In 1884 the platform on which Cleveland

the Oldest and most faithful female

who came In mysterious way.
Mary Weldon, whose father and

Schweinfurth, also has a pretty 2

utters as gospel truth. Weldon is
nearing threescore years and ten and
has always been what his neighbors
call religious crank" His sons
regard Schweinfurth with considerable
awe and have been brought up to re-
gard him as their lord and master.
Schweinfurth was certainly lucky in
falling in with family so well dis
posed toward him and so well able to

He possesses quite a large library and
spends much of his time among his

Whatever may be said in condem-
nation of Schweinfurth's peculiar
morals, nobody can truthfully say
that he lacks shrewdness or ability.
1t may be only ability to hoodwink
weaker mortals, but there is no gain
saying the fact that he uses it in a
TRULY cunning manner. He is averse
to talking about his doctrine to out
siders-the heretics. 1t doesn't pay,
and Schweinfurth never engages in
anything that doesn't yield fair
profit to George Jacob.
Schweinfurth was born in Marion
County, Ohio, in 1853. His early
years were passed in company of mere
mortals, and he acted as one until he
evolved his grand wool-pulling scheme
that has blinded the eyes of his de-
luded followers. Now he acts worse
than ordinary mortals. In his youth
he gave indication that his life would
be consecrated to God, and his

Christ as a model of his own career.
He gradually became conscious, he
says, that neither the ortho-
dox churches nor their ministers
could satisfy his aspirations While
stationed at Alpena, Mich, Schwein-
furth became acquainted with
woman named Dora Beekman, who
was conducting a mission there. Her
permanent home was Byron, Ill,
where she ministered to a congrega-
tion who aimed at life of actual
holiness, areligion that was not ac-
ceptable to the popular churches Of
that town. Schweinfurth attended
the mission services, and his belief in
the practicability Of man becoming
the image and counterpart of God
was strengthened and developed.
Mrs. Beekman was the first preacher
he had heard that satisfied him,
and ultimately his preaching, fash
toned after hers, became un-
acceptable to his orthodox hearers.
Then he went to Byron and
became associated with Mrs.
Beekman in her pastorate. This
connection continued until her death
in 1882. For the last ten years his
place of abode has been the Weldon
farm, which is only nine miles north
of Byron. Schweinfurth claims that
Mrs. Beekman was made to know by
an inner illumination that she was
the woman clothed in white described
in the Revelations, the spiritual
mother of Christ in his second COM
ing, and when she found that he was
partaking of her spirit and showing
the characteristics of the Christ, she
was further assured that he was in
deed the Messiah. She announced
the fact to her people, and at her
death in 1882 he succeeded to her
pastorate and has since continued to
fill the throne.
When an individual recognizes
Schweinfurth as the Christ, and fol-
lows him accordingly, he or she be-
comes a member Of the Church Trl-
umphant," as they call 1t. The
church" is entirely void Of rites or
ceremonies. Services are held every
Sunday, when Schweinfurth speaks
from two to four hours, his sermons
being taken in shorthand by his sis
ter, who, by the way, is an exceed
ingly expert stenographer. They are
then sent to the other congregations

begin with some good singing by the
angels" and the opening exercises
are similar to those in the Methodist
Church, where he received his religi-
Gus training. 1t is only when he begins
his discourse that the peculiarities Of
his doctrine become apparent. AL
most invariably his sermons are di-
rected to the evidences of divinity
manifested In his life and work. His
chief argument Is that God, having
finally decided that the means of re-
demption are inadequate to the needs
of mankind, has determined to make
another effort to rescue a perishing
world. To accomplish this end, he
claims, God has raised him up from
among the people, clothed him with
divinity and power from on high, and
