. and, as one of the ministers at
whom his remarks were directed is sup
posed to be DR.. d. J.. Burrell. the pros
poets for a ministerial mill are brilliant.
The Australian divine then preached
on :'Five Beautiful Lessons From Be-
thesda," illustrating his words by di-;
agram, in which all good, both physical,
and spiritual, was held to come from:
Christ. Yesterday afternoon 1.-The:
Sweet Redemption Song" was ex
pounded.
