KANSAS CHURCHES.
Church Triumphant.
2 Kansas City Gazetta-


From the Kansas City Gazette.
Rev. George ]. Schweinfurth, of
Rockford, Ill, who claims to be Jesus
Christ on his second visit to earth, is
stopping at the home os Mrs. Ward,
914 East Fourteenth street, Kansas
City, Mo. Mrs. Ward is the leader of
Schweinfurth's followers in this city,
and when the New Christi arrived in
Kansas City he Immediately repaired to
Mrs. Wards house. He will stop there
while in the city. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mrs. Ward was convicted of
heresy by Presbyterian council in this
city for her belief in SchweInfurth.
Wednesday night Rev. Sehweinfurth
conducted services at Mrs. Wards home.
He will preach there Sunday morning
at IL o'clock. The services will be open
to the public. He calls his faith the
Church Triumphant. His followers in
this city number fifteen. There are
eight men and seven women and all live
with Mrs. Ward.
Schweinfurth apparently fully be-
lieyes that he is Christ returned to
earth. In his doctrine there are no sac
raments, no marriage, baptism, or any
thing of the kind. All he advocates is
people doing right and observing the
law of God. The home of Mrs. Ward is
considered ''heaven" in the same way
as is the home of Schweinfurth at Rock
ford. He has a small farm there and is
we'll do. He is a well educated man,
tall and well built and OF good address.
Schweinfurth is thirty-eight years of
age and was at one time a Methodist
minister. About seven years ago he
met a Mrs. Beekman at a small town IN
Michigan She was preaching the doc
trine he now advocates. She had been
claiming Christ was soon to come to
earth. When she met SchWeinfurth she
decided he was Jesus and SO introduced
him. He sided in with the theory and
has since pursued it. His followers
firmly believe it.
Schweinfurth will not discuss his re-
hgion with reporters.
A follower of his, when asked last
night how long he would be in the city,
replied: at know not. He Is Christ,
and which way or when the Lord goes
no one knows"
